I am not going to share a bunch of "in's and out's" today but please email me if you need help wth this card! I think that is is a fun Halloween Card without being too scary! I made 30+ of these and I will tell you that if you take it in steps…it is very doable!

Please enjoy the pictures and I hope that I have inspired you and brought a smile to your face!

IMG_3391

IMG_3392

The star of the show is the Fall Fest Bundle, and I highly reccomend that you purchase the bundle…as these offering are great to "tuck" in when you need a space filled!

137628G

Layers…layers and layers! I adore layers! To me that is what makes a card special! This is a square card so even without the layers you would need additional postage…but adding what I did is the same price!

IMG_3400

IMG_3401

Elements of this card will be listed at the end of the post but as I said before, please email me if I can help you re-create this fun card!

IMG_3402

I know that many find using vellum is a challenge….but just plan in advance before you start a card to make sure that you can "hide" the adhesive, here I used glue dots behind the eyes!

IMG_3398

If you follow my daily blog, you know that I adore envelopes and I never have a card go out without a fun, lined envelope! To me it is the 1st thing you see and the thing you will remember!

O.k……You have a lot more hopping to do – there is a bunch of fun projects out there! Be a BIG SPONGE and soak it all up! There is so much talent out there within the PALS…this is just a small tast of the talent out there!

The next stop is stop #21 Amy Whelan at Amys Inklingson the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month.

Enjoy…thanks for popping in….Happy Fall! Until tomorrow!

Hopping…oops Mingling All The Way…

IMG_2772

2014sephop_badge

Welcome to the September Pals Blog Hop. This month we are showing off our favorite new products from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. We hope you enjoy our projects!

IMG_2766

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from stop # 5, Becky Gifford at The Social Stamper on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

This was a tough one for me…as what is there NOT TO LIKE about this super fun catalog! I thought of the advice that my Mom would say to me….

  1. If you like something…do it or wear it againadvice well taken as I used this color combo on Monday's post…
  2. Go with your gut instinct – I can remember that when I first went through this catalog, I loved page 17 and that adorable box with this sentiment…so – why not!

IMG_2770

The sentiment, so whimsical and fun is from the Mingle All the Way Stamp Set (how appropriately named). Look below at all of the super fun sentiments in this stamp set….truly something for every up-coming holiday!

135773G
In my opinion there are a couple of things that make this card special – here is a quick run down with pictures for you! Please remember that the products that I used for today's card are listed at the very end! Enjoy!

  • It's a square card…it's totally hip to be square – a 5" square!
  • LOVE the color combo, Soft Sky, Whisper White and Lost Lagoon, the complentary DSP is All is Calm….simply fun and beautiful!
  • LOVE to heat emboss…I used the clear embossing powder – love the effect it gives!

IMG_2768

  • The fru-fru of embellishments – the new frosted sequins and pearls! easy – classic!
  • Stampin' Dimensionsal….I DOUBLED them up with the sentiment  and then single on the card base…try this – it gives a super effect!

IMG_2771

  • The Large Polka Dot Folder….what can I say but is makes me smile!
  • The envelope punch board…so fast, fun and easy to make your own envelopes! I jazzed up the back flap today…now wouldn't you love to receive this card!

IMG_2777

Keep it simple…follow your heart with the style that works for you

and you will always have a great end result and feel totally fulfilled!

Thanks for popping by today and now you need to get going….there are LOTS of inspirations ahead for you….(and me…I go and see each and everyone of my PALS posts)

6a00e54f95df92883401a73dd18741970d-800wi

Welcome to the June Pals Blog Hop. This month we are excited to show off new Stampin' Up! products from the just released 2014-15 annual catalog and idea book. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. Get your wish list ready!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from  the 1st stop  – Natalie Bradley at Natalie Bradley Events on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

Wow…where do I begin as there as so many great new products with this catalog and I am still looking through it finding more and more and my head has been spinning with ideas! To me – this new catalog lends itself to clean, simple, fresh and FUN projects!

