Paint Chip Gorgeous

In cleaning out my craft room this weekend I came across this card and I had to post it again.  It's amazing what you can do with paint chips from Home Depot.  I miss this stamp set... Fifth Avenue Floral.

I picked out the paint chips and then I made the card to match using Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and a little touch of So Saffron.  The card stock background is Basic Gray.  Hope this inspires you.

 

Round and Round we go...

Sometimes it nice to just play around with shapes.  I decided to use some scraps of DSP and some scraps of card stock and I made this card for a kids birthday card.  I kept it simple, except I did run the card stock pieces through the Chevron embossing folder to give the card some depth.

Throwback Thursday: Punched Animals

OK... how stinkin cute are these little guys.  I rember when we were putting these together as a project at one of our Demo meeting sand we couldn't stop laughing at each one...  especially the monkey!  Simply adorable!

Technique Tuesday: Acetate & Tissue

This technique is a little messy because it involves reinkers and crystal effects.  But it is so worth it.  You can't appreciate how pretty this looks with a picture.  You will have to try it and see for yourself.



Simply Simple and Elegant: Simply Sketched

Today I am sharing this lovely, but simple card I made using Simply Sketched stamp set and some butterflies.  I love the way the Baked Brown Sugar leaves look with the Soft Sky butterflies and I used Blender Pens to color in the berries with Soft Sky.

Stamping with Scraps

Made these cards a while ago.  They are perfect for a Stamping with Scraps card!!

Storing Extra Stamping Scrap Pieces

When I stamp or prepare for a class, there seems to be extra pieces left over.  I hate to throw them out in case I need them for a future project.  So I store them in these little Stampin' Up! plastic containers.  They are perfect for little flowers, little punched pieces, greetings, etc.

When I use butterflies a lot... especially the Stampin' Up! Butterflies die cut and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.  There are always extra pieces and I store them in these Stampin' Up! Acrylic Cases.  It's perfect...when I need a butterfly or a snowflake, I just grab my case and look for the butterfly I need.
