2011-11-17T21:57:00.002-06:00

Just a simple card. The stamp set is SU coast to coast. Colours are night of navy DSP, cajun craze and bravo burgundy. Some ribbon and a paper clip to polish it off.

St Paddy's is comin.

2011-03-06T13:08:00.002-06:00

I love the different holidays, I cased this card off of splitcoaststampers. Not alot of deets as it's been awhile since I blogged. The stamp in the middle of the clover is from SU. To make the clover I just used the large heart punch from Stampin Up. Punched out 3 hearts from green DP and voila, a clover.

Lovin the sparkles

2011-03-04T19:45:00.004-06:00

Hmmm....do you think I just came across my stash of sparkly paper. Base of the card is basic black, aqua blue sparkly paper, silver foil paper for mat behind Motorcycle. I embossed the motorcycle in black and sponged in some tempting turquoise.

Scawy card

2011-03-04T19:39:00.002-06:00

Long time, no see, random card I made, just wanted to put up something new. Think the stamp set is You Rock by SU. Some sparkly blue paper, whisper white card base. Silver ribbon. I used SU's small star punch to punch the eyes out of the sparkly blue paper.

Pick your poison

2010-10-07T18:56:00.003-06:00

Cute little hand sanitizer holders, I used the 3 pack of hand sanitizers that you can buy for a dollar at dollorama or most great Canadian dollar stores, I don't have a bath and beauty store or whatever it is called that the person in the tutorial used in my city, on the positive, just use the largest oval punch, you don't have to do the fanagleing like the tutorial-no disrespect intended. I think I might wrap some matching Halloween DSP around the hand sanitizer bottle.

Colours used are old olive, basic black, pumpkin pie, the DSP is SU ????it's from last year and the year before

Tutorial can be found here

Spooky witch

2010-09-21T09:34:00.006-06:00

Just a quick, simple Halloween card that I made. nothing to write home about.

it's a joy fold card, which you can find the tutorial for here

The card bases are basic black and pumpkin pie, the orange polka dotted DSP is from Micheals, the orange and black DSP is from SU's last year Halloween paper. I matted with old olive. I found this stamp set "all hallows eve" which I am in love with, the witch comes from that set. Topped it off with a paper clip and some black ribbon.

Birthday Princess

2010-09-14T16:21:00.004-06:00

Here's a type of card I normally don't do, girly, girl. I'm quite happy with it though. Sometimes it's nice to step outside the box. Thought I would try out the paper piecing, I love it. I think it depends on the image you are piecing with.

Th's stamp is from Hampton arts and it's called Birthday Princess. Used silver and red stickles on the image. The DSP is "sending love??" from SU, image is matted on real red, card base is pretty in pink.

Punched out a few flowers, threw some bling in the middle and you have a princess card.

Tri Shutter cards

2010-08-31T18:45:00.005-06:00

Guess what new tutorial I just tried? the "Tri Shutter". I can't find the actual tutorial that I used but here is one on SplitcoastStampers. If I do find the one I used I will change the link.

All supplies used are SU unless noted (or I forget)

The cherry card's base is Certainly celery, the DSP is Rock a billy, I stamped the cherries from Tart n Tangy with heat and stick powder and then used MS glitter, matted on real red.

Card box

2010-08-28T10:11:00.006-06:00

I don't normally post 2 in a day but I lost the instructions for this card holder and just came across them so I am going to post so I can give you the link . This is a perfect little gift to give someone filled with cards. That is where this one is going. It is filled with Halloween cards.

The box was made with old olive card stock, the DSP is last year's Cast a spell by SU. I used the scallop trim border with basic black card stock. The bat is from SU's Batty for you. The tutorial can be found here

Halloween Easel Card

2010-08-28T09:08:00.007-06:00

Yes, more Halloween. I am sure I will get sick of is soon and will stop making Halloween for a bit. This is called an Easel card, I finally made one and am love with them.

All supplies used are SU unless noted.

The base of the card is old olive card stock, followed by a mat of elegant eggplant and then the DSP is from last year called Cast a spell.

I stamped the BOO from the Best Fiends stamp set in basic black on pumpkin pie, punched out with circle punch, then layered over Cast a spell, basic black, elegant eggplant. My sister was kind enough to give me some orange ribbon.

The tutorial for the Easel card can be found here

Halloween is here to stay

2010-08-23T13:22:00.005-06:00

I like going to Micheal's for each season as they have new 1.50 stamps. I picked up this Frankenstein one, and a few others..

Card stock is SU basic black, the DSP is old SU called creepy crawlie. Basic Gray is the mat around frankie, old olive is the mat behind the orange DSP. Then some bling from the dollar store to finish it off.

Witch way??

2010-08-18T12:32:00.004-06:00

I have been busy camping this summer and am back, so of course I had to start making stuff for my favourite holiday.

Not many deets, the witch is from SU stamp set called "Best Fiends".

Scallop flowers

2010-06-26T09:34:00.004-06:00

These flowers seem to be pretty popular lately so I thought that I would try them out and I love em.

All supplies SU unless noted.

Card base is Early espresso, with a whisper white base. I stamped the leaves from a retired set called "Best blossoms" in early espresso. The DSP of course can't remember, but the card stock is Baja breeze. Used the scallop trim punch to make a border and then some no namey white ribbon.

