UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

Recipe Box Class with 12 Cards

Wouldn't you love to have this to give away as a gift or to add to your own kitchen?

The class is coming soon:  Monday February 22nd.

I purchased this class from jill Hillard because I thought it was so outstanding.

 

We will make twelve recipe cards:  two for each category.  You can always add more cards.

This class features set #114964 From the Kitchen of, page 126 $29.95

Don't miss out!  Sign up Now!

The class includes 5 pages of easy to follow directions in color, plus all of the pieces cut and ready for you to score, punch, stamp, and assemble!  Again, it will be the box plus 12 recipe cards.   You will, however, have the card stock to make 6 additional recipe cards (18 altogether).  We'll start with 12 and see how our time goes that day. (There are a lot of pieces and a lot of prep time, thus the price.) It goes together pretty easily on your end.  

I will only charge you $10 for each additional gift box set that you would like to purchase.

You may want to consider purchasing the stamp set if you want to make multiples of this project for gifts because you will not have time to stamp all of the recipe cards and tabs here if you choose to buy more than one gift set.

The three punches that you would need to make this project on your own are: #108240 the Round Tab Punch, #112091the  Scallop Edge Punch, and #109047 the 3/16" Corner Rounder.

Add $10 for each extra box that you would like me to prep for you.

Some Birthday Fun!

I have been celebrating for about a week now!

This morning(Saturday) I started out by attending a CABI (Carol Anderson by Invitation) clothes fashion show. We got to see the new Spring/Summer line!  I really like these clothes!

Then tonight Gabe stayed home with the children so that Shelly could take me to an IMAX theater and see Avatar in 3-D!  It was an amazing movie.

Before we left for the movie, I had time to read a few books to the boys while Jaelyn just slept right thought it! The boys are both very proud of their new haircuts.:)

I bought "Old McDonald Had a Farm" for the boys for Christmas.  We sing as we read. Tonight, Joshua wanted to read "Old McFarm".  So we pulled it out!!!:):)

 

Let's try again and get Jeremy to look up!

 

And then when I got home from Avatar, I ate a little piece of Apple Pie. Some of you will remember that it is very dangerous to leave an apple pie home alone with my dad.

I only took a picture after it came out of the oven.  When I got home, there was a little less than 3/4 of the pie left! Whew! Oh yum!!!!

Thank you for sharing in the fun of the day!

"Sending Love" in a Very Special Way!

I learned how to create this fold several years back and then totally forgot about it until recently!

It really creates a "WOW" effect for your project!

You need two pieces of Chocolate Chip card stock that are both 5 1/4"x 4 1/4".

Score each side of both pieces at 1/2" and 1".

Here is another view that will probably help you.

 

Click here for the tutorial from Dec of 2008 showing how to make the flowers.

If you want to make the card, use two 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" pieces of card stock.

Score each end at 1/2" and 1".

Please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Take a look at these scrunchy flowers?

I was talking to my UdderlyAwesome friend, Duana Foster, and she was telling me how much fun she was having making these scrunchy flowers.  She sent me a picture and I copied her idea and then went on to try a few more colors on my own.

Here is her beautiful Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink version.

I added the Polka dot background to her idea.

These would be beautiful on boxes and on scrapbook pages, too!

Look at the end of the sample pictures for pictures on how to make the flower.

Supplies:

Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper(Occasions Mini), Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive card stocks

Long edge scallop punch, small oval punch (leaves) and the #113524 5/16" neutral brads, page 179, polka dot impressions folder from the Occasions Mini.

I decided to try one with the Razzleberry card stock and papers.

Sets:Vintage Vogue, Occasions Mini #111644 Heard from the Heart page 142 $22.95, #111613 Razzleberry Ribbon page 182, #115685 Razzleberry Designer Series Papers, $9.95 page 161

Here was my first idea, which maybe I like the least.  But you have to start somewhere, right?:) But I will show you anyway:). I was trying to match the Pink Flamingo designer series papers.

 

I'll have to say that I Duana's design the best!  It has been so much fun to learn how to make these flowers.  It's quite simple.  Here is what you do:

Use the Circle Scallop Punch and punch out 5 flowers (You could make them smaller or larger in number.) Scrunch up the designer paper or the card stock so that it looks like this:

 

Then when you open up the "flower" you cut into the card stock or paper at intervals of every two scallops, which I forgot to do when I took this picture.  Imagine it:)!!

