I've been so busy with general life stuff that put me waaay behind in my Christmas Crafting!! I finally managed to squeeze in some time this past weekend and finished my Christmas cards, as well as a few cute stocking stuffers for my nieces. This first project was so easy, but it's my favorite! </div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
This next project was a file from the Silhouette store. I've seen it as a gift card holder, which I may do next year. The back of the tag says, "Hope you're nice." The stamp set was from Stampin' Up.<br />
<br />

Here's a funky gift card holder; the snowflake is on an Action Wobble. LOVE THOSE!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
On to my Christmas cards. I wanted to try a different type of card, and had just learned how to make a Shutter card that was so fun. I used some pretty Stampin' Up paper that I purchased on a whim. I really like how it turned out, but boy was it a lot of work!! Each card called for 1 big snowflake and 2 small ones which had to be stamped, cut, glittered and assembled. I didn't put moch fore-thought into it until I realized I needed over 20 cards. That's 60 snowflakes!!! <br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About halfway into it, I ran out of paper. I placed an order and my heart sunk every day when the mailbox was empty. I got a little nervous that the new stack wouldn't make it in time, so I decided to make a few more different ones using new stamps and paper. The first is a file folder card. This was so much easier to mass produce and I love how it turned out. The second one is using the same stamp set, but on a more traditional card.</div>

I think this is my favorite set...today. I scoured Pinterest for ways of using the set and I hit the jackpot!! There are so many different ways!!! Here are just 2 of the cards I've made:<br />
<br />

<br />
I LOVE the one on the left, with all the different colors; it's such a happy card. However, the mono-chromatic one on the right appeals to my OCD, "don't mix the colors" side. I'm using the one on the right as a Christmas card, which is a major departure for me. I've always said Christmas cards should be red and green. Stampin' Up! has opened my eyes to so many different options. I may be in trouble here!!!<br />

Every week I volunteer at the local animal shelter and this week was no different. This week, however, the staff was even more stressed than normal. I wanted to do something to let them know that they are appreciated. Sooo....<br />
<br />
I started with the Mini Muslin Bags (found on page 36 of the Holiday Catalog), grabbed a black ink pad and a few Halloween stamp sets. Frightening Feline is a retired set, but Delightful Dozens is on page 27 of the catalog. I stamped the images on both sides of the bag, filled them with some Halloween candy, put a piece of orange tissue hanging out the top and tied it closed. Viola! This was such an easy project, but I think it turned out pretty cute. <br />

Join up and we can enjoy this adventure together!!Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865008129865742022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687458178464654497.post-45867386049598513062013-10-07T17:15:00.002-05:002013-10-07T17:15:41.802-05:00Stampin' UpOh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into now?? After months of hemming and hawing, I decided to take the plunge and join the Stampin' Up community. I'll be updating my blog with all new projects made with Stampin' Up products. I love all their products, especially how easy it is to create beautiful cards, layouts and gifts. I have to admit, the OCD in me LOVES how everything coordinates, from the papers to the embellishments, ink pads, ribbons and even stamps. Yup, I am hooked!!! Be sure to check out my Demonstrator page (it's a work in progress) to see why I'm so excited (and a little scared). As soon as I figure this all out, I'll be hosting workshops and classes, so stay posted. In the meantime, if you need anything crafty, please let me know!!

They've been in a small apartment with their big old dog for a few months now and I know they are excited to be in a home again. I wanted to use a new stamp set I just bought and knew this was just the occasion! I used more supplies for this card than any other project!! I'm always amazed at how people can use 3 or 4 different stamp sets on one project. Well, for this card I used stamps from 5 different sets. Wow, that's got to be a record!! The frog, lily and pad came from <span style="color: magenta;">The Stamps of Life</span> "Froggy2love" set. I spritzed some <span style="color: magenta;">Goosebumps Texture Spray</span> on him to make him bumpy, added some google eyes and then popped him on an <span style="color: magenta;">Action Wobble</span>. The lily was stamped with <span style="color: magenta;">Stampin Up</span> Melon Mambo ink, 2nd generation and colored in with chalks. I think it turned out so pretty. I also folded the edges up so that it's coming off the paper. The little fish at the bottom are from <span style="color: magenta;">Close To My Heart</span> "Noah's Parade" stamp set that I've had forever but never used. oops. The "Congrats" was from a mini stamp set I had at the bottom of my drawer and the rest of the title came from another Close To My Heart mini alphabet set. I thought it needed another critter, so I stamped a butterfly in each corner from yet another mini stamp set. I should have left well enough alone, because I hate them!! Maybe I can figure out some way to cover them up. Knowing me, I'll just trash it and make a new one.<br />