Now to make the flowers, punch out 5 scallop pieces of any DSP that you like, now line them up in a stack and using a cropadile punch a hole in the middle of them, this will be for the brad. Once you have your hole punched, crumple up all of them individually, layer them again and put a brad through the middle to keep them all together, and there is your flower.

Fish bowl

2010-06-10T10:22:00.004-06:00

Summer is here, not that you would not from the weather but now I actually have an excuse as to why I don't post so much.

I have seen the "water" card and wanted to make one, but didn't have the right set.

I don't have alot of deets about this card. I bought the stamp set from a garage sale, it's acrylic and called "Sushi bowl party"

2010-05-29T13:22:00.006-06:00

Sparkly cherries

2010-04-20T17:37:00.004-06:00

All supplies used are Stampin Up! unless noted.

Card base is real red, the cherry paper is from SU"s Rockabilly, I matted on old olive and used one of Stampin Up's new punches for the border.

I used the scallop punch in old olive. I stamped the image in glue, actually my glue pad was dry so I used the blue glue zigpen and "coloured" glue onto my stamp and stamped on whisper white. I used the cherry stamp from Tart n' tangy.

Looks around (whispering voice) I used Martha Stewart glitter to put on the cherries. The ribbon is real red 5/8".

Easter Bunny

2010-03-30T18:35:00.005-06:00

What a sweetie eh? Another copy cat, I am sure you have figured it out that I don't have any original ideas. There really isn't a tutorial for this it is kind of self explanatory. The box is a 2-5-7-10 box (tutorial here ) which I made and cut down, punched the edges with the new SU punch,
and folded over. I made my small circles using the 2 different hole punches on the crop a dile
I am going to fill with grass and a few Easter treats.

Blue Baroque

2010-03-23T12:57:00.008-06:00

I have to say, I looove this card, I have done it in red and pink also and I am sure it will be done in many other colours.

All supplies used are Stampin Up! unless noted.

I borrowed the butterfly image and embossilit (Beautiful wings embosilit)from my sister so I can't remember the names of the butterflies, if you look in the comments maybe she will be kind enough to post.

My card base is tempting turquoise, brilliant blue mat, then whisper white.
I stamped the swirly gig from Baroque Motifs in tempting turquoise and the flowers from Baroque Motifs in brilliant blue. The stamped butterfly was inked in tempting turquoise and then the edges were rolled in brilliant blue ink (rock n roll method). The other butterfly is a die cut using a SU embossilit. I then jazzed things up with some bling from the dollar store.

Easter

2010-03-17T10:18:00.003-06:00

I really wanted to try and post 3D things, but that can't always be the case, so you will see me blogging more often, but it will be mostly cards.

I recently discovered fun flock and thought the would look great on Easter images.

All supplies used are SU unless noted

Both cards use the image from "A good egg"

Colours used were tempting turquoise, yoyo yellow, pink passion, and gable green. The DSP is a retired one called Rainbow Sherbert

Brads are tempting turquoise and SU rhinestone ones. I used a glue pad (not SU), stamped my image then pressed fun flock onto.

Mail box

2010-02-07T14:00:00.007-06:00

I have had a couple of the tin mail boxes laying around and thought I would attempt to make one pretty. It was a but frustrating, with some trial and error it was actually quite easy. I think I am going to give this to my son's teacher. They will be making valentine boxes for there exchange and so I thought I would make one for the teacher.

I just measured the box and cut the proper width x 12". I semi figured out where the flag was and took a 1/2" circle punch a punched a hole, then slid the DSP over the flag.

I used Sending Love DSP from SU, chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, and Mod Podge.

Valentine Card

2010-01-26T12:31:00.016-06:00

Valentine Tic Tac Toe

2010-01-09T16:56:00.032-06:00

I bought some of these metal tins from the SU! clearance rack, didn't know what to do with them so I looked on Splitcoaststampers. It's not an idea that I came up with, but thought that it rocked, making a tic tac toe board that can travel with you, someone also made up a matching game to, see end of post for these examples.

All supplies Stampin Up! unless noted.

The tic tac toe DSP is real red from a level 1 pack from a couple years ago, I used my Xyron to make it all sticky and adherred, then drew a grid.

The DSP used on the outside is from We R Memory Keepers and it's called "Darling", again adhered it to the tin with the Xyron, then sanded down the edges, put on a coat of Modge Podge

I used my Crop a dile to punch holes in the tin, and threaded through some real red grosgrain ribbon.

My game pieces are real red & regal rose, I used the new stamp set, i {Heart} Hearts, and the punch heart to heart, laminated them, and then glued on a piece of magnet. Of course I made a Spiderman one too

Splitcoast examples here example1, example2,

Don''t think that I have mentioned that I have started selling my cards out of my Mum & niece's sub shop. Here is one I made today.

The only SU part of it is the image, and card stock, that's all the info...but I wrote down my measurements in case you wanted to make one too. It is a great way to show off paper you like.

