Stocking Builder punch

2011-12-24T13:01:00.000-08:00

Stocking Builder punch

I cannot believe it but Stampin' Up! has just announced that the Stocking Builder punch will not be carried over in any of the next catalogs. I was really bummed about this due to the fact it was a popular punch and very versatile.

If you haven't gotten it yet and thought you could get it later, you may want to order it now before it's gone! SU says that once the current supply is depleted it will not be available for purchase. Go here to order it online.

It makes me wonder if the Stitched Stockings stamp set will be discontinued too. This is a wonderful stamp set that matches the punch. I love this stamp set because it has male socks as well as female socks included in the set! I love this set!

Here's a card that I cased. I forgot who did this but it is a wonderful clean and simple card. I used it in one of my Christmas card classes and they loved the fresh look!

Muffin tin advent calendar

2011-12-12T09:40:00.000-08:00

Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen??? It was so much fun to make and I loved how it turned out! This is just a mini muffin tin.

Here is a picture of the cover off the muffin tin. You can add chocolate, a wonderful holiday note, my favorite jewelry, or anything else you choose. This will hang on your walls.

I punched out:
24 - 2 3/8 scallop circles
24 - 1 3/4 scallop circles
24- 1 3/8 circles
The number document I used is here. Print them out on Whisper White card stock. I spaced it so the number would go at the right side as I stamped the Jolly Bingo Bits in Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.
Punch the stamped number out with the 1 1/4 circle punch.

I used SU tombo glue to adhere a strong magnet to the back of the scallop circle. (If you use a magnetic strip, I found they didn't stick to the muffin tin. In other words, they weren't very strong.) I added one magnet on the back of each scallop circle.

The card stock I used was: Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, and Whisper White.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. Have a great day.

Volleyball season is here and I am at a full run going NOWHERE! I have 3 games a week, parent meetings, back to school, and I am not getting in any stamp time. (Thank you for letting me complain!) Before August was over, I decided to make a rotation chart. This has our school colors, magnets that let you rotate the serving order-so the coach can remember who is serving, and extra magnets for other players. The girls really enjoyed this 3D item and love to see there name in the line! :)

Comparing all three scorers

2011-08-22T18:25:00.000-07:00

Stampin up is coming out with a new scoring tool in Holiday mini. It is awesome! (Yes, I have 6 other scoring tools to compare it to!) As I was pandering about how I would sell this scoring tool to my customers, Ann Nelson came out with this wonder article about the comparison of Scor-Pal, Martha Stewart's score tool, and now Stampin' Up!'s tool. She did a great job putting it together in a PDF that I thought was really incredible and gave me the words to share with my customers. Please click here for Ann's thoughtful evaluation of three different scoring tools.

Corner punch video

2011-08-17T11:19:00.000-07:00

At convention I had the opportunity to use the new style 3/16" corner punch and I wish I had this video to view before I used the punch...this makes it sooo easy to use. In my older age, I love seeing a video verses reading how to do it properly. Enjoy!

Early morning coffee

2011-08-12T08:12:00.000-07:00

I love the little label! I am a true believer that we are our best friend and our best enemies. Here is to a great day and great blog friends! Enjoy a cuppa on me! :)

The card opens at the top and you can put a gift card or greeting inside.

On a personal note...

2011-08-07T20:08:00.000-07:00

I celebrated my 29th anniversary on August 1st. It was a low key day but earlier in the year I bought tickets to the Cinerama for $15 which included popcorn and admission for 2. WELL...it was Harry how won the must see movie for the THIRD time...It was so exciting. My first time I saw it was in Salt Lake, we skipped Friday night to see it. I just cried...I love this series and I am sad to see it end! Above is a picture of Jessi and I at the Opening of Harry. Jessi bought 3 wands from a guy selling them. They were wood and really nice!

This was a special night for us and I look forward to many, many more! ILY, sks!

Couple more posts on Convention

2011-07-29T20:14:00.001-07:00

This card is so beautiful. I took a picture of it while I was having lunch one afternoon. One of the best things about swapping is all the ideas you receive. As a good stamper, I love to CASE cards. (Case stands for COPY ANYTHING STAMP EVERYTHING!) This is a great case card. The colors are my favorite and the card is very simple to make.

This is a swap that my roommate Jessi created. It's this beautiful. She is a wonderful artist. I love the colors. Her cards are very sweet and clean.

I encourage all of you to buy handmade card. They are made with love, sweat, and inspiration. Think about putting that out into the world where people are receiving love.

Reminder that there are two more days for becoming a demonstrator and receiving your kit for $99.

Have a good evening.

Still Dreaming of convention

2011-07-27T20:44:00.000-07:00

Here I am in the Memento mall enjoying being away from the rain we are having this summer. Salt Lake was fabulous due to the fact it was warm! I am hoping that the sun is coming out for more than 2 days in a row!
This is one of the decoration they had in the hallways encouraging us to grow our business. I also thought it was important to take a good look within and do some spiritual growing.

