10 Days and Counting: Fiji, here we come!

You may think that I was home stamping today.  Think again!

My adorable grandduaghter fractured her elbow over the weekend, so I spent time

with her today.  We read a lot of books!

And I also shopped for clothes that will work for FIJI!:):)

The countdown is on!

Blue Ribbon: Congrats Grad

Here is a somewhat simple idea that would work in so many different color schemes.

• Set:  #125981 Blue Ribbon pg 33;
• Card stocks:  Midnight Muse, Cherry Cobbler, and Whisper White pg 153-156;
• Ink:  Cherry Cobbler;

Coming Soon: New Wood Mount Cases

Take a look at what you can look forward to starting next month!!  Stampin' Up! has redesigned their wood mount stamp set cases.  Now, they are easier to store.

This is a cute, quick video!

 

So this is going to be a way to repackage all of our  wood mounted stamps into cases that stand up like books.  They will take up less space and it will be easy to read the set name on the edge of the case just like the clear mounted set cases!

Personally, I can hardly wait to get them!

And look at all of the other things that you can also store in these cases!

Dapper Dad Vest

I designed this vest to use in my May Stamp Clubs.

Tutorials are available below for how to punch both the top and inside parts to the vest.

You will ready for Father's Day or it will  also make a great card for a birthday!

And here is the inside. I hadn't figured out at this point that you need to use the 1 3/4" punch for the white inside piece for the armholes. 

Here is the Midnight Muse version.

It is too late to get good light, but at least you can see the armholes punches with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch..

• Stamps:  #129198  Dapper Dad pg 14;  #126447 Summer Silhouettes  pg 17.95
• Card Stocks:  Marina Mist and Whisper White pg 154-156;
• Ink:  #126962 Marina Mist pg 154;
• Designer Series Papers (DSP):  #117152  Subtles Collection pg   162( for the top pocket):
• Punches: #119861 1 1/4" circle (arm holes on top of the card)  #119850 1 3/4 Circle (arm holes on the white inside of card);
• #119864 1 1/4" Square (Top of the card); #!99877 1 3/8" Square (white inside of card); #119866 Extra-Large Tag pg 182 (Bottom layer of the pockets);
• Accessories:  #104430 Dimensionals to mount the bow tie and the pockets;  White buttons-I just found them in my cupboard:)  I adhered them with #103683 Mini Glue Dots pg 177;

Notes:

• If you do not own the retired smaller Tag Punch (to punch the DSP top layer of the pocket), just use the Extra Large Tag Punch and cut the piece down a little bit all the way around. 
• The little strip across each pocket is 1/4" wide.

To punch out the top of the vest, just follow the tutorial below.

And  Click Here to print out the tutorial below written out in step by step directions.

Here is the tutorial for the inside white piece.

Have fun!

Stippled Blossoms: a versatile card

I designed this card for my April Stamp-a-Stack  It could say Happy Mother's Day, Happy Birthday or use any of a  number of other greetings.

It is a little hard to notice that the bottom 3" of the card has the stripes folder on it going up and down.

Click here for complete supplies and instructions.

This card is quicker than you might think to make.  You can stamp a number of flowers at one time (three different color combinations).  I cut them out pretty quickly.

Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
