Hello Stamping friends!<br />
This cute Scarecrow was cased from Rae Harper-Burnet. I turned him into a wreath and switched out the paper. It was made using the Top Note Die (which if you don't have, you need!) And I just love the textures of the different papers, dry embossing, fabric, etc. I used rafia for the hair. My friend Pam came over to stamp and brought this idea with her, and we had a great time making them up! I also made boxes out of them and filled them with pumpkin candy in a cello.<br />

The wreath part is made with the Stampin' Up Rosette die, and I cut 4 of them and attached them together.<br />

Hello Stampers!<br />
It's a dreary day here and I can't wait to go downstairs to my craft area and work on Christmas cards! But first, I wanted to share with you 3 of the 4 cards we made at my Make & Take class last weekend! <br />
This one above with the leaf, uses the new Co'ordinations paper. Do you see that when we dry embossed with the wood grain folder, that a lighter color emerged? There is a coating of something on the cardstock that creates this look. You can sand it also, but we didn't need to here. The leaf is colored using daubers and swiping the color across.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This angel card really pops when you run it thru a dry emboss folder after heat embossing it!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTY5MPdEaVA/UH76-tl1dwI/AAAAAAAAAw0/bgXGWD4aJig/s1600/107_0092.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" nea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTY5MPdEaVA/UH76-tl1dwI/AAAAAAAAAw0/bgXGWD4aJig/s400/107_0092.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This fall cards uses the "Joseph's Coat" technique on watercolor paper. Using your aqua painter, randomly paint your colors on the watercolor paper (see below). Then you clear emboss the leaves on top of it. (it is kinda hard to see what you are doing with the clear emboss). Then you roll dark ink with a brayer over the whole piece. The fun part is wiping the ink off of the leaves and the color pops through!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QspkaXiPtoA/UH77JFDjUYI/AAAAAAAAAw8/5j60kn5HegY/s1600/107_0093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QspkaXiPtoA/UH77JFDjUYI/AAAAAAAAAw8/5j60kn5HegY/s320/107_0093.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
This is a fun technique to use with glossy paper, also.<br />
<br />
I'm going to go stamp, now!

Hi Stampers! Here are some pics from our "UpSideDown" meeting (uplines, sidelines and downlines) where we had a great time meeting a couple of new girls, doing demos, sharing ideas, having a swap and making a wreath. Pam and DeAnn are adding some finishing touches to their Snowflake wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_V-xab_oPfI/UGnKv2639CI/AAAAAAAAAwE/ztos3KTH3V4/s1600/107_0074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_V-xab_oPfI/UGnKv2639CI/AAAAAAAAAwE/ztos3KTH3V4/s320/107_0074.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Julie, Sherrie, Kelly and Crishelle are adding more snowflakes that were cut with the Big Shot. The base of the wreath is a green foam piece from the $ store that I cut in 1/2 lengthwise then we wrapped it in white tulle (also from $ store) to cover the green. Then we added different sizes of snowflakes in white, silver. glitter paper, bashful blue and a nother blue (yikes! Can't remember the name!) First layer was attached with pins, and then dimensionals after that. AND of course, pearls and rhinestones to add some bling!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S62mH3TIHQ4/UGnK3Mt_3-I/AAAAAAAAAwM/dzBoNsE8Pp4/s1600/107_0075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S62mH3TIHQ4/UGnK3Mt_3-I/AAAAAAAAAwM/dzBoNsE8Pp4/s320/107_0075.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
This is a WONDERFUL Fall wreath that Crishelle brought to share with us. It is made out of rosettes and is on a circular piece of cardboard. I think it is just stunning!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and I will be back soon with some more ideas!<br />

Hi Stampers!<br />
These ADORABLE little Halloween treat bags were cased from our SU magazine...when I saw them, I KNEW I had to try to make them! And guess what? Not hard at all! The pumpkin was fun through the stripe dry emboss folder after I cut it out with the purse die. For Frankie's hair, I placed a piece of blk. cs over that part of the die and adhered over the purse, then cut out through both layers with zig-zags to create the hair. Bat's wings are punched circles that I cut in half and used the small circle punch to create the scallops. <br />
I think these would be great to sell at a craft fair or give to special trick-or-treaters with candy inside!<br />

