Hope you have a wonderful day!!! I'm hoping to get a few minutes to play....with NEW stuff!!!!
The other night during my Mystery Class, Emma (my nine year old) really wanted to make a card. So for the first time ever (yes, I'm a control freak) I gave her complete freedom of my craft room. I was amazed at what she came up with! She loves making punched creations and has always been asking me to make a sea horse (and I kept thinking....really???? A sea horse????) Well, needless to say I never did it. And I'm so glad that I didn't!
Look at what Emma made!!! She designed this completely on her own and made the card (cutting and everything) in about a half hour!
She used the Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Bermuda Bay! Doesn't it look great together!
Anyhow, I just had to show you what a great job Emma did on her little creation and if you're looking for a punched sea horse....problem solved! Have a great day!
I am feeling so pumped and SO excited from my Mystery Class last night!!! It was so much fun to socialize and stamp together with an amazing group of ladies! Thank you Sonia, BJ, Abby, Bird, Mer, Teresa, Linda, Marcy, Sandy, Sherry, Tina, Deanna, Melanie and Vicki for making the class SO fun and for getting this new catalogue started with a BLAST!!!
So the "evil" in me came out when planning the class last night. It wasn't like any class I've ever run. First off, (and probably the reason they came!) everyone got a prize that consisted of NEW product! This in my opinion was just the icing on the cake! The way I organized the class is everyone made 6 cards. Two cards of three patterns. BUT the "mystery" was, for the first time making each card they didn't have a pattern to follow! The images were all stamped, the pieces all cut and punched but everyone had to come up with their own layout! I was AMAZED at how different all of them turned out!!!! Then for the second card they could copy my card, or copy someone else's card in the room! It was so much fun and I truly appreciate your being such great sports!
For the first card, the supplies were as follows: Soft Suede (6x3), Soft Suede (2 1/8 x 1 1/8), Admit It Image stamped in Soft Suede on Vanilla Cardstock (1 x 2), Heart to Heart Punch (Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry textured cardstock), Crushed Curry (2 3/4 x 2 1/2), Crushed Curry Ribbon (3 inches)
AND now you get to benefit. Over the next few days I'll be showing you 15 cards on my blog.....mine and then the ones made in class!!!! Hope you like them! If you click on the photo, it will enlarge and then you can examine each card more carefully. It's worth checking it out because these lovely ladies did some extraordinary things on the cards!!!! Have a great day!
Hi Ladies! I'll be back this afternoon with my post BUT I wanted to make a quick post to my ladies coming to my mystery card night tonight (which by the way I am SO excited about!!!) Please park around the corner today as we have a drywaller coming in tonight to do a bit of work. Please bring with you your scissors and adhesive. IF you have the following colour markers please bring them: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Going Gray, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo! See you at 7 sharp:)
Ever have those nights....can't sleep, can't sleep, can't sleep because you have a crafting idea on your mind???? Well, this was me last night! I was uploading my video to Simply Babies and actually took some time to blog hop (happens VERY rarely!) I came across this WONDERFUL blog from my friend Nancy's site. Travelling Mama has a lot of BEAUTIFUL creations on her blog so grab a coffee and check it out!
I fell in love with her July Calendar, I thought it was such a perfect idea, a pretty piece of work to have on display and fairly easy to create. So my next thought was....hey, I just ordered a ton of new DSP can't wait to make one.....then laying in bed the paper crafting demons came out and said...you can't wait, your stuff won't be here until next week!!!! SO, I gave into the powers and thought for July only I'll used retired DSP and rub ons (to use up some stash:) Anyhow, the long and the short of it is....here's my creation! Hope you like it!!!! Have a wonderful Monday!
I hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend! My kids are REALLY into biking right now so we went on a great ride this morning to the forks of the Thames, played for a while and then home! I'm amazed at how well they can do on an hour ride.
As promised, I've got a tutorial on the little envelope I did the other day. It does fit a gift card, and the dimensions are EASY to change should you want it for something else. You can get two envelopes from one card. Hope you like it!
Step 1: Cut your paper to measure 8 x 5 1/2. Score at 3 1/4 and 6 3/4 and then at 1 inch on both sides of the long direction. Cut off the four corner tabs. The only tabs needed are in the middle.
Step 2: Using your corner rounder, punch all of the corners.
Step 3: Apply adhesive to the top of the flaps. Make sure you don't go all the way up as your front panel doesn't quite reach the top.
Step 4: Using the Horizontal punch, punch a hole in the flap. I had to punch one and a half out to fit the wider ribbon.
Step 5: Embellish the front panel of the envelope.
Step 6: Feed the ribbon through the bottom of the flap and then tie a bow on top of the flap. Voila, you're done! How quick and easy is that????
Happy Fourth of July to all my American friends! I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends (and that the weather cooperates!)
Today's post is a THANK YOU to all of YOU! I have had such an amazing response to my Online Simply Babies class that I thought I would share some of the comments with you. I know some of you aren't in the "baby phase" BUT most of my 'students' aren't and you should see the amazing adaptations they are making on the projects!!!!
Becky says: Heather, I was reluctant to take the class because there are no babies in the immediate future :( but I am taking each project and changing it a bit and getting so many ideas! Love the little box, thanks so much for the cupcake recipe, can't wait to try making both!
Sherry says: Love it Heather and you are soooo right about easy to change the colours and theme!!!
DeeDee says: love this and it can be used in a million ways ! It's great to have my coffee with your projects and not travel to Canada for the class ....please keep the classes coming!
Belinda says: The new pdf's are awsome... there just so many options ! They allow you to create by looking at the colors and sketch, before you see the actual project-gets me thinking more creativley!
I am so happy with this new colour combination: Crushed Curry, Ruby Red and Brocade Blue. Primary colours with a twist! I made up these little envelopes for my mystery card night next week! I gotta tell you we are going to have so much fun!!!! These envelopes will have a little note inside them saying what prize they won at my event. But of course it won't be as simple as just getting and keeping an envelope.....intigued??? Also, if you're coming to this event be prepared for some crazy stamping fun....can you sense the evil in my tone???? OK, enough of the clues on Tuesday night, will share more later!