IMG_0836

I am just going to dive in and list the products that I have used for this card….(and I know it seems like a bunch…but when you look at it – they are "key" products that are staples in card making!) The other "KEY" factor that I adore about this catalog is the fact that there are several "single" stamps just like this camera and will not break the bank and you can have a bunch of fun with them!

IMG_0827

I haven't used this color for a while, blushing bride, but I think it is super with the Sahara Sand! I am just rolling with the products (with a couple comments) – please know that you can click the thumbnails below and it will go right into your shopping cart! Easy…right!

IMG_0839

  • Snap Shot Stamp – WOWZERS – just $9.95
  • Hip Notes Stamp Set  -  A keeper of a stamp set!
  • Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder (WOWZERS – a must have)
  • Memento Ink (my new favorite black ink…so easy to clean, especially on the clear stamps)
  • Squares Framelits ( I used the #5 & #6 for the frame)
  • Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (Another MUST have…love it!)
  • Big Shot (No-brainer…a must have for all projects)
  • Stampin' Dimensionals ( we all need a dose of stampin' vitamins)
  • White Gel Pen (another – would not be without….do NOT stand it upright)
  • Stamp-a-ma-jig (Perfect placement everytime – I have a love affair with this tool)

IMG_0840

This card just makes me smile – I think that the embossing folder is the 1st factor that makes me happy! Trust me – you will be seeing alot of this gem! I also lined the back flap with the textured solid paper! You see…there are times that plain and simple works!

IMG_0834

Here is another thing I adore to do…gently push the centers of the flowers with the stylus tool and then add a simple punch from the Owl Punch for the centers! I always look at them and think they are getting "sunshine" with how the petals curl!

IMG_0835

Do you remember when I said that I was thrilled that Stampin' Up! has come out with so many affordable single stamps that carry a big punch…look at page 167 and the Water Color Thank you….LOVE IT – I just made over 50+ of them that I blogged about last week….just adore these single stamps!

IMG_0841

O.k….you have had enough with me today….you have got to go HOPPING as there is a TON of inspiration out there! I blog daily and if you want a dose of fun inspiration – please subscribe to my blog! I feel sooooo blessed to be a part of Mary Fish's Team and the PALS do have a ton of fun and they are an endless source of inspiration to me!

The next stop is #3 Jackie Diediker at Stampin' Jackie on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and  I hope to see you next month.

This catalog is fun…and I know that you are going to be sooo darn inspired with all of this talent!

It’s time to HOP…and say goodbye!

2014mayhop_badge

Welcome to the May Pals Blog Hop!

This is the first hop on our new day – the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Before we celebrate the release of the new Stampin' Up! catalog next month, we want to take time to say "goodbye to our favorite retiring products."

This month we are showcasing projects that feature stamps or accessories that are retiring along with the 2013-14 Idea Book & Catalog on June 4th.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Stop # 6, Sue Becker at RnR Stamping on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog.

IMG_5951

I will say that it is always bittersweet to see certain stamps and products go bye-bye…but I can honestly say that I am so thrilled with the new catalog – I am ready and excited!

This card showcases a stamp set that I will miss. I did this card on a "notecard" size before but I wanted to include a sentiment that was also special to me that is on the "bye-bye" list!

IMG_5944

The Stamp Set is Bright Blossoms and the Sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials set. I often get asked…what do you do with your discontinued stamps? In a nutshell…if they "touch my heart" and also if I know that I could use it for my Breast Cancer Cards…I'll keep it!

IMG_5953

These 2 stamps sets "I'll keep" – they represent a simple look that I love! Click here to see the post that I did with just a single vase. Today I thought it would be fun to do an odd size card and the 3 1/3 X 7 was the base!

In keeping with today's theme, I used the "bye-bye" Gumball Green and then vases are Midnight Muse. The punch pack is going to be really, really sad to leave but I know you are going to like the new one. (Pop back tomorrow as I am using the new flower on my card)

IMG_5946

The stamp-a-ma-jig was my must have friend for today's card…I always draw a faint pencil line to use as a guide – but the stamp-a-ma-jig is the real life saver!

Please refer back to the orginal post to see some of the tips…but this pictue below is something I do often for the instant pop for the flower – glue dots are your friends!

