Bottle Cap Art

I made these key chains and book mark using the Stampin' Up Bottle Caps. (Soda Pop Tops - 129388 - Pg. 24 in the current mini catalog) You get assorted large and small caps. The 1/2" punch fits the small ones perfectly and the 1 inch punch fits the larger cap.

And as you remember, you can run these thru your Big Shot and flatten them for a different look. After adding your embellishment, cover with Crystal Effects for that added touch.

Until next time!

Honeycomb Cards

These are two cards I quickly made using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder 129378 from Stampin Up. I cut the hexagons on one card by hand and on the other I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a 3/4" hexagon and it worked great!

The Designer Paper is retired but I was just playing to see if it would work. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time!

Challenge 222


Challenge 222
Sorry to see you go?

At the end of this month we will get our new catalog for 2013 - 2014.  This year Stampin' Up made a color change to their color collections.  With the color change some of our favorite colors are retiring.  This week's challenge wants you to use your favorite colors that are retiring on your project.

Create a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, or anything else you can think of using your favorite colors you will miss when they are gone.


I have always loved More Mustard! It was such a great Fall color and I'm really gonna miss it.

Strawberry Fields

Jake, Stephanie & PawPaw went strawberry picking Monday. It was such a beautiful day too. Jake loves strawberries but he's getting camera shy and just won't show that great smile! Guess it's the age.


Until next time!

Challenge 222

Mornin' Ladies:

This is our Challenge 222 and is a sad but exciting time at Stampin' Up. All the new products are so exciting and so much fun BUT it is hard to say 'good-bye' to some of our favorites!

This cute birthday card also features new Wobbles from Seaside Crafters. They will be available soon and if you could see this in real life... the balloons wobble! How neat! Just think of the possibilities.

Again, Baja Breeze is going away for good! (Twitterpad DSP too) I will sure miss it. Baja was one of my favorites but as in the past, change is GOOD with some exciting new color combinations!

Create a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, or anything else you can think of using your favorite colors you will miss when they are gone.

Faux Paint Swatches


I KNOW, I KNOW - this is NOT the Technique of the Week that Jane introduced to you on Monday, the 6th. Well let me explain, I don't have the Copic Air Brush system so I am going with this technique, Faux Paint Swatch as seen in our April/May Technique Junkies Newsletter.


It is fun, quick and easy but makes a fantastic background. I used Not Quite Navy (retiring), Marina Mist & Wild Wasabi Stampin' Up Classic Ink and the Best of Butterflies Stamp 133345 & matching Butterfly punch and Secret Garden Stamp Set 129144 with corresponding Framelits.

I hope you like my 'technique' and give it a try.


Until next time!