Have a wonderful day (let's hope the rain may stop.....)
Oh, I have two spots left in a ribbon share if anyone is interested! Take care.
Oh yeah, one more thing! For the month of July Stampin' Up! is having a deal of the week...how fun is that? This weeks deal is the scallop edge punch for $15.99! Please email me for details if you're interested or click here to shop online!
This is another stamped image from the More the Merrier Level 3 hostess set. Isn't it just TOO CUTE???? I love it! Cupcakes make most of us so happy:)
Are these colours not fun and fresh!?!? They are Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo (NEW!), Taken with Teal and Bermuda Bay (NEW!) And of course because the new In Colours come in markers I was able to colour in the cupcakes in the solid bold colours using the markers!!!!
The top of the care are just strips of the cardstock cut to 4 inch lengths varying in widths from 1/4 of an inch to about 3/4 of an inch. I just laid them on the card and cut off the extra piece when I got to the edge of the card.
The ribbon is Melon Mambo as well! The scalloped edge is actually the bottom of the card but then I added the piece of Bermuda Bay on the inside of the card to hide the brad backs. I hand drew in the "table" for the cupcakes so they look like they are on a surface. Of course there's a little bit of glitter and some Crystal Effects on the cupcakes as well! Hope you like it!!! (If you're coming to my Mystery Night you may just be using this stamp set:) Have a great day!
Let me begin by saying Happy Canada Day!!! I love Canada Day!!! Unfortunately because Mark has a bad case of the chicken pox (I know, I know....AGAIN!) we won't be going too far or hanging out with too many people but nonetheless our day started off right! Mark loves cinnamon buns so we made some from scratch this morning (yes, in my finished kitchen!) They were SO YUMMY!!!! I've included the recipe on my post today because they were so easy and so delicious! The only disappointing thing was I didn't have any red food colouring for the icing! Next time....
Here goes:
DOUGH: 2 cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Mix these all together in a large bowl.
cut in 1/2 a cup of butter then add 3/4 cup of milk
Knead the dough about 8 times on a floured surface. Roll out with a rolling pin on a floured surface until you have a 12x18 inch rectangle.
FILLING: 1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup of butter (melted)
1 tbsp cinnamon
Mix these all together and spread out over the rolled out dough. Then roll up the dough and slice into spirals. Lay on an ungreased cookie sheet and back at 400 for 12 minutes. YUMMY!!!!! Can you taste them yet.....
ICING: 3/4 cup icing sugar
4 tsp milk
1/8 tsp vanilla
Mix together in a measuring cup until desired consistency. Poor over warm buns! The kids added the sprinkles for a little "party" touch! Hope you have a wonderful Canada Day and I may be back later with a creation (depends on the weather and the chicken pox patient:)

This stamp set is so much fun! I love the robots! I think I'm just so excited because I have a fun boy set that Mark really likes. He went to a party last week and gave his little buddy some Transformers and insisted that the card had to be the robot...how appropriate! This card came together quickly and Mark helped me make it!

Tomorrow the prices go up so if you're in need, let me know. Have a great day!
OK I was FAR too excited when I saw the new level three hostess set in the catalogue called "The More the Merrier". Not only is it a sweet, sweet set BUT it has a line of pumpkins. I know what you're thinking....who cares? Bare with me....my due date is the end of October, I love Halloween and come the end of October there will be six little pumpkins (just like the stamp) in our house!!!! How fun is that? OK, I know it's a stretch but don't you think that's fun!?!?! So, should we happen to have a Halloween baby I may just have to use this stamp set for my birth announcements!
How are you liking the new In Colours here....very fall and fun! I've used the Dusty Durango and Soft Suede with Apricot Appeal and Pumpkin Pie....YUMMY!!!!
Here's one of my classes for July - NEW CATALOGUE MYSTERY TOUR!!!!

Everyone else will receive NEW product!!!!

I am LOVING these new In Colours. I'm so sorry to post them before July 1st BUT I can't wait to share them with you (read to the bottom of the post for more details!) Anyhow, one of the comments I've heard about the new colours is that they are more on the "girly" side. BUT the more I use these the more versatile I am realizing they are.....I hope you feel the same way!
These photos were taken by my wonderful friend Barb. We went to the park one day and she took some GREAT photos you'll see scrapbooked over the next few weeks. These ones were so easy to scrapbook! I play a little game with Nathan and ask him if his ears work. As you can see by the series of photos, he starts by pulling on his ear lobs and then he ends up sticking his tongue out.....how sweet is that? Now he asks others if their ears work and expects you to do the same....very sweet!!! I just love him to bits!

My last teacher gift to share with you is a little gift bag that holds two of the Bath and Body works soap bottles (you know the ones I"m talking about.....right?) Anyhow, this was a really quick and easy package again to make. Here are the dimensions:
Base: Real Red 8 3/4 x 6 scored 2 inches all the way around (cut along score lines to make a tab and fold shut to make a tray for the soaps to sit in)
Sides of the Box: Bashful Blue (you need two of these...one makes the front and sides of the box, the other makes the back and doubles up the sides) 9 x 8 1/2 scored at 1 3/4, 6 5/8 (score in the same direction as the 9 inch side)
DSP: I just used scraps of DSP I had laying around. I used 12 inch strips and 4 inch pieces.
To make the box, create the base first. Then apply adhesive to the bottom of the Bashful Blue back piece. Wrap around and adhere to the base. Then crease the front piece and apply adhesive to the inside of the two side flaps and all along the bottom. Wrap around the front of the base. This will create the "bag". Then wrap the DSP around the cardstock and embellish. I then creased the sides of the bag, punched holes in the top with the Crop-o-dile and fed the ribbon through to close the bag. Hope you can use the pattern. Have a great day!
I know, schools done but maybe this can come in handy for a special someone coming up. A few of you asked yesterday what the package held in the photo and it's a journal. Emma's teacher loves to write so we got her a nice journal for her thoughts. The packaging simply went right around the outside dimensions of the book.
