All Dressed UP!

Hello! I will admit that when the Spring Catalog came out I had no plans to order the All Dressed Up collection. I just didn't think I would need it... fast forward a month and I decided after seeing so many wonderful samples that I was wrong and I did "need" it. So I purchased the Dress Up Framelits and I love them! I have only made the one card so far but I see a lot more in my future. They are so easy to use and there are so many possible ways to make them your own. For this card I used Basic Gray Card Stock for my base and for my dress stand. The background paper and the dress are both Designer Paper from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper. Behind the dress is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock cut with an oval from the Oval Framelits Dies Collection and then embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder.  For embellishments I used both Baja Breeze Seam Binding and an Ivory 5/8"   Flower Trim that I used both the Baja Breeze and Island Indigo Ink Pad and an Aquapainter to color. I also added a few Basic Rhinestones. The sentiment is from the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit that was stamped using Basic Gray ink on Whisper White Card Stock and then punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered with a Island Indigo Scallop Oval Punch. I added the sentiment and the dress with Dimensionals. We will be making a card similar to this on Tuesday at my Stamp Time. You can attend the class at either 1pm or 7pm. Please just let me know which you prefer. Thanks for stopping by today and as always please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy  your day! Tonya

Birthday Cupcakes!

Tomorrow is the first of my two Birthday Card Classes so I have been busy getting all the supplies ready and set up so I haven't stamped anything new but I thought I would share a close up of the Birthday Card that we are making tomorrow that features the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set. This card is available in Regal Rose or Wild Wasabi. Both have the same basic design and can have either the Cupcake tower or the big cupcake. So for the list of supplies besides Regal Red Card Stock and Classic Stampin' Pad I used Wild Wasabi Card Stock and Classic Stampin' Pad, Marina Mist Classic Stampin' Pad, Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad, 2 Way Glue, Dazzling Diamonds, Marina Mist Designer Series Paper, 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Whisper White Card Stock, Blender Pen, Decorative Label Punch, and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder for the Big Shot. I have prepared 121 cards for the next two days but I hope to get in some fun stamping tomorrow evening or Sunday so be sure and check back again on Monday for new projects. This would be a great workshop card so if you are interested in making this card let me know and we can get some of your friends together and stamp. There is no better time than Sale-a-bration to host a workshop. Have a great weekend and Thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Anniversary Card for a Special Couple

This weekend was a super busy weekend, between the Debate Tournament, two Monogram Card Classes, Tableau's on Saturday Night at Church and my grandmother being in the hospital life was crazy. I didn't have a chance to take pictures of any new projects so I am going to share one from November that I haven't shared yet. It is an Anniversary Card for a couple we know that celebrated their 60th Anniversary. That number just boggles my mind, I can't imagine all they have seen in the 60 years they have been married. I used the Cherry Cobbler for the base and accented it with Early Espresso and Very Vanilla. The stamp set is Just Believe which we received at Convention and I love to use. I off stamped on the front so that it wasn't as dark then stamped the main image at full strength. The inside has the Happy Anniversary from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set also. I used the Modern Label Punch and the matching Big Shot Movers and Shapers Die on the front of the card. Oh, yes and a Pearl Basic Jewel was added to the flower on the front of the card. I didn't add ribbon since I was mailing it and I didn't want to many bumps in the card. Well, that's it for today. I am hoping to stamp today or at least take a few pictures of other projects so I can share more tomorrow. I also have club to prepare for. Don't forget that club is tomorrow night at 7pm. Well, I am going to run! Have a great day and hope you stop by again, Tonya

