Happy Easter

Just wanted to wish each of you a Happy Easter! A few weeks back Shelli (the CEO of Stampin' Up) posted on her website some super cute decorated eggs she had made. I thought they were too cute so I had to make one myself!


They were actually pretty simple to do. I just covered a large plastic egg with strips of paper using decoupage. I let it dry then stamped my image around various spots of the eggs and let me just say the cling stamps sure make that easy to do with odd shaped surface!! After that just added some extra touches with the brads and ribbon. I think it came out great!! Happy Stamping!!

Speed Racer

The other day my Son and I needed to work on his derby car for our packs races .... literally the night before. He had wanted something thin so he decided on doing a speed limit sign. So you are probably wondering how exactly this works with stamping right? He actually created his "sign" using our My Digital Studio program.

Basically he used the punches on a MDS project rounded the corners and then added the black mating. He then added text to create his wording and lastly he added the little turtle to the bottom. After he made his creation and printed it he cut it down to fit the wood and glued it on. We did add some shimmer paint to make the sign's look kind of pearly. He had a lot of fun making it and his car was pretty fast too! It was the fastest car in the pack, which was a first for him!! Happy Stamping!!

Scrapbook Page Pouch

I am working on a secret sister gift and this will be part of it. It is one of those that I have been working on. It is something I made previous and did a Tutorial on before, basically I used a 6x6 album page and adhered it to a base with a flap. To keep the flap down I attached some felt so that it can be open like a pouch. You can also see the other one's that I made here and here. I used the die Fun Flowers to make the flower and the DSP I used is the hostess sampler pack. I will be filling it with some stamped images that she requested. You could easily make this into a 6x6 scrapbook page as well! Happy Stamping!!

Strength & Hope Sneak Peak

I haven't posted much because it has been crazy busy here .... I have hardly been home much less had time to create. So today I made sometime to make this card using the set Strength & Hope.

First I have to tell you that Stampin" Up! is donating $2 for every set purchased to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation as well as the digital kit of this set just as soon as this set is released in the summer mini catalog which is May 1st. I love this card and it has a bunch of different elements to it which I think makes this card and to be honest is more than I normally add. I hope you like it too!! Happy Stamping!!

Butterfly Frame

Here is the gift part of my friends birthday gift that I gave with the card I shared last week.

Everything but the butterflies and ribbon are underneath the glass panes. Most of the things I used wee retired product here too but who doesn't love the stamp All a Flutter and he was the right size for this frame!! I embossed the butterfly than added the color with my aquapainter. Happy Stamping!!

Throwback Thursday - Stipple Butterfly

I made this card for a friends birthday and she loves butterflies so I pulled out my retired Stipple Butterfly to make her card. Actually several pieces are from my stash of retired SU, the base, hardware, the EP, inks and the mulberry paper!! It's all stuff I wish we carried again as they were some of my favorites! Happy Stamping!

Buttons and more buttons

I decided to play around with my button button set and to be honest I love buttons but this set is a bit challenging for me to use. We won't even discuss how long it took me to make this card and I'm still not sure if I like it. I think it's because I'm more a of a simple stamper and don't tend to use lots of piece on my cards. Either way it's still pretty cute. Happy Stamping!!