This was a gift for Mark's teacher. Mark informed me that his teacher is "pretty pretty" and that she ALWAYS has nice clothes and jewelry (wondering if he's comparing her to me....track pants, ponytail kindof a mom:) Anyhow, he thought she'd like a new necklace so this is what we did for her. We ended up getting two necklaces so we had to make a fun package for them.
This is a REALLY quick and easy project. I used the Box #2 Die for the Big Shot (in the new In Colour...isn't it pretty?) I then added Pale Plum layers to all the edges so it looks like it's one box, rather than two stacked on top of one another. The lids of the boxes have the cord button going all the way through it so it acts as the "knob" to open the box. (notice the new stamp set also??? Just a little hint of the super fun circles!)
Isn't the new DSP fun???? You are going to LOVE the new In Colours....at least I do:) Oh I'm so excited!
I have had a few people email me and ask....YES for sure I'll be doing a ribbon share and YES for sure I'll be doing a paper share! I'll post details soon:) Have a wonderful day!
I am so excited!!!! No more lunches to make AND the kids are home!!! Can you get any better than that? I am pumped!!! Hope you are too!
Here is one of the teacher gifts I made. I do appologize that I didn't have it posted sooner....BUT I was up FAR too late last night finishing...oh wait starting and finishing my teacher gifts! I know, I know, it's bad but I plan on going to bed early tonight:)
I'd do the dimensions for this but it really would depend on the size of the book/journal you would use.
The stamps were the Friends 24-7 and the matching wheel. I am so happy with the simplicity of this packaging and gift. It's done in Kraft and Close to Cocoa ink.
I do appologize that I've been missing in action both in the blogging world and my emailing for the past few days! I am just so excited to say that the punch books are DONE!!!!!! It's about 17500 punches later, 1000 pages and 50 books!!!! I am SO happy to have the SHIPPED AND OUT OF MY HAIR! At moments I truly did enjoy project, but with the delay in the 12x12 paper, I was a little time stressed. But as always you ladies are so patient and understanding and for that I appreciate it very much!
So, if you've ordered a book from me and paid, you will receive an email from me tonight with the PDF of all the completed pages.
I have 8 books remaining. These will be first come, first serve. If you are interested, the completed 20 page punch book comes in a 6x6 post bound SU natural scrapbook and will be shipped once payment of $50 is received.
If you are interested in purchasing the PDF only, I am selling the 11 patterns only that have NOT appreared on any of my Simply Punches online classes or on my blog in the past(this tree makes 12 and the crab earlier on my blog is 13!). This 11 page PDF includes the photo of the completed page that outlines each punched piece and a finished photo (as shown on my photo today), the punches needed to create the punched shape, the colours used and any additional tips. This PDF will be selling for $10 and I will be donating this money to our local food bank in way of diapers, wipes and diaper cream. (The tree shown here and the crab shown earlier on my blog are not included in this PDF.
IF YOU HAVE ORDERED A FINISHED PUNCH BOOK YOU ARE RECEIVING THE SAME PDF FOR FREE SO PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE BOTH:)
Again, thank you for all your support, sweet comments and really, just for being you!
PUNCH BOOK UPDATE: Well, I'm still on track and VERY happy!!! The punch books will be shipped out on Wednesday. I will have some extra books available for purchase and will have these on my blog either Wednesday or Thursday once I hear back from a few people. I have also decided to sell the PDF of the creations that are NOT in any of my Simply Punches classes as a separate document. The money raised from this PDF will be donated to our local food bank and will go on sale on Wednesday of this week. Thanks so much for asking!
Well, many of you weren't sure if you were reading it correctly. BUT yes, we are expecting number four this fall. I figured you'd figure out soon enough (beyond the obvious should you see me in person) but I am starting to prepare and scrapbook. Because my brother is due and I am expecting I figured running the Simply Babies class was an obvious and "needed" class. I can't wait to show you some of the projects I have coming up for this one....thanks to all of you that have already signed up! This class begins July 1st.
This scrapbook page has a little bit of a sneak peek on it for you. Isn't the DSP just so CUTE??? LOVE the little elephants! And how appropriate for this page of the little munchkin?
I have the little scallop envelopes on the page for my hidden journaling. I am going to have Adam, Emma and Mark (and I already did) write a little message to the baby for future reference. How sweet will that be to look back on? And to keep the envelopes shut, I used my 2 Way Glue pen....yes, 2 way means 2 ways to use it!!! It can be permanent (apply to paper and attach layers immediately) or temporary (apply to paper, let dry and then it acts like a sticky note!)
Here is a quick recipe for this page:
12 x 12 Chocolate Chip
two 1/2 x 12 inch strips of DSP (the green that borders the title)
2 3/4 x 12 inch strip of DSP for the title
Serif Alphabet for the Big Shot
5 3/4 x 12 So Saffron
photos are 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 and mounted on Whisper White 3 5/8 x 2 7/8
1 inch x 12 strip of dotted DSP then scalloped and adhered under the So Saffron
2 1/2 x 12 inch strip of the elephant DSP
Button Latte and Linen Thread (adhered with glue dots)
Scallop Envelope for the Big Shot in Close to Cocoa
I realize my dimensions don't add up to 12 inches for my cardstock but it is on a 12x12 page. I adjusted the widths of my layers as I was attaching them (making some layers smaller) to fit my photos.
Hope you like the page and I'll see you again tomorrow:)
Well, I'm not too sure how many fathers read my blog, but if you're one of them, thanks and happy day! I do want to wish all of you a happy day though spending time with those you love and taking a few minutes to remember all the fabulous men that have been in your life. I thought I'd share with you the kids craft we did a few weekends back. I had so much fun because I had BOYS at my class! It was great (the girls were too!) We made a fun Father's Day game pack using the Jackpot DSP and the Star Brads.
Each of the kids made a little box to hold their checker pieces, "me and dad" checker pieces using the All in the Family Stamp Set, a card, a checkerboard and a gift bag. The kids also took home all their extra paper and brads to continue creating if they wanted!