Tempting turquoise mat is 4 x 2

DP is 3.75 x 1.75

Rose red mat is 2 x 3

2009-12-08T10:16:00.002-06:00

Holiday treats

2009-12-06T14:54:00.009-06:00

(Insert BS story why I haven't blogged in awhile here)! I got the stamp set "Sweet Centers" from SU http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=116521 and am diggin it. You can only get it until January 4th, 2010. Keep that in mind. I am thinking about having a class using it shortly after the holidays. I used the sweet treat cups with it too. There is another set coming out in the mini that uses the sweet treat cups also.

The paper is ww, garden green. The DP I have no idea. I also made this card with a slider so you don't have to wreck the card to get the candy out.

Christmas cards

2009-11-12T13:32:00.008-06:00

Up for your viewing pleasure today is some hot Christmas cards, I did this with my splurge group last year and just loved it. The strip that the trees are stamped on is a paint chip (looks around and whispers) you can get the paint chips from just about any store that sells paint.

Cut the paint chip strip to the size you want, I then inked up SU Lovely as a tree in whisper white, stamp your image, lift up and stamp a little over top what you have already stamped, I embossed with iridescent ice. I used the mat pack to poke holes around the edge of my card stock, then used the white signo pen to make it look like faux stitching. Stamped a Christmas sentiment from Sincere Salutations.

Purse/box

2009-10-18T13:43:00.011-06:00

Ladies, please, please, hold the applause. I haven't blogged in a bit as I needed to find just the right project.

Long time no blog, ha ha ha, well up for your viewing pleasure today is a little scrap album made out of toilet paper tubes, that's right folks TOILET PAPER TUBES. As usual this is not my original idea, something I stumbled upon. Isn't this rockin, I think I say that about alot of things.

I took 3 empty toilet paper rolls and flattened the heck out of them, a bone folder works great for this.

I cut my patterned paper 4" x 5.5" (your rolls might differ) and ran a few rows of sticky strip down it,. adhered to toilet paper roll.

After papering all your rolls, and decorating as you see fit, using a crop a dile and jumbo eyelets, put an eyelet at the end of one side, this is how they fit on the ring.

Now eyeball up some coordinating card stock and make your inserts and decorate.

Watercolouring

2009-04-24T17:47:00.008-06:00

Hey peeps, I've been kinda neglectful, it's just that time of year. I haven't done masculine in awhile, which I really, really like to do. I find them so much easier then any other, I guess it's because you can keep it simple, you don''t have to worry about all the "girly" stuff like flowers and bling. I actually pulled out some of my scrap DP and got to use some of it up.

Very Vanilla back ground (SU), strip of ???? DP, with Blue Walmart Ribbon, the mat around the bear is brocade blue (SU), bear is from the SU set Yukon, I stamped the image on watercolour paper (SU), then coloured it in with SU watercolour crayons

Altered lunch tins

2009-04-21T09:26:00.010-06:00

I'm baaaack (in creepy poltergeist voice). I had the week off for Easter break and spent it painting my daughters room. You won't see pics for awhile as I want to let the paint cure before I put up the decor elements.

Here are 2 of the tins I made for the golf tourney, all 4 are pretty much the same I just used the paper differently on all of them.

All supplies SU unless noted.

I bought the metal lunch tins from Micheal's, the paper is Darling Dots from SAB, certainly celery ribbon is from SAB as well, the blue ribbon is from WalMart, added some flowers and ribbon on the handle.

New fave

2009-04-07T14:42:00.007-06:00

I have to say that I love this card, unfortunately it is not my own design. I came across it somewhere, shame on me and had to have one like it, I changed the ribbon and sentiment. I have had the tart n tangy stamp set for awhile but didn't do anything with it. I went on a mission for some examples and found some really great ones to inspire me, so what I am saying is expect to see a few from tart n tangy.

All supplies SU unless noted

Whisper white base 2.25" strip of Summer Picnic DSP, strip of Pumpkin Pie, which I scalloped with a corner rounder from Wal Mart. Old olive ribbon. Pumpkin Pie with scallop punch, 1 3/8" circle punch with Summer Picnic DSP, apple stamp from tart n tangy in old olive ink. The crooked birthday sentiment is from Upsy Daisy.

Cards for a cause

2009-04-06T18:26:00.010-06:00

Sick of my SAB stuff yet? Hey free product, I am usin like crazy. A friend of mine puts on a "Girls gone wild" golf tournament for breast cancer and asked me to donate something. I am/have made metal lunch tins and am going to fill them with cards that I make, this being one of them. I will post pics of the metal tins later.

All supplies SU, unless noted

Base is choc chip, mat is from the SAB paper Delicate Dots (bashful blue), 2.5" strip of choc chip then punched with the scallop border punch. The flowers are from SAB's Polka Dot Punches stamp set. I used heat n stick powder with versamark and then the Fine Cosmo Glitter. The ribbon is probably from Wal Mart. The scallop oval punch is from the new SU mini and the stamp inside is from Fiskars

All SAB card

2009-03-31T13:50:00.007-06:00

I have never done 2 step stamping, or really cared for it, but guess what, I think this is what I will be doing for awhile. I think it would be great for new stampers as you really don't have to be precise. I put up 2 of the same card so you could see the glitter in the centre of the yellow flowers.

