Throw Back Thursday

This stamp is from a older retired set of 8, "Nice & Easy Notes", I used stazon ink, StampinUp blender pen, and retired inks, Bashful Blue, Concord Crush, & Lucky Limeaid... I also used a curerent ink color Crumb Cake, all on a 3x3 inch card.. This would be cute with a matching gift bag..

What's New Wednesday

Although this is not a new product from StampinUp, it is new to my craft room... I so love this product, it organizes my current stamp pads, and a few odds and ends on top.. It's top is designed to hold ink refills, but I have a box for those on my shelf.. ( holds 48 StampinUp ink pads, and 48 ink refills) It sell for $59.95 US, plus shipping and tax.. It called the Color Caddy, so worth the money if you have as many ink pads as I do, and love organization..

Tuesday Tips & Tricks Day

If your like me and own a fabulous Stampin Trimmer from StampinUp, here is a great tip just for you.. When I am cutting out many pieces for a project that use the same dimensions, I use a simple white board marker on the outside edge to keep track of what size I am cutting the papers.. You can also use more than one color and when your done, just wipe it off.. Its as easy as that!! I have had many paper cutters, of different brands, this one is my ultimate favorite..

A Tribute to Valentine's Day

I know its just past Valentines Day, but still wanted to share what I created in my craft room ..

Both of the top two cards comes from a stamp set called Hey, Valentine.. It comes in either

wood or clear.. I so love this set, cute and very versatile..

I originally bought this so my granddaughter could make her own valentines when she is old enough.. But I just had to use it now.. 

This project I CASED and put my on spin on it from a fellow StampinUp demonstrator, Sam Donald so loved this easy idea.. Here is her tutorial on youtube Valentine's Envelope Punch Board Box Tutorial. Hope you enjoy!!

Butterfly Basics

Card recipe: 

Paper: Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White.

Inks: Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black,Wisteria Wonder, Baked Brown Sugar.

Stamp set: Butterfly Basics

also used the Butterflies Thinlits Dies

Another new stamp set that is also one of my new faves is the Butterfly Basics, this set comes in wood mount, clear, and the new photopolymer... It also has a butterflies thinlits dies that match the set, StampinUp offers a discount when you bundle the stamp set with the thinlits.. Its a great bargain, also the price is different depending on which type of stamp set you choose, for example photopolymer is the best deal it sells for $41.50, wood is the most at 

$61. 95, and clear is $51.75.. I prefer the photopolymer, not only is it a good deal, but you can see right though the stamps, this makes it way easier for placement and mistakes.. Also StampinUp is having their Sale-A-Bration's sale, for every $50 in orders you place before shipping and tax, you get to pick a free item form the Sale-A-Bration catty.. Runs until March 31, 2015, don't miss out!!