IMG_4494

You know that I try to make my "cards for a purpose" and this adorable card is going to my friend that was in charge of the fundraiser for our local hospital! She did an amazing job as it was a huge success!

IMG_5952

Using the punch board to make a fun and unique envelope and I lined the outside with the in-color designer series paper…Did you notice what I did to the back flap? I cut it off as I do not care for the long point when you make a long and skinny card – I think it looks great like this!

This is a HUGE BLOG HOP today and I hope that you enjoy all of the great talent out there. I thank you for stopping by and I hope I made you smile, inspired you and taught you a great tip!

The next stop is # 8 Michelle Quinno at Shell's Life on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and  I hope to see you next month.

 Have a fabulous day and have fun hopping….until tomorrow!

“Easter Treats” for my buddy!!!

2014aprhop_badge

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for April. To celebrate Earth Day,  this month we are showcasing projects that feature recycled, re-purposed, or earthy/recycling themed elements.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from hop #15 – Goldie Shaul at Punch and Stamp with Goldie on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

 

IMG_5286

Hippity – hoppity…..Easter is on it's way!!! 

This is a "simple susan"…"simple stampin' " fun post!!!

I adore our monthly Blog Hops! Today I am mixing up several things….and I know…I know….many of you are just like me…we are scared to death with My Digital Studio…and remember that I have been talking about this "Turtle Thing"…..you know….sticking your neck out and trying something new and different!

Today's post I am "re-using" a good old fashion "Mason Jar" to send some fun cookie mix to my wonderful godson for Easter! He is the best…and I am so proud of him!

Leighton is a freshman at Rhodes College and is doing fabulous! He plays Lacrosse so he will not be able to come home for Easter so I know a bit of "mail man love" will make him smile!

IMG_5288

When you are away from home – a care package is always the best…and I know he is going to smile! He calls me "Aunt Goober"….he named me that for some reason and it has stuck!!!

Leighton has a kitchen area in his dorm so I thought he would love to make some yummy cookies to remind him of home! (I'll make sure I tuck some $$$ for him to get some butter and eggs!!!!)

I love jars…on my kitchen island I have a ton of jars – all sizes and shapes filled with candies, nuts, pretzels…I know when he see this cute jar he will think of my kitchen!

If you would like this recipe…please email me and put in the subject line Recipe!

Let's go to this oober cute card! This card makes me smile as this bunny is soooo darn cute and can you say S I M P L E!!! This is about as easy as it gets! I made this hybrid card with the note cards and envelopes and then some super fun digital downloads!

IMG_5291

  • The cute bunny came from the Celebrate Easter Ensemble and there is a TON with this download! This is a pricy download as downloads go($12.95)…but I am going to use this for my "other" job for some Easter festivites! It is amazing how many things are in this download!

  • The font is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set…but I used it here from MDS…WOOT-WOOT…I was able to make it the size I wanted! Isn't this bunny adorable! The other GREAT thing about MDS is you can change the color of your rabbit….your sentiment….just have fun!

TIP: THere are so many stamps…sentiments….punches etc already on the MDS Disk…that you would not have to purchase any downloads if you did not wish…the thing that I love is that when we have stamp sets that are discontinued…you can still use them and most of the stamp sets are available as downloads…another reason to do a WOOT-WOOT…

There is a wonderful support line for MDS…and trust me – I call them just about everytime I play with MDS…iy is a learning curve….go check out the website – My Digital Studio!

IMG_5293

  • You can see that I matted my focal part on a piece of Melon Mambo Card Stock at 4 3/4" X 3 1/4"…and then POPPED it up with Stampin Dimensionals…my daily vitamins!
  • Now this is what I am super excited about….do you see that oober fun liner? Well that is from the same Easter Ensemble…there are many Designer Series Papers and I thought – what the heck….press the print button and out came a cute piece of paper! (remember, I have a very small and old printer and I am amazed with the quality)

IMG_5292

  • Doing what I do daily…out came the Big Shot and the envelope liner framelit...and PRESTO – cute right? I am also going to line some 3 x 3 envelopes with this print….too darn fun!
  • I also used the Circle Framelits and using the #6 circle…I cut a DSP circle for fru-fru the top and added a simple Melon Mambo 1/8" ribbon….simple…DONE!

