Tuesday's Digital Downloads and A Quick Big Shot Project

Hello! It's Tuesday which means it's time for new Digital Downloads for My Digital Studio. Today Stampin'UP! has added Baker's Twine and Paper Buttons to the list of Digital Downloads that you can purchase. If you would like to see the complete list then head on over to here.
Today's project is the last club project we did last week. Orders will be in Thursday for all of you in club. They are coasters made with the Big Shot. In a recent Stampin' Success they shared how to make these and after giving it a try I just had to share with everyone at club. They are super simple and would make a great housewarming gift or a fun way to help celebrate for any holiday. All you need are Cork Sheets, Medium Window Sheets, Designer Series Paper and Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets. I used the 3 1/2 " Circle Originals Die to make these coasters. To make these you need one sheet of everything except the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets those you need two off. I cut all the material to 4" x 4" to start with. You will make a sandwich that goes like this: Cork Sheet, Multipurpose Adhesive, Designer Series Paper, Multipurpose Adhesive then Medium window Sheet on top. Make sure you place the Designer Series Paper print that you want showing up when making the sandwich. Next place the sandwich with the window sheet down onto your Big Shot Die and roll it through just like you would card stock and when you are down you have a coaster. You can use any of the dies to make the coasters to have fun play around with other sizes, shapes and prints and if you need supplies give me a call and I will be happy to place your order for you. Thanks for stopping by today and as always have a great day! Tonya

Teddy Time!

Good morning! It is Monday and today I want to share another card using some retiring products including the stamp set Teddy and Train. The stamp set is one that I haven't used much I think this is only the second time I have had it out and inked it up. It is such a cute little set for baby cards and little boy cards. The other main stamp is in case you can't guess a train image. I may play around with that one in the next day or two, but we will see. The colors are Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz. The Designer Series Paper is Nursery Suite. The bear was colored with Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze Classic Ink Pads and the Aquapainter. I made the scalloped edge piece by cutting it twice and making it slightly smaller the second time. I will take pictures or try an video to show you how I did it. The ribbon is 1/8" Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and I used the Word Window Punch to punch out the Bundle of Joy Sentiment after I stamped it with Jet Black Stazon. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day, mine has been fantasic! Tonya

More Retiring Items

Good morning! It is rainy and overcast here and not the weather we need to be seeing for many reasons, but I am determined to get a lot accomplished today including sharing a project with you. Today's project is one that we did at club this week. It features quite a few retiring items including the Early Espresso 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/8" Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Things that I love Stamp Set, and the Baskets & Blooms Bigs XL Die which is on sale. The colors that we used are Baja Breeze, Early Espresso and Pink Pirouette Classic Ink and then Baja Breeze and Whisper White Card Stock. The tag is part of the Bigz Die and is easy to cut out the same time you cut out the basket. We did use the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch to accent the tag too. Really other than adding the sticky strip to the basket bottoms and sides this is a pretty quick project. Remember that these items are while supplies last so please give me a call or order the supplies for this or any of my projects before it is to late. Well, I am off to complete more items on my to due list so have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Love You a latte!

Good morning! Today I want to share with you one of the cards we are making for Stamp Club this week. It uses the Retiring Pun Fun Stamp Set. I used this set quite a bit when I first got it but it has been a little neglected lately. It tends to happen that way, I use a set like crazy when I first get it but then it tappers off when I get new sets. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock and was textured with the Texture Plates Kit #4 which will be retiring this month. We also used the Watercolor Paper to stamp the image on and then watercolored with the Aquapainter and the Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, and Soft Suede Classic Ink Pads. The image was stamped with Jet Black Staz on. The image was layered on Soft Suede Card Stock and the edge was punched with the Spiral Border Punch that will be retiring soon. We also used the retiring Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is stamped on Watercolor Paper and was stamped with the Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad and then was punched out with the 1 3/8 x 5/8 Oval Punch which has sold out. I had the sample made before it sold out but it has since then. The Spiral Punch and Designer Series Paper are while supplies last so don't delay if you are interested in purchasing these.