Hello Stampers! I promised I'd show the cards we are making this weekend--so here they are! The "Merry" card is made using the triple layer technique. It's the first one I've made using it, and I have to say I am in LOVE with the technique! Ooohhh, the possibilities! To make it, you place all 3 of the neutral cs centered on top of each other and then stamp. The darker cs is then placed behind them and is really gives a dimensional look! <br />
The Birthday card uses the new Doily die and Chevron embossing folder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HvhK6uayp9E/UEeehRA6sXI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/Tbt62enMF40/s1600/107_0071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HvhK6uayp9E/UEeehRA6sXI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/Tbt62enMF40/s320/107_0071.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Of course, we are doing a Halloween card-complete with googly eyes! Then my all time fave is one that I cased from a swap I got at Convention and changed it a bit. The butterfly is 3 layers deep and looks very NEAT in person!<br />
<br />

Hello stampers!<br />
See this adorable gift bag? We made this and the card to the very left at the last make & take I had. I got the idea for the 3-d cake from something I saw at CVS and thought I'd try it! The cake layers are strips of designer paper adhered to white cs in 3 sizes with the ends folded back and attached with a dimensional - while bended to curve outwards. It looks alot harder than it was! Then I designed the birthday flower/banner card to match.<br />
The fabric needlework hoop was made by Paula for a roomie gift at convention. Cute!<br />

This is a display I had for a class sign-up to make these fun flowers! The pink and turq. on the bottom left, were made by punching scallops, bonerizing them and pulling the cs apart, crumpling and stacking. I LOVE the new silicone mat and sticky circles for flower making! Going to get a better close of of the other flowers for next post---come back and see!Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12713100338730322680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280703328950819804.post-42373009356965449982012-08-29T13:20:00.000-05:002012-08-29T13:20:41.873-05:00More Open House pics....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I tried to case the ornament on the front of the Holiday catty and then made some more of my own using the ornament framelits and stamp set. I love how it turned out, but will never make another one! (a bit time consuming!)<br />

Sherrie made this fun Halloween bag for my open house using the new "Natural Composition Specialty" paper from the SU catty. My first time to use it and I really love it! And we noticed how "banners" for embellishments are really in now..<br />
<br />

Hi! Glad you came to my blog! I know it's been forever since I've posted--but am back on it now! <br />
The tree card at the top was made by Dana for a WOW swap we had at convention. Isn't it beautiful? I made the framed design from a similar one in the Stampin' Up catty. LOVE that they have so many great ideas in there!<br />
<br />
This Halloween house is actually a box that I got at Stone Hill Winery to carry the 2 bottles of wine I bought. As soon as I saw it, I KNEW it had to become a Haunted House! It was like being in school again, with a project to creat--so much fun! More pics to follow soon--making sure I can remember how to post after so long!<br />

Here are some more pics from my Open House...Aren't those flowered ribbons cool? They remind me of the 70's! (I guess that dates me, huh?) Very easy to make using the Big Blossoms die and adhered to ribbon using mini glue dots.<br />
Below that pic are the Stocking boxes I made using the NEW stocking die, glitter paper and the box #2 die. I think these will be perfect for gifts at Xmas! And they are SOOOO sparkly!<br />

