This one is in honor of Neil Armstrong. The astronaut in all of us mourned the loss of a hero this past week. This stamp set seemed appropriate, as it's every little boys fantasy to be a spaceman. The Blast Off stamp set (#125944, wood #125946), coupled with the new Chevron impressions folder for the textured background pair nicely together.Archives for August 2012

This one is in honor of Neil Armstrong. The astronaut in all of us mourned the loss of a hero this past week. This stamp set seemed appropriate, as it's every little boys fantasy to be a spaceman.

August 31, 2012 by
Here are a few more fun Frightening Feline Halloween cards. The Frightening Feline is a single stamp in the new 2012 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. These cute cards came from the Providence, RI Regional Event this past weekend.
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Field Flowers Sympathy
August 30, 2012 by
Today's video tutorial offers a super cool masking technique, creating the effect of a "faux layer" and adding dimension to the card. The gorgeous flowers come from the Field Flowers stamp set, which is a 2-step stamp set. 2-step stamp sets offer a quick easy solution to coloring, as there are 2 stamps to each image that can be stamped in different colors (demonstrated in the video). Add the Petite Pairs word stamp set and this sympathy card becomes an all occasion card simply by changing the words.Providence Regional Event
August 29, 2012 by
This past Saturday (Aug 25) myself and almost 20 demos and friends from my group were able to attend the Stampin' Up! Regional event in Providence, RI!! Wow, so many ideas and so much fun. It was just what the Dr. ordered, a little "stamp time" with friends. A great time was had by all. Here's a couple of pictures, I'm sad I didn't get one of the whole group together...next time!Frightening Feline Card – Part 2
August 28, 2012 by
Here's some more Frightening Feline kitty fun for ya! This one uses the Spider web impressions folder and the new satin striped ribbon from the Holiday catalog, it's to die for {insert evil laugh}.Frightening Feline Card – Part 1
August 27, 2012 by
Frightening Feline aka: Scaredy Cat! Or maybe Scary Cat...but he's not really that scary. This stamp from the Holiday Catalog just makes me smile, I love all of the "spooky" fun words that create the cat image. He almost reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.VIDEO TUTORIAL: Toxic Treat Window Boxes
August 24, 2012 by
It's time for some freaky fun "Toxic Treat" Halloween projects. Who doesn't love giving Halloween candy and treats for the kids, little and big. Today's video tutorial is a super easy and fun "window" goody / candy box, using the Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up! and a super stinkin' cute box top made from the Scallop Square big shot die of all things. This box is big enough to fit lots of candy, and other gifts. More fun video tips include glass glitter and pop up banners.

August 20, 2012 by
How do they do that?! The "impossible bottle" is a bottle that has an object inside it that does not appear to fit through the mouth of the bottle. The ship in the bottle is a traditional example, and in the case of this card maybe the easiest "ship in a bottle" to create since all you really have to do is "stamp it" in there lol.
This card is more than a sailors dream, any sea-lover would enjoy it's creativity. Created with the Open Sea stamp set (#123030 wood, #123032 clear mount).Need for Speed Race Car
August 19, 2012 by
Here's another great card from one of my new favorite stamp sets: Need for Speed set (#122715 wood, #122717 clear mount). Yesterday I posted a video using the airplane. This was a display sample I saw at Stampin' Up convention, the car was stamped repeatedly, without re-inking for the "motion" effect.
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Fighter Jet Plane Love
August 18, 2012 by
Sky-writing some love today in a tribute to our military pilots, my Grampy included. Whether Air Force, Navy or just a jet plane lover (I know a few) this card will be a big hit! The plane from the Stampin' Up! Need for Speed set (#122715 wood, #122717 clear mount) looks close to the F-18 fighter jets my kids and I love to watch. My video tutorial demonstrates how to create this high flying fun, originally designed by Vicky Hayes.Hello Doily Sympathy Card
August 17, 2012 by
This is a beautiful sympathy card, created with the Hello, Doily background stamp (#122845 wood, #122847 clear mount). The sentiment is from the Word Play stamp set (#120308 wood, #120651 clear mount). The ink color is Soft Suede on Very Vanilla card stock. Very soft and elegant.Hello Kitty Card
August 14, 2012 by
Hello Kitty is one of the most recognized characters, and now...she's a card! With just a few punches, she's complete. Love the red glimmer paper, the perfect effect for the bow. The bow was created with our old butterfly punch and a circle, but you can create a very similar bow with the heart punch (twice).World Treasure Peacock Card
August 13, 2012 by
Peacocks are famous for their showy feathers, and this World Treasures stamp set (#126765 wood, 126767 clear mount) set is a lot of fun to "show off". The words are from the new Sweet Essentials stamp set (#126455 wood, 126457 clear mount). Created by Linda Cullen, colored with Stampin' Write markers in Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Footprints in the Sand
August 2, 2012 by
Another video tutorial from my "what I did on my summer vacation" series. Nothing says summer like the beach, sand, surf and footprints in the sand. This card takes the Baby Prints Stamp Set "outside the box" and into the ocean lol. Inspired by "The Zindorf" (Michelle Zindorf that is), this water theme comes to life and you can just Imagine the Possibilities.Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog – not so mini
