Hello All:

Every Wednesday over on splitcoaststampers they feature a new technique. This Wednesday's technique is the direct to paper technique. You choose your colors that your going to use. Then you want to from the lightness to the darkest color. Reason being you don't want to mess up your stamp pad. Once you have inked your cardstock then you can stamp your image. I used the new a la carte sail away stamp set. This stamp set is great for masculine cards.

Stamp Sets: Sail Away and Curly Cute

Ink: Black StazonOn, bashful blue, Marina Mist, and Pacific Point

Double Layer T-Shirt

2011-06-02T03:00:00.000-07:00

Happy mid week everyone and I hope that all is going well for you.

I was blog surfing this evening and came across a T-shirt card that was created by Darlene McCallum. I kept the colors and the design almost the same. I used a different stamp set and made a double layer t-shirt instead of a single like Darlene's. The card was fun and fast to make. This card could be used for just about any occasion. I chose not to put a sentiment on the card yet.

Stamp Set: Sail Away (summer mini catalog)

Cardstock: Basic Black and Wild Wasabi Designer Paper (Designer Series Subtle Collection)

Accessories: 2 X 1 3/8 Oval Punch, 1 3/4 X 7/ 8 oval punch, Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder (summer mini catalog), Heat Gun, versamark pad and Embossing buddy.

I enjoy stamping clean and simple!!!!

Where Have I Been?

2011-01-23T10:29:00.001-08:00

Where I have been lately? I recently had the flu for 10 horrible days and really couldn't do much of anything. It felt like I was alive but really dying. I am just glad that I had several people that brought me food even though I wasn't able to eat it all. I would nibble and that was about it. My energy level is back and I am up and moving around. This flu that is out is no joke at all. Of course, the weather at the time wasn't helping it either. So be careful because the flu bug is out there.

Butterflies and Curly Cute

2010-11-01T21:56:00.000-07:00

One can never have enough quick and cute cards on hand. Especially with different sentiments on the card. I really love the curly cute stamp set comes with five different sentiments and I used four of the five. The butterfly punch just gives it a little special touch to it.

This card didn't take no time at all to make.

A coworker of mines made a card like this and I just added the ribbon onto mines.

Single Layer Christmas Card

2010-09-30T06:00:00.000-07:00

The last few days I have been posting holiday cards that are the same but with a small twist to them. I just wanted to show the versatility of one stamp set. Where two cards cards can be made and with a few accessory changes the card can have a slight different look to it.

This is a single layer card which can be made by children. My 5 year old niece loves making her cards with punch. This would be a great card for children to make for their classmates.

CardStock: Real Red, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White

Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Accessories: Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, 1 1/4 circle punch, Real Red and Certainly Green Grosgrain Ribbon.

Christmas Petals A Plenty

2010-09-29T06:00:00.000-07:00

I am loving the embossing folders and my big shot right now. I love how a lot of them just coordinate with the holidays. So right now I am stuck on using my embossing folders. I used the same embossing folder, two different stamps from one stamp set, and a few different accessories and have two different looks.

The greeting stamp that was used is new to my collection but you can beat having four different holiday stamps. This greeting stamp set is endless.

I cased this card design from Kitkatt55 I didn't use the exact same accessories that Kat did. Thanks for the design layout. Use can use any color that you want. Christmas just doesn't have to be red and white.

Cardstock: Whisper White and Real Red

Ink: Basic Black

Stamp Set: Four The Holiday

Accessories: Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Real Red Marker,Petals-A - Plenty Embossing Folder, and Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.

This card was made in less then 10 minutes. I do believe the longest part was getting the circles lined up. No, I am not that girl to pull out the ruler and make sure that it is spaced out to. I like to attempt to eye ball it and get it right. I enjoy simple and stress free stamping. I love just doing simple things!!!!!

Dasher With Ice

This dasher has been created with a little twist of ice added to it. The card is very similar to the card that was posted on yesterday with just a few minor accessories adjustments. Card making is just like wearing clothes. You can wear the same dress twice but change your accessories and make it look brand new. I enjoy stamping clean and simple!!!!

Dasher With The Holidays

2010-09-26T12:00:00.000-07:00

I have started creating my holiday cards with stamp sets that I already have in my collection. Most of my cards are using the same stamp set with just a different lay out or a different technique. The recession has hit us all and this is a just a way to use what we already have. Now I did buy a few new accessories. Once a craft junkie always a craft junkie.

2010-09-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

What Is On The Table

2010-09-09T19:49:00.000-07:00

My gal pal Rose came down to visit with me last weekend because she has moved away and I haven't seen her in months. Rose and I just had a very easy going day nothing really planned, but to enjoy each another. Well in the process of the visiting what happened we began to stamp. Rose, brought a few of her embossing folders with her that I don't own so I could emboss some cardstock. I wanted to make a masculine card for a good friend that is under that weather. The supplies we had were very limited. This is why I titled this card what is on the table? Rose used what she had in front of her literally.

Cardstock: Espresso, Basic Grey, Old Olive, and Natural White

Stamp: Daffodil Stamp From Michaels & Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU)

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Chocolate Chip & Old Olive Markers, Gold Brads, Modern Label Extra Large, Big Shot, and Square Lattice.

Technique: Sponging

Rose put this card together in a matter of minutes. I love to see Rose Stamping blood flow.

Thank Rose for being my friend.

Christmas In May

2010-05-17T21:35:00.001-07:00

Hello All:

Who says that you can't have Christmas all year round. Char had told me earlier in the week that she had a little something for me and that I was going to laugh. Last Sunday Char stopped by my house for a quick moment. When Char came to the door she was hiding something behind her back and was laughing so of course I started laughing. When we finally stopped laughing Char handed me a wrapped present and we laughed again. The package was about the size of 11 X 14 picture frame. So I thought Char had a picture made of herself, Rose and me and decided to give it to me as a gift. But guess what it wasn't a picture in a frame it was a Scor-Pal. Yes, I know many of you have had theirs forever but I just received mines from my stamping pal and I thought it was great. This was my Christmas gift from Char in May. So once again who says you can't have Christmas all year long.

