Designer Type Photopolymer Stamp Set

 

My new Designer Type Photopolymer Stamp Set arrived recently and while I haven't had a chance to make a card with it I did want to ink it up and see what my first impressions were. I decided to take a few pictures to share with you so you can get an idea of how this new stamp set inks, stamps and so on. The top picture is of the stamp set after I took it out of it package. They do not come in the clear cases like our other stamp sets but rather in a plastic sleeve and are between to clear pieces of plastic. The black outline that you see in the picture above is on the plastic not the stamps themself. The next picture is of a stamped image. I placed the letters on the clear block with not spacing betweent them. So the stamped image is what you would get if you just line up the images. If you want the letters closer together you will need to stamp each letter individually.

Below is the stamps while on the block. The first picture is of them clean and the second is with the ink on them. They are see through so make sure you put them back on their sheet after stamping as they could easily get lost. They are super sticky and I had no problem with them sticking to the block. They are a good small set of letters for stamping names and such. The image is crisp and clean when stamped and I used the new foam pad in Midnight Muse.  I haven't inked up any of the other images but will be sure and share the results when I do. I hope this is helpful to those of you that are considering the purchase of this set. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day! Tonya

Smore's Easter Treats!

Hello! First let me say I am sorry I have been so quiet this week. That was not my intention but with a sick child that was home for two days and a trip to visit a college with the oldest time for posting has seemed to get away from me. Tonight I wanted to share Smore's Treats that I have ready for Easter to give to some special kids. They are quick to make and so much fun to eat. A fellow demonstrator posted the idea at Halloween and I tucked it away until Easter. The Stamp Sets I used are Ears to You and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used both Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write Markers and Card Stock to make the toppers. I used the Labels Collection Framelits and stamped two of the three bunnies on Whisper White Card Stock. I stamped with Happy Easter with Basic Gray and punched it out with the Word Window Punch and layered with on Basic Gray Card Stock punched out with the Modern Label Punch. I used resealable bags that I found at a local craft store to put my peep, chocolate bar and graham crackers in. All you need to do is pop it in the microwave and enjoy. I also sold these at the Ladies Day out at the YWCA and if you are local and would like some for your Easter Baskets just let me know and I will be happy to make them for you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening! Tonya

Jacob's Ducks

Hello and welcome to my blog. It is Friday which means not only is it the last day of the school week but it is also the last day of Sale-a-bration. I am sad to see it end and hope you have had the chance to place your order and receive the wonderful benefits or maybe you decided to join the Stampin'Up! family. Not only is the kit a wonderful deal at only $99, you receive over $156  in merchandise but you can also then sign up for Convention which is in Salt Lake City in July. This years convention is the 25th Anniversary and I am sure it will be big but the only way to go is to be a demonstrator. Ok enough about that. Today I want to share the little duck candy treats that my son made recently while helping me get ready for a show I did. He punched them out and assembled them all. He worked a little bit off of an idea in his head and one he saw online. He used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black Card Stock and the following punches. 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Small Oval Punch, Owl Builder Punch and Boho Blossoms Punch. He used the 2 Way Glue to assemble them and then added them with a Glue Dot to the top of our 1" x 8" Cellophane Bags. Which will hold three packages of Smarties. The perfect little extra for a Easter Basket.
Busy day with a lot to accomplish so I had better run. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend. Tonya

Tomorrow is the last Day!

 To Sale-a-brate! If you haven't had a chance to place your order yet or sign up to join my team and get $156.50 in product for only $99 then you need to stop what you are doing and give me a call. I don't want you to miss out on this great opportunity. Remember for every $50 you order you get one free Sale-a-bration item. Order $150 and you get three free Sale-a-bration items plus and additional $25 in free product. That is a lot of free items just for placing your order before the end of Friday. I am working on an order for a few items I need myself, card stock, adhesive and maybe a few other fun items. I will have a new post for tomorrow but until then let me know how I can help you. Thanks, Tonya

