This was the April Stamp Camp! I used two coasters and covered them in Flowers for you paper. I coordinated Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant card stock. I also used Old Olive and Certainly Celery ribbon in the 1'' jump ring. The stamp set wording "Cherish" was from Baroque Motifs. I inked the edges in Old Olive, and finished it with two brads and a chip board heart.

Really- The two little girls are my favorite part!

The Stamp set used are Priceless for the background and the wording is Wonderful Words. I punched out "Love" with the Small oval punch, inked it with Versa Mark and rolled the edge in Iridescent Ice and Embossed.

I used the Pretty in Pink for the card. I used Old Olive as the green background paper. The two Stamp sets used are Priceless, and Wonderful Words. I used Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Close to Coco for the background and the words. The card is closed with the slit punch. The card is edged in Old Olive.

This is one of three Stamp Camp Cards. I used Close to Coco paper and Chocolate Chip Ink and Grosgrain ribbon. I used Pretty in Pink For the Scallop Punch Paper. The stamp set that was used is Priceless for the center flower and the background flower on the top. The center of the flower was double stamped in Close to Coco and Pretty in Pink, I punched it out of the Close to Coco one with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. The center was punched with the 1/16'' punch then mounted. On the Scalloped pink flower each petal was punched with the 1/16'' punch. The "Celebrate" phrase is Wonderful Words. The edges are inked in Close to Coco.

Valentine's Love

I was so inspired by my fellow Philly Inker Melissa- that I used Loads of Love and made nine cards, so far for Valentines Day. They are all different, some embossed, some have brads, some have Crystal Effects, some have ribbon, some have it all!!

I have been inspired by the catalog- so I made place "cards" for my craft night on Saturday. I used standard clips from Staples, modge podge, scrapbook paper- my fav the Scallop punch and the circle punch. I couldn't get a clear image- but I you get the idea. My guests loved it, very personal. I am going to make these for

my daughters favors, for the school birthday craft!

Christmas Craft

2007-12-29T05:20:00.001-08:00

This is a craft project that I did with a 1st grade class. I cut the square in the coaster. I then cut the Stampin Up! Dashing paper to fit. I adhered the transparency to the back side of the opening. I punched two 1/8'' circle holes in the front coaster as well as the back. The children then pasted on their picture and with the help of five adults threaded the Real Red ribbon through the frames and glued them together. The star punch was glued on at the end. (Also Stampin Up! but retired) They signed and dated the back.
Hmmm- the craft seemed simple.
My lesson, remember the audience.

Christmas Card

2007-12-13T07:42:00.000-08:00

This is one of the Christmas Cards for this yr. This was done with SU stamp set Perfect Presentation. I used Bravo Burgundy and Certainly Celery for the card stock.

2007-10-28T18:00:00.000-07:00

This is my Halloween card this year. I used Only Orange for the card. I used the Creepy Crawly paper for the two strips. I used the Scallop Circle punch and the 1 3/8ths circle punch then embossed the stamp image from the Booglie Eyes stamps set. I colored it with blender pens and the Basic Black stamp pad. I also used versa mark on the background image.

This is the Treat Bag that I made for Lainey's class this year.

2007-10-28T17:24:00.000-07:00

This is the make-n-take that I did at my Open House! I used the Festive Favorites stamp set. Bravo Burgundy card stock and a Versa mark stamp pad to stamp the back ground. I used black embossing powder on the tree image. I used blender pens and Old Olive to color the trees. I used Summer Sun to color the stars and Creamy Caramel to color the tree trunks. The accent green is Certainly Celery for the card stock and ribbon. I used the Horizontal Slot punch to attach the ribbon. I tried to pick two colors that you wouldn't necessarily pick for Christmas cards.

Happy Halloween!
These are Halloween invitations I made. I used the Booglie Eyes stamp set. I stamped the spider in Versa Mark, and embossed the spider in black. I punched the spider design with the 1 3/8 " circle punch. I also stamped the background of the card with the spider stamp in versa mark. I used a blender pen and the classic black stamp pad to shade in the spider. I used the flower punch to cut the black flower. I pierced each one of the scalloped edges. I cut a square approx. 2 ½ by 4 and ripped the edges in white card stock. I inked the edges in Chocolate Chip. I faux stitched approx. a 1/4 inch edge in from the tear. I then wrapped the white card in sewing thread. I attached black grosgrain ribbon to the edge with a silver brad to label "ghouls night out". I printed the inside invitation and attached corners.

This is a fall card I had done last yr. I used Close to Coco, and Chocolate Chip to add the background.
I then used a cream colored piece of paper and stamped the center leaf image. I secured a piece of vellum over the center image with two brads.

This a beautiful card done by my Mom. We have worked together on crafts since I was little. There are always times when you work gets old, the cards are uninspired and it just isn't working. Her and I do many projects together- and find it's nice to be able to tell someone your honest opinion and know that you can get it back!

The heart was embossed in silver on pink paper. It was then layered on two other squares of paper each just slightly bigger. It was attached off center, and embellished with a coil and pink ribbon. The card itself was green. The bottom of the card was torn.

What a great card!

Hmm, lets see. This card a birthday card. The sail boats are Stampin' Up and embossed in black. Then using the blender pen and Night of Navy I shaded them in. The edges were also embossed slightly. The were layer on to two different patterned papers.

This is the same stamp done on a giant tag. I love tags and this one is done in pinks and greens. The bear is stamped in Close to Coco and Chocolate Chip. I used a blender pen to give the bear his "fur". The cake was embossed in black then filled in with a blender pen.

2007-10-06T14:47:00.000-07:00

This is a card I had done for Kyleigh's birthday last year. The best part about the bear was that the arm and leg both moved! This is a Stampin' Up bear set.

Hooray!! The box came! I was not the only one that had plans for the Stampin Up supplies. My oldest two daughters needed a project as soon as the box was open. We took the packing paper that came with the supply box and made wrapping paper! My oldest daughter Lainey has a birthday party tomorrow, so we are coordinating the wrapping paper stamps "Teeny Tinies" and two different inks, "rose red" and "real red." I love recycling and finding ways to teach the kids it is fun. The card will match the paper- will post that later...