Silver Snowflake

I mentioned in a pervious post that I would try using the Snowflake #2 Die to make a candle holder. I had a little free time the other night so I gave it a try. This die is not as easy to use as the Flower die that I used but I do think with a little more trial and error I will get better results. I cut out three snowflakes from the Aluminum Flashing and stacked them to make the candle holder. The bottom layer is folded down, the middle layer is left flat and the top layer is folded upward to hold the candle in place. I also think this would make a really pretty ornament for a Christmas Tree. Just add ribbon through an open hole and you have a shiny ornament that should reflect the lights from your tree. I will have to take a look and see if there are other Big Shot Dies that will work for making candle holders or ornaments.
Today I am waiting on a couple of orders. Stamp Club orders will be arriving today as well as an order of supplies that I need. One is the Alphabet Simple Numbers Die that I need to finish up my Day's Til Christmas Countdown Board. I will try and share it either tomorrow or Monday. I have a few other projects started to share and My Christmas Stamp A Stack is this weekend. Need to starting the card stock for that. I love my job! It is so much fun to play with ink and card stock. If you would like to have a job like mine give me a call and we can chat. I am so glad I decided to sign up over 6 years ago. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Candy Corn Turkey

I have saw various turkeys through out the Internet and I wanted to create my own with the Sweet Treat Cups. With a little trial and error I created this little card that can be used at Thanksgiving to mark each place setting or to just give to the special people in your life. I used a lot of different punches but first let me give you the list of card stock used. Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso, Whisper White and Very Vanilla. The stamp set used is Teeny Tiny Wishes and the only ink colors used where the Crumb Cake Classic Pad and the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker. Now for the list of punches: Two Step Owl, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle, Modern Label Punch, Star Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" x 7/8" Oval Punch and the Heart to Heart Punch. The Sweet Treat Cup is filled with Candy Corn and there is a Scallop Circle attached with a Silver Brad that is keeping the candy corn in. All you have to do is open the flap and the candy corn can be removed without tearing up the card. You could easily personalize these with each person's name or simply add the Happy Thanksgiving. Are you ready to make a whole bunch of these for your Thanksgiving Feast? Give me a call if you need to order the supplies to make these I will be more than happy to help. Off to do some more creating. I have a list of other projects I would like to try. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will come back again. Tonya

Flower Fold Candle Holder

Did you know that you can cut metal with your Big Shot and the Standard Dies? Well that is just one of the things that you can cut as well as so many more. I was recently on Roxy's Blog and she had a video to show how to make these cute tea light candle holders using the Big Shot, Folded Flower Die, and Aluminum Flashing. I just had to give it a try. I used the Silver Flashing, but there is also White Flashing. You can find the flashing at your favorite Hardware store. If you can't find the flashing take a look in the roofing section which at my favorite store is Aisle 50. ;) You need one of each of the flowers except the smallest one. If you have a chance take a look as Roxy's Video. There are similar candle holders with the Snowflake Die which I will give a try later today. I will be sure and post the Snowflake Candle Holders when I get a chance. Also just a reminder that today is the first day that you can sign up to become a demonstrator at half off! Please give me a call if you have any questions about the requirements or details of being a demonstrator. It is one of the best decisions I have made and I would love to help you too. Thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Rejoicing in Christmas Stain Glass

Good afternoon, sorry for not posting a project yesterday but it was a busy day and time just ran short. Today I am sharing the other card we did at club this week. I try to do a new technique at each club so this month is was Stain Glass using Vellum. This technique isn't really difficult just requires some drying time for the markers. We stamped the main image from Rejoicing in Christmas on the Vellum with Versamark then used Silver Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool to emboss the image. Then we flipped the vellum over and colored on the back of the image with the Stampin' Write Markers. The colors we used were Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, and Blush Blossom. Now for the drying time. It takes a while for the markers to dry so we actually did two other projects while it did but with the magic of the computer we can go straight to the next step. ;) Using Crystal Effect we attached the Vellum to a piece of Whisper White Card Stock cut the same size as the Vellum. We added just a few drops at the top left corner and under the sentiment. We used the 1/16" Circle Punch to punch a hole in the center of the star and added a Silver Brad. The Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon was tied around the image before it was attached to the Night of Navy Panel. The base of the card is Crumb Cake. The sentiment is also from the Rejoicing in Christmas Stamp Set and the punch we used is the Decorative Label Punch. The card stock was cut to 3/4" and then stamped with Night of Navy Classic Ink then inserted in the middle of the punch for the interesting sentiment. The sentiment was added with Stampin' Dimensionals and the card is finished. I don't think I would make one of these for every person on my Christmas List but it would be a great card for few special people in your life. If you would like to make this card and need to order the supplies you can do so online or by giving me a call. Well, the weekend has started for us and even though it is going to be a cold rainy one we still have lots of activities. I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. I will be back on Monday with a new post and don't forget that Monday is the first day you can sign up to be a Demonstrator for 50% off. Give me a call if you have questions about it. Thanks again, Tonya

