Embellishments

Oh, Hello!  My blog is back in business.  I haven’t been able to post recently because my blog has been down.  I couldn’t log into it to update but all is well now.   I saw this card on Pinterest a while ago and have been wanting to CASE (copy and steal everything) it for some time.  I finally made it and now we’re making it in classes this week.

My two favorite parts of this card are the Delicate Details Lace Tape and the 5/8″ Flower Trim.  I love the fact that you can color the Flower Trim.  You can either highlight the edges with your marker like I did on this card or you can actually dye the flowers in a mixture of water and re-inker.  How fun is that? 😀  The doily really adds a lot to the card too.  So many fun embellishments and they’re all from the Spring Catalog!

Yesterday I registered for the Stampin’ Up! Convention to be held in July!  Woo Hoo!  I can’t wait!  It should be a lot of fun because this year is their 25th Anniversary.  Did I say Woo Hoo yet?  Convention is one the great parts of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  Did you know that now until May 30th you can receive an extra $30 of product in your Starter Kit if you sign up to be a demonstrator.  What a deal!  $150 worth of product for only $99!  Wow!  Let me know if you’d like more information on this GREAT opportunity!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

We’re down to the wire….”What Can You Do With A Circle?” month is almost over.  Have you enjoyed it?  I sure hope so!  It’s been fun putting it all together for you.

I CASEd this card from my upline Tara.  She’s the BEST!  Always willing to help you out.  Isn’t this a fun card?  I used the Delicate Details Lace Tape from the Spring Catalog.  I punched out 1/2″ circles (see, I used circles!) and stuck them to the back side of the lace tape which is sticky on the back.  When I adhered the tape to the card I did use a little bit of adhesive on the back of each colored circle.

Another simple and fun card!  Why don’t you give it a try?  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s a big birthday day.  I know at least 3 people celebrating today and my baby’s birthday (age 20 now) was yesterday!  I felt we were in need of a birthday card for today’s post.

I used the new image from the “Best of Birthdays” stamp set.  It’s a fun image.  Have you used it yet?  How about the doilies from the Spring Catalog?  Have you tried them?  I’ve been working with them a little bit.  They’re not quite my style but it’s fun trying to incorporate them into a card or project.  Did you notice that the doily is actually a circle? 🙂

Well, hopefully our little blizzard will let up soon.  I need to go pick up a pie for birthday celebrations.  My son’s birthday was yesterday, his girlfriend’s birthday was last Saturday and my other son’s fiance’s birthday is this coming Tuesday!   We have plans to go out to dinner tonight so we’re hoping the weather will cooperate.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Happy Turkey Day!  I’m excited about a day filled with family, friends and football!  Ooo…that reminds me that I need to check my Fantasy Football Team before the games start!  😉  Anyway…back to giving thanks!  I am so thankful for…everthing!  I am truely blessed and for this I give thanks.

Isn’t this little turkey adorable?  We’re back to that darn owl punch!  Oh, the things you can do with it!  The turkey feathers are made with the paper daisies.  I used two colors of ink on each daisy for a little dimension. TSC!  Too Stinkin’ Cute!

Well, it’s off to have a little breakfast and start making the stuffing.  I already have everything chopped up so it shouldn’t take too long.  Of course, then I have to start thinking about peeling 10-15 pounds of potatoes! Yikes!   Have a wonderful holiday wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.  My company doesn’t come until 3 pm so if I have a chance I’ll come back and show you the cute treat holders I made for everyone and my candle holders.

Take care and have a safe, happy and wonderful Thanksgiving!