As soon as Adam opened up the game he and Mark got right to it! They had lots of fun playing, although I don't think Adam had much mercy on Mark:)
Emma made a super cute tie at school for Adam and a great card (you can see the tie on Adam in the little "family" picture).
Hope you have a great day! Thanks again for the overwhelming response to the Simply Babies online class! I am so excited and you are going to FREAK out when you see some of the projects I've started:)
Happy Friday to you! I hope you have had a fantastic week. It's been a long one here, but still productive and good (I think.....:) Today's post is two fold. I am announcing the beginning of a NEW online class that is beginning on July 1st and will run for 20 days (but will be available for months!) AND a video tutorial on the little brag book I had posted on my blog the other day!
Let's start with the news! I'm excited to announce to you my NEW online class! I thought this would make a REALLY fun class (that could be easily modified to other themes other than babies:) since I'll be making a ton of baby things this summer! My brother and his wife are expecting this summer, I have three downline and myself all expecting this fall within a month of each other SO baby is on the brain and will be created!!!!!
Here are the details:
If you are an SU demo(or not, you don't have to be:), know someone that is pregnant, have children, have grandchildren....or just plain old like children then this class is for you! Actually, the ideas in this class can EASILY be modified for any theme and any stamp sets!
It is going to be a similar format to the Simply Punches classes. There will be a post everyday for 20 days. Each of the posts will be a project....not simply a card, or a box, but rather something you could use as a class, as a gift or to create for yourself! If you click on the class planner link on my side bar, this will give you an idea of what you can expect. Each day will be similar to one class planner in size and quality of the project (I know and for only $20!!!!) Each project will have a PDF and a corresponding video with tips and tricks!
Some of the projects that will be included are: birth announcements, brag books, memory journals, 3D gift giving ideas for baby, mom, dad and siblings(with the Big Shot or punches), home decor, scrapbooking and SO MUCH MORE!
This class will run from July 1st to July 20th. The invitations will be sent out on the eve of July 1st for you!
If you are not familiar with my online classes here is a summary of the format:
you register for the class via Pay Pal (or email me privately if you prefer another option)
on July 1st (or after if you sign up later) you will receive an invitation from me to join my online class
you click on the Join Now option, complete the registration and then I approve you to the course
each day you visit the website there will be a new project and a new video for you to check out (this site is password protected)
you can save all the PDFs or print them off for future reference
the online site (or as I say, classroom) will be available for you to go to until the end of October)
So for only $20 you will receive 20 projects, 20 PDFs, 20 videos, an online gallery of photos for you to share, a few chats and SO much more! Hope you can join the fun!
As an example of a project that could be shared, I created a video today for the brag book shown on my blog a few days back (this is NOT one of the Simply Babies projects, but I want to give you an idea of what to expect)
I do appologize that this sample has been made using retired papers, ribbon and even In Colours:) My brother is expecting a little girl in July so I thought this would be perfect for him! The dimensions and layouts would be identical no matter what product you use.
I will suggest (but quite frankly it can be used for whatever!) the lines on the left be for journaling or jotting down those "big moments". The envelopes can hold doctor's notes, photos, receipts or anything that they feel are important to their little munchkin!!!!
I hope you like the creation and will consider joining in the fun on Simply Babies! Check out the video below for more details.
Happy Thursday to you! I hope you are having a great week so far. I wanted to give a quick update on the status of the punch books. For those of you that have paid for your books, my goal is to have them shipped on June 24th. I do appologize that this is 4 days later than my projected deadline. However, with the 12x12 Whisper White cardstock on back order earlier this month, I am about 2 weeks behind schedule. BUT I am pulling extra hours to try and get them out to you ASAP. If this time frame does not work for you please email me privately and I will be happy to refund your money. I will send out a personal email to you next week to let you know that your order has been shipped. Thanks so much for your understanding and patience.
These pages were from the 2 Sweet Simply Scrappin' Kit as well. Love the colour combinations of Kiwi Kiss, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum and Basic Gray...YUMMY!!!!!
The journaling for these photos will be done on the lined adhesive. This layout is so quick and easy and can accomodate a lot of pictures! Hope you like it! Enjoy your day!
Thank you so much for the overwhelming emails and comments on yesterday's post. I will for sure either do a video or a step by step for you in the next few days on how to make the sweet little creation, thanks!
I really love this Simply Scrappin Kit....2 Sweet! The colours are really pretty and it has great embellishments included in the kit. I love how the border strip can act as a title as well.
These photos are from Emma's 7th birthday (look how tiny Nathan was!) For her family birthday we went for a hike and then had a picnic lunch. So this summary of photos is of Emma, our day and of course the birthday celebrations! I will add journaling on the "lined" pieces of DSP to reflect on the day as well.
Hope you are enjoying your week...you're halfway through:) It's rainy and a bit dreary here, but sometimes these days are great and give us the "excuse" to stay in and stamp! See you tomorrow!
Well, I have to say I had a FABULOUS day yesterday! Thank you so much to all the amazing women that came to my stamp camp yesterday afternoon and evening! I have to say I'm impressed with your response to my challenge (I've already had two cards submitted:)
This is a modified version of one of the projects we made last night. I got this idea from Regionals, from my upline Alicia. It's a lot of fun and could be used for SO MANY things! This one was made at Emma's birthday party with her friend, and we scrapbooked photos in this package.
The inside of this holder has three long envelopes that flip down and can hold cardstock or photos......
Don't you just love that title! This is for all my Canadian friends! I want to start off by thanking each of you for an amazing Stampin' Up! year. I have LOVED having so many of you in my home and teaching classes, hosting workshops and just having fun! (If you are coming to my stamp camp today, this special will apply to your order today!) Another fun part of my job has been getting to know YOU through my personal blog or my online classes. Thanks for becoming an important part of my stampin' life!
As a thank you to you, (sorry Canadians only, although I appreciate all of you!) I am offering a ONE DAY SALE. Today, Monday June 15th from 9 am until Tuesday June 16th at noon (okay it's a little more than one day...) I am offering catalogue price NO shipping, NO taxes! As I'm sure you've heard the SU prices are increasing with the next catalogue so this is a GREAT time to stock up on your consumables (paper, ribbon, buttons, brads etc) OR get any of the retiring merchandise before it's too late!
