Last Day to Sale-a-brate!

Good afternoon, well yesterday got away from me but not in a bad way. I had the opportunity to send some time with the Youth in our church and I decided to seize the chance and boy am I glad I did, but I didn't get a chance to post a project. Sorry about that. I have a very important Birthday Party coming up this weekend and I have been busy creating fun projects for the girls. Today I want to share the card holder with you. It is designed to resemble a purse and each one will have one of the girl's initials on it. It will hold four cards and envelopes for each girl to take home and use. I will be making all the purses but the girls will make the cards. If you would like to learn how to make this purse don't worry I am scheduling a class for April with a new Designer Series Paper and Stamp Set that will be available in April then not again until the new catalog comes out in July. The colors in the purse are Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Poppy Parade.
Finally today is the last day to place your Sale-a-bration orders. If you would still like to place an order you can call me or place your order online. I do have an order going in today and if you are local I would be happy to combine the orders and save shipping cost for you. If you would like to start your own Stampin'Up! business now is a great time. Call me and we can chat about the wonderful opportunity. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

A Good Luck Case!

Good evening, I am late posting tonight but I have a good reason. My oldest son and I are out of town for a Future Problem Solving Contest and we have been traveling. This card however isn't for him but rather for my daughter who has a track meet tomorrow. I can't be there with her but I did want to let her know that I was thinking of her and wanted to wish her luck. I didn't have a lot of time to stamp today so I cases a card from the Catalog. I just changed the sentiment and colors to match my daughter's personality. I don't have a catalog with me right now but I will update later with the page number. The colors I used are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Tempting Turquoise and Rich Razzleberry. The sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations Stamp Set and is stamped with Early Espresso Classic Ink. I used a Vintage Brad in the center of my flower which was cut with the Big Shot with the Island Blossoms Die. I did a little shimmer with the Shimmer Mist which is hard to see in the photo.
One last thing before I go I used random org to pick my blog candy winner and the winner is Penni Litwiller said...

Thanks for stopping by to late tonight, Tonya

Springtime Vintage Hair Bow

Good afternoon. Today is a busy day out our house with our family getting ready for my boys music program tonight but I did want to share with you this Springtime Vintage Hair Bow that I made the other day. I used the Scallop Circle #2 Die and the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric and a Night of Navy Button from the Springtime Vintage Big Designer Buttons. My daughter wore this one last night and commented on how light it was to wear. I am going to make more and if you would like to buy a hair bow contact me and I will work with you on fabric styles. Okay I am off to get a few more things done before I need to go get kids. Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by. Oh and don't forget to leave a comment on my Blog Candy to be entered to win. Tonya

Petal Cone Carrot

Good morning, I love the versatility of the Petal Cone Die and I sure hope it is in the new catalog in July. Carrots have been popping up all over the internet and I just had to give it a try. This will be one of the projects that we are making at my Easter Class which is coming up next month. The Carrot is made from Pumpkin Pie Card Stock that has been run through the Big Shot to add texture then sponged with the Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink and a Sponge. The cute little bunny is from the Forest Friends Stamp Set which you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase now through March 31. I inked the bunny with the Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad then wiped his nose off with a cotton swap and reinked it with Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker and stamped it on Very Vanilla Card Stock. Below the bunny I stamped Happy Easter from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in with the Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to punch out the Bunny. That was layered on an Old Olive Scallop Circle that was made with the Pennant Bigz XL Die. To finish up the carrot I used the Little Leaves Sizzlit Die and cut three of leaves from Old Olive Card Stock. To attach it to the top of the Petal Cone Die I used another Old Olive Scallop Circle that had a hole in the center for the stems to feed through I then attached the scallop circle to the top of the petal cone with Dotto as it is a repositionable adhesive which make it easy to remove to get the candy out without tearing up the carrot. You can order all the supplies to make this project online or just give me a call and I will be happy to help you place your order. Don't forget that I have Blog Candy to be given away on Friday. If you haven't left me a comment on that post then please take a moment to do so. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Star Quilt Update

Happy Monday Morning! I am headed out soon to go grocery shopping but before I did that I wanted to give you an update on the quilt. It has come a long way since the previous post and while the top isn't finished yet, it is getting closer. I am also going to do some fabric shopping while I am out. :) The quilt has came together pretty quickly but I am trying to decide what to add next. I feel like it needs another color around the whole thing but am not sure what. Any suggestions? Leave me a comment if you have an idea. I would really love to hear from you.
I am also hoping to do some stamping today and finish up a few projects that are started on my table. If that works out then I will start posting those tomorrow. Don't forget that Sale-a-bration will soon be ending if you haven't placed your orders yet to receive your free item there is still time. Give me a call I would be happy to help you. Well, I am off to the store. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Big Shot Star!

Good morning! I love my Big Shot and use it all the time in fact I probably use it every time I am stamping but this week I have been using to for fabric projects including today's post. I am currently working on a quilt. It isn't going to be a big quilt only about 36" x 48" but a quilt none the less. I have four of the blocks sewn and the other 9 are ready to start sewing which I will be working on today. For this project I used the 5 Point 3D Star Bigz Die and the Big Shot. I cut 5 star points per block and used a Patriot themed fabric. I will be sure and take a picture of the finished quilt top (hopefully sometime this weekend) to share with you. Have you every thought about buying the Big Shot? Did you know that as a Demonstrator you can get the Big Shot for 30% off on your first Stampin'Up! order (there are conditions that must be met for this to apply) or you can order the Big Shot and receive free Sale-a-bration sets! Even as a demonstrator you will receive Sale-a-bration reward while making a purchase. So why not give me a call and see what Stampin'Up! has to offer you. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day, Tonya
