Easter Blessings Card

I actually spent some creative time in my studio yesterday. I realized if I was going to send Easter cards, that I'd better "hop" to it and get them made and in the mail! This is one I saw that another Demonstrator had made. It was so pretty, I had to try it.

I used my Big Shot for several different components of this card. The embossed background, the scallop oval, and the oval were all created using my Big Shot. The Easter Blessings stamp is a single stamp and is available in the Spring Catalog. The flower is from the Nature Walk Stamp Set, and the little butterfly is from the Lovely Little Labels Stamp Set. Both of these sets can be found in the Annual Catalog.

There are a couple of different ways to get the two-tone look while stamping. One way is to color directly on your stamps with your Stampin' Write Markers. This works very well, especially if you are using several different colors. With these stamps, since I was just using two colors, I inked up the entire stamp with the main color, then wiped off the part of the stamp that I wanted a different color. Then I used my Stampin' Write Marker to recolor that area. I think this method gives a bit more of a crisper look when stamped.

There are so many great things going on right now with Stampin' Up!

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Thanks for stopping by ~

Thinking Outside the Box

By now you should have received your surprise box filled with all the materials needed to complete your first Paper Pumpkin project. Even though complete instructions are included, I decided to think "outside" the box and show you 4 different variations for this project.

I tried to use only the materials included in the kit, but I couldn't put my buttons on my cards without adding some Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine. Another fun addition would be the Basic Rhinestones or Pearls. Even with changing my cards up a bit, I completed them in about 20 minutes! Now I have some cards on hand, ready to stamp a sentiment on the inside, hand write a short note, and pop them in the mailbox. I'm already looking forward to next month to see what my surprise box will bring me!

What fun, the anticipation of a new project delivered right to your doorstep each month. If you haven't signed up yet, you will need to sign up by the 10th of the month to get your Paper Pumpkin project that month. Each project is designed to be completed in 30 minutes or less! Reward yourself, and set aside a little creative time. Visit the Paper Pumpkin website HERE to get your first project on it's way. Be sure to choose me as your Demonstrator ~ Thanks!

I hope some of you are able to enjoy the beginning of Spring. We have been slammed with a Spring snowstorm! Last measurement, about 8 inches. My poor daffodils and crocuses have been buried alive!

Dress Up Frame

Oh my goodness! There is so much going on with Stampin' Up! and life. I'm going to try to get you all caught up without writing a book here, and share my latest project.

First just a quick personal update. We were blessed with our 5th grand child on January 29th. We have 4 beautiful grand daughters, and now have a beautiful grand son, Elliott. He was just a bit stubborn making his appearance, and had to be delivered by c-section, but all is well. My oldest son now has our oldest grand daughter (14) and a newborn.

I was happy that Elliott made his arrival before my annual Sister Trip. My three sisters and I go to Marco Island for a long weekend, and I was afraid I would be gone when he decided to come. The timing was perfect. I was here for his arrival, and was able to enjoy an awesome trip with my sisters.

Now, for my latest project. I didn't think that I "needed" the Dress Up Framelits from the Spring Catalog, but I have seen so many cute projects done with them, I decided to order them. I was trying to be good, and not order everything! I love this catalog, and yes, I now own almost everything in it!

I am very happy with the way this turned out. I can't wait to do more in different color combinations! My daughter just moved into a new home, and has three girls. Guess what they're getting for their new rooms.

Most of the products used here can be found in the Spring Catalog. The patterned paper is the Tea For Two  DSP. The adorable little hangers are the Hang Up Cute Clips. I just used my Craft & Rubber Scissors to cut the clip part off so it would look more like a hanger. The fabric flower is one flower cut from the 5/8" Flower Trim. I used a Sponge Dauber and dabbed it with just a bit of Calypso Coral Classic Ink.
