My Family Tree with All the Write Stuff

The front cover of this scrap tin was done with Razzleberry lemonade DP and embellishments from the Write Stuff The inside of the tin is with the designer paper from The Write Stuff along with emebllishments


Punches and die cuts are super handy for the embellishing process on my scrap tins.

Especially if you are just usng DP and not a scrap kit, you have to get crafty!!
The Big Shot what did we ever do before it!! I love seeing all the creative ways I can use to it to embellish my tins along with their friends the punches! SU has the best punches ever!!


The inside of the tin leaves lots of room for customized pictures with adjusted heigth and width of less than 3x4 which is the measurement of the solid card stock.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these lovely tins please email me at whitneyrichardson1969@gmail.com

OOOOH La La It's Noveau Chic

I absolutely love this paper more than the last I said I loved sooo much!!
This is my style !
Above is a box I learned from Dawn O.'s blog, you use (2) #2 boxes die cuts and put them together.


Then there is a 6x6 flip scrap book, with the lovely new techniques I learned with the top note cut into this lovely shape on the Front with My Kind and Dear Friend embossed in black on the top with filigree brads at top and bottom from MY Kind and Dear Friend Laurie from up North!

Check out her site at http://stampingupnorthwithlaurie.blogspot.com/ for a quick tutorial on the top note transformation.
Then the NEW wedding favor box die in black has been embossed with the Swirly stamp in Wedding Sweet in silver. This die cut takes a sheet of 12x12 paper! It looks like you can do it with 11 but you cannot! Remember when ordering new die cuts specially extended ones to read everything underneath the definition in the catty and get all the supplies you need to use it. the new extended crease pads are available NOW!
If you are having trouble with your matchbox die instead of using you crease pad on the top just sandwich between your acrylics. I have heard it comes out better, you can also put a sheet of cardstock on the bottom of the die cut to make the sandwich tighter and it will help cut or make your cuts/impressions more defined.
This is what the flip scrap album looks like in the inside. this paper takes no thinking at all with the coordination everything matches and comes together beautifully!!
This is so beautiful but it takes alot of DP!!

Hope you enjoy it! Give me your comments!!

Congragulations! Lisa Curcio

Guess who will be on this cruise! Yep, my upline and dear friend Lisa Curcio!
Lisa has been a huge inspiration in my business. She has taught me perseverance and patience.
But most of all she has taught me that it is so much more than a business. It is about the friendships you develop along the way.
She has been an SU demonstrator for 10 years and lost her up line early on. So she has dedicated herself to provide a strong downline support for her girls in
"Hawaiian Ink" so that we have the benefit of her experience,what works and what hasn't.
I am very blessed to be a part of this group, with wonderful talented sidelines.
Way to go, Lisa we are very proud of you!!

Animal Stories in Tall Tales

I think this card turned out so cool. It is a horse right, something about the way the horse has it head kinda of cocky, like us as teens and young adults alittle cocky. Then the sentiment" It Takes Courage to Grow Up and Be Who You Really Are" Something about it just struck me that when we finally get to the realization and find that courage which only can come from spiritual growth by then we have found a little humility and our head isn't quite as cocky anymore. This is a pocket card, with Old Olive base and Tall Tales DP, whisper white sentiment punched out with the modern punch stamped with Crushed Curry
"its good to dream" from Razzle Dazzle.
I used the eyelet border punch and wrapped Saffron twill ribbon around the flap and adhered it down. On the sides I used small silver brads to hold the sides together using a 1/16" punch .
On the insert I used a silver eyelet and set it with the cropadile and ran a bit of chocolate twill thru the top. The base is saffron top note with a white top note minus the perforation to give it that layered affect.
I hope you enjoy this card and the sentiment behind it.





New In Color Criss Cross Cards

Look for a Criss Cross card this month at stamp camp. These are super fun to make and so many options with the insert. This one has the Razzleberry Lemonade DP with Melon Mambo as the base cs. With Crushed curry and whisper white for the sentiment. Curry die cut label from the matchbox die and Thinking of you from The NEW level 3 Hostess Set Kind and Caring Thoughts.
The inside is stamped with Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry and the sentiment is stamped in Melon. Whisper white front top note with perforation cut off and then the back top note is pumpkin pie. I also used some of the library clip asst in silver on the top instead of doing the hole and ribbon option.
This is the NEW Razzleberry Lemonade DP along with the new in colors
Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo and whisper white.
The base of the card is crushed curry and the top note that pulls out is melon mambo. I used the match box label die cuts to make the label on the front embossing it with white ep. I also used the jumbo eyelets set with the cropadile with a bit of suede polka dot ribbon thru the eyelet.
The stamp set is 24-7( Not 24 minus 7) inside joke LOL!
I think out of the whole NEW catalog this razzle dazzle set for like $18.95 is the gem of all!
It's like Baroque Motiff a classic. there are just so many things you can do with it.
Below is the NEW soft suede in color with vanilla. I stamped the flourish image in the soft suede on the vanilla and it just instantly turns any colored cardstock into Designer paper.
The stamp on the top note in soft suede is Live , Laugh and Love Happy Birthday
from the Birthday set. Also the sentiment on the front it from the same set "It's your birthday"
punched out with the NEW modern punch.


I used the pewter jumbo eyelet and soft suede polka dot ribbon again. It matched perfectly. That is why I love Stampin' UP! everything matches and I don't have to put alot of thought and run all over town looking for this or that I have it all at the tip of my fingers.Or a catalog order away and plus I get FREE merchandise based on the amount of money I spend!!
I hope you have your new catalogs or they are on the way and you are making your juicy wish list for all the new products you are going to treat yourself to.
Remember our motto if your new to the group
Stamping is cheaper than therapy! Definitely cheaper than mall retail therapy and all other addictions we won't mention! I have met the most amazing people through my stamp groups and look forward to getting a new stamp group together here in Daytona soon!
things are going well at the local market I have met some amazing Stampin' Up customers who are very loyal, and oh it so refreshing you can tell by the look in their eye as they approach my booth if they know SU! products, their eyes get that twinkle! So I would like to give ahout out to all market goers and thanks for stopping by and make sure to get isgned up for your classes this month!