Here's how it works. If you are local, you can place an order of any amount you wish. If you require direct shipping to your house, your order must be a minimum of $50. If your order exceeds $200 you will also receive the hostess benefits and hostess stamp sets. Please email me directly to take advantage of this special as I have to "ring" it in specially and it can't be done through my demonstrator website!
Again, thank you for an amazing year and I look forward to another one!
Happy Sunday to you! Hope you've enjoyed a restful and relaxing weekend! Ours was crazy busy but in a great way....the kitchen is coming together! Our "countertop" guy is coming on Tuesday, and it should be installed within a week or so and then we are pretty well done! I am SO excited!!!!
In between all of the kitchen "stuff" I had some time to prep for my stamp camp tomorrow. (If you're interested in coming I have a few extra kits cut....class is from 1 to 4 or 6 to 9...come when you can!)
I had to use Wild About You one last time before we have to part ways. This little giraffe is the perfect baby stamp set...it's great for other things too, but I love to make a baby card with it. The colours on this card are Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. Hope you like it!
Make sure you check back tomorrow (Monday) for my ONE DAY HUGE SALE!!!!! I'm so excited to end the SU year with a bang before we bring in the new catalogue in July! See you tomorrow!
OK, I'm not one for showing sneak peeks because there are so many amazing products that are leaving us BUT I couldn't resist! I opened my box of SU goodies and this paper SCREAMED, "USE ME!!!!" So, how could I say no?
This stamp set is absolutely adorable and my boys (yes, even Nathan) went nutty when they saw it! Isn't it sweet yet still boyish, but even older boyish (wow, that's some great use of the english language:) Anyhow, before I could crash last night I needed to have a few minutes of "me" time to create and wind down so this is what I came up with. And what's too funny.....I'm using the word Boyish and I used Melon Mambo (aka pink). Emma has a birthday next weekend though and she thought her friend would love this little guy and think the greeting is funny!
The circles were cut with my circle cutter and the edges were done with the 1/2 inch circle punch....okay enough of the sneak peek info! See you tomorrow!
This is one stamp set I am FOR SURE going to miss! I love it! I love it for all occasions, manly cards, baby cards and just because cards. You can do so much with each of the animals, like faux stitching, tie die or just plain ol' stampin'!
This card is the same layout as what I used the other day on the ice cream sundae card. The colours are Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette and Baja Breeze (remember you only have 19 more days to get these colours, reinkers and stock up on papers:)
The ear was stamped in Baja, cut out and then popped up using dimensionals. The YUMMY felt flowers will be retiring as well. I hope you're having a great week and I'll be back tomorrow!
Happy Wednesday to you! I have been receiving some emails about my preassembled punch books I have for sale. I wanted to give you all a quick update. The 12x12 Whisper White cardstock has been on back order. SO, as it stands right now I have 10 of the creations punched (waiting for the white cardstock) and will be starting on the other ten shortly. Not having the Whisper White has put me back a bit in time but I will email you once they are ready for shipping. Also, I have stopped taking orders ONLY for the time being. I am going to get these books finished, create some extras and I will sell those online around the 20th of this month.
Have a great day! Thanks for your understanding and I"ll be back later with a creation for you!
I think I go into full scrapbooking mode once a new catalogue is around the corner. I like to use up my current DSP so it gives me the justification to *need* more when the catalogue comes....bad I know! Anyhow, the fastest way to use up these papers is through scrapbooking! I love mixing up the designs and packages a bit as well.
For this page I used Barely Banana and Kiwi Kiss. The DSP is all Kiwi Kiss. One is from the Kiwi Kiss package of DSP, the other is from Walk in the Park (in the current mini catalogue) and the last is from Urban Garden DSP. I cut them using my Creative Memories wave cutter. The brads are 5/16 in Chocolate Chip. I stitched the Barely Banana layer onto Kiwi Kiss 12x12 cardstock. The letters are from a chipboard set (forget the name) and stamped using linen background and Chocolate Chip ink. I have since journaled on this page and I just wrote one line above the wavy upper edge. Hope you like it! Have a GREAT day!
Last June Adam and many friends spent far too many weekends working on our back patio. The best part was renting a little digger. Mark was SO happy in the digger and "drivng" it with Adam and moving some dirt around. I love the photos to the right of the biggest one, it shows Mark's true emotions and excitement!
This page was done using the Taste of Textiles 12x12 cardstock. This Kraft sheet looks like it's corrugated. The DSP is from the Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin' Kit and the carstock strips and ribbon are both Tangerine Tango. I did a little bit of journaling on the curly label punch and hand wrote "the big" above DIG on my finished page. DIG was done using the Serif Alphabet for my Big Shot. I also randomly placed the eyelets on the page.
Hope you like the page and have yourself a WONDERFUL Monday (even though it's raining:)
Today's post is going to be a bit gushy, so be prepared! Last night was such an AMAZING evening! Jodie hosted our "Stampin' Up! year end BBQ" for my Simply Stars Stampin' Up! team! Thank you Jodie (who successfully avoided all of my photos???) for the use of your house and great hospitality! Thank you to my team for bringing such YUMMY treats! I am so lucky to be surrounded by a terrific bunch of ladies! I wish all my downline lived closeby and were able to attend, but unfortunately this isn't the case. But each of my team members are a valuable member and I'm always so excited when I get together with my team because we have so much fun together! Thanks ladies!!! We were in no shortage of food last night, the snacks, dinner and desserts were so good! Belinda (the one in the top row photo with me beside the cake) made this fantastic cake for the BBQ using our Simply Stars logo! Isn't that just too fun!?!?!? It looked (and tasted) AMAZING! For the BBQ, I made a little treat bag thanks to each of the girls that came (bottom right) from the Big Shot and of course they held a little bit of chocolate!
