Sneak Peek #1 -- Petite Purse Die

Well the new Stampin Up Catalogue is coming out June 1st and I have a little sneak peek for you.   This little Petite Purse Bigz L Die is so adorable!  Great for class room gifts or shower favours!  The die actually cuts out the purse and the handle so all the hard work is done and all you have to do is pick the paper and dazzle it up a bit.  You should expect to see more of these on my blog soon I have having a blast with it.

 I used Regal Rose and Blushing Bride for the pink purse and Island Indigo and Baja Breeze for the blue purse.

 I used the same colors for the card that will accompany the purse.  For the stamp I used Blushing Bride ink with Regal Rose highlights from a marker the technique is called "tap dancing."   It works great if you ink the stamp in a lighter color and tap the marker in a darker shade. 

For the blue card I used Baja Breeze ink on the stamp and tapped an Island Indigo marker on the stamp before putting it to paper.


Below is a close up view of this technique.  

Thanks for looking, keep an eye out for the next Seek Peek,

Summer Smooches!

Baby - Baby - Baby

So the "secret" project I mentioned a few weeks ago is over and now I can share it with the world!  My good friend and Neighbour had a baby shower for a very good friend.  After having 3 boys she finally had a girl and we were excited to go crazy with the pink!  I love making baby items but rarely get the chance so I took the chance to make some super fun and sweet items. 

 Above is the banner I made for the shower. I know you have seen the onesie cards that people have been making for awhile so I just adjusted it to make a banner.  Colors used were Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzelberry.  I used some baby button brads (not Stampin Up oops) and my cricut to make the letters. 

Left is the Thank You Party Treats we made for the guests.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the milk carton die!

The cupcake picks are an idea I saw on a card from Splitcoast Stampers I love the little bundles.

I used pretty in pink and put the folder through the swiss dots embossing folder and used the Large Oval punch.  I used the much missed retired blush blossom paper for the face. 

 This is the card and booties I made for the Mommy (Colleen).  I have wanted to try my hand at the baby booties I see all over splitcoast but I have to say, I found them difficult!   For the card I used the retired stocking punch (I will miss that one too).














Below is my neighbour Charity with the little bundle of Joy.  I did not get a picture of Mommy Colleen with her little one, everyone else was too busy holding her!

Thanks for Looking.