Hot Chocolate Gift

Good morning, it looks to be another beautiful day in Missouri. I just love that the sun is shining when I take the kids to school even though it is darker earlier to me the trade off is worth it. Today I want to share with you a project that I started last week but didn't get to finish. It is one that they shared at Convention and I had tucked away for a later date. Well here it is. I found these cute white mugs at a local retail store and decided they were prefect for my hot chocolate mugs. I used the Northern Frost Decorative Strip, Big Shot and Real Red Decor Elements Sheets to cut out the snowflakes. They are so easy to add to the mug. I used many of the various sizes just randomly placed on the cup. In the cup I added a homemade hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, and a candy cane. The tag is made with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Whisper White Card Stock and A Cute Christmas Stamp Set. I have this set in Clear Mount so both stamps were added to the same block inked with Basic Gray Classic Ink and stamped once. I used the Stampin' Write Markers in Baja Breeze, Real Red, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Basic Black to color in the snowman. A little 2 Way Glue and the Chunky Glitter for the snow and this tag is almost complete. I added a Baja Breeze snowflake also made with the Northern Frost Decorative Strip and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to finish off the tag. I used Real Red Satin Ribbon to tie my hot chocolate bag closed and the Clear Tinsel to add the tag to the bag. To finish off this gift idea I made a coaster with the Candy Cane Christmas Fabric. It was so easy to make just layer two pieces of fabric with a piece of cotton batting between then, run it through the Big Shot with the Clear Scallop Square Die. Hand stitch the edges with white thread and add a Candy Cane Big Designer Button in Real Red to the front corner. Super cute and so easy to make. I think I am going to make more of these to give as gifts to a few people this Christmas. I also have another mug made with Chocolate Chip snowflakes that will have a more vintage feel when I finish it. That's it for today, I have Stamp Club again tonight and volunteering at school today. Plus I hope to get some stamping done since I have a few ideas for new projects floating around in my head. :) Thanks for stopping by, I would love to hear from you so please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you would like to see me do next. Have a great Wednesday, Tonya

Fabric Fun!

Good evening, I thought I would share one of the cards we did at club tonight with you. It is a fun card with a little fabric as well as Design Series Paper. The base is Blushing Bride and we added a little detail with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. After adding the snow flakes the card was spritzed with the Shimmer Frost White and Alcohol homemade shimmer spritz. You can see the shimmer in the photos. We used the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric to make the ruffle along the bottom of the snowflake paper from the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper. The fabric was cut with the Big Shot and the new Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die. It was added to the back of the Designer Series Paper with Sticky Strip. The Blushing Bride 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon was tied around the card and knotted with a square knot. The cute little snowman is from A Cute Christmas Stamp Set and he is colored with our Stampin' Write Markers in Basic Black, Baja Breeze, Real Red, Blushing Bride and Garden Green after being stamped on Whisper White Card Stock with Jet Black Stazon. We used 2 Way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds to give the snow a little sparkle. The snowman was added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals after we added the Real Red Card Stock mat. I really think our Stamp Club hostess will like it as she enjoys the fun colors. Definitely a little non traditional and perfect if you don't always get your Christmas Cards out before Christmas as this can be a Happy New Year or Happy Winter card. Well, that's it for me. I am going to head off to bed. Thanks for stopping by again today and I will be back tomorrow with a new post. 'Til tomorrow, Tonya

Be Merry!

