Nancy Ferb Shares Papercrafting

I met the the UPS truck yesterday, bringing my NEW ANNUAL CATALOG!! I'm still excited after 15+ years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!! SOOO MANY wonderful new items - my list is longggg and I haven't even been to Convention yet! Life would be darn BORING without Stampin' Up!!!! If you have EVER thought about being a demonstrator, new catalog time, JUNE 1st, is the best! Let's chat, or email me your questions. Stampin' Up! certainly has enriched my life!

Masculine Week

For the next week, I'm featuring cards for males. NO frills, buttons, or bows! The first card is a fast and simple idea -

These are 1" strips of WELL WOREN Designer Series Papers, a collection of rugged prints. It could not be easier! This is a great one to remember when you need a card in a flash!

These 5/8"Jumbo Brads are PERFECT hardware for male cards. They are big, bold... yet flat for mailing! Come back Monday thru Friday of next week for MORE MASCULINE!!

For Little Boys...

The "I Dig You" stamp set of 8 images is a must for little boy greetings! I posted another from set on May 7th. I stamped the digger with Tempting Turquoise onto the card. I stamped again with Real Red and Soft Suede onto a scrap and cut them out. The "arm" is cut in one piece. Then I glued them onto the card for a bold primary color combo.
The BRADS are a must for the mechanical monster! giggle....

Precious Wedding Memories!

I am SOOO pleased!! Today I received my daughter's wedding album, my first MY DIGITAL STUDIO book! The cover is glossy, the photos crisp, and pages high quality!! I just couldn't be happier with the printing service from Stampin' Up!! I have created and printed MANY greeting cards with MDS! I love this unique way of creating. It has not replaced my rubber stamping, but it has expanded my options. You can get a FREE 30-day Trial of MY DIGITAL STUDIO by clicking Shop Now on the right.

I LOVE UPS!

All my Stampin' Up! orders arrive right on schedule via UPS! What a great company - LOVE BROWN! Now, this is an oldie but a goodie card I made with LOVES OF LOVE Stamp Set that is retiring May 31st.

I modified the standard truck and turned it into a delivery van! Cute, huh?? This is a great guy stamp set, too! Get it before May 31st!!

Happy Dirtday!

I bought this "I Dig You" stamp set thinking of our two young grand-nephews. Well....I got distracted by that great Occasion Mini Catalog and am just getting to the boy cards. Better late, than never! Pennie McCallum's recent grandson card got me going! This is a FUN little set!

The 5/16" Neutral Brads are PERFECT hardware for the big tires! I create a sign for the "Dirtday" greeting! Adding brown sponging creates earth so the truck isn't "floating." Later this week I'll have another boy card so check back. I'm glad you stopped by!!

TOMORROW is the day!! I'll be awake early to order NEW CATALOGS!!! I'm very excited to see Stampin' Up!'s next collection of creative items. I know it will be sensational, because every catalog gets BETTER!! Get ready, the new catalog begins June 1st when you can see it here on my BLOG!

Snappy!

You can tell I designed this card at the same sitting as yessterday's card! LOVE these snappy colors in the "Summer Smooches" Designer Series Papers!!

I used the 1" square, 1 1/4" square, and BoHo Blossoms Punches to create this sweet little greeting!

Clean and Crisp!

Primary colors on white are so clean and crisp...cheerful! These are the "Summer Smooches" Designer Series Papers coming in the next NEW big Catalog June1st!! I CAN'T WAIT!!

These are 1" strips each embellished with a button. Life could not be simpler! This is a great way to use up your scraps, too! ENJOY!

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!

It's FABRIC!

Here is a trick to make the Petite Purse Die projects extra durable!! I attached the Designer Fabric to coordinating Real Red Cardstock with a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet! Just peel and stick, then die cut with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine!

The inside is RED! Give this trick a try! It's simple. Buy your Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets HERE!

The Occasions Mini Catalog ENDS April 30th.

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!