All supplies SU-except the stickle

Base is So Saffron, then a strip of Certainly Celery with the DSP Delicate Dots from SAB, then a strip of So Saffron ribbon, again from SAB, with a nice little knot. The stamp set I used is Botanical Blooms, again from SAB, I did the flowers in Bashful Blue and So Saffron, the leaves are Certainly Celery, and then basic black outline, some stickles in the centre and finis!!!

Glitter semi tutorial

2009-03-29T13:43:00.023-06:00

The card with the gorgeous coloured heart done in glitter is one from the Edmonton regional. I fell in love with it. I probably have about 8 pictures of this card on my camera. I did not make the card with the heart, I repeat I did not make the card with the heart, isn't it hot though. The cards with the flowers done in glitter is the one I made. It is so easy, I will tell you how to do it and then give the supplies for my card. Roger that?

Take SU's sticky cuts, letters or "sweet" OR in just the sheet of sticky cuts pages, did you know you could get ones that you can make your own, just think of all the possibilities with punches and the sheet of sticky cuts...I'm in heaven.

Step 1

Take a sticky cut, I choose 3 flowers from the SU sticky cuts "Sweet". I just peeled one side off of the sticky cuts and adhered to the whisper white paper, then a took my hobby knife and on the sticky cuts, cut it into 3 pieces. (the heart card would have cut theirs 6 times).

***you will end up cutting through your paper, don't worry about it. It is best to the cutting on a cutting mat, before you put your card together.

Step 2

I peeled off one section of my sticky cut and dumped Fine Cosmo glitter on it, then the next flower etc. Pat the glitter down to get it to adhere even better. Work with only 1 colour at a time.

Step 3

Peel away the middle section of the flower and using a different coloured glitter, adhere to sticky cut. You can do this as many times as you want.

All supplies SU

Base is Pacific Point, mat is Rose Red

Flowers are from Sticky Cuts Sweet on Whisper White paper matted with Pumpkin Pie

Blue glitter from Fine Supernova- Aqua

Orange glitter from Fine Supernova- Orange

Pink glitter from Fine Cosmo- Rose Pink

Ribbon is 1/2 Striped grosgrain ribbon- Pumpkin Pie

Regional card boards

2009-03-28T19:33:00.006-06:00

So here are some of the card boards that they had at the Edmonton regional. Some pretty neat stuff. I learnt a new thing to do with the sticky cuts and glitter, it was totally awesome. Will have to give you a 101 on it. I do have a tutorial written and photographed to put up of a gift holder, I just can't figure out how to add add numerous photos in between the directions...ahhh someday.

Lame candy

So is my candy lame???? Only 3 comments.

2009-03-26T11:10:00.008-06:00

Been a real busy week for me, today is my son's birthday so I have been busy prepping for that. I haven't had time to craft so I whipped out one of my 6 x 6 albums and am posting that, this pic is a few years old.

All items SU unless noted

Base is tempting turq, strip of DP is lovely lilac from the winter/fall catty. Picture is matted in whisper white. I stamped an image from Totally tamps in lovely lilac then used the matching tab punch. The hearts are from Priceless which I glittered away (my new fave-glitter). Tag punch which I wrote my age in lovely lilac and then used a dollar store arrow brad pointing towards moi!!

Out of town

2009-03-18T23:17:00.003-06:00

Leaving town tomorrow to go to regionals in Edmonton, probably won't have another project to share but I will post pics of the gathering.

Easter already

2009-03-17T13:43:00.009-06:00

Bonjour mes amis. I felt like doing something Eastery so this is what I came up with. I also think it would be a great card to demo as is quite simple, but you get to use numerous things. Only 2 more sleeps to regionals wooohooo.

All supplies are SU only

Base is taken with teal, very vanilla mat sponged with Summer Sun ink. Using the 1 3/8", 1 1/4", and 1" circle punches I cut out various sizes in taken with teal, summer sun, and lovely lilac and just kinda slapped them on the card, I stamped the image from "A good" egg on very vanilla and them matted on taken with teal scallop punch, whoops forgot to colour the beak in with summer sun. Then I took a filigree brad and a brad from the fire and ice rhinestone brad and put them where I thought there should be a little bling. happy easter sentiment is also from "A good egg"

Beautiful Boho backgrounds

2009-03-15T17:42:00.023-06:00

Hey chicken wings, yes that is a shadow my my arm in the picture. LOL. I'm so excited, today my sisters and I went and bought fabric for curtains, and paint. I have a 20 month old daughter and think her "baby"decor needs to be redone, so I bought the Ginormousflowers1 from SU's decor elements line. I am making new curtains and going to paint her room, hmmm, maybe I should do a before and after, anywho, the paint is (obviously not exact but close) So Saffron, her curtains are going to be Pixie Pink and So Saffron and then the flowers in Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Pixie Pink and So Saffron, sound pretty rockin. 3 of her walls have built is shelves so it should be neat to see the end result.

The card here (in whispering voice) is for swapping at regional, I should be done with regional swapping posts now, and using the same layouts.

All supplies current SU only

Colours are tempting turquoise, basic black, whisper white.

Base is black, matted with tempt turq. Strip of black 2.25'"and strip of ww 2" stamped with Boho backgrounds. Tempt turq ribbon with black knot. Scallop punch used for black scallop. 1 3/8" circle punch in tempt turq, and again Boho backgrounds stamp set (I love how you can use different sized circle punches to punch out different designs with the big beautiful circle image from Boho.

