Teacher Valentine's

Classmate Valentine's

2012-02-15T05:47:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

These are the projects I made for my children to give to their classmates. I found the idea on Stampin' Connection from Rae Harper of wildweststampin.com . I thought I was doing a good thing by getting the Twizzler's for only $5. My children have informed that most of their classmates don't like them. I could have used the pixie sticks, had I known. Oh, well. I know now. LOL It took me forever to make 72 of these with 5 different size hearts each. My Big Shot is resting well ;)

Happy Valentine's Day

2012-02-14T05:30:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

I am in LOVE with the new Framelits from Stampin' Up!. They are soooo AwEsOmE! I made this box for one of my children's teacher. I used Blushing Bride card stock and ran it through the Big Shot with one of the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates. I then embossed it with a mixture of Dazzling Diamonds and Clear Embossing Powder. I used Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette to make the flower. The sentiment is from a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Outlined Occasions (#126016 clear mount). Oh, yeah.....did you notice that lovely ribbon around the box? That is the Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon, which can be found in the Occasions Mini catalog.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

Empty Case Insert

2012-02-13T05:20:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

Today I thought I would show you the Clear Mount Case that I made the insert for. This is what the finished project looks like. I have been trying to use MDS more. I must admit, I was a bit fearful of the program at first. Now, that I have been using it more I realize what a great tool it is to have. I only wish that I had figured this out sooner.

Hello Hivers,

I am so excited. I have been playing around with My Digital Studio (MDS) and this is what I have created. These are inserts for the Empty Clear Stamp Storage Cases (DVD Cases). Janet over at Remarkably Created has a step by step video tutorial. I only have one problem....I can't choose which design I like best.

2012-01-23T09:35:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

I am in love with the flower from the stamp set Mixed Bunch. It is the Occasions Mini Catalog. I have been playing around with this set for a few days. I will be showing you more projects made with it. Here, I cut 2 petals off the flower to make a butterfly. The Apothecary Art stamp set is becoming one of my favorites. It is so lovely. I just love the way it layers with the Labels Framelits Die.

I also used the new Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the Soft Suede card stock.

Other supplies: Lucky Limeade, Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card stock, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Pearls, Oval and Blossom punch, and various Stampin' Write markers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS

2012-01-19T08:18:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is the card I made for my dear sister. I used the new Labels Collection Framelits Dies and the Apothecary Art stamp set. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Pool Party card stock cut out from the Petal Cone Die and I added a brad from the Designer Printed Brads. For the ribbon I used the Pool Party Seam Binding and Calypso Coral Organdy Ribbon from the Sale-A-Brations catty (starting Jan. 24, 2012). The Everyday Enchantment DSP was layered on Lucky Limeade card stock and Pool Party was used for the base. I just love this card.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KESHIA!

Spice Cake Memory Keeper

2012-01-14T05:39:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

I wanted to share another glimpse into my Stamping Hive. I took this magnetic cork board and covered it with the Spice Cake Fabric. The board was a little larger than I wanted so the fabric did not wrap around the edges very well. As you can see, I covered the edges with ribbon to hide the loose ends. I think it turned out great. This was my first time making a Memory Keeper. I have seen them all over Stampin' Connection and SCS....I just had to try it.

Hello Hivers,

Here is another page from the scrapbook I made for my friend. I CASE'd the design from a card and just made it into a 6x6 page. Allison did a wonderful job on her card. You can view it HERE. I just love elephants and this one is simply adorable.

Baby Girl Scrapping

2012-01-12T05:23:00.000-05:00

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a 6x6 page I made for a friend. Him and his wife are expecting a baby girl next month. This is going to be the first page of the scrapbook I made for them. I love the color combination and the butterflies are just so cute.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

Happy Birthday, Husband

2012-01-11T10:11:00.003-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is the card I made for my Wonderful Husband on his birthday. I love the card style and the Mocha Morning DSP is just awesome. I really like how Stampin' Up! makes everything coordinate so well. I love stamping but I don't want it to be difficult.

I still haven't completed my Stamping Hive, but it is close to being finished. I started a new term in school this past Monday. I hope I can keep up with my stamping. I have an order of the new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog coming in...Today! I will have to make time to play with my goodies and share my projects.

Not Trash

2012-01-06T05:41:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a project that I seen HERE. I thought this was just the best idea. I love it. I don't like the fact that the Linen Thread or Bakers Twine comes on the sheet of cardboard. Using these containers are perfect. I hot glued a set of three together. I haven't used up any ribbon yet, so I don't have the middle piece to wrap the twine around. You can find out all the details by clicking the above link and HERE as well.

Spice Cake Card Keeper

2012-01-05T05:23:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is my other Stampin' Card Keeper. I covered this one using the Spice Cake DSP. My most favorite DSP ever. If you have noticed, in the background of my photos you have seen the Spice Cake fabric. These are objects that will be going on the wall in my Stamping Hive. I love the patterns and colors used for the paper and fabric.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

Card Keeper

2012-01-04T06:21:00.002-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is one of my Stampin' Card Keepers. I have covered it in Mocha Morning Specialty DSP. It looks so elegant. I topped it with a flower using the Fun Flowers Bigz Die and some Soft Suede Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and a brad form the Antique Brads set. The lid on this one is very hard to get on. I should not have taken the DSP all the way up the sides. It would be best to stop the paper just below the lid.

Vintage Gate Fold Wedding

2012-01-03T06:07:00.000-05:00

Hello Hivers,

Just a quick post. Here is another gate fold wedding card like the one I shared yesterday. This one I used all Whisper White card stock. I embossed the panels using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.

Gate Fold Wedding

2012-01-02T05:54:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

I made this card for my son's 4th grade teacher. She was recently married. Dawn has a video on how to create this type of card. The layout is also from one of her cards. I can't remember the name of the Specialty DSP that I used. I sponged it with River Rock. The base and middle oval is from Shimmery White card stock. I just love those little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.

2011-12-31T06:13:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is a card I received from my friend Elaine. She makes some cute cards. I love all the pearls she used. The dear is from the A la Carte stamp called Dasher. It is so pretty.

Kindergarten Christmas

2011-12-30T05:22:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is the tree I helped my daughter create for her kindergarten bulletin board. We had such a fun time decorating it. We used the Stocking Builder, Snowflake and Ornament Punches. For the garland we punched strips of Real Red using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. The tree skirt used the Lace Ribbon Border Punch with the Shimmery White card stock. After adding all the "lights" we spritzed the entire tree with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol.

Sending a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish to my Dear Husband.

Untraditional Christmas

2011-12-28T06:17:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

Here is the final card I mailed out for Christmas this year. I just love these colors together. The Real Red, of course, is a traditional Christmas color, but the Tempting Turquoise is not. This is the same layout as the card I shared on the 23rd of this month. Here I used Early Espresso Quilted Satin Ribbon and the Big Top Birthday DSP.

Christmas Lodge

2011-12-27T06:13:00.001-05:00

Hello Hivers,

This is also one of the designs I used this year for my cards. I cased it from someone, but I can't remember who. I used Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake card stock to recreate this card. The Mini Jingle Bells are tied to the Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and Quilted Satin Ribbon.