Martha (gray sweatshirt in the middle) asked if she could be in charge of the make and takes. I'm not one to disagree so she came up with the sweetest chapstick holder butterfly projects.....is it not too sweet???? The butterflies are from the Big Shot using the Bella Rose DSP. There is one on the front and one on the back of the chapstick holder. Wouldn't this be so sweet for a party favour for a birthday or even a shower? It could even work for a baby shower! Possiblities are endless!!!
Well, thank you so much ladies to ALL my Simply Stars (those that were in attendance and those that couldn't come) I appreciate all you do and am very thankful to have you on my team! Have a great day!
I think this has to be my favourite hostess set from the current catalogue! So much so that I may not even sell mine when I do my next retired stamp sale!!! That doesn't happen very often:) I really like the ice cream sundae and again so many of the verses....I love having a great selection of words to choose from!
We made this card in my card class the other night. I LOVE the Rock-a-billy DSP and will miss it TONS!!!! The colours, the texture, the skulls!!!! Too fun! The picture was coloured in using the blender pens and ink pads (okay, I'm sure many of you have seen it by now but GUESS WHAT......the next series of In Colours.....we can get the markers!!!!! Sorry, I'll calm down!)
Anyhow, I hope you have having a great start to your weekend!
Supplies: Kiwi Kiss CS, Riding Hood Red CS, Basic Black Ink, Goody Goody Gumdrops Stamp Set, Vintage Brads, Rock-a-billy DSP, Blender Pen and ink pads, Whisper White CS, Basic Black CS, Dimensionals
I am going to miss this stamp set! I haven't used it as much as I would have liked to but I really enjoy it when I do! My brother goes by the name "Uncle Buzzy" so this set was perfect to make cards for him. I like it because you can make it into a manly card, a kid card or just a whatever card.....a very versatile set!
The colours on this card are Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. I am SO going to miss the Pacific Point! It's the same colour as my mom's car and it just makes me so happy!!!!
I hope that your week has been a great one! It's Friday (YAY!!!!) I'm so excited, I have my "year end" BBQ with my Simply Stars team tomorrow night and that will be SO much fun!!! I hope you have something special planned for yourself this weekend! Take care.
Supplies: Pacific Point CS, Chocolate Chip CS, Good Morning Sunshine DSP, Chocolate Chip 5/8 Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper Piercer and Mat Pack, Large Star Punch, Small Star Punch, Just B Stamp Set, Pacific Point Ink, Dimensionals
I really like this stamp set. It is so sweet and has some wonderful greetings in it. This is one of the cards we are making for my 8 card class tonight...can't wait to see all you wonderful ladies!
The layout was copied from a card on Heather Nichols blog, Pine is Here. If you've not been to her blog before she is a very talented stamper. I love her work (she uses lots of crafts), she has wonderful photos and just seems like a lovely person! I fell in love with a card she had made using a similar layout so I copied it for class!
Have a wonderful day!
Supplies for this card: Rose Red Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Basic Brown Ink, A Little Birdie Told Me stamp set, White Craft Ink, Buttons, Chocolate Chip DSP, Corner Rounder
That's right...I had to sew on a scrapbook page! It was TOO Much fun! I love the effect and am loving my Pixie machine! (thanks again Annie P!)
This page was fairly quick and easy to put together. I created the page on the Taste of Textile Kraft Paper (looks like it is corrogated paper). The punch in the upper corner is the tag punch with a chocolate chip cord button. I then stitched around the outside edge in brown thread. The blue ribbon was then laid on the page and sewn on. Then I attached the 5x7 photo (on a 5 1/8 x 7 1/8 mat) Then I stiched on the dotted ribbon, attached the smaller photo and then used the rub ons from the level three hostess set to finish off the page. Hope you like it!
Supplies: Taste of Textile 12 x 12 cardstock, Close to Cocoa ink and sponge, Tag Punch, Chocolate Chip Corduroy Button, Linen Thread, Valet Ribbon Originals (YUMMY!), Chocolate Chip cardstock, Level Three hostess set that includes the rub ons
Hoppy Tuesday! What a beautiful day we have here! The sun is shining, my kitchen floor is coming along beautifully and we're all healthy and happy...who could ask for anything more? OK, maybe a little bit of stamping time as well:) I'm excited for my demos only scrapbooking night tonight...good thing the company will be fabulous since the house will be a disaster:)
Well, you guessed it...more sewing! I love the Pixie! It's too fun and too easy. I've had this stamp set for a while now and not used it until this card! I'm not sure what I was waiting for as it is such a sweet little set! The card is also very basic but enough. The colours are Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip. The greeting is stamped on one of my favourite punches...the key tag that is RETIRING!!!! WHAAAAAA!!!! I love this punch! Oh well, there will be more, right?
Well, I hope you have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
I think I was telling you a week or two ago about how vinyl crazy I have become! I love it! It's a quick and easy "fix" or "freshen up" for a space. Mark really wanted his name on his door so I surprised him with this skateboarder and his name. The skateboarder is the large SU vinyl and then his name I cut out of the Basic Gray raw vinyl from SU. It's tough to see the difference in the photo but you can see the difference between the black and the gray when you're looking at it. Mark was so excited about this (as was I!)
I've attached the retiring Home Decor line for you to see as well!!!! There is a TON retiring!!!!
Can you believe it??? It's June 1st (it's 3 am) and the Going Going Gone lists are up! (the retiring stamp sets AND accessories!!!) I was surprised to see the accessories were listed as well! Now remember, the accessories are first come first serve so don't miss out!!!
If you'd like to place an order with me for any of these supplies (hello, they are retiring the ABC wheel, Upper and Lower Alphabet and the matching pictures....THE perfect teacher sets....sorry about my little rant:) please either email me privately at adamsum@yahoo.com or click on THIS LINK to shop directly on line! Thanks so much!
I am so excited to let you all know what a successful evening we had on Friday night for our local area Food Bank! I have my "lovely ladies" (customers and downline) to thank for being so generous, not only in giving up your time, but for bringing donations, purchasing raffle items and just being plain old fantastic!!!
With about 30 people in attendance we were able to raise just over $300 in cash and 248 pounds of non-perishable food items! That is amazing! Yesterday, Mark and I went and dropped off the donations to the food bank and they were so appreciative and touched. So thank you!!!! THIS is exactly why I have the best job in the whole wide world!!!! Thank you for being a part of this!
