Thank-you Fabulous Friday

This week over at Sisters in Stamping (http://Sistersinstamping.blogspot.com) we have all come up with Thank-you card ideas. Here is my card--

I used the big snowflake die for the BigShot to cut the white snowflake out. I used the 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter, it is very glittery!! The rabbit is colored in with markers and I used those cute library clips with some of the new 1/8" ribbon. The card turned out really nice!

Thank-you for stopping by,

Christmas Ornaments for Fabulous Friday

The Sisters in Stamping (http://sistersinstampin.blogspot.com/) are making Christmas Ornaments this week. There really is nothing like a handmade Christmas Ornament to sparkle up a Loved ones Christmas Tree!

I participated in a Small Gift Stamp Camp last week-end when I was back in Madison with Jen Sannes (http://simpleandsincere.blogspot.com/), this was one of her projects. Jen used the 5 flower punch and the new Antique Brads to make the poinsettia on the front. Here it is open:
--my surprise! The original idea came from one of my SU! Downline Terry Schultz. I'll be posting other projects in the next couple of weeks....so stay tuned!
Thank-you for making a stop today, have a great week-end!

Retiring Accessories!

Hey it's Friday and the Sisters (http://sistersinstamping.blogspot.com/) are focusing on some of the retiring accessories. Here's my card--


I used the Pretties Kit again this week...I guess it's because I'm so sad to see it go. Be prepared, you might see it next week too!!! Last week I pulled all of the retiring ribbon so I could focus on it at Workshops and Clubs in the next couple of weeks and I was shocked on how many colors are leaving!! BOOHOO. So I've tried to make the best of it and use it for a technique I have been wanting to try for a long time. I received a trade card from one of my awesome Downline, Stacey Campbell, and have wanted to weave some ribbon ever since. Thank-you for the great trade Stacey!
SU! supplies--
Stamp sets: Stem Sayings (retiring June 30, 2010). Accessories: Pretties Kit, Striped grosgrain ribbon, mini glue dots, Basic Black marker. Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue.

June Friday Brides

Well, hello and welcome to another Fabulous Friday! The weeks are just flying by and over at the Sisters in Stamping (http://SistersinStamping.blogspot.com) we are showcasing Bridal projects and cards. Here is my project--


It's a gift card holder, here is a picture of the inside--


You take a 1/2 sheet of card stock, cut the long way (4 1/4 x 11) and score it 3" from both ends and then fold it in 1/2...it looks like a "w." Here is a picture of it from the top--

I ran a piece of scrap white card stock though the BigShot using the Tulipe die. Embellished it using the Pretties Kit and some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.
SU! Supplies used--
Accessories: Pretties Kit, BigShot, Tulipe die, sticky strip, mini glue dots, tombow adhesive, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz, 1" circle punch, Modern window punch. Paper: Very Vanilla, Whisper White.
Both the Tulipe die and the Pretties Kit are retiring at the end of June--boo hooo! I will miss them both. Happy Stamping-- Karla c(:

Fabulous Masculine Friday

It's another Friday and the Sisters http://sistersinstamping.blogspot.com are your go-to girls for manly cards this week! Here is my card--


I have been wanting to try this technique for a looooonnnng time....it's called Bargello and it's super easy to do and not just for needle arts. I used the new Designer Series Paper from the Summer Mini called Travel Journal (pg.23, Summer Mini catalog) but you can use any paper that has stripes. A technique article in the last Stampin' Success (a monthly Magazine for Demonstrators) featured it, just one of the many perks of being a SU! Demonstrator. I cut the paper in 1/2" strips off of each side to make the wave and then matched up the stripe when I adhered it to the card stock. Looks kinda like a tie don't cha think??? This stamp set Very Thankful is the Ronald McDonald set for the 2009-10 IB&C and will be retiring at the end of the month. To see all of the sets that are leaving click on the Stampin' Up! button on the left and check under promotions.

SU! Supplies used--
Stamp sets: Very Thankful (pg. 209, IB&C 2009-10). Accessories: Pumpkin Striped ribbon, Dimensionals, wide oval punch, aqua painter, markers; Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Regal Rose, Night of Navy. Paper: Travel Journal Designer Series Paper, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy. Ink: Basic Black.

Simply Scrappin' Friday

Hey! --it's Friday and once again we are Fabulousing it up over at the Sisters in Stamping Blog (http://sistersinstamping.blogspot.com/). This week we are spotlighting the Simply Scrappin' Kits--this is the last week of National Scrapbooking Month. Here is my project--


It's called a Diagonal Double Fold Card. I used one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper that comes in the kit to make the pockets. I have a good friend, who teaches and she likes to read lots of books during her Summer vacation. I think I'll tuck a gift card for a bookstore into one of the pockets before I give it to her. Here is what it looks like inside...I used some of the elements to dress it up.
I took a picture of it with the bookmarks pulled out so you could get a good look at it--



SU! Supplies used--

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie 1/4" ribbon, silver brads, mat pack, dimensionals, mini glue dots, Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit. Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White.

See you next week....have a safe Memorial Day week-end!

Flowery Fabulous Friday

This week at the Sisters (http://sistersinstamping.blogspot.com/) we are making cards with lots of bright colorful flowers! Here is my project--


It is a pin that I made with the Real Red 1" double stitched ribbon and the Summer Sun corduroy buttons. Beth France taught us how to make these in Janesville at the last Quarterly Meeting. I made a card to put it on here is a picture of the pin off of the card and the back of the pin--


It was super easy! I stitched long running stitch along the edge of 14" of ribbon and then gathered it up to make a circle. Put the brad in the center and filled the hole with a medium sized blob of hot glue. I cut the felt circle with the BigShot and attached the pin back with hot glue. That's it! I'll be putting it in a clear envelope (so you can see how pretty it is) and giving it to a good friend of mine.

SU! Supplies used--

Stamp Sets: Petal Pizzazz (pg.113, IB&C 2009-10), Teeny Tiny Wishes (pg.145, IB&C 2009-10). Accessories: BigShot, Circles #2 die, Modern Label punch, Crop-a-dile, Summer Sun corduroy buttons, Real Red 1" double stitched ribbon. Paper: Summer Sun, Old Olive, Whisper White. Ink: Summer Sun, Real Red, Old Olive.

See you next week....make sure you hop on over to the Sisters blog (http://SistersinStamping.blogspot.com) to see what the other girls are up to!

I purchased an extra Final Press BigShot folder and took my craft and rubber scissors to it. Here is a picture of it--

Fabulous Elements of Style

You might not recognise this stamp set or it's name.....unless you have received your copy of the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog! If you need a copy send me an e-mail and I'll be sure to get one in the mail for you. This set is so versatile (I know I say that a lot!)---but it's true. It's very eclectic and it makes the most beautiful cards. Shelli gave us this set at Leadership in January and something happened that I've never seen before. I have been to quite a few Stampin' Up! Events, just had my 9 year Anniversary with SU! Shelli said it best on her blog, "The demonstrators went bananas over that (set), rocking back and forth and waving the sets in the air. I felt like I was at a rock concert—it was a great sight from the stage." I was there and it was amazing!
I think we all knew when we saw it that it was one of those special stamp sets. It appeals to everybody--and it's quite lovely. Well, all that and I haven't shown you my card yet! Here it is--

It was my trade at the Milwaukee Regional April 10.
SU! Supplies used--
Stamp sets: Elements of Style (pg. 12, Summer Mini Catalog). Accessories: vintage brads, designer label punch, dimensionals, stamping sponges. Paper: Very Vanilla, Pale Plum, Basic Black. Ink: Basic Black.