Hello! I decided to do some cleaning in my Craft Room this weekend so no stamping got done. I do have several projects started, if I could only finish one it would be great and of course this is club week so I will be working on Club Projects today too. I do have ideas for projects just need to complete my samples and cut out the supplies. So for today I am still working my way through some of the cards that I made for the Stack-a-Stamp. This card was one of the ones that the girls made with my wonderful daughter. The layout is simple but with the watercoloring, punching and Dazzling Diamonds I wanted it to be simple to make. The base of the card is Pretty In Pink Card Stock that has been embossed with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then spritzed with the homemade Frost White Shimmer Paint Spritz. The cute little girl was stamped on Whisper White Card Stock with Basic Gray Classic Ink. In case you didn't recognize her from previous post she is from the Greeting Card Kids Stamp Set. She was watercolored with the Classic Stamp Pads and Blender Pen. The colors used were Bravo Burgundy, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, So Saffron and the Blush Blossom Marker for her face. There is Dazzling Diamonds added to her coat trim and hat with 2 Way Glue. She is then layered on Pretty In Pink and Bravo Burgundy. The Bravo Burgundy layer has the bottom punched with the Eyelet Border Punch and more Dazzling Diamonds added. To finish off the card I snowflake was added that was made from the Northern Frost Decorative Strip and the be merry was added after being stamped with Basic Gray and punched out with the 1 3/8" x 5/8" Oval Punch. Oops I just realized as I am typing up this post that the be merry is from a retired stamp set. Well, I forgot that stamp the day the girls made their cards anyway and we had to improvise and added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the snowflake. I liked how those turned out too. It never fails I always forget something when packing for a workshop and for this one it was the be merry stamp set. Oh, well I will switch it out with a current stamp set and remove the retired set from my current sets. Now I am off to finish a project not just half start one and will be back tomorrow with a new post. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday! Tonya

No Big Shot Christmas Card

Good morning! Quick post today (I am actually typing this up on Thursday night) but I will share with you a card very similar to yesterday day's but with no Big Shot. I wanted something I little simpler for a workshop and cutting out around the Whisper White to make the mat takes a little more time than I wanted. So the base is the same Certainly Celery Card Stock with Certainly Celery Classic Ink. Then the sentiment was again stamped with Real Red and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. The only real change is that instead of the Top Note I cut a rectangle piece of Whisper White and Real Red for the tree image. I only added one Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the top of the tree but you could add as many as you like. Just a little simpler and a little quicker to make but still just as pretty. So which do you prefer? Let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Sparkle Snow Swirled Tree!

Hello! Well, I still haven't showed you all the Christmas Cards from last month's Stamp A Stack so today I will share another one with you while I work on a Gift Idea Project for another day. This card uses just one stamp set. I really love it when I can do that and two ink colors and for those of you without a Big Shot I will share with you a very similar card tomorrow that you can make with the same supplies without the Big Shot. Okay now back to the card. I stared with Certainly Celery Card Stock for the base and stamped snowflakes from the Snow Swirled Stamp Set on the background with Certainly Celery Classic Ink. Then I used the Big Shot and the Top Note Die to cut out the Whisper White and Real Red Card Stock for the tree image. Now to make this shape you first cut out the Top Note then rotate the card stock 90 degrees and cut again making this fun shape. I trimmed along the dotted lines of the Whisper White so that the Real Red matted it. The tree was stamped in Certainly Celery and then the Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added for sparkle and really every tree needs a little sparkle and decoration right. The sentiment was stamped with the Real Red Classic Stamp Pad then punched out with the Decorative Label Punch and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love how it fits this sentiment perfectly. So with three card stock colors, two stamp pads and one set you can have a wonderful card to sent to your family and friends. This will be one of the Christmas Cards we will be making at my upcoming Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack so if you would like to attend please let me know. I am off to finish a few projects that I have started and my daughter gets out of school early today so I get to pick her up and let you go visit her brothers at school for a little while. She hasn't been able to do that all year and I think she misses seeing the teachers and staff. Have a great day and come back tomorrow to see the no Big Shot version of this card. Tonya

It's A Case!