I also thought I'd post on my blog today that I have 5 extra kits if anyone is interested in purchasing a kit (with instructions) to make these 10 cards and a box using rub ons. I can ship it anywhere in Canada. Have a wonderful day! I'll be back later with a post!
Seriously, I'm addicted! I love this whole sewing on paper deal (had to clarify that because if Adam thinks I'm sewing his clothes.....:) Anyhow, I thought a baby card with stitching would be sweet.
This uses the stamp set Cute adn Cuddly (just what it is!) The bear is coloured in with So Saffron and on the watercolour paper it looks like velvet. I sewed on the ribbon as well as the cardstock. The buttons are from the two "special" button packs (Button Latte and ....the other one:)
I have my dear friend Annie P to blame (I mean thank) for this one! About once a month the two of us do a late night Walmart run (doesn't that sound so secretive??) Well, it's a fun time to chat, do a little shopping and get out of the house after the munchkins are in bed. So we went earlier this week and of course I had my list.....well, do you think the Pixie sewing machine was on my list....NO!!!! But I couldn't resist and I am SO happy! What took me "sew" long to join the world of sewing on cards??? I love the effect!!!
This is the first card I put together. I sewed on both the DSP and the ribbon to the card front. I LOVE these two stamp sets I used as well....Live with Passion (what a great name) and Great Friend from the mini catalogue. The butterfly wings are popped up and the bodies were made using vanilla flat beads from the Pretties kit.
Hope you like the card! Looking forward to seeing many of you tonight at the fundraiser! Take care.
Happy Thursday Morning to you! Thanks for stopping by! I've had some of you asking me what a stamp camp is and what we'll be making. So, I thought I'd share one of the projects with you. The way I run the stamp camp at my house is different than a class. I have 5 to 6 stations set up around the main floor of my house, and you rotate at your own pace from station to station. The purpose of a stamp camp is to expose you to lots of different ideas and techniques. The projects also vary from camp to camp.
At this stamp camp (Monday June 15th from either 1 to 4 or 6 to 9:30....pick the time that works best for you - projects will take about 2 hours to complete) we will be making a tile coaster, a mini album (perfect for an end of the year teacher gift or a thank you for photos for the upcoming summer season!), 4 cards and a BONUS project! You get all of this for a $30 order! If you bring a friend to the class that hasn't attended a stamp class with me before you'll receive an additional $10 in product FREE from me! AND to make the night even more fun there will be a HUGE sale offered!!!! Hope you can make the fun event. Please email me at adamsum@yahoo.com if you're interested.
Now, I can't take credit for this project. My good friend, Kimberly Van Diepen, had this on her blog and I blame her ENTIRELY for having to buy the Stampin' Up! stencils (thanks Kimberly!) This is so much fun! The pattern on the tile is done with a Stampin' Up! stencil (found in the home decor brochure), some craft ink and clear embossing powder! Isn't this pretty? Can't wait to have you join in the fun on the 15th!
What a great few days! Thanks to each of you for your super great responses and excitement about the punch books!! They will be fun and I am SO excited to share some of my new creations. I'll let you in on a little secret...I can't sleep at night because I just keep thinking about punches:) Love it!!!!
Well, as you know Emma had the chicken pox last week so we had to postpone the birthday party. Her birthday party is now this weekend (let's hope for sunshine) She really wants to have a "cook out" dinner with her friends...pie irons, s'mores and so many other yummy, gooey treats! So as part of her birthday favours we made these little packages up for her friends....something a little different (but yummy!!!!)
We have chocolate, marshamallows and graham crackers (along with the recipe) in the box!
You guys are way too sweet! After receiving three email requests this weekend and giving it some thought...the answer is YES!!!! Julie was the first to email me a link to Angie's Blog where she has samples of punched animal creations done in a book format. So Julie asked if I would be willing to do two things...#1. Offer it as a class and #2. Offer it as a finished book! So the answer to both of these questions is YES!!!!
The book will include 20 of these detailed sheets demonstrating how to make 20 different punched creations. 10 of the creations will be brand new (not seen on any of my Simply Punches classes or on my blog). The other 10 will be selected from past creations I have made (no more than 4 creations will come from one of the Simply Punches classes)
Here are the details:
Option #1. CLASS
Saturday June 20th
9:30 to 1:00
Cost: $40
What's Included?: 20 pages of punched creations, 6x6 linen scrapbook, Black Stampin' Write Marker, 2 Way Glue Pen, snacks and coffee/tea/water!

Option #2. FINISHED BOOK
Orders must be in to me by Saturday June 6th. I will order all the necessary supplies and books on Saturday June 6th. The books will be ready for pick up or shipping by Friday June 19th.
Cost: $40 (for pick up) or $50 (for shipping)
What's Included?: 20 pages of punched creations WITHOUT the hand written labels of each punched creation, a PDF emailed to you with the finished photo of all pages so you can write in your punches needed.

This morning I decided I wanted to make a little something for Roy, our next door neighbour. He's "the neighbour" eveyone loves to have. He owns every tool imaginable, always has that little something you need to finish off a job and is just always willing to help. Yesterday I think we borrowed about a million and one things from him so I just wanted to say a quick thanks to him. So, I came up with this little tool box treat box. He LOVES chocolate (especially Smarties) so I filled the box with Smarties for him and thought the tool box was appropriate.
The box is done using the Box #2 for the Big Shot. The stamp set is the super cute tool one in the catalogue. The "handle" is made with a word window and the latch part on the front is done using the label punch. I punched it out first, then put it back in the punch from the side to shorten it. Then used the silver brads to fasten it on. The saw was stamped on Watercolour paper then coloured in with straight markers. I cut the inside out with the hobby blade. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and I'll see you again tomorrow!
Happy Saturday to you!!! I hope that all is well for you this weekend! The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day here! Emma and I made a new garden out front (for those of you that don't know...I'm not much of a green thumb), moved some plants and even bought a few baskets (seriously, that's how out of touch I am with gardening....my goal is to keep to potted plants alive this summer...wish me luck!)
