New Core'dinations Card stock is awesome!

Here is one of the cards the lucky ladies who are attending my stamp-a-stack tonight will get to make. I just love how this turned out. I used the new Core'dinations cardstock with the new Woodgrain embossing folder to make that cool texture. After embossing it you just softly go over it with the sand block and the core color shows through. Doesn't it work perfect for woodgrain?

stamps: Perfectly Preserved

paper:  Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze, early espresso Core 'dinations, Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper

Big Shot: Framelits Dies - Cannery Set, Woodgrain embossing folder

Here's to Mickey!

Whoo hoo.. So 8 years after our magical Disney Wedding, we are finally planning on going back this fall! I'm so excited  with the planning I've been inspired to make some mickey-themed stuff so don't be surprised to see it popping up here and there on my blog in the next few months! I can't wait!

Here's a fun card made to look like the yummy mickey shaped ice cream treats that you can get in the parks. I copied this idea from a few similar cards I've seen online but changed mine up a bit. I used circle punches to make the mickey shape and then used circle scallop punches to create the "bite" . The stick is an actual popsicle stick. Then I made the rest of the card using the traditional mickey colors of red, white, black and yellow! Didn't it turn out adorable?

stamps: Friendly Phrases

ink: Black 

paper:  Whisper white, Basic Black, Real Red

Big Shot: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

other: Circle punches, scallop circle punches, large oval punch, dimensionals, stitched daffodil delight grosgrain ribbon, popsicle stick

Happy Birthday Apple Card

Here is a card that I made for my mom for  her birthday! My mom has a big garden and does a ton of canning and such so this was perfect for her. 

I used the new stamp set Perfectly Preserved and the coordinating framelits dies (cannery). DId you notice if you buy the dies and stamp set that coordinate at the same time from the holiday mini you can purchase them as a bundle and save $$? How cool is that! 

For the main image I stamped the jar on very vanilla and the lid and apples and then used the framelits Cannery dies to cut them out in the big shot. It's really cool how easy it is to line these all up and cut them! I popped off one of the apples for some extra dimension using and dimensional dot. And then added some linen thread around the top of the jar lid to make it look like it was tied shut. I used this to add my words the the jar too. 

I also used the framelits Labels die to create the layered shapes and added some texture by paper piercing the edge of the more mustard card stock. 

stamps: Perfectly Preserved, teeny tiny wishes

ink: Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard, Early Espresso

paper:  More Mustard, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple,early espresso, Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper

Big Shot: Framelits Dies - Cannery Set and Labels Set

other: Word Window Punch, Paper piercing tool and template, linen thread, dimensionals

Quick Scrapbooking with Divided pages!

Here are pictures of the pages we made in my scrapbooking  class last week. I think these new divided pages are so cool. It makes scrapbooking go really fast! I'm definitely going to be incorporating pages like these into future scrapbooks! We used the scrapbook kit Bandstand. These kits are great too. The stickers and nice an thick and you barely need to do any stamping or add much to your pages and they go along very quickly! The only things we used that didn't come in the kits was some bakers twine and some punches to make the large flowers.

Newton Loves Stamping!

Sorry -- no cards to share today. I've been busy watching the olympics so I haven't had a chance to do as much stamping this week but I was looking through my photos and wanted to share this one with you! This is my Newton-- silly kitty. I think he loves getting Stampin' Up! packages almost as as much as I do! First he claims the boxes as his, sitting on them or more often, sleeping on them. Then once they are open, it's jump inside and play with the brown paper that comes in them. He also likes to scratch his nose on the open flaps... I often leave the boxes out for a week or so for him to play in before they go in the recycle bin! 

Soon i will have my Scrapbook class photos ready to share! Stay tuned...

Tubin' on the River Punch Art

I had so much fun making this fun punch art card. When we went up to our family cabin this summer it was super hot.. too hot to do much at all!

We had such a good time I wanted to send them a thank you note with these cute little punch art characters on their inner tubes!

Here is a close-up:
