Cherry Celebrate

I've had this paper for a while, and haven't used it until now. I'm such a horder! I just love this Tart & Tangy stamp set. I've used it soooo much! I layered the DSP on Old Olive layered on Whisper White. I used my SU! markers to color the cherry stamp. I used my Scallop Circle punch and used my paper piercer to punch the holes and then used my white gel pen to accent the holes. I stamped the Celebrate stamp from the Wonderful Words stamp set in Real Red and I used Real Red striped ribbon to finish off the top of the card. Nice and cheery. This card make me smile.

Celebrate with Celery DSP

I'm kind of a paper junkie, along with a ribbon junkie, embellishment junkie, etc. I just can't get enough!!! I have just about every color of the Stampin' Up! designer series papers, but rarely use them. So I made this card to show how easy you can create a card. I didn't do much embellishing to this card. I created it in about 10 minutes or less.

I used Certainly Celery designer series paper, layered on top of Certainly Celery card stock, layered on top of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped "Celebrate" in Certainly Celery and used my photo corner punch and paper piercer to embellish the front. When you don't have a lot of time to make a card, this one is simple and quick to do. Thank for stopping by!

Celebrate the Moment with Au Chocolate

Sorry I have fallen off the face of the earth!! I have been spending every spare moment getting ready for my first craft show this Saturday and my DD (4 yo) just had her tonsils out today. She did well, but boy am I exhausted. I'm sure that's how the rest of the week will go too. I just hope she has a good recovery.....I think I should buy some stock in popsicles!

I never ever use this paper because I like it too much!! Doesn't make much sense, does it?? Well, I only have limited space in my craft room, so I'm trying really hard to use what I have before I go out and get more. I just love this card. It think it looks so elegant. The Au Chocolate DSP is retired from SU!, ribbon is from a ribbon share I did and the sentiment is from GinaK Designs. Those sentiments fit perfectly into the SU! Window Word punch. My mom asked for cards for her birthday and this is one of them. I hope she likes it! Enjoy your day!

Sassy Stems

I borrowed this set from my friend, Kristi. I didn't realize she had this set and thought it would be perfect to do a little watercoloring. I used So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss & Tangerine Tango. I'm not sure where the striped ribbon came from, but that was the inspiration for my colors. The sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink. Those sentiments are perfect for fitting in my oval punches. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Friends - Warm Up Card

Here is another warm up card. As you can see from the previous post, I was in a green & black mood that day. The green is one of the new In Colors - Kiwi Kiss- from Stampin' Up! I just love this color! Doing these warm-up cards definitely get the crafty juices flowing. Stay tuned...more stuff to follow!

Bee-utiful Warm Up Card

WOW! I didn't realize how bad this picture was until I was ready to post it. I really need to invest in some sort of photo software, but since I'm only a hobby demonstrator and SAHM, I just don't feel justified in spending the money on that. I'll have to add it to my christmas list.:)

When I made this card, I hadn't stamped much. Just haven't had the time or the energy. I had the energy, but didn't know where to start. This is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 card......my warm up cards. Nothing fancy, but at least it got my stampin' mojo flowing :) Enjoy your day....believe it or not, there are most posts coming your way!

Decor Elements

Yes....I'm still alive! This summer has been crazy and my oldest just started preschool. Hooray!! I'm trying to get into our new routine for school, naps, etc. By saying that, I am also trying to get into a new routine of stamping. I am doing my first craft show in the beginning of November with a friend of mine so we are mad stamping trying to get some things ready for the show. I'm trying to get into the craft room at least a couple of nights a week. I've actually been stamping lately, but haven't had time to post anything. I don't know where the time goes, but wherever it goes, it takes my energy right along with it!!

Here is the Decor Elements from Stampin' Up! that I put up in my craft room. This is the large Create Definition in chocolate. I like how it turned out (okay, you can't really mess it up) but I think it's looks good!

Thanks for looking....time to get back stamping before my husband ends up finding me sleeping at the desk in the morning.