Finally

2009-03-10T18:56:00.008-06:00

After how many weeks I finally have my swap card, I am sure everyone is sick to death about hearing about them. I just want to make sure and swap something that I am proud of. I made variations of this with the colours, some are black & pink, black & temp turq. etc. I did make another design that I will be swapping as well, I'll post another day.

Whew, lotta posts, I just wanted to have some eye candy on the top. The one card you have seen before, I just wanted to show how different things can be with a different setting. Another "photo shoot" my sister and I had.

An award, an award

2009-03-08T11:28:00.017-06:00

Wow, can you believe it, a talented lady, whose blog I like to visit was kind enough to give me this award. You can find her blog at Sarastamper , go check her out.

I didn't know what to do with the award or what not so I kinda blew her off for a bit (sorry Sara), then I figured I would grab the bull by it's horns and email and ask, this is what you do, just click on the award and save to your pictures and then do a regular post. Now I believe that I am to pass this on to 5 other people. Let's give it a whirl. Head on over to check out these ladies, yes it is kinda chain mailish, but it makes a person (me, anyways) feel good to receive. These virtual strangers enjoy your creations enough to do this. If it's your thing, it's you thing, if not c'est la vie.

Spiderman invitations

2009-03-07T10:38:00.008-06:00

My son is turning 4 in a few weeks and like every other little boy he's in love with Spider man, so we will be having a Spidey party. I am making the invitations with paper and stickers, I don't have enough of the same Spidey stickers so they will all be a little different. I don't know if It's a faux pas but some of the invites are going to little girls so I am feminizing them (poor spidey with glitter-he-he). I will post some of those another day.

The colours I choose were brilliant blue, real red and whisper white, so those are what I used for paper, ink, etc. I have a little spider web stamp that I used and the stickers are from Sandylion, I bought them at Dollarama. I printed the swing on by off the computer with Spinstee font.

2009-03-05T13:59:00.010-06:00

Lately I have been trying to come up with some designs for swap cards and I have a serious block, if I sit down and just craft things are ok, but the fact that I am trying to come up with the perfect design is driving me nutso, and I can't. I made this card awhile ago and just had it sitting on my desk when my sister seen and said I should post. I was going to make this card for swapping at regionals but I don't have any silver hodge podge and you have to use only current material for regional swaps so back to the drawing board

All supplies SU

Bottom base is not quite navy, then a strip of Urban Garden DSP.

The other base is kiwi kiss, baja breeze mat, not quite navy mat. I then stamped the image from pocket silhouettes in baja breeze and not quite navy. A little pewter paper clip from hodge podge and a little bit of whisper white ribbon to finish it off.

Demo swap

2009-03-02T14:28:00.010-06:00

Layout look familiar, it's the same as the St. Patrick's day one. I'm going to SU regional in a couple of weeks and am thinking of making these as one of my cards to swap. Like the eye candy around it? My sister and I thought it might look nice. Ok onto the deets. My sister is coming with me to the regional in Edmonton, we are pretty pumped.

All supplies Su

Basic black base, pixie pink mat
2.5 inch basic black mat, 2.25 whisper white mat stamped with the swirly from Priceless. Black scallop punch, dotted with white uni pen, butterfly is from Priceless also, heat and stick powder and pink glitter from the fine cosmo.

Not for the faint of heart (LOL)

2009-02-26T19:38:00.010-06:00

I have been back to work since Monday, so I haven't really created or blogged or much of anything. The blog always seems to be the first thing I slack on. I am the type of person to jump from thing to thing, again why I love paper crafting. As my sister says I find something and just run with it. So you can see what I have been running with lately. I have no supply list or anything, as usual. I just thought I would offer up some eye candy, I have seen these types of cards all over, I'm certainly not the person who thought it up. Here is the link for the templateStampowl

Finally, a page

2009-02-22T10:24:00.012-06:00

I got into paper crafting through scrap booking. I scrapbook more then I do anything else, unfortunately I don't seem to be able to photograph them very well so I don't post them often. I made this page to demo at my stamp club. We just made the 8.5 x 11 and then I showed them what I did with it putting it onto a 12 x 12 as that is what most size our albums are.

All supplies SU unless noted

The 12 x 12 is choc chip, various buttons-not SU, and the gorgeous sweet sticky cuts with dazzling diamonds, oh and a piece of ww card stock.

The 8.5 x 11 base is Kiwi Kiss, the strip of dp is from Bella Rose, my photo mats are riding hood red. I stamped the scallop image from SAB's Polka dot punches on ww with real red and punched out with the scallop punch, mat of choc chip, and the "jack" image from Wow flowers in kiwi kiss, then popped up with dimensional. Grabbed some colour coordinated ribbon, not SU, fanned them out then made a pewter build a brad with the same dp as the strip.

St. Patricks day card

2009-02-18T09:44:00.009-06:00

I have my splurge tomorrow night, and have not been able to come up with my second project. DH suggested something St. Patricks day, so this is what I came up with, pretty simple and basic but sometimes those are the best cards. I made about 7 of these with different variations. I sure hope people don't get sick of me sending them cards.