Then stack up your layers and use the paper piercing tool to add a brad to the center!

They are lots of fun!

I would love to see some of the projects and ideas that you come up with using this idea!

As always, please e-mail me if I can help you in anyway!

Razzleberry makes Beautiful Butterflies!

This morning I started out with a project in mind that just never happened!

So I had a Razzleberry card  partially designed and I decided to texturize the white and add a butterfly and this is what I ended up with:

 

Supplies:

Sets:  #118598 Vintage Vogue page 26 Occasion Mini  $17.95 (Clear mount)  #117072 Well Scripted $19.95 (Wood Mount)

Card stocks and ink:  Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White page 155

Accessories: #118402 Scallop Trim Border Punch (Free with a $50 subtotal order) #112091 Scallop Border Punch page 187 #15.95  #115063 Finial Press Embossing Folder page 195 $7.95 #109114 Pretties Kit $29.95 (includes several hundreds little accessories including the pearls on this card) #114507 Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die page 198 $21.95

I did use #115685 which is the Razzleberry Designer Paper, but you could easily just use the Razzleberry card stock behind the white layer.  The designer paper doesn't show up that much.

I do like the smaller butterfly cut out of the Razzleberry designer paper though.

I laced the three round pearls through wire and then tied the wire in the back of the butterflies.

Please e-mail me  if I can help you in anyway!

Recipes by Design: Here is how the case "unwinds"!

Recipes by Design is in the current Occasions Mini Catalog!

I decided to order it to see what it looked like, but I could never figure out how the stand is suppose to look.  Last Thursday night some of the demonstrators in my group got together and the Recipes by Design was one of the topics of conversation.

We finally figured out how it is suppose to "unwrap" so that it is easy to use!

The recipe card fits into a little groove so that it will not slide down.

There are 64 recipe cards along with little embellishments that you can add to each card which will tell you which ones are your favorite etc!

The material that the box is made out of is slick.  So it would be easy to wipe off it something from your recipe prep were to get onto it.

 

 

When you close it up, it looks like this:

 

This will make a really nice gift or it would also be a great addition to your own kitchen!

The Recipes by Design are available while supplies last only

due to the fact that this item comes from overseas.

Please e-mail me if you have questions or would like to order it.

Joshua, Jeremy, and Jaelyn and Broadway Hits!

Last Friday I took Joshua and Jeremy to Amy's Playground, which is an indoor playground in S Pasadena.  It is a safe and protected place that was a lot of fun!  (I left the umbrella stroller at Shelly's!!!!) If you don't know why that is significant, check out my blog post for January 28th.

Joshua was very independent, of course, but Jeremy had not been before so it was fun getting him acquainted with the different fun things to do!  Here are just a few of what he enjoyed!

Here is big brother, Joshua, back at home holding Jaelyn.

Jaelyn is 2 1/2 weeks old now.  The humorous note to the picture on the left is that once joshua was finished holding Jaelyn for the picture, he was ready to jump down and go play.  So he just let go of her and she went rolling off to the side of the couch!  I was able to catch her before she hit the floor!

I am a very blessed grandmother!!!

And on a personal note, I have had so much fun the last two weekends.  Last Friday, a good friend called up to say that there was a ticket to Riverdance at the Pantages Theater available last minute if I was free that night.  Whoo hooooooooooo!!!  So I went with two couples and had a GREAT TIME!

Then, another friends' mother was suppose to be here to see Mary Poppins with them 29th.  But the mother didn't come.  Would I like to go?  I even got a picture at this one. Dave and I moved into our home here in Duarte in 1978, so close to Hollywood, but we just never went to see the Broadway shows!  (except for Wicked!!!)

Okay.  It's back to work!:)

Thank you for stopping by!

What can you make with fabric, a hot glue gun, and the Big Shot?

Fabric Flower Pins!!!

I just made my first fabric flower pin several days ago!  Oh my word!

They are so much fun to make and very easy, too.

These flowers have been spotted for sale from $16-$40 depending on where you look!

What great gifts!  You choose 4 coordinating fabrics and you are off and running!

The back even looks professional.

We'll be making these in my next Big Shot class.

I am looking at Monday, March 8th  for the class.  I'll confirm it in my next newsletter.

We will be using #115970, the Flower Folds Bigz Die.

You may already have some beautiful fabrics at home that you can use to make these amazing gifts!

Stay tuned!
