Author: February 14, 2013 0 Comments

What 2 posts in one day?  I know right? Well I just had to share what I sent my Son to school with this morning! He was so excited!  I made some super easy goodies! Just a stamp, ribbon, cello bag and of course candy and Voila~ you got yourself a cute favor. Below that one is a Treat holder/Card Holder – will show you how to do that one a little later!


Valentines Snickers


Valentines Snickers close up So what do you think? To cute huh!  What I like best is how easy it was.

Can't wait til he gets home so I can find out how the kids liked them.  Next I want to show you what I made for his Teacher.


Valentines Card Treat Holder 1Here is a Treat Holder/Card Holder –

The envelope holds the 3 x 3 card and a Ghiradelli Chocolate. YUMMY!

For both projects I used all Stampin' Up! products. The Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set, Single Heart Stamp and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I LOVE that set!  Real Red/Pool Party Ink.

Well that's all for now until next time…Thanks for stopping by and as always….

Happy Stampin,

Happy Valentines Day

Author: February 14, 2013 0 Comments

Happy Thursday and Happy Valentines Day! Well I went to post some samples last night and completely forgot! I am so sorry! Geez to much on the brain! But I do have some more Sweet Swaps to share and right on time for Valentines Day!


V-Day SHancock
Is this not the cutest?  Super simple yet very elegant. This is a swap that I got from Sandy Hancock!

She used the Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Fashionable Hearts Framelits, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Delightful Dozen Stamp set, 3/8" White Taffeta ribbon and the Small heart punch.

How did I know all those supplies you ask? She was kind enough to put on the back.

Thanks for stopping by and will share my son's Valentines that he took to school today. So until then….

Happy Stampin',

Love is in the air

So I just couldn’t resist sharing some more swaps. 

So what is sharing here? A few swaps I received from Marlene Salvato at our 2013 Stampin’ Up! Leadership event I went to in Orlando, Florida! 

Seriously are these just the cutest ever?  I LOVE the Little Penguin! I have another one from her that I’ll share with you all later!  I also love the lay out on the both cards. The color combo and textures on the other card are just AWESOME!

Ok, going to relax now it’s chilly and I have a quiet house! Need to finish a blanket that I’m making for my grandmother. Which you can see HERE next week.

Check back in tomorrow for some more ideas! Until then….

Happy Stampin’

Cheep Talk Stair Step Card

Author: May 8, 2009 0 Comments

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!

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!