All supplies SU.

The card base is basic black, the mat gable green. I took the clover from the stamp set Year Round Fun II and stamped it on whisper white (1.5 x 5.25) then matted on black mat (1.75 x 5.25). I used the stamp set Pinch Proof for the big clover in the scallop. I used heat and stick powder and then green glitter from the Fine Cosmo? glitter stack. I punched it out with the 1 3/8 circle punch. Punched out a basic black scallop, and used the white gel pen.

Backwoods, I'm not talkin where I come from

2009-02-16T19:53:00.016-06:00

No you are not seeing double, well actually you kind of are . Can you guess what I just got for a new stamp set...that's right, SU's Backwoods. I just love these masculiney type of images. I had a couple of lonely tangerine tango sheets and figured I'd play. I don't think they are overly fab or anything but thought it was neat how you could get 3 different cards with semi the same colour scheme.

All supplies are SU unless noted.

The colours throughout all the cards are tangerine tango, so saffron, bashful blue, old olive, very vanilla, whisper white,Chocolate chip-but really, non SU paper, which I think is close to choc chip, and as usual I can't give you the name of it and last but not least watercolour paper.

Let's see what I used for accessories, choc chip grosgrain ribbon, non SU white button ribbon slide, and a corner rounder to make the scallops.

White grosgrain ribbon-not SU, staple, round tab punch

Looks like I only used the mat pack on that one. The layout of the very first one is from a sketch from SCS which can be found here.

My first challenge

2009-02-10T09:58:00.010-06:00

Valentines seem to be the theme lately. I made this card for my hubby but then I got carried away with sending out valentines and now one of my friends will end up receiving. I did make another one for hubby though.

This card was made from a card sketch, which I love and have made about 8 variations of. You can find the original challenge sketch on SCS here

All supplies used are SU, unless noted.

Mat is regal rose, then I cut my mats out of real red and whisper white 4 x 1 3/4. The inside mats I used some real red paper from a prints pack and whisper white stamped with a heart 3.75 x 1.5. Then I punched out a scallop of real red and circle punched the white, the be mine sentiment comes from Micheal's stamps.

Harley valentine

2009-02-09T17:47:00.011-06:00

Just a quick post here, I took this picture in the laundry room, hiding from the hubby. This is what I made for him for Valentine's Day. He rides so we are sorta into Harley stuff.

Nugget tin from here

Peppermint patties, covered with only orange and basic black. The stamp is from Born to ride and a happy valentines. The bar and shields (for non Harley people-the orange stamp on belly band) is from a Harley stamp set by EK Success, ribbon from who knows where. The belly band is basic black and whisper white stamped in only orange.

Valentine's treats

2009-02-06T19:51:00.007-06:00

Today must have been my lucky day. There was a water main break at work so I got to come home early, no kits, so time to craft. I jump from projects to projects, I ordered some nugget tins of the neat and have been making them like crazy. I am making some for my husband, guess what kind.....Harley Davidson of course. I am sure if you look at some of my other posts you will know I am into that kinda thing. I actually have a few people that are buying some off of me, kewl eh? I started gathering the tutorial together last night and have started to put it together so it is indeed coming.

Baby Onesie card

2009-01-31T09:46:00.014-06:00

Kind of a crappy picture eh? It's the pink, the pink, it's too light. It's Pink Pirouette, one of SU's new "in" colours, I am not a big fan of it that's way I choose to work with it for this card because I don't really care for it, it's too light.

Isn't this card awesome? I have seen alot of them but never knew how to do it. I stumbled, as always across the tutorial in one of my blog search sessions. The template for it can be found here. I tweaked it a bit myself. I just love, love, love them, the baby onesies I mean.

All supplies SU except for buttons.

Pink Pirouette for the onesie, whisper white for the scallops and 2 white buttons.

Back to my roots

2009-01-29T22:49:00.010-06:00

I had my first "splurge" gathering last night, I think things went rather well. 9 of us get together every month, spend 25.00 on SU, eat and craft. It was fun. I haven't made any masculine cards in awhile which is strange as I really enjoy and do alot of manly cards.

All supplies used are SU.

The base is close to cocoa, I matted not quite navy on it with 3 always artichoke brads. I used a mat of bashful blue which I faux stitched, the bear is matted on always artichoke, faux stitching as well. I stamped a sentiment from Lots of thoughts and punched it using the tab punch, threw in a little stapely poo to make it more manly. The bear image is from the stamp set Yukon and I used a blender pen and chalks.

Masterpiece

2009-01-26T18:46:00.006-06:00

This won't be a long post as my entire family, including myself have been VIOLENTLY ill. This is the masterpiece, I am quite proud of it. All supplies used are the same as listed in my other posts.

Round 2 of demo swap card

2009-01-24T13:22:00.026-06:00

Another cold day out on the prairies, I'm trying to keep warm, thought I would blog. My sister and I have been working on a tutorial, (another vague empty promise here) which I hope to add soon. I have been checking out other blogs alot lately and find I like to visit sites with tutorials, and obviously nice eye candy.