I have so much stuff, I have bought duplicates (more than once) because I simply forgot I already owned said items. And don't even ask me how many different die cutting systems I own. That said, I decided I really don't need everything in my stash. So...I decided to start with my different Cricut machines. If you are interested in anything, let me know. I will be adding more sale items as I make my way through my craft room. Here's the first round:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This afternoon I ventured back into the <strike>pit</strike> craft room after almost a week. I had to do some major cleaning from the last time I was in there and it was like Christmas. Do you ever discover things you've had but forgot about? Um, yeah, me too. I found a ton of old Cricut vinyl in a rainbow of colors just sitting under a pile of cardstock, that I'll use some day...if I don't loose it again. Anyway, I was wondering how the Cameo would cut Cricut vinyl, as if the brand made a difference. I played with different designs before deciding on a Fleur de lis. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Because it was too big to put on any of my water bottles, I decided my car, Franz, needed a little Cajun Pride. I think it looks cute on the window. I had to put it on the outside of the window because I didn't flip the image. I'll have to see how long it lasts against the Houston summer.</span></div>

</div>
<br />
I am in a monthly card swap group that has a different theme each month. Let me tell you, these are some REALLY talented ladies!! Most of my cards fall well short of the other creations, but the ladies are so supportive and patient with my skills. I like to think I am getting better, but who knows. The theme for the month of June is Bookmarks. We are to make 2 different bookmarks, any theme/style/design. At first I really struggled until I turned to good old Pinterest. I found the cutest card and wanted to downsize it to a bookmark. Well, as usual, my vision was a bit ambitious and I had to revamp the design. Here is the first one, a beach theme:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1QW58Bwiqe0/UaoIt0-z-_I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/laZ8t16fR3c/s1600/Beach+Bookmarks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1QW58Bwiqe0/UaoIt0-z-_I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/laZ8t16fR3c/s320/Beach+Bookmarks.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the Cricut Cartridge Life is a Beach for the chair and umbrella. I also used the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge for the book. Finally, the sunshine came from Doodlecharms. Everything I make has to have some bling, so I blinged out the sun with some Diamond Stickles. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the second bookmark, I found inspiration in a Moroccan lantern I made with a SVG cut from the Silhouette store. Here is the lantern:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I put one of those electric tea lights in the center and love how looks at night. In order to make it into a bookmark, I had to do a lot of cutting and resizing of the pattern. After it was cut, I decided it was too flimsy, so I cut a contrasting color for backing. Here is the end product:<br />

She provided a sketch to follow and even included a <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzfqDZcTV2KMeDFBWC1JYVpUbDQ/edit" target="_blank">tutorial</a>. How cool is that?! The rules are:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> Here's your Mashup Challenge:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I created a set of cards using the sketch, so I did a "true" mashup. Here is my take on the sketch:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These were so easy and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Check out her page to see the other participants. It's really cool to see how different they are, even though it's the same sketch!! </span></div>

I've used both the round shaped and heart shaped cups and I don't know which I like better. A while bac</span><span style="font-size: large;">k, I the heart shaped cups on major sale and I bought, like, 12 packs of them. Now I wish I would have bought the same number of round cups too! The possibilities are endless with these cute cups! I used the heart ones for Valentine's Day (duh) on these cards:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1tDn3MpQFbk/UZD2U0HSXtI/AAAAAAAAAXU/g3HK3t3vbf8/s1600/treat+cup+card.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1tDn3MpQFbk/UZD2U0HSXtI/AAAAAAAAAXU/g3HK3t3vbf8/s400/treat+cup+card.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love both styles, but my OCD was driving me crazy with the different colored candy hearts. After I put them in the cup, I had to quickly seal it up because I wanted to sort the colors so badly. Can anyone relate??</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the round treat cups, I obviously thought they would be perfect as centers of a flower. I'm not exactly as thrilled with how these turned out, so I'm working on another style. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oVbMJbaAl3Y/UZD3GGlK4BI/AAAAAAAAAXc/S79v-RmFkkw/s1600/Candy+Flower+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oVbMJbaAl3Y/UZD3GGlK4BI/AAAAAAAAAXc/S79v-RmFkkw/s320/Candy+Flower+Card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just got the cutest Stampin up stamp set and knew right away that the round treat cups would come in handy. My 4 nieces (triplets plus one...my sister the Breeder) love anything fishy/sea/water so I made these for them. I think they went over quite well. The sentiment and inside fish are from a Close To My Heart stamp set that I've had forever but never used. How sad, right? I just LOVE this card and will be making more in the future. I think the next card will have the whales on Action Wobbles. Can't you just see them swimming through the water?</span><br />

I used both my Cricut Expression and my Cameo to make this card. The card base was from the Artiste cartridge, the inside hearts were from Art Philosophy and the sentiments were from a Silhouette cut file. I love how my Cameo can cut fiddley text perfectly. I still love my Cricut, but when it come to cutting thin flourishes, it just falls flat. </span><br />

It did rain for a bit today, but the temps are back in the upper 70's. Houston does not have much of a spring, just hot and hotter. The rain put me in a spring-frame of mind so I grabbed a cartridge that I've never used and tried to challenge myself. The vase was from the Art Nouveau cartridge that I thought was just so pretty. I grabbed some paper from my stash, a Cuttlebug folder, some Stickles and a bottle of Liquid Pearls and this is the end result. I think the sentiment tag is a bit too big, so I may make it smaller on the next card. The vase is popped up to give it some dimension. <br />

