Stamping Sunday 1-11-09

I made this card for a swap and decided not to use it. I was actually kind of sad to see that Moose you was being retired. So since I can’t use it in a swap now I decided I would share it with you.

I was going to tell you where my inspiration for the card came from, but I just spend a 1/2 and hour looking through my old catalogs and couldn’t find it. Anyway I thought it turned out cute and I just wanted to share it with you before the set was gone. If you want to place an order for this set it is Moose You #109345 fro $17.95.

Swapping Saturday 1-10-09

Cute as a Bug is the title and I would have to agree. this page is definitely cute.

I recieved this swap at Convention last year. I absoultly love it and love the colors. I really wish she would have put her name on it so I could give her credit. This page is extra fun because of what she did with each of the bugs on the side.

The Pacific Point Dragonfly has Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it’s wings.

The Tangerine Tango Caterpillar has blag Chunky Glitter for it’s stripes.

The Kiwi Kiss Grasshopper has Crystal Effects on it’s big eye.

The Ridding Hood Red Worm has red microbead on it’s stripes.

These fun effects really add to the page. I encourage you to think outside the box and try some of these fun effects.

Update- This page was created by Kelly Hymas.

Freewheeling Friday 1-9-09

This is another page swap that I made. It think it was for convention last year.

I used the Jumbo Roller Spot On #107559 $8.50 for the side piece then finished the rest of it with our fun dinosaur set Prehistoric Pals #111106 for $18.95.

I wanted to use the new in-colors, but at the time I couldn’t buy enough to use for all the back ground. So I used the Always Artichoke with the Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango.

The play is stamped with Whisper White ink with our Big Deal Alphabet set. #107345 for $40.95.

I used the Twill Tape #105245 $5.95 to hang the dino tag on with linen thread #104199 $4.50.

I have 4 boys and one loves dinosaurs so I thought this would make a really fun scrapbook page.

Thrifty Thursday 1-8-09

This is the Birthday card that I made for our Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration. I decided to use it for Thrifty Thursday because it is so easy to make and the style allows you to use all the paper in the DSP pack.

I have used the Rainbow Sherbet #112471. Not only does this paper sound yummy, but it is just so cute. This card is very versital and can be used for either a boy or a girl.

The basic card is made with Apricot Appeal. Then I used Gable Green behind the DSP. I used Tempting Turquoise for the scallop and the 1/4″ ribbon then top off the ribbon with Apricot Appeal 1 /4″ grosgrain ribbon.

My Scallop is actually a special embosslit die that said 20 years. It is to celebrate Stampin’ Up! 20 years in business this year. However you could use the scallop circle punch. I covered it with a tag from the deer friends hostess set and punched it out with our 1 3/8 circle punch to create a beautiful layered look. I didn’t want the tag to be stamped in just one color so I use our Stampin’ Markers to color directly onto the Stamp.

I finished the card by stamping happy birthday for the Bitty Birthday set #110994 for $12.95. Because the tag just says a little something you could leave off the Birthday stamp or stamp it with a variety of other stamps for almost any occasion.

So between the versatile saying and being able to use all the designer series paper on just one card lay out I think this card is very thrifty

Wacky Wednesday 1-7-09

Well I’m in Florida today enjoying the warm weather, so I thought I would share with you a nice summer project. This project is really so easy. I just bought a frame (I think I got this one at wall-mart.) Then I added our great rub-ons. I love how perfectly the words went with the pictures. I used the Perfect Day rub-ons #111277 for $10.95. To create my frame.

This was a fun day we had with my Brother and his family at Bearlake 2 summers ago. It really was just a perfect day.
