Going Away Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Happy Monday!

Today I would like to share with you this going away card & goodie treat.

(I mean if you have to say goodbye might as well try and make it "sweet")

I finally played with my Swirly Bird stamp set. Winning!  How cute is the little sailboat? Which by the way was super easy to make. This stamp set is a photopolymer set which means the stamps are clear therefore easy to see where you stamp! Plus this set coordinates with the Swirly Scribbles thinlits! So many possibilities you can create with this set!   

Here is a solo picture of the card.

To make the waves I used the Swirly Scribbles thinlits and my most favorite tool the big shot. I "fussy cut" the sailboat with my trusty paper snips. The sentiment I used is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set. There's some good greetings in this set! 

Here is a solo picture of the goodie treat. 

For the tag I punched out a circle with whisper white cardstock and the 2 inch circle punch. Stamped and fussy cut another sailboat and added my waves. Very easy and fun!

Here is one more picture of them together. 

Now it's time for a fun fact. Did you know you can buy the Swirly Bird stamp set and the coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits die in a bundle AND SAVE 10%?

Awesome right? 

Well I hope you enjoyed today's card and goodie treat.

Grateful For You

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this card I made for a friend of mine. 

I used the Acorny Thank You stamp set for the sentiment. I stamped it with Bermuda Bay then I used the Calypso Coral stampin write marker to color the little hearts.  The flowers were made with the big shot die cutting machine and the botanical builder framelits. 

I also filled a clear tiny treat box with Jordan Almonds. I added a flower on top to match the card. 

I'm loving the new clear tiny treat boxes! Have you used them yet?

Here they are together.

Hope you enjoyed today's goodies. 

Till next time peeps.

Happy Stampin'!

You Are Remarkable

Hello My Stampin Friends!

Happy Friday!

Today I would like to share with you this lovely card or like my five year old says "the grapes" card.

I made this card using the Remarkable You stamp set. This set is becoming one of my favorites! I also punched out 16 flowers using the petite petals punch. For the center of the flowers I used the tree builder punch to punch out the little flower. I then added some pearls just to give it a little something extra. 

I notice I have been reaching for the pearls and rhinestones lately. They're becoming my "go to" for embellishments. Do you like to use the pearls or rhinestones? What is your "go to" for embellishments? Let me know in the comments. I would love to hear from you. 

Hope you have a great weekend.

Till next time peeps!

Happy Stampin'!

Sending A Smile Your Way

Hello Stampin Peeps!

Today I would like to share with you this card I made using the Love & Affection stamp set.

I really like the crumb cake and night of navy color combo. The flower paper is from the Affectionately Yours designer series paper pack. I LOVE how it coordinates with the love & affection stamp set! Did you notice that the flowers on top of the sentiment matched the flower paper? I just stamped with night of navy ink onto crumb cake cardstock and "fussy cut" them.  

Here is a close up. 

I then just added some rhinestones to the center of each flower and to the bigger flowers on the flower paper to give this card a little "pop".

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Till next time peeps.

Happy Stampin'

4th Of July Goodies

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you some sweet goodies I made for the 4th Of July.

I found some really awesome patriotic candy at the grocery store, Once I saw them I knew they would be perfect for Stampin' Up's! NEW clear tiny treat boxes.  The first box has some yummy Rolo's inside. I used the thoughtful banners stamp set along with the coordinating classic label punch for the sentiment. I also used the smallest star die from the stars framelits set.

For this next box I filled it with some mini Ghirardelli chocolate squares and some Rolo's. I tied a bow around the box with some Dapper Denim ruched ribbon. To make the star tag I used the long solid bar stamp from the thoughtful banners stamp set. I alternated stamping with real red and pacific point. I then cut out the star shape using the second smallest star die from the stars framelits set. After I got my star I then layerd the smallest star on top and ran it through my big shot again. I tied around bow with some cherry cobbler bakers twine.

Here is a look at the top of the box / star tag.

This next goodie I used the new 2x8 cellophane bags. I put some York patties inside. I like how it came out. I just tied a bow and used a glue dot to attach to the top corner.

One last picture of all of them together.

Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend! Till next time peeps!

Happy Stampin'!

Affectinately Yours Layout

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this scrapbook layout.

Have you ever looked through pictures on your cell phone and find one that hits you right in the feels?  Well peeps this picture right here did exactly that. Hit me right in the feels. This picture of the hubby and I was taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. This was our very FIRST trip that was just the two of us, no kids. It was like a honeymoon. It was wonderful. Of course when I saw it I had to document it.

I used the new affectionately yours specialty designer series paper. This paper is so gorgeous and it was PERFECT for this layout!

I also made some paper flowers using the botanical builder framelits. I liked how they came out.

I also used three different stamp sets. For the sentiment I used the new Love & Affection stamp set. I also used Gorgeous Grunge for the background and Bloomin Love Stamp set for the little heart.

I hope you enjoyed todays post.

Till next time peeps

Happy Stampin'

Well when you do read this it will be Monday =)

Today I would like to share with you some stuff I made for my upline Becky Roberts (Yes. The Becky Roberts from Inking Idaho) on the road event she held MONTHS AGO! Yes months ago. As I sit here and shake my head at myself for never posting, I still would like to share. Yes the stamp set and designer series paper are no longer available (Bubble Nuggets!) but no worries. As a added bonus to today's post and well it being Monday everyone's favorite day of the week.(Totally rolling my eyes here) I will be giving away the stamp set Party Wishes featured in today's post. Yes my friends leave me a comment. Which item you liked the most from this post. I will pick a winner on Friday (Fun Day). Just to clarify this stamp set is the one I purchased and USED to make these goodies. No need to worry I take good care of my stamps.

First up is this cake slice. Remember when I said this was one of my favorite dies? It was a MUST to make featuring the party wishes set. Hello Stampin peeps! Party = cake right?

                          

Second is this scrapbook layout I made using a project life page layout. Pictures I used are from my Chloe girls 2nd birthday. (She is now 5. Where does the time go?)

                                                

Here is the back. 

                                                

Third we have this card that's also a gift card holder and candy holder. I wish I could remember who originally made this years ago. I like to give credit where it's do. If by any chance you reading this designed this, Thank You for sharing. You have inspired me to make one of my own.

                                                 

Here is a closer look at the chocolates.

                                         

Up next is another project I made that was inspired by another SU demo. She just so happens to be part of the Artisan Design team. Thank you for the inspiration Joyce Fowler! 

                                                     

Now we have this little mason jar filled with some yummy chocolate eggs.

                                                       

Up next is this lovely treat holder
.

                                                        

I really love how the stamped cupcakes came out! 

Okay last one for today. Here is a card I made. This design was featured in the occasions catalog. It was too cute to not replicate. 

                                                      

There you have it my friends. Hope you enjoyed reading this picture heavy post. Don't forget to leave me a comment so you can be entered to win the party wishes stamp set!
