Sale-a-bration Big Shot Club

Big shot club members Katie and Lynn are making their
Faux alligator purse and filling it with Easter goodies! Becky and Deb showing off their BIG SHOT skills!

This is the Scallop envelope die cut used to make a box with a bunny attached to
it decorated with Tea Party DP.
Tutorial on SCS under resources. Bunny inspired by Creations on Paper.

I think this is my favorite card made with the Movers and Shakers die cut! along with the Shapers scallop oval magnet die .
I love the Shades of Spring DP , definately had to see it in person and it grew on me.
Now I can't get enough of it. This card is so cool. You can see the tutorial
Then we made these little purse baskets using the faux alligator technique we learned at leadership a couple of years ago. The design using the #2 box on the inside was inspired by Becky at Inking Idaho.

Then we made the cutest lil purse that perfectly holds Ghiradelli chocs using the Two Tag Sizzix die cut. The butterfly embossing folder and old olive satin 5/8" ribbon in Cottage Wall DSP.
The handle is made using the wide oval punch and then punch it again with the medium punch then cut it in half. Then we used the stamp set Teeny Wishes and the jewlery tag punch from the Occasions Mini. Too cute!!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our SAB Big shot club and I look forward to seeing you all in BIG SHOT 2 club in April where we will have a Mystery Hostess each month.
you can also purchase the BIG SHOT on my kit payment plan!
Email if you are interested we have 1 spot left to fill!!








Puppy Scrap Tin

This is a scrap tin that I made for my hair stylist! She has the cutest little pups and she had tons of pictures on her station mirror of them so I thought a scrap tin to display them in would be a great gift for her!
This is what it looks like when you open it up!

Just a few shots of the inside pages!


She loved it and she also got one of my Christmas Jingle tins for the pups Christmas pictures.




Ink Bug's Stamp Club

Cute little purse made with the Two Tag Sizzix die cut in Rasberry Lemonade for a door prize!
with Totally Tess stamp set from Occasions Mini.
This is a delightful group of ladies that joined me for a day of Stampin' UP! fun
Here are two of the Ink Bug stampers Janet and Charlotte

Dee & Marilyn showing off their beautiful Tri-Fold card stamped with Friends 24-7 Stamp Set and Tea Party DP

This is Debbie, a huge Stampin' Up! gal and very crafty!
Below is the inside of her Tri-Fold card stamped with Abundant Hope stamp set.
We used the Butterfly die cut, top note turned twice and our bold bright water color crayons and blender pens.


I had an amazing time with this group of ladies and have now named them My Ink Bug stampers! I hope to spend alot more time stamping with them soon.
The greatest thing about having your own business is that you get to choose who you work with on a daily basis. God continues to bring wonderful people in my life everyday.
Stampin' Up! has been an absolutely amazing journey and I look forward to many more years.

Tins! Tins! & more Tins!

Mother's Day Rules of Choolate Candy Tin in Shades of Spring
Use 1x3 DP strips with sticky strip on back(trust me I have tried every other adhesive this is the only one that holds)to wrap your Hershey's Nuggets ,holds 25 nuggets.

This is my New Wedding Line- Signature Design Scrap Tin
Designer Speciality Paper-Bridesmaid on the top & Groomsmen on the bottom
Embellishment- Groomsmen(black) cut a top note then turn it and cut it again to make this shape, then another strip of Groomsmen the width of the tin and one of The Guest Book Simply Scrappin' Kit die cut adhesives for the top.
I used some of the very elegant vanilla satin 5/8" ribbon along with some half back pearls from the Pretties Kit! Oh yes, you must have a Pretties Kit! The hatpin with all the beautiful pearls and bling is also from that Pretties Kit!!
I was going for simplistic yet elegant. What do you think? too plain?
I don't do simple well...


This is the inside cover.I embellished with all the die cut adhesives from the scrap kit along with some big shot die cuts of my own. I have so much fun making these!!
My SET therapist daughter is getting married and I think this is going to be my gift to them. Plus some beautiful thank you cards.

I got the inspiration for this card Flowerbug's website
I had a workshop yesterday and used this design
and it was a huge hit!! I used my scor-friend to make the lines on the back. every 1/2" I scored a line across to give it some texture on the card.
If you would like to order a one of my signature custom designed scrap tins email me at www.whitneyrichardson1969@gmail.com
