Tuesday Technique: Shimmery Resist

This Shimmery Resist Technique would make an awesome Christmas card.  It seems pretty easy to create according to the instructions.






Paint Chip Inspiration #16: Starburst Card

I wanted to challenge myself with this paint chip card so I made a "Starburst" card.  Instead of using designer paper, I decided to use paint chips.  





Stampin' With Scraps: Triple Banner Punch

This DSP paper is retired, but I still love it.  This is a great way to use your scraps and make a quick, but petty card.  I used the new Stampin' Up! Triple Banner Punch... I love that punch. Banner are so easy to make now and you can make them any length.  You have the option for a 1" , 1.5" and 2" wide banner.  One of my new Favs from the NEW catalog!




Stampin' Up! Color Combo Challenge #11: Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz

Keeping it simple with this color combo challenge...  These banners were so easy to make with my new Stampin' Up! Triple Banner Punch.  

Color Combo Challenge # 11






Stampin' Up! Balloon Framelits

This card was so easy to make using the Stampin' Up! Balloon Framelits. It can work with any patterned paper and baker's twine.



Throwback Thursday: Stationery Tin

This Throwback project is still such a cute idea.  We took a tin, altered with DSP and card stock and put a note book with matching pen and magnets inside.  You can use the magnets to hold notes or stamps. Makes a cute teacher gift.
