Baby card and basket

Hi. this was a baby basket that I made for someone at work. Yes I make these too. haha All in my spare time :) So she asked for pink and brown. That was easy enough. The onsie card was actually pretty easy. It does not open so it is more like a tag. I used a regular size piece of card stock and put it thru the cuttlebug. Then I used my circle punch to cut out the legs and neck hole. for the fringe I cut a circle out of cs and then went around that circle with the scallop punch. I then glued them on and then cut off the part that I didnt need. I used 2 brads at the bottom for the onsie snaps. How cute is that? I think this might have to be a stamp camp item. Always need a baby card.

January Camp Cards - Big Shot Top Note Die

Hello again, Just thought I would share the cards from camp this past weekend. There are a bunch of very talented stampers out in the world of Stampin Up and they are all so generous sharing ideas and sketches for others to duplicate or use as a jumping point. So check out the cards below and see what you think.

This first card is using the top note but by folding it over and not cutting out the top part it creates its own fold. So this note is folded on top of a single layer that is embossed to give it depth.

This card is our little Penguin. Starting with the top note die layered and then using the large and small ovals, and the 5 point flower to make all his little parts.

This card.. what a surprise.... we used the top note again.. haha I just love this one. So this one is kept off the smaller background card to create a different look. Just have to remember not to put the adhesive all the way around the top note like you are probably used to.

This next card is using the basic slider technique. As shown in Becky's card in a previous post... the focal point is movable using a penny, a dimensional puff dot, another penny, another dot and then your stamped image. The paper with the hole goes between the first penny and the 2nd. The puff dot is what slides along the paper. The first card shows the flower in position 1 and the 2nd shows it slid over to reveal the message :)

This last card is using half of that crazy top note again. This is using a design by my upline Janice Weightman. I was 16 out of the top 30 in sales for Dec. so she sent me this great card. Hers used the new design paper and I could not show it before today. So thank you Janice for the great idea. I changed up the colors a bit.... you might notice that I love that ski slope paper from the winter mini and the brown and read colors. Ok I will get out of that color scheme :)

So I sure hope you like what we did this month. I am excited to get into the new catty which started today by the way.... Stay tuned. Till next time... Happy Stamping

Swap cards

Hi everyone. Sorry it has been a while since I posted... not really sure where the time goes.
This post is for some of the swaps.

These 2 cards are Monica's. She used the sherbert background and then added some cuttlebug embossing, some eyeletes and the white jel marker to make it pop on the blue. She also used some fancy schmancy gadget she got from her hubby. I forget what it was called.. something like the stampers companion. A bunch of tools in one. That is now she made that wavy line with the embossed lines.

The cards below are Bea's creations. It is hard to see in this picture but the lilac card is embossed using the cuttlebug. I like her use of scallops and the boho set. The card with the hearts moves. The white part is connected using a brad which allows it to shift. Would be a neat way to hide a message like a slider card.

The cards below are mine. As you can tell I like that rose paper. I saw this idea that came from a sketch challenge. The olive card is embossed also using the Big Shot. The paper with the Thanks on it is actually a very light pink pattern. Now that card with the cute bees.... that is from the new catalog. I forgot to take a picture of the inside which had the rest of the words "have a honey of a day" and another cute bee. The set has a giant hive.. Now you know my history with bees.. so I had to get this set to scrapbook my groovy hive. Did I tell you Dan caught it on fire? Yup.. tried to actually use the flood light that it was attached to. Big mistake.. went up in flames. Dan had the thought.... call 911 and lose part of the garage or pray the hose reached. Well the hose barely was able to shoot water up that far and he got most of it out and then went and pounded out the screen from the inside the garage. He knocked off all the hive and managed to save a big chunk of it. So the girls will be able to have it for their science projects :) Ok I digress...

The top 2 here are Bea's and the bottom are Monicas. Monica used needlepoint type thread to go around the scallop punch. It reminds me of the spirographs. Very creative ladies.

Holiday cards

This card is using the ski slope designer paper and chocolate ribon. Very simple yet pretty.
I just love this color combo.


This card was cased using the top note die. It works in the cuttlebug as well as our Big shot. Looks like a camp card in the making :)

This card was so simple. It uses the designer paper from the Holiday mini called ski slope. This paper is one of many patterns but it is only available thru Jan 18. I also used the build a brad and the snow swirled stamp set.
