Bookmarks

So almost all the supplies are retired... but I thought I would show it anyway.  My friend asked me to make a bunch of bookmarks for the BYU spirit squad.  She chose the stamps and greeting... I think it might have something to do with the theme this year.  My friend said they loved them... hope she is right!  My almost 8 year old was a big help and did all the adhesive work!

To create the fan background, I used the new texture plate.  It is more subtle than embossing folders and won't smash as easily.  I also love bookmarks with a ribbon pull... although my favorite bookmarks are fabric ones.  Maybe someday I will make some Stampin' Up style with fabric!

Timeless Flower

Fabric time! I made this cute fabric flower for my niece. I love decorating the gift bags with hair flowers... I love seeing their reaction when they realize that they can wear it! For this flower I used the new Timeless Portrait fabric (the 2 black and white prints) and paired it with some plain white and black fabric. I attached all the layers with a vintage brad. I don't remember exactly how many layers this flower had... it was atleast 8 but probably a few more. I cut the layers of fabric out with the Fun Flowers Big Shot die.

A few people have asked me when my next fabric flowers class is... would you like to come if I have a class? I am thinking that this flower is one we should make!

Doily Pages

We made these pages at Stamp Club in July. If you would love to come make scrapbook pages or cards with us let me know! We used a fabric scrap to tie around the pennant, and the awesome clear alphabet to do the title... I just wish I had 2 letter P's :)

Don't you love that orange Doily? The detail is fabulous, it comes with the Designer Series Paper! The other 2 doilies are from the pennants big shot die!

We stamped this middle banner with the doily stamps and the other 2 banners were from the DSP. To make the banner, we just punched out the bottom with the larger square punch! Easy peasy. You can also see here the background doily stamp. love it!

do you like these pages? let me know, I would love a comment from you!

Swirls & Curls

More Summer Mini projects. I guess summer really is over if the summer mini is retiring. I am still not ready for Fall! This card is made with mostly the flirtatious suite in the catalog, but the greeting is from the Swirls & Curls hostess stamp set. I love the little bird :)

Did you notice that I embossed the card after I added the Lace Ribbon Border?

My swap that wasn't

I am so lucky to belong to an awesome group of demonstrators. We get together often and this is a card swap I made. I was excited to get tons of cute cards from my friends, but unfortunately a horrible migrane hit me and I didn't finish them. So alas this is my swap that wasn't :)

Teacher Gift

Don't you love this owl? This was the teacher gift we gave at the end of school this year. I forgot to take a picture of the outside, but here is the inside of the clear mount case we decorated. I wanted this to be something useful, hopefully she liked it!

I actually wrote her a thank you note on the top page of this notepad, and my son made a card for her and wrote her a note. I told him that it might be a good idea to thank her for specific things and he said "I already took care of it mom" and showed me that he wrote " thanks for all the fun stuff we did" :) I love 7 year olds!

Cheerful Treat

I have been having lots of fun playing with the Cheerful Treat DSP and the new colors! I almost didn't even use any stamps... just the greeting :) The colors on this card are Lucky Limeade, Concord Crush, and Melon Mambo.

Check out the Designer Printed Brad - they are new this year in the in-colors. I definitely love the polka dot theme on this card!

Strength & Hope Pages

Last Chance for Strength & Hope! There is only a few more days to order this stamp set, and for each set sold, Stampin' Up! donates $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!!! I LOVE this cause and was more than happy to support it.

These are the pages we made back in May for stamp club.

School time

School is starting on Monday, which brings lots of change for us. This year I will have 2 kids going to school, (2nd grade and Kindergarten). They will be going to a brand spanking new school, and will be on a traditional schedule for the first time! I am definitely NOT ready for this yet! I LOVE LOVE LOVE summer. Definitely the best time of year in my mind. I still can't believe it is ending... I made this card to help me get excited for school time. I used the image from the Fruit & Flowers stamp set. The paper is from the Cheerful Treat DSP - it is the one that ONLY hostesses can get. I actually love it, especially this image.

School here we come!
