Go Fly a Kite!

This is a SPRING greeting for sure! This stamp set is called "Send ME Soaring!" If a youthful design for any age.

I added white chalk to the clouds, because I didn't want to stamp on white cardstock and cut out!

Goodbye to a Fav!

Pocket Silhouettes Stamp Set has been a FAV of mine for a longggg time! It's retiring May 31, 2012 and I can highly recommend it for it's great versatility!

Here I paired it with the softness of Beau Chateau Designer Series Papers and Twitterpated buttons!

Twin Tote

This sweet little TWIN TOTE is a snap to create with the Petite Purse Die and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine!!

Die cut two purses at the same time. Assemble the sides.

Place the purses back-to-back and attach the "lids." Cut off the little closure tab.

Punch a circle into the "lids" you just glued together to create a handle. Then embellish! This goes together very quickly! I used the soft BEAU CHATEAU Designer Series Paper and added butterflies made from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. Give this a try for the perfect table favors!

Cased it!

"CASE" means copy-and-share-everything... and I did. I saw this idea by Shoni Matney and LOVED the softness. This is the Bright Blossoms Stamp Set - not so bright. The colors are Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and a pop of Daffodil Delight.

The delicate background is the Netting Stamp.

Faux or fake?

This sweet little number was a Make & Take from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership 2012. The assorted flowers are die cuts from the Occasions Mini Catalog called Blossom Builders. SOOO easy! The layer behind the flowers is simply traced from On Board Merry Medley and then lightly sponged.

The side view shows that the scalloped front flap is fake...or artistically called "faux flap." 

More Fabric Stickers...

In yesterday's post I explained how simple it is to create a FABRIC STICKER. This card features the Summer Smooches Designer Fabric available in the April Special as a Sneak Peek of the 2012-2013 Big Catalog which begins June 1st!

The Fabric Stickers are cut with the Top Note and Blossom Party Dies for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. Try it!!

Fabric Stickers!

I created FABRIC STICKERS with the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets! It's quite easy. Simply peel apart the Adhesive Sheet and spread on the Twitterpated Designer Fabric on the sticky side. Now it can go into the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine!

Next, peel the backing off and place your fabric shape onto your project! TOO FUN!! These flowers are made with the Blossom Party Die. Give this a try and you'll be amazed at how easy it is!

Mouthwatering...

I love the way Stampin' Up!'s products coordinate! This is a perfect example. The Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper has the ice cream cone image that pairs perfectly with the Mouthwatering Stamp Set! Creating simplified.

The Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper also gives you a great color palette to work with!

Cottage Window Card

This "over-the-top design" is a charming window card with valance and flower box, and it was on display at Leadership! This one definitely took my eye! The pretty flowers are from the sweet Bordering On Romance stamp set of 5 images. The pink curtain valance is Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon - yum! Isn't this cottage window a charmer?!

Twining Magic!

This is a picture of a Leadership display sample that shows a unique use for Barker's Twine! The Twine is cleverly glued into a vine design and then embellished with tiny flowers and leaves. Give this a try!

Tea for Three!

This feminine card really has some high "frill factor!" The three elegant tea cups are from Tea Shoppe Stamp Set of ten images. They are paired perfectly with Hello Doily big background stamp which is heat embossed in White Embossing Powder. Precious!

Hey Quilters!

Did you wonder just WHAT to do with the Dresden Designs Die in the Occasions Mini Catalog? Here are two sweet ideas from Leadership displays! I think the butterfly design is particularly unique! These pillows are created with Twitterpated Designer Fabrics and Twitterpated Buttons. LOVELY, CHARMING!

Elegant Bird in flight!

Judy from Rockford, IL sent me this gorgeous bird created from the Elegant Bird Die and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. The bird is Twitterpated Designer Fabric attached with the Big Shot Adhesive Sheets.

This lovely 6"X7" creation arrived in a Twitterpated Designer Series Paper envelope custom-made with the Simply Scored and Diagonal Plate! SOO special!

The card inside is just as inviting! This is a wonderful example of all the Occasions Mini Catalog new Dies for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine! Just a reminder - the Occasions Mini Catalog ENDS April 30th.

Cookie Stamps!

Yep, Stampin' Up! offers Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps in SIX designs! The silicone stamp fits onto a wooden handle and removes for easy clean up. This is GREAT FUN with kids! Cookie Stamps are a creative gift, too! Give them a try!

Punch don't cut!

My friend, Michelle from Rockford, Il sent me this snappy Mixed Bunch card! She used the coordinating Blossom Punch! I love the way Stampin' Up! has designed stamp sets and punches that perfectly coordinate to speed up creating!

Did you notice the Wisteria Barker's Twine over the Wisteria Ruffled Ribbon...clever detail!!
