2019 Refrigerator Calendar

We will be making our 2019 Refrigerator Calendar at two dates in August (to be announced). These are pics of the first six months. Tomorrow will post the last six months.

I think it turned out nice. My ladies love making them for gifts. These pictured fit a 3.5" x 5" plastic frame. Sometimes we add a mat on the back to make them fit a 4 x 6 plastic frame (Walmart of the $ Tree)

We can also make a box to hold the other eleven months neatly! Hope you like these and would love to hear from you!

Until next time!

Note Card

This is some older Stampin Up Designer Paper I found the 'parts' on my desk and decided to make the card (finally). Card Base is Pear Pizzazz with a whisper white mat. The Delightfully Detailed Laser cut (NEW) is adhered on top of the designer paper.

I love this laser cut. On the top I added 3 butterflies and accented them with rhinestones. The colors a so cheery!

Until next time!

Hello Friend,

I made this neat little card quickly using the new Delightfully Detailed Laser Cuts! I stamped the whisper white background using the marble background stamp. Then I lightly stamped over that using Garden Green with a hint of Night of Navy.

The mat is Garden Green but the card base if the old, old Green Galore which matched perfectly so why not?

The laser cuts are a must have. You get eight sheets of which 4 can be cut for card fronts and the other four are full sheets in case you want to use them on a Scrapbook page (12x12).

Until next time!

Chillin'

We'll be making these two pages Friday, June 1 for our Scrapbooking 101! Cool Treats is the theme and these pages can be used for summer activities, birthday, special occasion.

Plenty of room for lots of pictures and some journaling. Hope you like it. I love the colors are so bright and cheery! And with all the rain we have had we need bright and cheery!

Until next time!

Amazing Miss Josie

Miss Josie's dance recital at Caterpillar Club House. They all did an amazing job.

The mats are silver but the scan shows up black. I am so proud of her. She's growing up too fast.

Until next time!

Noah's Ark

I made these pages for a friend of mine. Hope she likes them.

I used some papers I had for a while and it worked out very well. Enjoy!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and stay dry.

Until next time!

Shopping Diva

Miss Josie at the Fresh Market. I just love those little carts they have for kids! I bet she loves shopping...

She looks like she knows what she's doing! Printed paper is SU retired but the page is Always Artichoke and the words - Blackberry Bliss that Stampin Up is bringing back.

Until next time!

Miss Scarlett

This was Miss Scarlett's first dance recital. She was the youngest in the group. She did super good.

I just wish her dad had been there to see her! He would have been so proud. I hope/pray he was watching over her from heaven. It was a beautiful performance.

Until next time!

Mix N Mingle Day

Today is our Mix N Mingle Day. We get get together and look over the new catalog. You can bring a project you are working on, pick up any orders, your new catalog and we can see some of the new products!

This card show cases the new Graceful Glass Vellum colored with Blends! The card base if the NEW InColor Pineapple Punch and matted with Old Olive. The Graceful Glass Vellum is so easy to color and makes beautiful 'stained' glass affect.  If you look closely the card (Old Olive) is embossed in both corners with the Garden Scene Framelits which only embosses and does not cut.

Until next time!

Complete CASE

The card on the left is a card my dear friend, Nancy K sent me for Mother's Day. The one on the right is the one I CASE'd using just papers. The mountains on the first card is a wood cutout which came in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

I used papers to cut the mountains and I embossed the mat with the Cloud Embossing Folder and the other card was stamped with clouds. I love the design and want to thank you, Nancy for this card.

Until next time!

Any Occasion...

My cyber friend sent me a card very similar to this one and I had to CASE it. It will be one of our Stamp A Stack cards in June!

Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper is the face of this card. Whisper White the base and I added a layer of Peek A Boo Peach for the saying. The butterfly was punched and rhinestones added. I did add 3 acrylic embellishments.

Great Birthday card, Sympathy card, Friendship card - etc. leaving enough room on the inside for a hand-written note.

Until next time!

Masculine any occasion!

This card can be almost for any sentiment or occasion. The Night of Navy card stock is the base with a Tranquil Tide mat. then another mat for the theme is Very Vanilla.

I cut the boots from the set Country Livin'. The boots were colored lightly with the new Colored Pencils by Stampin Up. They are a real improvement over the ones that retired several years ago.

I rolled up a bit of twine to look like a rope hanging onto the boot. A few brads and some washi tape accented for the finishing touches.

