You Make Me Happy!

Image
Hello! It's been a while since I posted. I am glad to be back. I am posting a card I made for my stamp club recently, it features the Banner punch and Decorative Dots embossing folders both FREE during sale-a-bration. We dry embossed the dots onto the Core'dinations card stock in real red. We could have sanded this down to create a distressed look but I just wanted the look of the textured card stock on this card. I was lucky enough to find that card stock on the SU! clearance rack, woo hoo! Right now I think they still have gumball green available at a great discount. The banners were punched out of the Fresh Prints designer series paper stack (132996, $6.95, 48 sheets), found in the Celebrate the Every Day catalog. Its beautiful paper. Each sheet measures 4-1/2 x 6-1/2.

NEW Stampin' Up! product: Texture Boutique

This product is new to the Stampin' Up! family. It is similar to the bigshot in terms of use but it is only for use with the embossing folders. This is great for someone who may have a Cricut and want the added beauty of embossing. I know we can all agree that everything looks better when it's embossed. Just to be clear, we are talking about dry embossing where you use a plastic folder to leave an imprint on the card stock or paper piece. Wet embossing requires the use of separate embossing powder and slow drying ink. I do a lot of embossing on my cards and projects and this little machine is small enough I can keep it on my desk and quickly emboss whenever I like. YAY! If you have any questions on the product please let me know. Order yours today! Happy Stampin', Tricia

Birthday Starburst card

Image
I just love making this easy card! The starburst really adds an element of fun. we made this card at my last stamp club meeting. This card also features a faux bow using strips of cardstock. I cut 3, 3/4" wide strips of card stock. The longest was the length of my card 5-1/2" x 3/4". The next two were approximately 4-1/2" long. middle piece was flagged at the ends. The next piece I just folded over the ends to meet in the middle. To get a good curve you can wrap the bends around a pencil. I attached that to the flagged piece and wrapped a 1/4" ish x 2" strip around to make the center of the bow. I did have to trim some to make it work. I attached it using a dimentional. I will add a tutorial on the starburst a little later so check back for updates. Supplies: stamp set: curly cute paper: Birthday Basics designer series paper; bermuda bay and whisper white cardstock ink: raspberry ripple accessories: itty bitty punch pack, basic rhinestones and di

Magical Season single stamp

Image
Hello! It's been a while! The past few months have been a whirlwind for me. Unfortunately I have not gotten to stamp and share the way I had hoped to. I am still holding stamp clubs and making cards for friends and family but classes have had to go on the back burner. I am hoping this holiday season give me a jump start at the new year! So, I love all of my SU products and I love to play with new and fresh rubber. I like the single stamps that we sell periodically because it gives me just a taste and I only have to buy the one stamp I love. For the holidays I chose the stamp "Magical Season", the phrase fit my thoughts perfectly. For this card I also used the d esigner paper stacks. These are perfect for making my Christmas cards. I like to make my own and with the stacks I get 24 sheets of one design. The sheets are 4-1/2" x 6" so they are perfect for cutting down to a card front size or using on another project. The fun file folder look is done using the n
