Fabulous Easter Projects

At the Sisters in Stamping (Debbie Naylor, Jacque Craig, Rachel Yurkanin and myself) blog this week we are giving up some really cute Easter projects. I made a small basket, here is a picture of my project--

I made it from the BigShot 2 Tags die. It was one of the 3 projects we did last Wednesday at the Mother Daughter Madness Class, the girls loved it. It would be super cute as Easter table decorations don't you think?  The idea for the box came from Lisa Curcio, and the bird punch/chick idea came from Liz Keehn --thanks ladies!

Well, it's time to say good-bye and Thank-you. Next week is my pick and the Sisters have some fun things to show you so, make sure you come back to check it out.

Happy Stamping,

Designer Series Paper Love

Good Day! Welcome back to another Fabulous Friday-- this week we are highlighting Designer Series Paper, or as we all call it DSP. I used the DSP that is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, it's called Everyday Enchantment. Here is a picture of my scrapbook page--

It turned out very bright and cheery. I really like this DSP because it's not all "girly" there are some nice gender neutral patterns and some flowers too. All the sheets are 2-sided, so you are getting a lot of bang for your buck when you purchase DSP from Stampin' Up!

 I didn't want it too girly because I have some really cute pictures of Ted when he was little in the garden smelling flowers that I'd like to put on this page. Yes, I know-- a scrapbook page is unusual for me! I'm trying to kill 2 birds with one stone...I'll be teaching a new class next week called Mother Daughter Madness and this will be one of the projects everyone will be making. If you live in the area and you'd like to attend send me an e-mail and I'll get you the details on the class.

Thank-you for coming by today!

Punches for Fabulous Friday

It's my week for the Sisters in Stamping blog post and I picked Stampin' Up! fabulous punches to showcase this week. There are so many sizes and shapes that quite a few Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have created a whole paper crafting phenomena called Punch Art. Here is my card for this week--

The background was made using the Baby Wipe Technique. I used 4 punches to create my cute little penguin, here is the key that I made:

Well, that's it for this week. Remember Sale-A-Bration ends March 31. Punches are a great thing to add to your craft supplies and this is a perfect time to do that, you'll get a FREE item when you spend $50.

Thank-you for stopping by today!

Happy March, Karla c(:

Blingified Friday

A Good Day to you and welcome to my blog once again for this week's Fabulous Friday post! The Sisters (http://Sistersinstamping.blogspot.com) are all making cards and projects with the awesome Sale-A-Bration stamp sets this week. Here is my card--

BigShot Friday

It's Jacque Craig's turn to pick for this week's Sister in Stamping blog post. She picked cards and projects made with the BigShot from the Occasions Mini. Well, I'm sure it's no surprize to you that I used the NEW Heart Framelits! Here is my project for this week--

I ran the 12x6 piece of real red through the BigShot using the Fancy Favor die and then back through again with a Heart Framelit to make the window. There is a piece of window sheet attached on the inside so that the kisses stay in the box. Punched holes through the box and tied a tag made with the Sale-A-Bration set called Outlined Occasions (FREE with purchase of $50 of merchandise). This box was a door prize at my last Stampin' Up! workshop and was perfect for Valentines Day-- But, it would be a great Wedding Favor don't you think?

Thank-you for coming by today!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Cherry Scented Fabulous

Well Happy Fabulous Friday to you! At the Sisters in Stamping blog Rachel picked the new Sweet Suite to focus on this week, here is my card--

I used the new Cherry Scented Embossing powder (Occasions Mini Catalog, pg. 35) on the heart. I inked the heart up in Versamark ink and dredged it in the scented embossing powder, heated it with my heat gun--be careful not to over heat it, it's very delicate! After it cooled I took a sponge filled with Cherry Cobbler ink and rubbed it into the image, everything that was embossed stayed a nice pink color. Love it! My whole basement smelled of cherries for days, yum.

See you next week! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

I {heart} Valentine's Day!

Hello! We are posting Valentine's Day Cards this week at the Sisters in Stamping blog. Here is my card for this week--

When we were at Leadership in January SU! taught us a very cool technique to help cut images with the NEW Framelits. Stamp the image you want to cut out, put it down on the cutting pad face up. Place the Framelit over the image (cutting edge down), put a post-it note down over the image to hold the Framelit in place while it goes through the BigShot. There you have it- a nice even border around your stamped image --sweet!

Thank-you for coming by this week, see you next Friday for more goodies!

Happy Stamping! Karla c(:
