Author: June 16, 2009 0 Comments

Ok, my daughter graduates High School tomorrow so I've got LOT'S going on.  But I wanted to post really quick.  First I am going to be going on vacation for 2 weeks coming up this Sunday (Father's Day) we are heading to Monterey…stopping first in Port Hueneme (Mandaly Beach)…then on the way back from Monterey we are stopping in Pismo Beach then Anaheim to see the Pirate Adventure.  It should be a GREAT vacation. SO while I am gone I am going to have a HUGE Give Away. To find out the details just subscribe to my monthly newsletter at the upper left hand corner under my photo. My mid-month email will have all the details and will come out on Sunday.  Only those that are subscribers will be eligible. 

Happy New Baby Card So now for my share.  I needed a quick baby notecard and gift and I pulled out my "Pun Fun" set.  I LOVE this set and the versatility of it.  It's the perfect stamp set for beginners. 

*All items used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Whisper White, Certainly Celery
Ink: Basic Black, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Blender Pen, Silver Eyelet

The Baby Bear you ask? He to is Happy New Baby Card Close up handmade – I crocheted him all by myself. LOL!!! I couldn't resist taking a photo of him too!  Before my obssession for Stamping I crocheted. I still do and love it, my Mom taught me when I was 12.

I will have a post go out automatically tomorrow while I'm getting ready for Graduation. So stop by and see the card I made for my son's 5th Birthday.

Oh yes, did I fail to mention that we had his party this past Saturday since we are going to be gone on his Birthday. UGH!! I SO need a vacation!

Thanks for stopping by and as always Happy Stampin',

Gift Card Holder Graduation Card

Author: May 18, 2009 0 Comments

Grad Owl Gift Card Holder Hello all and Happy Monday!  Ok, I've got YET another Owl Graduation Card. I LOVE this lil Owl and as I mentioned VERY addicting to make too.

ALL Supplies are the same as the Post below..colors, ink etc.  Except I used Bold Numbers set which is retired. 

Now to make the Card Hold the Gift Card I used a 12 x 12 sheet of Cardstock.  I cut it 4 1/4 x 12 then I scored it at 5 1/2 and 11.  The extra inch you will bring it up to the inside of your card and that will hold the gift card. Woo Hoo!  Love this Idea!

Also I wanted to add a HUGE Thank you to those who leave me comments..I so appreciate them and SO glad you like my cards/projects.  Thanks for visiting my Blog!

Grad Owl Gift Card Holder Inside Now back to stampin', my son is at Grandma's house so I need to take advantage. LOL!!! But if you have any questions please don't hesitate to comment, call or email me.

Happy Stampin',

Look “Hoo’s” Graduating…

Author: May 18, 2009 4 Comments

Graduation Owl Card Ok, so it's been a super long weekend and I did get LOTS done! I am really liking how this card came out! Guess what?? It's not a Side or Stair Step Card! LOL!!!  My friend Sharon has crowned me not only "Queen" of step cards but I am now the "Ambassador" per her comment on the post below. LOL!!  I Love it…Oh and yes she will be right behind me. You've got to check out her card HERE! Ok, so where was I???

Oh, yes this card was a fun one to make using Stampin' Up!'s great punches. Again I'm using my daughter's School colors.  I got this idea from our Stampin' success magazine we get every month. There was the cute lil "Owl" staring at me ; ) it was created by Lyssa Zwolanek. Be on the look out for more of this little guy as He is very addicting to make. Next time I make him his feet are going to be either Only Orange or Pumpkin pie. I think the Tango Tangerine is too Orangey? Or is it just me? Hmmm!!!!

Supplies used: All Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamp Set: Great Grads
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray, Basic Black, Whisper White, So saffron (beak), Tango Tangerine (feet), Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Basic Black, Basic Gray
Accessories: Grograin Ribbon, SU Punches – Scallop, 1 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 (retired) circle punches, Small Tag, Boho Blossoms (feet), 5-petal Flower (beak), Round Tab & word window, Dimensionals

Ok, I think that's it. Back to more stampin!

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stampin',

Graduation “Side” Step Card

Author: May 16, 2009 2 Comments

Grad Side Step Card Happy Saturday All!  Well I've been busy over the last week! ; )  As I mentioned I'm getting ready for the Vista "Chocolate Festival". 

So anyways in between all that I'm making Grad Cards for my Daughter to see which one she likes..and with Graduation just around the corner.. .YIKES! I'll be up late these next few weeks.

Ok, so on with the details of this card. Super fun and once you do a few very easy to make.

Everything used is Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted!

Stamp Set: Great Grad & (retired) Bold numbers! LOVE these numbers!
Card-stock: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray, Whisper White
Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray & Basic Black
Accessories: SU! Punches, Big Shot Bigz Pennant Die, DD Glitter, Ribbon

I would LOVE to see your creations! Download Directions HERE!  As I mentioned before the directions I got from Kate Wilson & Jackie Topa's site!  OH – Quick Tip you want to make the Slit First…so you would have the 5 1/2 side up against your cutter and line it up to the 2…then go down to 2 1/8 start your slit and end at 7 1/2.  I hope that made sense! If not email me with any questions you may have!

Ok, on my way to a Birthday Party! 

Have a great day & Happy Stampin',

Cheep Talk Stair Step Card

Author: May 8, 2009 0 Comments

DSC02066
Happy Friday!  So are you sick of these yet?  LOL!  Yes, I'm addicted!  I LOVE this stamp set and the Designer Series Paper!

So I've got a few tips on these cards. I had given 2 different measurements that I found most popular. 1 was the 4 1/4 x 10 1/2 and the other was the 5 x 10 1/2…I also know you can make it 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 and it will fit in the envelope perfect. 

Ok, so the 4 1/4 size when you go to decorate the back flap if your embelishments are to heavy it doesn't stand up as straight.  The 5 or the 5 1/2 size is a bit more sturdy because it's wider.

These also work up pretty fast when you use Designer Series Paper! 

CCake Stair Step

Here is another one with a very simple layout using the Big Shot sizzlets Dies. LOVE these dies!

I have a few more to share then I promise I'll move on to something else! ; )

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stampin',
