Stampin' Up! Teen Card

What kind of card to you make for a teenage girl. I started with Black, Pink and White... I ended up not using this card, but I do like it and will add to my card supply.

Stampin' Up! The Open Sea

Wanted to try some "masculine" cards for Father's Day. These cards were made using the Stampin' Up! set "The Open Sea".

Today's Throw Back Thursday sample is from an old "WOW Swap" I made for a demonstrator meeting. I purchased these boxes from Michael's in the wood section. I painted them to match the Stampin' Up! colors and then decorated with the front panel. Inside the boxes were chocolate kisses (of course) in a cello bag.

Organizing Crafting Supplies

I'm an organizing junkie. I love when everything matches and fits nice. I use a lot of these old Stampin' Up! tins to store my craft supplies... paint chips, coasters, test tubes, wood blocks, brushes, etc. Adding labels makes it easy to find what I need.

I created these labels in word and punch them out... The background label is Stampin' Up! DSP. My friends make fun of me with this paper.. it's all over my craft room. I can't help it, I like things to match.

You will notice here the labels, the cases where I store my Pearls and Rhinestones and even my little garbage box have the DSP.

Stampin' Up! Technique Tuesday

This week spotlight technique is the "Chalk Lines" technique. I don't remember this one, but it looks like the emboss resist and the chalk resist technique. I remember this Stampin' Up! retired set... Embrace Life. It used to be my "go to" floral stamp set.

Confetti Technique Card

Saw this technique done on someones blog and I had to try it. You use the SAB Decorative Dots folder with vellum paper, a stylus and markers. You put the vellum on the embossing folder (indented part) and using your stylus you dry emboss the dots you want and then you flip the vellum and color in with markers. Pretty cool.

Stampin' Up! Fabulous Florets

Today I am sharing this birthday card I made. It fun when I have an opportunity to just play with stamps and paper and see what I can come up with. I Love the way the Early Espresso and the Pistachio colors look together. It all blends and yet pops at the same time.