IMG_5287

This was fun…this was different for me…but this is a practical and yummy gift…so go to your closet and find those jars…and put them to use! You might get lucky and get a cookie from it!

I love this time of the year! When I was growing up my Mom always had an Easter Egg Tree and dying Eggs were always a highlight of the year! I have some fun 3-d's for you this week that are sooooo easy and I hope that you make them for your family and friends!

Tomorrow's post is going to make you smile…it is so easy….so cute – you will be running to the store to get the candy before you read to the end of the post!

IMG_5294

Thanks for popping by and you need to keep hopping!!!! There are sooooo many great ideas! Enjoy the day…enjoy the hop and please consider trying My Digital Studio!

You all know that I am totally computer challenged – I am trying little by little with this great program! I am an email away and what do you have to loose….nothing as it is FREE for the first 30 days and then it is under $20.00!!! WOW!

The next stop is hop #17 Christie Crosby at Stampin' Creativity on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and  I hope to see you next month.

Until tomorrow!

Let’s go hopping…Spring has Sprung!

IMG_4730

2014marhop_badge

Let's go to the HOP…Let's go to the HOP!!!

Spring had SPRUNG with the PALS!

Welcome to the Pals March Blog Hop. This month we are excited to kick-off Spring with our creative projects. We hope enjoy these creations and we hope Spring finds you soon!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from our HOP LEADER Jackie Diediker at Stampin' Jackie on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

A BIG Pals thank you to the super talented Nicole Watt….she is truly a MDS gu-ru and she is always the best in creating our hop badges…woot-woot to you and thanks!

If you follow my blog you know that I have not beed a fan of the Winter we have had. Yesterday was a beautiful day and fingers crossed the POWER OF THE PALS hopping today will bring lots of sunshine to each and everyone of us!

Have fun hippity-hopping as there are 31 hops to hop!!! (say that 3 times!!!!)

IMG_4731

What to make…I was thinking about all sorts of things but the one thing that I knew for sure was …I wanted it to be clean and simple that at one look – you would smile and say "I can do that"…and guess what – YOU can do it!

Yellow makes me smile…Yellow makes me happy…Yellow is fresh, fun and WOW!!!

Today's card is a perfect example of "less is best". I think that this will be a card for my Breast Cancer Project next month as it will surely make someone smile!

Ready….set….let's go!

IMG_4725

  • Note-card Size and Envelopes are the choice card size today (like most days) as I think how can you go wrong with 20 cards and envelopes for just $5.95!
  • The Whisper White is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" and the Gumball Green is 4 7/8" X 3 3/8"
  • To the Gumball Green Piece cut out the Little Leaves Sizzlits (you can actually get 2 from it)…this little gem is just $5.50 and I would wager to say – that many of you overlook the sizzlits – they can really add a fun and easy accent!

  • The Daffodil Delight Flower came from the Blossom Party Originals Die…again, probably something that you overlook! The offerings of these flowers are so fresh…..

Springtime Hello

  • I did adhere one flower flat and then with the second one…I rolled the petals with a pencil and then used a glue dot to place it! I like feel of the petals curled! A couple sets of "Susan dots" here and there is the added touch that I love to do!

IMG_4720

  • This whole piece was POPPED up with Stampin' Dimensionals…we all love our stampin' vitamins don't we ?!?!?

Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper

  • I needed to make the mailman smile and this works for me when mailing…I added the same touch to the outside of the envelope as well! The "Green Glue" is simply sooooo strong and I always ask the postal clerk to "hand-stamp" it so it does not go through the machine!

IMG_4727

That's it…one clean and simple card that delivers a statement!

As you have heard me say sooo many times…"less is best"!!!

I know that you are excited to hop away and I feel the same as you!!! There is so much talent out there and I am always marveled at everyone's work of art! I get as excited as much as you do!

Please feel free to email me if I can help you in anyway! I love what I do and I love creating clean and simple cards that touch you heart! We all have gifts…I love to help you accomplish your goals and inspire YOU that YOU can do this!