Thanks Char you made my Sunday.

Summer Mini Catalog Is Here

2010-05-03T18:08:00.000-07:00

Hello All:

The Summer Mini Catalog has arrived and there are a lot of new and exciting items in the catalog. You can order from this catalog beginning May 1st - August 31, but you don't want to wait until August to place your order.

I am personally excited about the new wheels that have been reinvented. You can use three wheels with one jumbo handle and get a great effect. I should have my order by the end of the week and will be able to post my creation with the new wheels.

Also if you are a punch junkie like I am there is a new punch on page 23.

Have you ever just needed one stamp that perhaps said happy birthday and not the entire stamp set. Well there are a few a la carte stamps on page 31.

Click the link above and enjoy looking at the new summer mini catalog.

Thank you for looking

Gold Birthday Card

2009-08-13T14:43:00.000-07:00

Today post is a birthday card not a thank you card. You can never have to many birthday cards on hand just like thank you cards. This card is very elegant with the gold embossing but yet clean and simple. The card looks a lot better in person I think.

Stamp Sets: Medallion and Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Kraft and Very Vanilla
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Classy Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Gun and Powder Pal.
Technique: Embossing.

This card is very simple to mass produce. Using the sincere salutation stamp set you can make a set of 8 cards in very little time.

2009-08-11T09:53:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday my upline and sideline had a day of stamping together. The three of us sat in Rose's stamp room and laughed and stamped away. It was very relaxing and fun. I am glad that they are my friends.

Card Ingredients:

Stamp Set: Short & Sweet
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry(In Color), Crushed Curry(In Color), and Razzleberry Designer paper.
Ink: Rich Razzleberry

Mother's Day Cards

2009-05-08T23:58:00.001-07:00

First of all let me start off by saying Happy Mother's Day To Everyone. My Mother's Day goes out to the Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, GodMothers,Sisters, and Cousins.

One of my favorite card clients called me up and asked if I was selling Mother's Day cards this year and I hadn't planned on it. Well I can't tell this person no at all even if she wasn't my favorite and best card buying client. I came home from work and designed a very simple but cute card if I may so in no time. It took more time cutting the cardstock then stamping both cards.

I made two cards using the exact same material but one card is monogrammed and one card isn't.

Card Information:
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Pink Piroutte, and Ultra White.
Designer Paper: Bella Rose Designer Paper
Stamp Set: All Holidays and Lovely Letters Alpha.
Ink:Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Celery Grosgrain Ribbon

I AM EMBRACING 40

2009-03-23T22:30:00.000-07:00

On March 14, 2009 I gave myself a Hollywood theme 40th Birthday party. When I say that the party was the party of the year it truly was. I had been planning the party since November 2008 and thought that March 14, 2009 would never make it here. But all the sweat and drama I had it was worth every bit of it.

I had a red carpet event that was hosted by my sister and one of my best friends. The video man was my husband and the video is just completely hilarious. I had my own camera crew there and they took over 600 pictures of the event. I wore a black short cocktail dress with feathers on the bottom from Fredericks of Hollywood. One of my best friends bought the dress and said this is what I had to wear. The dress was a perfect fit with my 4 inch heels to go along with the dress. I made my grand entrance to Hollywood Swinging by Kool And The Gang and the night was full of dancing.

On March 18, 2009 I turned 40 and you better believe that I am embracing it and beliving life only gets better from here.

I asked myself will I give myself another party before I turn 50 and I said I doubt it. But I don't know what I will do at 50 to top this party at 40.

Remember to embrace life because life is to short.

Fatz Invites

2009-01-24T12:47:00.000-08:00

My middle niece will be turning 10 years old in a few days. Here name is Justiss but I call her Fatz because when she was born her belly was bigger than her entire body. I promise it looks like here belly weighed 15 pounds by itself. Fatz wanted to make her our invitations this year instead of her mom purchasing them. So on Wednesday evening Fatz, Candace (her mom) and I went into design mode. I thought a pocket card would be nice and something different and from there all of us helped design Fatz invites. I used a retired simply scrapping kit for the designer paper but she loved that fact that the paper was polka dots and pink. Pink is Fatz color.

Card Recipe:
Stamp Set: Party Hearty
Cardstock: Retired Simply Scrapping Kit, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, White and Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Regal Rose
Accessories: Scallop Punch,Circle Punch, and Circle Ice Rhinestones
Technique: Masking and Embossing

Thanks for stopping by and looking at our family creation for Fatz

Jewelry Making

2008-12-10T21:57:00.000-08:00

Hello All: I do hope that all is well with whomever is reading this post. It has been a trying year for a some as we come to the close of the year. But I do want to share with you that it will get better. Please trust me on this one because GOD is in control of it all. I have been there when I thought it was rough and GOD brought me out and he will bring you out as well. I don't know who needed a word of encouragement but I know that I needed to share with someone.

This holiday I decided to bring out of my old trades which is jewelry making. One of my friends by the name of Lisa came over my house last Saturday and taught me a few new tricks to jewelry making. This past Tuesday my friends who are like sisters and I got together for Sister evening and exchanged Christmas trinkets. Well, I made eight different pieces of jewelry as my trinkets and they really loved them.

The red, black and silver heart with the organza ribbon was most definitely an experiment. I wanted to make a necklace with ribbon and I did it. I was worried that my friend may not like it but she did. The other necklace was for another girlfriend and I had knew that she would like it. This necklace is just her style.
