Here are a couple more dresses for you to enjoy with the Dress Up Framelit Dies. (I shared three others yesterday, however, the post went up late so some of you may have missed it.) Aren't they so cute? Does the one on the right make you think of pulling out a sundress? Too bad the weather outside (at least here in PA) isn't the least bit cooperative with the thought. It's 19 degrees as I type. Brr! This one looks like a little ballerina dress, don't you think? I used one of our doilies to create the skirt the the top from one of the dress dies. Of course the dress form is a die Continue reading
All Dressed Up with Stampin’ Up!
Yesterday I took some time to play with the All Dressed Up Framelit Dies. These dies are so incredibly fun! This is just three of the dresses I made, altogether I made at least 11 different styles yesterday. I'm sure I'll be sharing more with you over time. I was looking forward to sharing these dresses at the Mystery Hostess Event yesterday, unfortunately, I had sick family members and I need to reschedule the party. I will post the make up date soon! I have one dress project I really want to share with you but I'm going to wait. I want to show it in person at some events Continue reading
Another Watercolor Winter Card
I thought you might like to see another card using the Watercolor Winter stamp set. The card yesterday showed this same stamp with the holly but this time I used the second stamp for two-step stamping. I love two-step stamping! We made this card at the last Christmas Card Class. I think it's beautiful! We did use up a little Cherry Cobbler ribbon I had left from last year but I'm sure you could use the Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon. We have a Christmas Card on Thursday, October 4, this week. (Can you believe it's October already?!) There are still spots open so please Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Primrose Petals Petite purse
I love this little purse made with the Petite Purse die! I used our new Primrose Petals cardstock rolled with our new Betsy's Blooms standard wheel in Primrose Petals ink. I adorned the front with one of our new Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and some Baker's Twine. So cute and so very simple to make! Wouldn't this be a cute favor for any girly event? If you would like to see any of the items use to make this project, simply click on the link and you will see a picture from my online store. Have you considered hosting a Stampin' Up! party with the new Idea Book & Catalog? Continue reading
Pink Pirouette Petite Purse
I've been having fun with the new little Petite Purse Die! Don't you think these would make perfect baby shower favors? I think they would be so incredibly cute at a shower where the baby onesie cards are used for the invitations! Don't you agree? You will not find the Petite Purse Die in any of our catalogs right now, but you can find it as part of our Summer Smooches Product Line which is available for purchase during the month of April. After that, the die will be available in the next Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog which comes out on June 1. Here are a dozen I made with Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Style Matchbox
We had so much fun at the Big Shot Fun classes yesterday! W really had fun learning some "extra" ways to use the framelit dies outside of the ordinary. As I was planning the last project for the day, with the Matchbox Die, I realized I hadn't incorporated the doily die and of course I needed to! Can you see it in this picture? We used the doily peeking out from the little heart framelits! Tying up the box with some bakers twine and a twitterpated button makes it lots of fun! I hope you like the little box! We sure had fun making them! Thank you for stopping by to visit Continue reading
Outlined Occasions Birthday Card
I thought you might like to see another card I made to showcase one of the techniques we learned in the Stewartstown Stamping Techniques club. We learned how to make the fun background you see here! I had to pull out one of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets for this card, the Outlined occasions stamp set! This fun set fit the bill perfectly! I really do need to find some more time to play with this whimsical stamp set! As you can imagine, I have been busy making valentines for my children to take to church and school for their friends. The wonderful new Continue reading
A Big Shot for Shrewsbury Christian Academy
If you have a Big Shot, you know how easy it is to cut out shapes for your crafts. Just think out helpful it would be for school teachers as they prepare their classroom and lessons and projects! Many public schools have a die cutting system the teachers have access to and I can tell you from personal experience how helpful it is! I am working in conjunction with Shrewsbury Christian Academy of New Freedom, PA (the private school my children attend) to raise funds for a Big Shot and dies the teachers can use. This wonderful die cutting machine, and the dies we would like to purchase, Continue reading
Handmade Card with Sale-A-Bration DSP
This is a simple card similar to the ones I made this for four of my downline members who had the top sales for the team during the month of December. The card uses paper and ribbon which will be available for free during Sale-A-Bration which begins on January 24. When I used the new Adorning Accents Edgelit die to cut the Everyday Enchantment DSP for the front of the card, a little decorative strip was left. I thought rather than waste the little strip, I would put it on the inside of the card as you see here. I think it's a cute little touch! Have you given any thought to Continue reading
Additional StampThat Studio Additions
This may not seem like much to you, but I spent quite a bit of time working on this set of shelves today. I wish I had thought to take a "before" picture! I went through every bit of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper I have and sorted and organized - doesn't it look lovely! I thought I'd better record this moment, I'm sure the shelves won't stay like this for long! Part of the process was weeding out all the retired DSP. Those who visit the studio will find the cello packs of DSP in the Dollar Deals. There are a good number there to choose from! Here's an addition. These are Continue reading
Petal Cone Christmas Gifts
I had a couple extra cones left from stamping with the 2nd graders the other day (my samples) and I didn't want to waste them. So, I decided to dress them up a little more and turn them into gifts! I added some scalloped half-circles that are textured with the Snow Burst embossing folder. Then I used some Very Vanilla 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon to hold on a tag stamped from the Tags til Christmas stamp set. It's simple but with some chocolates inside, they make a fun little gift for a friend! It's hard to believe my youngest turns 4 today! Happy Birthday to Ethan! Continue reading
Flower Folds Pillow Decor
After 9 years of marriage my husband and I are getting our first new bed and mattress! Back when I was expecting Jaan (now 5 1/2) I made a comforter for on our bed and now yesterday I finally decided to get out the sewing machine and sew some shams and a decorative pillow for match. Silly me, I really don't like sewing. The fun part of making the pillow was putting this lovely together for it. Let me just say, making this flower took a mere fraction or the time it took to make the pillow! With the Flower Folds Big Shot die all the layers of this flower were cut out in just one pass Continue reading
