Fall Leaf Wreath Class
My middle son says our fall wreath is "really pretty". I would have to agree! I love the way it turned out! I already have mine decorating the inside of the main door of our house and I've started making a second. Would you like to see it?! Continue reading
To Do Stampin' Up! Decor
I've been doing some more work on my special decor project. I put this chalkboard To Do Decor Element onto a magnetic whiteboard. Makes it kind of multipurpose don't you think? The whiteboard came with some ugly magnets that really didn't match the overall effect. I used the Scallop Circle #2 Big Shot die to cut some of the Timeless Portrait Fabric into small scallop circles. I wrapped the fabric around the ugly magnets and then used a small little rubberband (meant for hair) to hold the fabric in place. Don't you love these new little magnets? I can't wait to show you the finished Continue reading
Chalkboard Organization – Decor Elements
This is a little sneak peek at a project I'm working on. It's liable to take me a little while before I'm able to get back to it and get it finished but I thought I'd give you this little peek. I've been wanting to do this for a while but as with everything it takes time to get to those little "extra" projects. These are some of the Chalkboard Decor Elements with white vinyl overlays. You can find them in the back of the Idea Book & Catalog on page 230. As I look there myself while typing this, it looks like the Top Note shape blackboard retired with the last catalog but the To Do Continue reading
Established Decor Elements Projects
Last night we had fun at the Established class. Nobody wanted to show their face for the pictures I took of their lovely projects. . . I just love this tray! Why didn't I think of a tray? It's so fun! The creator of this frame (can you guess who?) decided to go a step farther with hers and she added three words from the Inspiration Decor Elements. What a fun idea! You ladies are so creative! Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us! I will post mine at a later date, once it's actually hung on the wall. Have a wonderful Tuesday! Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Styled Bathroom
I didn't do a very good job of posting on the blog while away for the wedding this weekend did I? You know what I found? When I go off to another state and forget to take pictures of my stamping projects before leaving . . . . it's awfully hard to share them you! That, along with an incredibly busy weekend . . . You'll be happy to know I did get right to work within a couple hours of arriving home though. The Decor Elements arrived while I was gone and I wanted to get that bathroom finished! Are you ready to see it? I added the Flutter Decor Elements from Stampin' Up! to the wall! Continue reading
I Spy – Stampin' Up! Style
One of the things we like to do in our house is playing I Spy! We love to look for hidden items, especially when there is a timer ticking down! Some of you have probably noticed that I haven't been replying to your emails quite a fast as usual this week. That's because I've been busy painting and decorating the boys bathroom! (By the way, hopefully I have now replied to all emails.) So, all that to say . . . it's time to have you all play a little I Spy! I spy something Stampin' Up! in the above picture. Can you find it? This is a hard one! The rest won't be quite as hard. Did you Continue reading
Decorating Trays in the StampThat Classroom
Yesterday I shared this picture with you. These are some trays I bought recently at a big box store really close to my house. I really enjoy trying to look like I'm organized. Note, I did not say that I am, just that I try to look that way! Anyway, I liked these trays and they fit perfectly on a shelf I have in the StampThat! classroom. They sure are plain though aren't they? Let's see what can be done about that . . . Here we go! I used the Definitely Decorative Lattice Decor Elements in black on the trays! These elements only cost $4.95 each and they do so much to for these Continue reading
Flourishes Decor Element Storage
I recently bought some file storage boxes. They're nice boxes but kind of on the plain side so I decided to to buy the Decor Elements Flourishes in black. Let's see what that does to the box. . . Here we are, what do you think? Within just a few minutes this is what I now have! Pretty neat aren't they? I like the fact that these flourishes match the Baroque Motifs stamp set, and more specifically, the swirly in the stamp set. These lovely boxes grace the StampThat classroom so you are likely to see them again when you come for a class! I look forward to the Big Shot Magic class Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Decor Elements
Have you taken notice of the Decor Elements offered by Stampin' Up!? These are vinyl wall rub ons that you can stick to your walls, mirrors, windows . . . . I've heard of them being used on so many different surfaces! I love this definition of create that we offer. This is actually a picture of the vinyl, on my wall, which I put up this past week. It seemed very appropriate to place on the wall of the StampThat classroom! I hope you will stop by to see it! Here's a little information about our Decor Elements. They are easy to stick whether it be to a wall or other objects. When you Continue reading
Another Medallion & En Francais Card
The creation of this card began with a piece of cardstock which I had stamped on for another card and then put off to the side because it wasn't quite right. It seemed a shame to waste the piece of cardstock so I sat down to find a way to use it. I used a lot of different stamps and accessories on this card. It is probably hard to see but I used the Medallion stamp below the flower. It is very faint because I sponged ink onto the stamp and then stamped it onto the cardstock. I also used the En Fraincaise and Baroque Motifs stamp sets. The image in the lower left corner is from the Continue reading
Clear Stampin' Up! Decor Elements on a Mirror
We're going to take a field trip today. It may not be the most exciting destination, it's the powder room in my house. I received a box last week with supplies and stamping supplies for payment to make some cards for Sherrill Graff, a fellow demo. One of the items I picked out was the Stampin' Up! Decor Elements Flourishes. Taking these pictures wasn't the easiest thing to do. I didn't really want to take a picture of myself taking a picture so you get to see it at an angle. I chose to purchase the Flourishes elements in clear. It works great on mirrors or other glass objects giving Continue reading
