Schools back!!!

My children have offically been in school for a week... And I've found time to get back to my stamping and in the weeks to come want to share alittle bit with my fellow bloggers. This past weekend my mother celebrated a birthday and so I had to come up with a card...



I had fun combining my Stampin Up stamps and alittle non SU for her.... SHe is a lover of many books and my dad gave her a Nook so My sister and I gave her some accessories for it. All in all my stampin mojo is here and I've got a lot of things coming up in the coming months.

Bday card...

I made this card back in June for my dad's 65 bday. And have yet to share so tonight I'll share with you...



I used the stamp from King of The Grill in the summer mini along with the cog punch... The fun part of this card is that the greeting has a secret to it... When you look at the card it looks like a normal gate fold card. Even on the inside..



But if you bend it just right you have another message inside...



Have a great evening and I hope to update another card here soon...

I played...

I've been waiting on my latest Stampin Success mag and a sneak peek of the Holiday mini and neither have showed up here so I took some of my stamps out and played...

I made a swing card and here it is...




I used about three different stamp sets to create this card. I took the fairy from the Summer mini set called A Little Bit of Magic. The sentiments came from a new hostess set in the new Catalog Occasional Quotes and the stamp set Well Scripted. I also took the flower from Fifth Avenue Floral. I had fun with this card and the combination of colors I used...


This is the inside of the card once you pull it opened... The DP is from our SAB paper pad. I still have some of it left...


This last images is of the front once pulled open... I had fun coloring. I'll be back tomorrow with a card I made back in June for my Dad's Birthday.

Set of Note Cards...

My Husband has been after me for over a year to make him a set of notecards to mail out to the families that he is responsible for in our Church... Well I finally sat down and made a set. He now has to find time to make these out to his families that he has this year.

I enjoyed making this set too. I got to do my favorite thing and that is color. The stamp set I used is out of Stampin Up!'s Occasions Mini. And it is one of their first clear mount sets. I love the block they designed to use with the clear mounts. I gave all of my old ones to my mom and bought the set from SU. The designer paper I've used is from the sellabration mini which ends this month so if you want to play with that paper you better get it quick. I'm feeling a little better now because I'm back to stamping after such a long break. I hope everyone is having a great start to March... See you again soon.

Stampin Up! Clear mount stamps!!

I've tried these and love them...

Stitching....

Yeah me and my sewing machine have been at it alittle bit the past few months and I thought I'd add it to a card today... along with some of Stampin Up's stitched felt flowers and their kisses too.



I was give a pack of these stitched flower from the occasions mini when I became certified to use the digital studio. And guess what? I have not touched one until today... Now I think I need to play with them alittle more. Look at how pretty they make this card...
I love the stitching they use on each piece. And I just had to stitch around my background piece too... The kisses are so cute and so fun to add to cards, I really hope they plan on them making it to the new catty in July. If not I know the next couple of months I'll be placing a few of these on order... All supplies used on my card can be found in either the occasions mini or SAB mini... Have a great day.

Been a really long time...

I know but I took a break and have been working at it again and so for today thought I would share a quick and simple card....



I used one of Stampi Up!'s new embosslits die: Beautiful Wings to create all those wonderful butterflies... I so love this tool and my Big Shot too. I grabbed the stamp from my Baroque Motifs and I thought the card was complete.

I'll try and get back to posting regularly and being a better blogger.. have a great saturday night...

Where have you been....

Where have I been? I've been skipping around the net and getting my kids off to school and playing with Stampin Up!'s My Digital Studio. Plus healing from my surgery back in september. But enough I have been too quiet and thought I share a few projects I've been playing with using the program...

First of all I had to of course make a scrapbook page of my family and our Halloween adventures...


All images are Stampin Up!

I had fun with this program and I know it will be fun for you too. I also had fun making cards with the program as well...

Changes...

Changes are coming and yes I'll be posting more projects soon... I thought I would share with you a video SU has posted on their new product which will be availible on Oct 1.....

Happy 90th Nannie...

This past weekend we ran to Florida again to help celebrate my Husband's grandmother's 90th birthday....

Of course I had to make a card for her..



I decided to use one of the newest images I had on hand from Whiff of Joy and some of Stampin Up!'s designer paper. And why not tie in a new cuttle bug die and embossing folder along with everything else.

I had fun coloring her in with my copics and trying my best to stick to the same color scheme the entire project... hope everyone has had a great weekend and gotten through Monday... I can't wait til Friday all ready but then it's back to school for my kids next week..

A note of Thanks..

I had a chance to play with some of my stamps tonight and just by chance I made this card using a preview set from Stampin Up!'s holiday mini that is coming out next month. The cute thing about this set is it is made to use your punches and create a card with a treat inside but I decided to use it without the treat cups....

I still used my punches but had fun creating the balloon shape.. This is a fun set and I'm gonna get plenty of use out of it. And don't forget this stamp is not available until September.....

Stamps: Sweet Centers(holiday mini), upsy daisy
ink: chocolate chip, stazon black
cardstock: so saffron, brocade blue, basic black, whisper white, bella bleu designer paper
accessories: rhinestone stickers, SU marker brocade blue

Rainy day play

I was able to get some time in today and play with my neglected stamps. So I grabbed one of my new stamps that my secret sister Jami sent me... I love the two Whiff of Joy stamps she sent me. She was such a generous sister. Now on to my creation...



She looks like she a sweet little girl. I colored her in with my copics of course and decided to use my Big Shot and the top Note die to frame her.
I even took my white gel pen to her dress to help make the flower print stand out. I know the perfect person to send this too to.. Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far..