I played around with it for a while and thought it best to find an online class on how to use it. I was referred by someone to Jessica Sprague's website for different Silhouette courses. I bought every course available and have learned so much!! Kerri Bradford is an amazing teacher!! I watch the video on my old laptop computer and have my other computer hooked up to my Silhouette so I can follow along with the video. One of the video's covers importing digital papers into your designs. LOVE THAT!!! I wanted to see if it was possible to fill a card design with a pattern paper I had saved a while ago. I opened the Baby Bottle Card I bought from the Silhouette store and filled the base with purple, the top layer with the Mardi Gras paper and the top part with a gold color. I haven't been this excited in a long time!! The possibilities are totally endless!! I have no idea what I'm going to do with the card, but it was a fun start.<br />

<br />
Another video class touched on designing an 8.5x11" page in the Silhouette Designer Edition program. I followed Kerri's directions, step-by-step and this is how my page turned out. It needs a bit more work, but I don't think it's bad for a first try.<br />

Of course, I had to order the heart punch and stamp set that went with them. I put away my new Silhouette machine and cracked out my Gypsy and Expression for this project. I am so happy with this card, I made them for my 4 nieces. I'm not sure which one I like better. The OCD in me likes the all red one, but the candy hearts are a staple of Valentine's Day. <br />

I'm co-hosting a Kids Class Valentine class next week where the girls will create 30 candy boxes, fill with candy and attach a little tag. The box came from one of my Creative Memories cartridges and the tag was made with my new Silhouette Cameo machine, which I LOVE!!! I cut two different sizes, 2 inches and 2.5 inches. I really like the smaller size, it's just so cute!! The paper was from an old DCWV stack that I use to make my samples. I'm not sure which paper we'll actually use for the class, maybe a few different patterns for the kids to choose from. I'm thinking of using red Hershey Kisses for the smaller one and the Hershey Nugget bars for the larger one. <br />

It was super easy, except for all those little fiddley bits of the bear. Instead of using Stickles or glitter, I cut the pink and yellow layers out of glitter paper. Looking back, I probably should have used a pretty pattern for his shirt, though. Next time...<br />
<br />
When you open it, the gift card slides into a little pouch at the bottom. Pretty cute, eh?<br />

I saw this design somewhere and thought it was perfect. Of course, I made them a bit bigger (3.3x3.5), inked the edges of each white layer and added a little bling. It's kinda hard to see, but the star on top of the tree has a coat (or 2) of yellow Stickles. The insides are blank to give him more room to express his gratitude. Sadly, I have yet to see him head out to the mailbox with his finished cards. Kids!!<br />

I really need to work on that! Here are two Christmas card designs I have been working on:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The snowman is from a Cricut Imagine cartridge and is popped up on an Action Wobble so he bobbles around. I used lots of Stickles to outline each snowflake. <br />

This was such an easy card to put together. Last year I purchased an embossing/stamping folder on a whim and I love it!! First you stamp the image and then you insert it in the coordnating embossing folder, run it through your machine (I use the Cuttlebug) and finidh off with Stickles. The "Merry Christmas" was cut with my Cricut and is popped up for some dimension. Super easy and quick!!<br />

I usually have a few different styles, so I needed to get started. I used good old Winter Frolic cartridge and a new Jolly Holidays paper stack by Recollections. I just loved the unconventional colors!! I tried to put him on an Action Wobble, but the reindeer was not "fluffy" enough, so I popped him up. It's hard to see, but the red bulbs in the background paper are blinged out. Inking around the edges and lots of Stickles for his bulbs and scarf finished it off. <br />

A few weeks ago I attended a weekend scrapfest called Circle Mania. Over 50 "Paper Nerds" scrapped, drank, made cards, ate, learned new tricks and techniques, shopped and had a great time. Of course I didn't even begin to work on anything until Sunday morning. My goal was to complete a chalk board count-down and a matching card. I was asked to design a chalk board frame with specific Creative Memories papers that included a white scalloped frame, a basic phrase and a few owls. She wanted it to be minimalistic, so that it could be reproduced later by some younger children. Let me tell you, it was one of the hardest projects I've had to work on! I kept wanting to add some bling or ribbons or something to give it some pizazz. I cheated a bit by chalking the edges, which she liked but decided was too intensive for her students. Sigh. At least she liked it. She also sent me the picture of an owl card that she wanted to match the frame. Here is what I came up with:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Elegant Edges, Hoot n Holler and Disney -Pooh Font Set. I think it's cute as is, but definately needs somebling in each square, some big google-eyes for the owls and a few rhinestones on the words. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the matching card:</div>

For the card, I used 3 Birds-Straight From the Nest and Hoot n Holler cartridges. Again, it's ok, but I would love to have added some bling. </div>
