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".

Throw Back Thursday

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.
