Stampin' Up! Autumn Days Card Idea

I think I want this vase and arrangement for a centerpiece for my table!

The Autumn Days set has such great fall images.  And the vase is such a clever idea!

It uses the wide oval punch... snip off one end, and then use the punch to round the other end to create a curved top!  How Cute!
Add a litle strip of dusty durango cardstock w/ a flower punched from the boho blossoms punch and viola!  Super cute card in just minutes. 

This was my favorite card from stamp club this month.  Which one was yours???

Stampin' Up! Delightful Decorations Card Idea

Club members used the NEW Delightful Decorations set, coordinating ornament punch and Holiday Lounge designer series paper on this fun and bright card.

Not your traditional colors... ruby red and taken with teal... that's why I love it!

See you back tomorrow for the last project from stamp club.

Stampin' Up! Thoughts & Prayers Masculine Card Idea

Here is project number one that my monthly club members made this weekend.....

This is a great masculine card idea using the Thoughts & Prayers set.  I embossed the tree in gold on always artichoke cardstock, then layered it on dusty durango cardstock.  The base is chocolate chip.  I added some texture to the background by using the sanded background stamp. 

See you tomorrow for card 2.

Stampin' Up! Purses from Punches Card

This is such a clever idea! It's one of the cards we made at my last Stamp-A-Stack Class.


This card features the Circle Circus stamp set and uses LOTS of punches! I stamped an image from the set in 3 different colors.... certainly celery, bermuda bay and crushed curry. Then I punched them out using the 1-3/8" circle punch.


Next, I created handles by punching out the large oval punch from soft suede cardstock, then, from the scrap I used the scallop oval punch tocreate a punched out scallop ring. The purse clasp was made with the ends of the modern label punch and a gold brad.

The punced accents along the top and bottom are made with the spiral punch.

Make sure to sign up for an upcoming class. You can view my events schedule HERE.

Blog tour day 4--PINK and BLACK Attack is BACK!

Only one day left.... BOO HOO! I know you are enjoying the RemARKable New Catalog Blog Tour, and I am having so much fun stamping with items from the new catalog! You will see TONS of new ideas at my New Catalog LUAU on July 17! If you want to know more about how you can attend this FREE event, sign up for my newsletter by using the signup box on the right.

Ok, on to some more fun ideas!

I LOVED the colors in yesterday's post, so I kept them going again today! (I think that the ones from yesterday and today will make a great class this summer :)

Here I used the BIG SHOT alot! I used the top note and daisy dies plus the polkadot texture plate to create this little masterpiece! The stamp set featured is the Circle Circus set with Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink and Basic Black ink/paper. So much fun fun fun!

The images in the Teeny Weeny Wishes set all fit inside the new Modern Label punch too.... (do you think SU! knew when they created it????) They are so bad! So much coordination it drives me crazy! We are definitely the one stop shop for all things wonderful!
The accent on the card below was done with a build a brad! I had to dust these little guys off to use them. I totally forget about how great they are to make a fabulous accent. Use the 1/2" circle punch to punch out your image, apply it to the top of the brad with snail.... apply the clear bubble and viola! Insta brad! (The Thank You is also from the Teeny Weeny Wishes set.)

Here's a close up of that accent! It's actually one stamp from the Circle Circus set, stamped on different colors of cardstock with different inks, and then you use different punches to punch out several layers of that one image. FABULOUS!

Well, I'm definitely a girly girl, and these adorable little treasures are right up my alley!

Watch my calendar of events to find out when you can come over to my pad and make these for yourself!

Well, now you are off to Denise Thomas' blog... See you back tomorrow! :)

Mini Madness! Day 9

The ladies at my Get Connected FREE Class last night had a ball looking at all the cool ideas I have been coming up with to post for these challenges. Yes, they got a sneak peek of some of the items you'll be seeing posted here in upcoming Mini Madness posts! :)

And, in talking about getting connected with our friends and family.... we all agreed that we need to be better about giving little notes and small gifts to the special people in our lives. And, as we all know... there is NO BETTER gift/note than a HANDSTAMPED Stampin' Up! one!!!!

At the free class, the ladies got to make a cute little box... YES! A MATCH BOX! :) They also used the new Oval All set with the large oval punch and the new scallop oval. The moss piece behind the scallop is actually one of the pieces from the matchbox die... it has 3 different sized tags/labels that it cuts too! They also used the texture plates for the BIG SHOT on the outside of their box.
And inside.........

4 cute mini notes to give to friends and family! Are they not THE cutest little notes you've ever seen!!!!

They are SO easy and fun to make!

Stop back tomorrow for DAY 10 :)

Blessings :)

1-2-FREE Projects

Here are the 2 projects my ladies made for free last week at my 1-2-FREE class.

This is an adorable pillow box made with the Big Shot. It also uses the FREE sale-a-bration paper and ribbon. We used the wide oval punch and a window sheet to create a see through box... with CHOCOLATE inside! My favorite!

This card uses the Polka Dot Punches sale-a-bration set. Each of the 4 images in the set coordinate with one of our punches. This flower punches out with our 5-petal punch. We also used the 1/2" circle punch for the centers of the flowers, and the eyelet border punch along the top of the white cardstock.... SAB ribbon too!

Watch for other 1-2-FREE classes to come to in the future... My way of saying THANK YOU for being my customer!
