Stenciled Ornamnet

My new stencil (Decor Elements) came today and I just had to try it out and Stampin' Up Grateful Greetings (another NEW stamp set). I used Mambo Melon because I cut lots of it for a Stamp A Stack and it was the WRONG size so I used it for this project. It's not a WOW card but nice! I like the stencil and stamp set and I can see many more cards in the future LOL.

Thanks for stopping by...

Until next time!

Autumn Splendor

I hate to see Fall/Autumn give way to Winter! I love the colors of the season and it's hard to give them up! Anyway I ran across a card on Carole Ann's blog and had to make one similiar to it. I used Autumn Splendor Stamp Set and Crushed Curry cardstock, Dusty Durango, Garden Green and Kraft. Stamp the leaves and emboss with black embossing powder. Using the Stampin' Up markers, color the leaves with Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango & Garden Green. Save one leaf and cut it out and adhere with dimensionals (Stampin' Up).

My card is quite different but the technique is the same and I LOVE IT! It is a great technique and am sure can be adapted to other stamp sets.




Until next time!

Butterfly lip gloss

Made these for a craft show I'm doing tomorrow. They are quick & easy too. Just cut the butterflies out using the Stampin' Up Big Shot Butterfly die and add the lip gloss with a piece of ribbon. Would have made a good trick or treat thingee using Halloween colors... there is always next year. Good remembrance gift or stocking stuffer!

Until next time!

Inspired by Nature

This card was made by using the Stampin' Up Inspired by Nature stamp set and the Tile Technique (Technique Junkies). I think it turned out really nice. I used Stampin Up markers to color the image, stamp it, cut in sections, distress each piece then glue to a mat! Quick, fun & easy! Try it & get inky!

Until next time!

Trident Gum Holder

The little Stampin' Up Exclusive Die Envelope is perfect for a pack of Trident gum and great little 'Thank You' gift for anyone. Also uses bits and pieces of your left over papers. I just made a belly band and decorated with lots of punch outs. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time!

Challenge Combined

I made this card for the combined challenge 44 at Late Night Stampers & Mary Jo's Lunchtime Sketch Challenge themed MASCULINE! I also wanted to use the new Admit It Stampin' Up Hostess Level II set I just received. The stamps are Autumn Days ( Page 92 - $23.95) and I added the mini-clip for accent (Page 179 Item 109857 - $12.95).
Stampin' Up cardstock - Soft Suede, Crushed Curry & Dusty Durango and I also used a cut-out from the Stampin' Up Designer Paper The Write Stuff Speciality (Pg. 163 - $11.95). Great Masculine Birthday Card or change the sentiment for other occasions!
I know my hubby would love it since he goes pheasant hunting!

Until next time!

Scraps!

I stamped and embossed 'Dasher' (one of the under $10. Stampin' Up sets Page 208) and had him on my table for ages and when I made the thankful accordion fold decoration, I made too many scallop squares so... I added them all to the Real Red Stampin' Up cardstock and Voila' a really great masculine Christmas card. I hope you like it.

The large scallop is the Stampin' Up Scallop Square Die and the other scallops are Nestabilities.



Until next time!