Last night I though of this card and sat down to make it in a 20 minute window I had! I am thrilled with the final look of the card. I used the stamp sets Wagon Full of Fun (I hope it makes the new catalogue!) and Live with Passion (LOVE this set!) It's fun to mix sets when making a card!
The duck is stamped in Staz On ink then watercoloured with markers and the aqua painter. The wing was done seperately then popped out using a dimensional. I then stamped the first amount of grass right over the duck, and then masked the duck so the grass was behind it on the other part. The greeting was done using a stamp from the Wagon Full of Fun set, I simply put the two words on two lines and then punched it out with my tab punch.
Can you believe that it's Friday? Where has the week gone??? I'll give you a bit of an update (thanks for those of you that have emailed to ask!) Emma and Mark are in the clear with the chicken pox. Emma went back to school today but Mark "needed" another day (yes, I'm a sucker!) I don't mind though. He and Nathan had lots of fun playing together this morning outside (I've included a few photos to share with you.)
The driveway is so pretty (can you say that about a driveway?) The cement is poured and is setting. So ladies, there isn't any driving on it until next Thursday so for my Monday night class, we have to park around the corner (sorry about that!)
And the kitchen....we'll it's a work in progress and I'll let you know as we get closer to completion:)
On with the card...the real reason you've visited today! This is a card I made for Emma this week while she's been home. She really wanted to be at school this week so I made her this card to cheer her up.
The card is Certainly Celery, Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black. The Turquoise background was done using the Big Shot texture plate (tip - spray your paper with water first to get a nice impression!) The skull was stamped on Whisper White and Tempting Turquoise then cut out. The circles were done using my circle punches. Punch the smaller circle first, then the larger circle around the punched out smaller circle to create a ring. The Basic Black circle was cut out using the circle cutter.
The glitter on the card was done with some Dazzling Diamonds I dyed last year. It's very easy to dye your glitter, a few drops of water, a few drops of reinker and shake it up in a container of glitter (I used about 1/4 of a container) Let the glitter air dry, then fluff it as the glitter wants to clump together and VOILA, you have coloured glitter!
The Black circle, the skulls and the eyes are all popped out using dimensionals. Hope you like the card and maybe even a little bit of sunshine today!
Well, it's not a typical birthday around here but that's okay! Between chicken pox (which are healing up and the kids are "fine"), a driveway being installed and a drywaller here in the kitchen it's anything but normal! Emma is happy nonetheless which is great and so we're going to have a great day!
I can't believe Emma is nine today! My goodness where does the time go? She is growing into such a nice young lady and we're having lots of fun with her (right now:) Anyhow, this is the birthday card my mom made for Emma! Yes, I know, over the top and crazy but AMAZING!
The card is a gatefold card (meaning it opens in the middle along that perfect scalloped seam!) It's really a card that utilizes the Big Shot VERY WELL! The flowers on the front and in the inside are all with the Big Shot and then of course the texture plates are used as well!
Hope you like the card! Have a wonderful day!
Oh, some of you have asked about Simply Punches ... Yes, the first two classes are still available. I am currently sold out of the DVDs but I will do another run of them at the end of Simply Punches Three. Thanks for asking!
I am so excited to share some great news with you today! Upon many requests and emails (thank you so much!) I am going to run a Simply Punches Three class starting on June 1st! If you're not familiar with my online classes, here are the details:
All of the projects are demonstrated on a password protected website that you have access to for the next four months....so you work at your own pace!
This online class is 20 days long.....one project is posted each day!
You will receive 20 PDFs that you can use for personal use or your classes if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. On each PDF is a complete supply list for the punched creation, the object the punched creation is on (card, 3D item ect.), step-by-step instructions and a photo. This PDF can be printed off and stored forever!
Each project also has a video demonstrating how to complete each of the creations!
There is an online gallery to showcase the beautiful work of everyone in the class.
We will also have 2 chats during this 20 day class!
Here is a sample of what a project could be. This lion is demonstrated on the video and I've also included the PDF for you to see how to create this project. The PDF and video shown on my blog today are just like what I do on my online class.
So, now you may be wondering how to register for this class.
Option #1. ANYONE from ANYWHERE can sign up for this class! Simply click on the Pay Pal link below, pay the $20 (in CDN funds so my US friends it works out cheaper than $20 for you!) and you'll be sent an invitation on June 1st!
Option #2. If you are Canadian, you can place a minimum $30 order with me between now and June 1st and receive this class absolutely free! If you place an order of $50 or more, you'll receive a DVD free as a thank you that will have all 20 videos on it for you to keep! (I can only sell product to Canadians but remember ANYONE can join this class!)
Hope you can join in the FUN of Simply Punches Three!!!
I just love a great Spring day and today is one of those! The sun is shining, the mama robin is feeding her little babies outside our window and the air is so fresh!!!! The only glitch (beyond the kitchen:) would be that my kids have the chicken pox!!! Can you believe it? I can't...I'm still shocked and am hoping maybe, just maybe, it's a reaction to something and they'll go away as quickly as they came! I'm okay with it but for them I feel bad! The crazy thing is that Emma had the vaccination for the chicken pox and still has a fairly "wild" case of them...how nutty is that!?!? Apparently 10 to 20% of children can still get it if exposed even if they have had the vaccine. Oh well, looks like nice weather for the upcoming week of children home and no functioning kitchen:)
Onto the card......I had a lot of fun watercolouring this one! I first coloured in the image using only my Earth Elements markers. Then using an aqua painter, I blended all the colours together. This set is just too fun and I REALLY hope it makes the next catalogue!!!! If not, remember, it's only available until the end of June!
*ATTENTION DEMOS COMING TO MY CLASS ON MAY 19th, I AM RESCHEDULING THIS CLASS UNTIL A LATER DATE AS MY KIDS HAVE THE CHICKEN POX AND I DON'T WANT TO INFECT ANY OF YOU. I'M SENDING OUT AN EMAIL SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE INFORMATION*
Well, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your holiday Monday! Take care and I'll check back in tomorrow!