This is something that we learned at convention--a little table for cupcakes! You need to use Designer Paper 8x2 and score at every 2 inches. Mountain fold and using the large oval punch, punch a 1/2 of the oval out of the paper. You may need to do it in 2 steps--sometimes I can get thru all of the layers and sometimes not!<br />
The top of the table is the large Scallop punch with scallops folded down. Wouldn't these be so cute for a shower or b'day party?Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12713100338730322680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280703328950819804.post-16530237735140035092011-08-25T12:02:00.000-05:002011-08-25T12:02:48.888-05:00Open House pics of Displays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zj24b3f5G3Q/TlZ7KDf0G1I/AAAAAAAAAtU/qwSG13f4Ra4/s1600/DSCN1196_001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" qaa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zj24b3f5G3Q/TlZ7KDf0G1I/AAAAAAAAAtU/qwSG13f4Ra4/s640/DSCN1196_001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Hello! I want to thank all of you that attended my Open House on Sunday and made it such a success! Here are some pictures of some of the displays...the top one is a vase with Accordian Flowers that I made. These are SO fun to make with the NEW scoring tool that Stampin' Up is selling! I used 12x12 Designer paper and scored every 1/2 inch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xalh4bVTe5w/TlZ7RDmRGAI/AAAAAAAAAtY/TlpR95eNjW8/s1600/DSCN1197_002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" qaa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xalh4bVTe5w/TlZ7RDmRGAI/AAAAAAAAAtY/TlpR95eNjW8/s640/DSCN1197_002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is what everyone got for attending. It's a Card Emergency kit and came with 3 cards and envies. Or they could choose the cello bag with nuggets. I used the new stamp set that is PERFECT for covering nuggets and the 2 scallop punches for the flower.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NOOGp01JRWA/TlZ8YJGXjKI/AAAAAAAAAtc/2XqDjfOacIA/s1600/DSCN1201_005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" qaa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NOOGp01JRWA/TlZ8YJGXjKI/AAAAAAAAAtc/2XqDjfOacIA/s640/DSCN1201_005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I'd say this is my FAVORITE of the new sets in the catalog! Button Buddies is the name of it and the stamps lend themselves to adding one of SU's buttons that match perfectly (of course!) Just so cute!!!<br />
<br />

Have you wondered where I've been since I haven't posted for a long time? Nowhere! I just got lazy and the Header bothers me that there is so much space before you hit the blog part...and I don't know how to fix it and kept thinking I would!<br />

Know what? When I first saw this set in the new mini, I thought "I don't need another flower set"....then I did a swap with Shelly and got these 2 cards and changed my mind!! AND they stamp SO WELL! By that, I mean they REALLY pick up the ink and give a GREAT clean image! Plus, there is a matching Designer paper called "Beyond the Garden". This set is going to be in the new Idea Book Catalogue, also, so it will have a long life! The possibilites are endless :-)<br />
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12713100338730322680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280703328950819804.post-62569546014278649992011-05-13T12:52:00.000-05:002011-05-13T12:52:10.836-05:00Man cards<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G1eafsTxxII/Tc1u0o1RENI/AAAAAAAAAs4/Qi2opxQ9mfc/s1600/1023.jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G1eafsTxxII/Tc1u0o1RENI/AAAAAAAAAs4/Qi2opxQ9mfc/s640/1023.jpg.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Hello stampers!<br />
I wasn't too sure when I ordered this set ("Open Sea"-Stampin' Up) but after playing with it and getting several in a swap I did with Shelly, I really like it! It's so hard to do man cards, I think!<br />
Anyway, the one on the left is one I did while playing..and the other is one I got from the swap. There is coordinating designer paper (which I need to buy!) And notice the new Baker's twine from the mini, also!<br />
<br />

If you are like me, you never have enough man cards--is it because it's more fun to make femmy cards with flowers, etc? Maybe! Now is a great time to make some "man cards" since Father's Day is coming up and we always need guy b'day cards!<br />
This set is called "The Open Sea" and I really had fun playing with it!<br />
The card on top is one that I made for a swap, and the ones below are another "playing one" and one I received in a swap. This set is in the new Summer Mini from Stampin' Up and I think you need it like I did!<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms!Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12713100338730322680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280703328950819804.post-26679228651429435732011-05-03T14:48:00.000-05:002011-05-03T14:48:00.908-05:00Problems with HeaderWell, I obviously am not great at getting this blog to do what I want!