For those that have been here before, this is the other card I came up with (the card on top), for the demo swap on Splitcoaststampers I didn't like the original (one on bottom) so I made another. I still didn't like it, so I made another, I went through some of my cards received in swaps and found a rockin template. I am excited to post it. Well enough of that, check back again to see the master piece.

All supplies used SU

Base is Kiwi Kiss, then matted on Cameo Coral.

Itty bitty bolds with versamark and Iridescent Ice on Cameo Coral.

Mat of white , scallop edge punch, Raspberry Tart DSP, scallop edge punch.

Rose red scallop punch, kiwi kiss circle punch, whisper white circle punch.

Spring stems stamp set coloured with Old Olive and Rose Red markers (you can get away with using old olive to match with Kiwi Kiss is small doses)

Blog templates

2009-01-23T21:04:00.006-06:00

Like the new blog layout? I stumbled across this website delightfuldots . that has awesome, gorgeous free layouts. I choose this for valentines day, you likey?

Chipboard book

2009-01-17T10:04:00.004-06:00

There is not much left to do to finish off the chipboard book, you should have all of your pages assembled and ready to put the book together. I took a crop a dile, figured out where I wanted my holes, and punched them. If you don't own a crop a dile I really suggest you get one, they are awesome.

Chipboard pages.

2009-01-15T16:51:00.000-06:00

Hey peeps, I guess I should go back to the chipboard book eh? I choose to put my pages back to back to make it 1 page. Don't know if I said this before but when designing your pages keep in mind how many rings and where you want to place them as you will be using the crop a dile to punch holes through your pages. Make sure you put your pages back to back as you design them so you keep in mind the rings when placing ribbon, embellies etc. Then I just took double sided tape and taped the two of them together.

Advice please

2009-01-12T14:59:00.001-06:00

There is a SU only demo swap that I am thinking of joining. Do you think this card is demo worthy. Please leave even a yes or no comment. Thanks.

All supplies are SU-BRAND NEW

Base Kiwi kiss

Mat Cameo coral

whisper white mat with NEW Raspberry Tart designer paper. Rose red scallop, kiwi kiss circle mat, stamp set NEW Spring stems, stamped in certainly celery and rose red markers.

Inside album

2009-01-11T00:39:00.001-06:00

I have just finished doing all the pages for my chipboard album. My intention is to use the crop a dile to bind them together. I thought about adhering the pages to chipboard but I think I will just use the pages back to back and planned for when making. I kept that in mind when designing each page to leave room for the holes from the crop a dile.

The base is SU white card stock, I used a no-name stamp and embossed clear over SU bravo burgundy ink. The DP????, Photo is mounted on SU garden green. I used various ribbon and some staples.

6 x 6 chipbaord album

2009-01-09T13:58:00.002-06:00

I have known about chip board for a while now, but never really worked with it. With Christmas having passed and a lot of pictures to scrapbook with I thought I would do something outside the box, for me. I have mentioned tutorials a few times but never done one. I don't even think of this as a tutorial more of a you can learn at the same time as me. Just like I started doing stuff without taking pictures for you, the audience - LOL. So let's try and figure this out together. Once again I dug product names out of the garbage for this and some I still don't know which company they are from. So here we go wwhhheeee.

I took 2 pieces of raw 6 X 6 chipboard, and using Modge Podge adhered some 6 x 6 paper on to the chipboard. I think the picture kind of says it all. After the paper had dried to the chip board I sanded the %*2& out of the edges of the chipboard to distress it. Then another coat of Modge Podge to make it more durable. This will be the front and back of the album.

The name of the paper I used (please remember I don't think I was able to fish everything out of the garbage) on the covers, is unattainable at this time. I will be more specific when I blog the inside pages of the album. I know the designer paper used in the first few pages are by We R Memory Keepers, one is called "CHRISTMAS- CHEERY". Another of the papers used is by a company called Magenta http://www.magentastyle.com/ (sorry if this breaks infringement, linking it wrong etc-my disclaimer) and the paper is DELICATE STRIPES from the Pleasures collection

Harley Davidson

2009-01-09T13:36:00.000-06:00

I don't know if I mentioned that I am "in" to Harley Davidson stuff. I partcipated in a card swap with a Harlely theme. I got some rockin cards. (little background info before I proceed. I would love to post some of the pics on my blog of the cards but some how I thinkthat would be against copy right blah blah blah)

I found a Memory clock at my LSS by Heidi Swapp and decided I needed to make one. This was not the clock I was thinking of though. My bedroom is Harley Davidson decor. That's right, orange, black, grey and Harley Davidson.

I am trying to to remember my products that I use for crafting, I even dug in my garbage today to pull out the bottom piece that says what company it's from.

Memory clock by Heidi Swapp, Harley Davidson paper by EK success. I don't know the company that made the Harley stamps set that I used, I will guess EK Success. Whisper White paper from Stampin Up, and basic black, and only orange ink by SU.

Tractor

2008-12-23T13:02:00.003-06:00

Hello, Hello......is anybody out there. I have been so busy, but now that I am on holidays for 2 weeks I will be able to post the delicious things I have bee making, who knows, hopefully I will be able to post a tutorial on it.

I have been making packs of cards for christmas gifts and this is one of them. I know, I know, my eyelets are not straight, c'est la vie.