Hope is...

Good morning! There is a lot going on this week with two Stamp Club night and 7 baseball games so when I have time I have been working on projects but haven't had time to take pictures. Hopefully today, but I do have new stuff to show you still. Today's card uses the Strength & Hope set that is in the Summer Mini. If you haven't purchased this stamp set I encourage you to do so not only is it a great stamp set but you also will be helping find a cure for Breast Cancer. The base of this card is Baja Breeze. I also used Early Espresso, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake Card Stock on this card. The ink colors are Baja Breeze and Early Espresso. The ribbon is the Victoria Crochet Trim and I used both the Scallop Square Punch and the Postage Stamp Punch on this card. Pretty straight forward so I won't bore you with a lot of details. This set is available until the end of August if you are interested in purchasing it please let me know. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Garden Butterfly

Good morning! Thank you to all of you that came to my Cards That Move Class on Friday. I enjoyed seeing you all and will be emailing out dimensions for the cards later today. I hope that you had a great weekend. Ours was busy with Kaylee leaving on Mission Trip and baseball for all three of my boys over the weekend too. I didn't stamp this weekend but I do still have some cards to share from the class and others that Kaylee and I have been working on. Today's card is a spinner card which means the butterfly moves across the card front and spins or flutters by. The card is pretty simple so I will just give you supplies and if you have any questions please let me know. Supplies: Whisper White Card Stock, Peach Parfait Card Stock, Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper (retiring), Word Window Punch, Butterfly Punch, 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Flight of the Butterly Stamp Set, Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait Classic Ink Pads, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. We stamped the inside also but I forgot to get a picture of it. :( I am hoping to get lots of stamping done today with some of the retiring stamp sets. Just a reminder that the accessories that are retiring are while supplies last and there are some that are all ready sold out. Please do not delay on placing your orders for the accessories.
Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your Monday! Tonya

Bye-Bye Bugs!

Hello! We have had a busy morning but I am home now, at least for a little while and have a new card for you. This is another card that we will be doing tomorrow night at the Cards on the Move Class. It is a Waterfall Card with a full inside for your message. When the retirement list was announced I was not surprised to see Bugs and Kisses on the list but it is still a great set to have especially for boys which I have plenty of at my house. ;) The designer series paper is the Build a Bear Workshop Pawsitively Prints which is not only retiring but also on sale while supplies last. For the colors I used Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive. The little pull tab is made with the 1 3/8" x 5/8" Oval Punch which is also retiring at the end of June. I stamped the Whisper White inside panel with a few Real Red Ants so that is looks like they are climbing up the sides and top. These are my favorite kind of ants the stamped ones that don't really move.
Now that I have all the retiring set pulled out I will be working my way through them and using them again before they go. If you see one or more that you need to purchase before the end of the month give me a call and we will place your order.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! I am off to stamp and cut card stock for tomorrow nights class. If you are signed up to attend I will see you then. Until tomorrow, Tonya

Buzzin By into Retirement

Good evening! I got to stamp today and I am excited to share the new card with you. This will be one of the cards we are making on Friday at the Cards That Move Class. I used lots of soon to be retiring items on this card including the Just Buzzin' By Stamp Set, Daffodil Delight 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, and Jumbo Eyelets. This card is fun in that there is a secret message on the front of the card that you discover then you pull the ribbon. The other colors that I used on this card are Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Confetti Cream and Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. For ink I used Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, and Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pads and the Jet Black Stazon Pad. The Big Shot also came in hand on this card since I used three different items including the 3" Circle Die, Scallop #2 Die and the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Folder.

The second picture is the card when the ribbon has been pulled the the message is displayed.
The final picture is of the inside of the card. It is all ready to send. If you would like to make this card and 3 others be sure and let me know so I can get your supplies ready. I do have a few spots remaining so give me a call. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening, Tonya
