More Stampin Goodies to Share…

Ok, Last Sunday I had a Booth at the Vista Chocolate Festival!  It turned out to be a nice day. Met SO MANY nice People!  I wanted to share the items that I made.  I had a blast making them! Talk about Super Fun and Easy!  Thanks to Angies great Video Tutorial I was able to re-create them! Check it out HERE You'll be there for HOURS! ; )  1st photo is a display of my Table w/the goodies. Yes, you'll see more Card Pouches! ; ) LOVE those things! Enjoy and if you have any questions please let me know. I hope the photos don't come out all weird.  I still haven't got the hang of it yet. I'm trying though! ; )

Ok, this is the Display.  If you have questions on anything that you see please don't hesitate to ask me!  I used so much of everything!  All things used are from Stampin' Up!

The next Photo is just a close up of the Cute little bags. On Angies Site they are called "Blessing Mix" I think? I was gonig crazy looking at all her goodies.

What I really like about these CUTE Bags is that you only use a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock or DSP like you see here.

I'm going to start with this card I made with the Embrace Life Set! I really like this set!  If you like to Water Color this is a great set PLUS I just love how it's elegant but not overly, Yep!

1 More Pouch Fold Card ; )

 Ok, I had to share this last Pouch Card I did with Stampin’ Up’s! Berry Bliss Paper.  When you make these cards you are using a 11 x 11 sheet of DSP, so you end up with 2 strips – 1 that is 1 x 12 the other is 1 x 11.  What to do with the strips????  Well cut them down to 1 x 3 and wrap them around nuggets!!! You can get 7 wraps.  I used 6 for the photo below!  I’ve never posted instructions/File before so hopefully it will post.  If you have any problems trying to download them let me know.  Enjoy and Thanks for stopping by.


Berry Bliss Pouch   


 I LOVE SU’s Berry Bliss Paper! I also used the Boho Punch and the One of a Kind set! Love these together.


I also had to use Glitter! ; ) The next photos are what I did on the inside flap and for the greeting.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to email or comment me.  I have more coming so please check back often.

Pouch Fold Card

Time sure flys when you are having fun! With my Daughter going to Prom and my little one going to Birthday Parties OH and Mother’s Day in the Mix of all that…finally getting time to play catch up and post some goodies!  On May 3rd I demonstrated a Pouch Fold Card! This was demonstrated at the Stampin’ Up! Anaheim Regionals on Friday Feb. 1st by Jolie Newman, I went on Saturday so wasn’t able to see it. Found out she is in our Udderly Awesome Group and was able to get instructions! Woo Hoo! I am obsessed with this card! It makes the perfect Card/Gift in one.  Thanks for stoppping and I’ll have some Great Swaps to post and more goodies that I’ve been working on.

The Get Well One is one of my favorite card/pouches that I did. (Ok, next to the Easter one I did with the Peppermint Patties as my goodie and of course I used "A Good Egg" Set!)

The packet fits in the back, where there is a pouch.  I put a packet of tea, cough drops and a lipton cup a soup packet, it fit perfect!  What I used for the Get Well  – I used my favorite DSP Cutie Pie and a Great all Occassion Set Fun and Fast Notes!  Group photo next to it are just a few others that I did.  I am working on one with the Berry Bliss DSP with YUMMY Nuggets! Any questions please feel free to email me or leave me a comment. I will post the directions for this a little later tonight.

Happy Friday & Scrapbook Pages to share….

Finally was able to get photos of My 12 x 12 pages! Hopefully they will look fine!  This was a class that I had here at my house. The Lay-outs were inspired by Swaps that I’ve done in the past! I changed some of them up. Once I got going it started getting easier.  Been wanting to get back into Scrap-booking again, so this class was a jump start! ; ) Enjoy!