Stamped Tiles

Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set, Early Espresso Ink, Raspberry Ripple Ink and Old Olive Ink

 

One of the items that I had for sale at a recent vendor event were these coaster tiles. They are really easy to make and I love that you can personalize them with the first initial of the receipent. I didn't add initials as I like to be able to do them as they are purchased. The upper tile uses the Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set, while the two below use the Papillon Potpourri and the Betsy's Blossoms Stamp Sets. With our new Foam Ink Pads you can just stamp, add Clear Embossing Powder and heat. I have done these both with our Heat Tool or if I am doing several at once I can just pop them in the oven on a low heat and keep an eye on them while they emboss. If you would like to order one or if you want to learn how to make your own embossed tile just contact me and I will be happy to help you. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Tuesday. Tonya

Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set, Primrose Petal Ink, Perfect Plum Ink, Chocolate Chip Ink 

Betsy's Blossoms Stamp Set, Old Olive Ink, More Mustard Ink, Bravo Burgandy Ink and Midnight Muse Ink.

Itty Bitty Birthday

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was filled with activities, Church and lots of excitement. Good excitement at least this weekend. It is hard to believe that Sale-a-bration will be ending in just five days. The two months have flown by and I sure don't want you to miss out on this great promotion. Several of you are working on your orders so I thought I would share a couple more options with you as you pick out your free items. Today's card uses both the the Pretty Petites Stamp Set and the Petite Curly Label Punch. I picked colors from the color chart and paired Island Indigo, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White. Since I was punching out the stamped image I put all four on one block inked them with the Stampin' Write Markers and stamped them all once then punched. I also used the Itty Bitties Stamp Set to make the party hats and the small cupcake on the two right hand images. The party hats of course needed some bling so I added a couple of the smallest Basic Rhinestones and the cupcake was punched out with the Owl Builder Punch. Behind the stamped images I used the Argyle Impressions Embossing Folder, add a bit of Whisper White Baker's Twine and this 3x3 card is ready for a birthday bag. Please let me know if you have any questions about Sale-a-bration and I will be happy to answer them for you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tonya

Spring is in the Air

 

 

Spring is definitely in the air and I love that Stampin'Up! is sharing the sneak peaks with us from the new catalog. The current catalog runs until the end of May so in June we get a new catalog filled with new goodies. I can't wait and with the new Spring Surprise Bundle I don't have to and neither do you. The A Round Array Stamp Set will be in the 2013-2014 Catalog but from now until May 30th you can buy the clear mount option with the coordinating 7/8" Scallop Punch for 15% off. Both for only $23.95 and if you all ready have the bunch you can order just the clear mount stamp set for $14.95. The set is available in English, Spanish and French and I have added a picture below. Order this week and you are almost half way to a free Sale-a-bration set. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need help placing an order. I have one going in soon so contact me and I can add your items. Thanks for stopping by and be sure and scroll down for the treat container that I shared earlier today.

Petal Cone Carrot

Happy Friday to you! It is going to be a beautiful warm day here in Missouri and I can't wait. I love Spring and Summer and with Easter right around the corner I have a little treat holder to share with you. I only used the Petal Cone Die and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set for this project well and some card stock, Baker's Twine and Adhesive but it really came together quickly. The "carrot" is cut out with Pumpkin Pie Card Stock and then folded and sealed along the edge creating a pocket for our treats. I cut out two Lucky Limeade Scallop Pieces (also on the die) and on the front one I cut between every other scallop to give it a more dimensional look. That was attached to the back flap of the carrot and the front flap was folded down. There is a banner on the die also and I cut one out and then cut it in half and stamped the Happy Easter in Basic Gray and attached it to the carrot with the Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine and a Glue Dot to hold it in place. I filled these with chocolate bunnies and sold these at the Ladies Day Out at the YWCA. If you need a few treat containers these they are quick and easy and I still have a few leftover that if you are local I would be happy to sell you either with or without the candy. Thank you for stopping by today and remember that there is only a week left to Sale-a-brate! Tonya
