I've gotten a lot of emails about my grunge flower.  You wanted to know how I did it so I did a quick video which I'm going to call "How'd She DO That?!" that shows how simple the Blossom Flower is!  

In fact…I'm going to be doing lots of "How'd She Do That?!" Videos 'cause I aim to please! 😀  If there's anything you want to see, just drop me a note and I'd be happy to throw a quick video up for you!

Enjoy! 😀

I've been working on lots of new projects for my online classes at StampAcademy.com but I stopped to do another challenge!   I just LOVE my job!  

I don't know about you, but I love, love, LOVE Shabby Chic!  Here's my Mother's Day Card I hope you like it! 😀

I've been stamping…uh…I mean WORKING all day! 😉  After all, stamping IS my JOB! I created this baby for a few different challenges.  I love using them for inspiration!

This card is shabby but then has the unexpected contrast of the bling.  I hope you like it!

Lots of goodies on the stamp table today…Card stocks:  Pretty in pink, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Whisper White.  Accessories:  Big Shot, Perfect Penants Die, Polka Dot & Stripes Textured Impressions Folders, 1 3/4" circle punch, scallop punch, pretty in pink 1 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, whisper white tafetta ribbon, rhinestones, Vanilla Smooch Pearlized Top Coat, Distressing Tool, Tagtastic Stamp Set, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink.

These little roses are soooo easy!  Just punch out card stock using a scallop circle punch, spiral cut it, wrap it around a skewer.  Voila!  These are painted with smooch on the edges.  I can post of video of how simple they are.  Check back tomorrow.

This card uses the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder and the Tasteful Trim Die with Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper.  The scallop is cut using the Perfect Penants Die and Tempting Turquoise card stock.  The ribbons are 1/8" Daffodil Delight and Daffodil Delight Seam Binding.  The greeting is Curvy Verses in Real Red ink.  

The bling is our Rhinestones and a Rhinestone Brad.

A Monday Clean and Simple Card for you!  This uses the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder (LOVE it!) and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. The Button is from the Brights Collection.

Happy Monday, Everyone!  And…that means another Sketch for you! 😀

Enjoy!

 The base card is Soft Suede card stock (1/2 sheet).  The Designer Series Paper is Well Worn.  I used the Perfect Penants Die and the circle is cut using the Circles #2 Die and the little strip is from the Tasteful Trim Die and Soft Suede card stock all cut with the Big Shot.  The Greeting is from Smarty Pants in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla card stock sponged with River Rock Classic Ink.   The button is from the Regals Collection tied with a piece of Linen Thread.

We had our Quarterly Team Meeting today!  Because of the holiday, it was a small group.  We had sooo much fun just being together!  Here are a couple of cards…I'll be sharing more in the next few days.

Enjoy!

This was my demo card – I love the Designer Paper Packs – LOTS of options!!!!

The card below was done by Sandy Silberquit.  Look at the eggs…they're PAINT CHIPS!!!!  Can you STAND it!!!!  Too stinkin' cute! 😀

OMG!  BEST idea EVER!!!!  I had a Team Meeting today and Fran Trischetta was in my Stamp Room where my Score Tool was out on the counter. She suggested that I put it in my drawer and when I need to score a card, I can just turn around, pull out the drawer and SCORE!!!  A "Score Drawer!"  I LOVE IT!!!!!  And…it frees up counter space!  Yay!!!!!  Check it out:

I did this Video last month when we were able to pre-order this adorable purse die from Stampin' Up!

The purse is done using what I call "Faux Acrylic Distress."

Enjoy!

I love that quote!  It's so positive!  And I've begun to love Mondays too! LOL  -  So, here my card for today:

The base card is Pool Party run through the Big Shot using the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder.  The funky polka dot paper and wavy lines DSP are both from the Specialty Sweet Shop Collection.  The Wisteria Wonder card stock peeking out of the DSP is edged using the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  For the circles, I finally broke out the Circle Cutter and Glass Mat – sooooooo easy!!!! The butterflies are an embosslit called Beautiful Wings and I couldn't resist painting a tiny bit of Smooch Pearlized Top Coat on the edge of the top one.  Then, finished off with Basic Pearls.  

Enjoy!
