Red, White, and Blue!

Memorial Day is almost here and I thought I would share this card that I CASE'd from the Summer Mini. I just love this set and wheel and thought the card in the mini really was great. I made a few minor changes but for the most part it is the same. This card would also be perfect for 4th of July Invites. If you do not have a Summer Mini and would like to see one give me a call or email me and I will be happy to set you up. The Summer Mini runs until August 31 so there is plenty of time to order from it or host a workshop and make this card there. The supplies used are Crumb Cake Card Stock (formerly Kraft), Real Red Card Stock, Not Quite Navy Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Versamark Ink Pad, Real Red Stampin' Write Marker, Not Quite Navy Stampin' Write Marker and Night of Navy Classic Stamp Pad. The Stamp Set is July Fourth and the wheel is Red, White and Blue. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a safe and happy Memerial Day Weekend. Tonya

Teachers' Book Bags

Hello! No stamping today, it was just to pretty of a day and we spent the whole day outside. I do have the sunburn to prove it on my legs. So I have a book bag to share that I recently made for one of the wonderful teachers at our school. Each of my kids picked out the fabric for a bag for each of their teachers. I will share the flower bag today that went to our kindergarten teacher. I made the bag a little wider so accommodate papers and books that they might want to take home. The straps are a little longer too. I used the Big Shot and the Clear Scallop Die which makes cutting the squares so simple and quick. I made three other bags but I will wait and share those another day. If you would like to learn how to make this bags yourself just give me a call and we can set up a class. I will be back tomorrow to share a stamping project. I haven't had a chance to upload and edit the pictures yet but will this evening. Thanks for stopping by and remember that June 1 is when the Retiring List for Stamp Set and Accessories will be posted. I hope you come back again, Tonya

Kindergarten Graduation Card

Since my youngest graduated from Kindergarten this last week he of course needed a card to help celebrate the milestone and believe me it is a milestone. I wanted to keep the card simple yet fun and bright. I used Crushed Curry, Real Red and Ballet Blue which is a cheerful combo. The stamp set that I used is Starry You and is a favorite of mine for the boy cards that I often have to make. I also used Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon, Large Star and Star Punch and the Large Oval Punch. The card stock colors are Real Red, Ballet Blue, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. There is one Silver Brad added to the center of the stars to add a little accent. The graduate loved his card and is so proud that he graduated. The card really went together rather quickly which is always great when time is short. Remember that if you want to place an order for the retiring colors that it is as easy as placing an order online or sending me an email. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back again. Tonya

My Digital Studio: Introduction

Birthday Fun!

Hello all! Sorry for not posting much the last few days. Life has been busy with so much going on in our family. It has been fun and I do have some projects to share but just haven't had time to write up the posts. So today I am sharing with you a Birthday card that I made for my niece recently. She just turned 9 and is quite the kid. She likes thinks bright so I though a tempting turquoise card was in order. I used the new Island Oasis Designer Series Paper that has been Scalloped along the bottom with the Scallop Edge Punch. Then I pulled out my Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and started stamping. Each image is stamped on Whisper White Card Stock with the Basic Gray Classic Stamp Pad. I used So Saffron, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink Pads and Blender Pens to color in the images. They were layered behind So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red Card Stock. To finish up the card I added the Happy Birthday sentiment to the bottom of the card and layered it behind a Modern Label Punch with a few Silver Brads. I think she liked the card and she even commented that she had the one I made her from last year still. Makes me feel good to have her say that. If you would like to purchase the supplies to make this card please contact me and I will be happy to help you place the order. Have a great day, Tonya

Graduation Card with MDS!

Hello to all! It has been a busy last few days. We had two graduations, a graduation lock in and company visiting, so sorry for no posts lately. Today I want to share with you the graduation card that I made for my wonderful daughter this week. She graduated from the 8th Grade this week. The card I made does not have any stamping on it. I didn't have a graduation set that I wanted to use so I purchased the Go Graduate Plus Stamp Brush Set, printed off the image of the graduates feet and the sentiment on Whisper White Card Stock and then watercolored the graduate image with blender pen and Aquapainter. The card stock used is Ballet Blue, Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Black. I used the Scallop Edge Punch, and Real Red Gingham Ribbon. You might notice the texture on the top portion of the card and this is made with the Stampin'Up! Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the new Summer Mini. The other little element that I added is the mini diploma that I made just by rolling a small piece of Whisper White Card Stock up and using a Mini Glue Dot to hold it in place. I hope you like today's card and see just how easy it is to use the My Digital Studio Downloads. If you would like a complete list of downloads available please let me know. Oh, I forgot to mention that they are so quick to get because there is no shipping time just purchase the Digital Download that you want, download it to your computer and it is ready to use. Busy day again tomorrow but I will post later in the day. Thanks and have a great day, Tonya

Patriotic Bag

Not much stamping going on this week it was more of a cleaning and laundry week with us trying to get ready for the graduations. I did complete this patriotic bag when I was making my mom's tractor bag. This one is for my sister in law and is a bigger size perfect for summer. This was made with assorted denim jeans in various colors for a fun look and the patriot red, white and blue flag fabric. Would you like your own bag? If so give me a call or email me and I will be happy to make one just for you and if you sign up to be a demonstrator with my stamping team I will make you your own bag for free as a thank you for joining my team. Let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. Thanks, Tonya