Until next time!

Happy Birthday

Great masculine card for birthdays, get well, thinking of you, etc. The base is Marina Mist (retiring) and the mat is Early Expresso with a Very Vanilla mat for stamping. I used Soft Sky stamped with Hardwood for a neat background.

I used Timeless Textures to stamps the background using the Marina Mist and Early Expresso Inks. The sentiment is Early Expresso HB Framelit. This will be one of our June Stamp A Stack cards just in time for Father's Day too!

Anyone would love receiving this card.

Until next time!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby

Tomorrow is Harry's birthday and I made him this John Wayne card since he is 'crazy' about Westerns.

This was inspired (more than you'll realize) by my NC Cyber friend, Regina! I know he will love it. I do think we have stopped all birthdays.

Until next time!

Happy Retirement

I saw a similar card on Pinterest and it was so cute, had to CASE it. I used Tip Top Taupe for the base with Very Vanilla inside. There is plenty of room for a sentiment or personal note.

The chair is Soft Suede from the Colorful Seasons collection. The leaves are from the same set of Framelits. The oval is the second largest Stitched Ovals with a tree stamped on the inside.

Until next time!

Double Z-Fold Card

Great masculine card for birthday, retirement, father's day - many possibilities.

I used retiring paper and stamps but that's ok too. I lined an envelope to match. This card was inspired by  my cyber friend, Regina! What a great card idea.

Until next time! Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'

Guitar Wishes

This was made using the guitar from a Sale A Bration set that of course has retired. The Just a Note is from a 2001 stamp set but still comes in handy.

The base is 4.25 x 5.50 Tip Top Taupe (retired) and the card is cut 4 x 10.5 and folded in the middle and attached to the Taupe Base. I ran it thru the Embossing Folder and I think it was water instead of tree bark but looks ok anyway. I added the laser cut leaves for accent.

Until next time!

Serene Garden (Sneak Peek)

I received my pre-order and LOVE all the new colors and stamp pads. I made this card with the new Pineapple Punch Cardstock for the base of the card. I cut the frames using the new Garden Impression Paper Stack - beautiful designs.

The stamp set Serene Garden was the theme and stamped with Tranquil Tide. I used the left over piece of designer paper to cover the envelope flap. I was a bit worried about doing that until I mailed one and it went just fine! The new catalog is marvelous and some great new sets AND Framelits!

Until next time!

Any Occasion Card

I love pansies and I made these using the retired flower punch. The base is Very Vanilla with a strip of Fresh Fig embossed with Falling Leaves Emb Folder.

I colored the faceting centers with one of the new Stampin Up Blends (alcohol ink). Hope you all have a blessed day and stamp a little! BTW the sentiment is from Thoughtful Banners.

Until next time!

Disney World

Seems like everyone misses the 7 Dwarfs - You know they were created in 1935! Anywho... don't you just love the Jolee stickers for the little guys? (My friend re-purposed them to me - thank you!)

Yes I know that Heigh-Ho is spelled wrong but that's all the letters I had!

Until next time!

Challenge

Here’s my contribution to the challenge! Hope this inspires you to take this challenge and post so we can see your talents. It's all Just For Fun! I used a etching technique on the flower and fussy cut for the card. The base is Whisper White with a Basic Black Mat; Vellum mat and printed b&w mat!

Regina Andaria

My cyber friend posts a challenge every Monday. I thought I would share these designs with you for ideas of your own! If you make a card using this layout, please post it to me and I will share with the group. Have a great day!

Until next time!

Gable Box

I used a Silhouette pattern to cut this neat little gable box from the new Love What You Do Designer Paper. The papers are sturdy enough for boxes or cards. It took an 8 x 12 sheet to cut this little box.

I love this paper. It has a sheen to it on the flowers you can't tell in the scan. Hope you like it and it makes a perfect gift box.

Until next time!

Punchie

Someone (can't remember who) posted these little critters made from the Fox Builder Punch. We are going to make these at the next Punchie class (Thursday, May 10).

I made these yesterday. They are not really hard but I will admit, time-consuming. You can use these on Scrapbook Pages, Cards, etc.

Until next time!

Miss Scarlett

Saturday night is her recital and can't wait to see those little ones dance. She really gets into it and is so cute.

She too is growing too fast! I know her dad would have been so proud of her.

Until next time!
