Buzzin' By

Well I was cleaning again and found this ribbon that was on a Bee's gift package (can't think of the name of the stuff right now) but anyway I could not resist! It is such a perfect accent. (re-cycle) I also love the Stampin' Up stamp set Buzzin' By. I did brayer YoYo Yellow over a bubble wrap and then transferred the design to the yellow background. You can't see it real well on the photo but it's there. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time!

Cleaning - again

I found this pink card that I punched over 2 years ago and decided to finish it up. I needed a Sympathy card and I just can't throw things away! So it turned out OK. I used 3 pink buttons inside the little windows and the stamp set 'Thoughts & Prayers' which I borrowed from my DD. The colors are Old Olive & Pink Passion (not my usual color) so in keeping I made the next card.

This one was from the Technique Junkies Newsletter (Feb/March, 2010) Dabbed Shimmers. I used Mambo Melon and White Stampin' Up shimmer paint which is still available for purchase BTW. I used Bella's Bloom for the flower & sentiment. It is a part of Sale-A-Brations from the big Stampin' Up catalog. I dabbed the brad as well so it matches perfectly.

PS I did add some more stuff to my other blog: onlineextras.blogspot.com

Until next time!

Another Jackie Topa Creation - Inspiration

Isn't that the cutest bunny? Great card and totally CASE'd from Jackie Topa. She is a wiz with the punches!

The little 'rag bag' that has been floating around the internet was made using the small scallop Stampin' Up punch and the Box #2 Big Shot die. It is perfect for that small remembrance gift for that special someone. Also a great way to use scraps since it takes 20 small scallop punches. I confess I used retired paper for this one.

This was a Jackie Topa kinda day! However, I did clean a little in my craft room and found a few things I had misplaced! But cleaning finally got the best of me. We are still snowbound but staying warm and stamping!

Until next time!

Two Shares

This Froggie is totally cased from Jackie Topa. She is the 'punch queen' and I love all her work. I didn't have any green candy and with all this snow on the ground had no chance of getting any to put in the heart treat cup soooo this is my sample!

Using the shimmer platium paint I brayered the medallion on the Groom Black paper and made this Best Wishes card which was really quick and easy and elegant! This was featured in the Technique Junkies newsletter recommended by our very own Sherrill Graff.



We are expecting about 12 more inches of snow and I am so concerned about loosing power so thought I had better post this tonight just in case! The snow is beautiful but it is time for it to go away or at least quit. There's another system moving in Tuesday so it's not over yet!

Until next time!

Well - Snow, Snow, Snow

It's snowing again here in Central Virginia! We had so much and now we've added anothre two inches so far and it is supposed to continue until tomorrow afternoon.

We may never get out of here! I have been looking at some of the You Tube videos and watched the Stampin' Up one on how to use the new corner and edge punches so I decided to try it and make this card. It's worth watching - CLICK HERE.

I still have lots of the Groom paper and I love that bird punch! Yep the flower is Prima but you have to use what you have! The sentiment is from Picture This, the Level I hostess set from the new mini!

Stay SAFE & WARM!

Until next time!

Valentine Box

This cute little box was made by putting 2 Petal card dies together and the top and bottom from the oval frame cut from white. I glued the two flaps together and punched a hole and tied a ribbon to use as a hanger. A small box of Russell Stover fits perfectly! Just a fun little box for actually any occasion!

We are still snowed in; picked up another 2 inches last night and expecting lots more Friday! So we may be in forever. I scrapped all day my grandson's first pictures. He is sooo cute! Anyway great time for stampin' & scrappin' - too cold for anything else. Get inky!

Until next time!

Flower - Heart

The flower was made with 4 heart punches and Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. The stem was stamped and cut out and adhered using dimensionals to make it POP. I cut a 1 3/8" strip of DSP and punched each edge with the heart edge punch, covered it with ribbon and accented it with the 3 little flowers for the 3Flower Punch. The center of the flower was stamped from the Grateful Greetings Stamp set.

Until next time!