Good morning! Last week when I was making cards for my workshops I decided I needed another card that showcased the Tags Til Christmas Stamp Set. I decided to look through the catalog and came across page 124. It is really one of my favorite pages in the catalog and I decided that I needed a Christmas card in the same layout and design as the Basic Black card with the Butterfly on it. I changed out the base to Crumb Cake that I embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper punched out with the 1 3/4" Square Punch across the bottom and used the ornament from Tags Til Christmas stamped with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink then punched out with the Ornament Punch. I used dimensionals to pop up the ornament and added a Basic Jewel Pearl and a 1/8" Very Vanilla Taffeta Bow to finish it off. Quick and easy but still very pretty. The Tags Til Christmas and the Ornament Punch are currently available in a bundle so you save money when ordering them together. The Clear Mount Set and Punch are $31.92 and the Wood Mount and Punch are $38.32. Thanks for stopping by today and if you would like to order the supplies to make this card be sure and head over to my Online Store . Have a great day and I hope you stop by again tomorrow. Tonya

Gift for a Friend

Good afternoon! I have been wanting to share my most recent sewing project with you for a few days but I just had not found the time to edit the pictures. Well, today I decided to get the done so that I could share it with you. My daughter had asked for a Scallop Square Purse for a friend and after looking a several different fabrics she picked these bright and fun patterns. This is a smaller messenger style purse with a longer strap that is meant to go around you from one shoulder to the opposite hip. I used 22 sets Scallop Squares including those for the flap. I changed the batting just a little bit and used a cotton batting and cut it with the Scallop Square Die also then instead of cutting between the scallops I left them whole and just washed it to give it a more natural look. I did add a magnetic closure which is a first but was so easy to do. To cover the magnet on the outside flap I made a flower using the Stampin'Up! Blossom Party Original Die and more fabric. I added a Tempting Turquoise Button to the center of the flower then stitched it on the purse. I have added a close up of the flower below. Since my daughter has already gave the purse to her friend I can report that she really liked it and I have request to make one slightly smaller for another friend, so in my free time I will work on that design. Well, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and

if you have any questions about how to make your own purse let me know and I will be happy to answer your questions. See you tomorrow, Tonya

Christmas Quilt

Hello, I really can't believe how quickly October went by. I had a workshop last week with Carla and some friends and we made Christmas Cards. One of my favorite ways to showcase our Designer Paper is with the Quilt Cards. They are easy to make and with our Impressions Embossing Folders you can add some texture that makes the quilt look even more real. The Designer Paper I used is Deck the Halls and is in the Holiday Mini. The base of the card is Always Artichoke Card Stock which gives the card a nice rich look. We used the 1 3/4" Square Punch to punch out the Designer Series Paper then attached it to a Whisper White Base and ran it through the Big Shot with the Top Note Die. The Impressions Folder that I used is the Petals A Plenty Folder. We used Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding around the middle of the Quilt. The sentiment is from two stamp sets and I showed the guest how to use the Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the different parts of the tag as well as omitting. We used the Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the tag image from the Tags Til Christmas Stamp Set and omitted the to and from. Then we used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and added the Merry Christmas to the tag. After stamping the tag we punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch. Did you know that you can order the Decorative Label Punch and the Tags Til Christmas Stamp set together and save now through Dec. 16. On the inside of the card we added a Very Vanilla Top Note so that it made the card easier to sign. With one package of Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla Card Stock and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper you can make 48 Christmas Cards! Wow that is a great way to get started on your cards. I will be back tomorrow with another project and look for some blog candy later this week when I have my 400th post. Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions please let me know. I am happy to help. 'Til Tomorrow, Tonya