All supplies used are SU

The card base is not quite navy, then on that I matted some East Coast DP. I stamped the tractor image, from "by land" in old olive, then did the rock n roll method and then inked edges of the tractor in not quite navy. Took a sponge with not quite navy ink and sponged the edges of the mat. I took a piece of old olive cardstock and threw in a couple of white eyelets.

Summer, what's going on

2008-11-28T19:18:00.002-06:00

I have been busy with my stamp a stack, and splurge. I crafted looong, and hard so am kinda taking a break for now.

This is just a quick simple card I made, it's been a bit so let's hope I get the recipe right. I am just to lazy to trot upstairs to see exactly what I used. I know it's a bit of a "summery" card, but here she goes

Base is kiwi kiss, mat is bashful blue. The 2 scallop borders, which I made using a corner rounder are real red and SP from ghostly greetings. I used the square punch to cut out the DSP from Summer picnic. The sentiment used is from sincere salutations, stamped in kiwi kiss ink

All together now

2008-11-18T20:37:00.003-06:00

Here is the 3 transitional scrap book pages together. Pretty spiffy eh?

2008-11-18T20:31:00.001-06:00

Ok, here it is the 12 x 12. I know it's not that great of a pic but I'm tryin.

Transitional scrapbooking

2008-11-13T14:23:00.002-06:00

Holy batman it's been ages since I blogged, why you ask, because I have been busy CRAFTING.

I've started doing transitional pages. First you do a 6 x 6, then 8.5 x 11, then 12 x 12. You will have to keep checking back to see the finished pages.

All supplies SU unless noted.

This is a 6 x 6 kiwi kiss background stamped with itty bitty borders in versamark. The strip of DSP is Urban garden. The mat is baja breeze and around it I punched holes using the mat pack, you can't really see it. The saying comes from the stamp set smarty pants, I popped up using a pop dot, 2 not quite navy brads to top it off.

Green tea DSP

2008-11-03T13:47:00.004-06:00

Sun ripened

2008-10-30T19:45:00.001-06:00

I have a stash of coloured/mounted images that just never seemed to make there way into anything so I decided to start using them.

I am going to start trying to be a little more specific with my recipe, I just don't always seem to recall what I have used.

All supplies used are SU, unless noted.

Sun ripened stamp set, not quite navy for base and mat. The green paper is from a level one print pack. i watercoloured the images with pumpkin pie, close to cocoa for branch, and old olive, garden green for leaves. To top it off I used some ww ribbon, and a piece from the hodge podge kit.

Eastern elegance bookmark

2008-10-26T21:10:00.003-06:00

Total sidebar here, I quilt also, this is the only other "crafty" picture I have on my computer. It's called a sampler quilt and it has 12 different blocks on it. Each block is a different pattern, I know that one is called a nine patch. You can't even see all the blocks, anyways sorry to disappoint if you were coming to look at some fantabulous paper crafting.

I made this quilt for my daughter, I also made a sampler quilt for my son. I haven't done it in along time, now that winter is coming I will have to finish the pirate quilt I am making for my husband, it was his christmas gift last year.

Blue is my fav

One of the cards I am making for my stamp a stack, I really like the simplicity of it.

All supplies SU unless noted.

Whisper white and brilliant blue, lovely as a tree stamp set, and Many merry messages stamp set.

I stamped the tree in bb, then took a zig zag glue pen and dabbed it on the tree, then sprinkled dazzling diamonds over it, same thing with the noel. Corner punch, and too little silver spots of bling.

Have I mentioned that Halloween is my favourite time of year? I just can't seem to make enough crafts for it.

I got the shadow box from IKEA, the background paper is SU something or other (current Halloween paper), I think the stamp is all night media, don't quote me on that. The spider is from SU new decor elemnts line. I sponged some black ink around the house.

I have a group of friends and we get together once a month for a "splurge". This is one of the projects we will be making if I can borrow some paper from my upline. I think it's a great card to showcase paper, sometimes you just fall in love with a certain DSP.

All supplies SU, unless noted

Bkgrnd : Red riding hood (or whatever the name), DSP Bella Rose, matted on kiwi kiss, whisper white ribbon, Non SU red ribbon, the stamp set is (I think, something about best is yet to come. maybe I'm out of mind-LOL) a level 1.

Lovely as a tree

I am trying to show how versatile the lovely as atree stamp set is. Here is a masculine card.

All supplies SU

Handsome hunter (base), tree matted on brocade blue, DSP is from the kit Home again, mat pack on bottom (mat packs rock, everyone should have one), clear buttons and some hemp twine. Voila. Oh yeah, I used choc chip and handsome hunter to colour the tree.

You lucky dogs you, 2 posts in 1 DAY. It's because I don't want my puter to crash on me and my 1 faithful follower to be disappointed.

I have started doing 6 x 6's and am kinda diggin them. I am a scrapbooker more then anything so when I pay good money for stuff I am getting my money's worth. I started trying to use my stamps on every scrapbook page.

All supplies SU

Background old olive, stamped with veramark with stamp set starstruck, strip of summer picnic DSP, only orange mat, I made the corners ticket like with the small circle punch, tab punch in bashful blue, mat pack, square scallop punch, It's all good stamp set.