This is one of the nicest cards I saw at convention. I LOVE, I MEAN I LOVE this sunflower stamp. The artist did an awesome job!

Here are a couple of bulletin board with cards and scrapbook pages on them. It is so amazing taking pictures of all these bulletin board filled with cards. You have so much respect for all the creators. It is really incredible to be around so much creative energy...I realize, this is what I want to do. Creating cards gives me a sense of peace within, a desire to create wonderful cards, and to encourage others to buy handmade cards!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

convention

2011-07-25T22:22:00.000-07:00

I told myself that I would only attend convention if I was chosen to be a make and take helper. Well....
I was going through my email in May and I was just deleting over 1000 of them with out reading them. (During school my emails can be toooo many and I just can't read them all!) I don't know why I stopped to read this one email...it was from SU telling me I was picked to be a make and take helper. I was so excited and started to safe all my money to go to Salt Lake City! I had a blast. It really was a dream of a life time. I got to walk across the stage for recruiting and it was one of the best things I have ever done. (I would like to that again!)

I went through 7 roommate. Most wanted to save money and go with 5-7 people in a room. I just couldn't do that. (Been there and didn't want to visit again! Only one bathroom!!!!) And I got this wonderful mom of three from Cedar City to room with me! She was just what I needed. We talked a lot, stayed up tooo long, and just really connected on a higher level. Thank you so much Jessi for being the perfect person to be my roommate! Here I am with Jessi right before the Opening session is to begin. The place was pact and we just had so much fun taking lots of pictures.

Before I leave you I will share one of my card I did for the Black and White Swap. I think it turned out great.

Thank you for stopping by!

My 3^rd convention

I can’t believe I am in Salt Lake City for the SU convention. I have been working hard to get all my swaps finished! The next few days I will be showing you my swaps and other swaps I received from this wonderful event.

This is a great place to spend time with like minded woman and men. You just talk, dream, share, swap, and create. It is nothing but a love fest about rubber stamping, wonderful cards, networking, and dreaming of your next project. Sleep isn’t a big priority! Gotta love a big slumber party!

This is the main stage at convention...it's it beautiful. Shelli is on stage looking so cute...OMG, to wear an outfit like that and be a Grandmother!

Here are two swaps I made. They were easy and turned out quite nice.

I am having a blast...my roommate is from Utah. She is cute as a button. (waiting for my phone to send me the picture so I can share her with you.

We both walked across the stage, for the first time. Jessie because this is her first convention and me for my recruit. It was so much fun and OMG the light are soooo bright!

Thanks for stopping by!

SUO Challenges

2011-05-30T18:05:00.000-07:00

On SU only challenge blog, I saw this challenge about May flowers and I thought I could participate in this. Our weather has been so wet, then in 5 minutes we could be having 68 degrees. Kids at school are taking bets if we will have a Spring or jump right into Summer! My response is: we'll see!

I thought I would change my attitude about the weather with creating a great card and hoping for warm weather! Below is the card I created to change my attitude!

Stamps: Fabulous Florets
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Melon Mambo, Daffodil delight, Shimmery White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Daffodil delight ink refills, versa mark
Accessories: Wild Wasabi embossing powder, Melon Mambo retired ribbon, White embossing powder, Framed Tulips embossing folder, Petal-a-Plenty embossing folder, Aqua painter, Frost White Shimmer paint

Tomorrow I will have pictures of the cards I did for my Breast cancer class.

Thank you for stopping by! God Bless all the soldiers who are serving or have served for us.

MDS-LOOK WHAT I DID

2011-05-08T10:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I played with My Digital Studio and I had a blast. I bought MDS about 1 plus ago and thought this isn't for me but I SU had such a great sale on this CD I couldn't pass it by. Then I decided last Christmas to made calendars of our trips for my partners mom...it was such a hit, everyone wanted one including me! So, I made a personal calendar for me and I fell in love this MDS! It is a must have and I don't say that very much...navigating through all the tools can be a little challenging especially when you don't know what you are doing or don't have the patience. But I ask for help and having pictures on my computer, transferring them to MDS is soooo easy. If I can do this program...anyone can! Here is what I did last night.

This is a card front that I made for 4 card front using Strength and Hope stamp set. SU is have a great promotion for Breast cancer.

My Digital Studio

2011-01-12T11:24:00.000-08:00

I have really gotten into MDS. It is fun to sit at the computer and create cards, calendars, and scrapbooks. I have made 2 beautiful calendars...they were fun and ALL MY OWN!

I bought MDS about 1 1/2 years ago. I didn't want to get involved in "anything" with Stampin Up. I kept seeing this wonderful art by other demonstrators and I wanted to give this "MDS" a try. (I didn't even know what MDS stood for...that is how bad I didn't want to give this a try.) I decided to make a calendar for a friend for Christmas. I used pictures of our travels and it was the best gift I gave.

If you want to have a class to learn more about My Digital Studio, please email me. If you have MDS and want more downloads, please here for all the new and old downloads to create wonderful projects for yourself and loved ones!
