Thougths and Prayer Cards

I cased this card from my blogger buddy Laurie see her card here http://stampingupnorthwithlaurie.blogspot.com/ , I changed my colors but left everything else pretty much the same because it is just perfect the way it is!

Directions:

Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Cameo Coral,Whisper white

Stamp Set: Thoughts and Prayers
Dimensions: Base Kiwi: 4 1/4 x 11 score at 5

Cameo coral: 4 3/4x 3-1/2

Whisper white: 3 1/4 x 4

Assembly:

I used various CB embossing folders on the cardstock to add dimension to the card.

1. Use the Ovals Die cut to create the focal ovals cameo base (large oval)
2. Die Cut White oval(medium oval)
3. Use the eyelet border punch for bottom of the focal cut white cs 1x 3 3 1/4


4. Use the SU little leaves embosslit to cut the leaves adhere under the ovals with a glue dot


5. Use your cameo and old olive markers on the flowers ( stamp off first) on the Thoughts & Prayers stamp on the white oval and then stamp your choice of sentiment on top with classic basic black ink.


6. Adhere the ovals with dimensionals on top as the focal point


7. Punch out cameo little flowers with the Boho punch, and use your paper piercer to poke a hole in the middle and add the brad of your choice and apply with a dimensional.

Raspberry Tart Flip Scrap Album

This is my flip scrap album! It was a challenge I received from a friend. She saw it on SCS and we couldn't find the directions. So I had to look at it and figure it out! I can't believe I figured it out! The one on SCS was made by Sharp Stamper. If you would like to see her sample go to SCS and search Sharp Stamper and you will find her gallery.

This looks very intimidating but really its much simpler than it looks!
This flip book gives you so many pages and different options for your pictures!
They are so fun to decorate and mix and match your DP!
Remember right now is the perfect time to get all the Designer Paper you have been wanting with the promo Buy 3 get one FREE! Promo ends May 31st!!

inside cover of the front
The little scallop envelope can be used to put journal pieces in.

outside of the first insert

This is the opening of the first insert which gives you 3",6" & 3"
I used the eyelet border punch and match box die labels and oval punches

This is a shot of the panels on the outside of the insert .The flower is from Baskets and Blooms and two small ovals that have been crimpedfor the leaves.

This is the second insert
I love this one, it is my favorite in the book!

This is the back of the second insert and the back cover.
I decorated it and left it generic because whoever gets it can customize it and make it their own when they add their pictures! Great craft sale item!

This is the outside of the flip book on the back end.

This is one of the new Sizzix Square Scallop clear die cuts I got at The Orlando Scapbook Expo!

For decorating my album I used alot of the label die cuts from the match box die, photo corners punch, scallop oval punch from the mini and the Daisy die! These are absolutely must have die cuts and punches fro Scrapbooking and Card making!
I hope you enjoy this, let me know what you think?

Rainy Day Creations

So have you noticed if your like me and our house when we refer to colors they are always in Stampin' Up terminology? Oh I saw the most beautiful Old Olive colored shirt today....LOL!

anyway, I was in Staples getting ink cartridges again!! I spotted them way across the aisle

the dry erase boards in Kiwi Kiss and Baha Breeze and the closer I got , YES! they were on CLEARANCE! $3.88. so today I was looking at them wondering what in the world I was going to do with them, I mean at that price and yes bcause they were Kiwi and Baha I had to have them.

anyone relate, like the dollar bin at Target. I have 8 totes of that kind if thinking.

Anyway, I had my rub-ons out and boy I started going to town. They glide on this surface like butter. No mistakes. I think they came out so cute. Great craft sale item. So go buy out your local Staples for $3.88 each and a package of Summer Love rub-ons you can't go wrong!

This is the Baha Breeze one, great for a Friend gift!

This is another one of the mix and match sentiment boxes.
Supplies:

Cardstock:Textured Saffron and Baha, WIP, DP

Textured is more durable and suggested for this project.

Accessories: Sizzix Oval Frame die, Chipboard, DP to cover it, white ep, embossing buddy , heat tool, All Holidays Stamp Set, and in color buttons

CS: Baha and WIP DP

Stamp Set: Central Park, Over AllAccessories: Eyelet border,Matchbox die cut label, medium oval punch,
Bottom of the box with various die cuts labels in matching colors from the matchbox die, stamped sentiments on whisper white cs to mix and match with a dimensional on top.

"Over All "Mix & Match Note Card Gift Boxes

Check out this cool Walk in the Park Box (yes I do own other DP)

However, I have like 4 packs of this! So I am trying to use it up!

Here are a few Note Cards samples made with colored cardstock.

All of these cards will fit into this box and for an advanced card maker you can also add rub-ons to the kit so they embellish the cards a bit more.

This is an awesome gift for anyone. Below I have created a gift set you can mix and match the sentiments to fit whatever occasion. The box tutorial is from the new category on

the SU Demo website
Home > Show & Tell > Stamping Challenge Ideas. this is an awesome tool to find class planners with all the directions from beginning to end and also pictures! Great tool!

So yet another reason to take advantage of the

$75.00 scrapbook recruit promotion! Become a Serenity Stamper today!

I cased this one like the sample on the SU site but changed the DP, etc.

This is the bottom of the box it measures 8.5x8.5 and the top is 7.5x7.5
6 note cards/envelopes from page 157 in SU catty
Decorate with Designer paper, cardstock and then inside their box you put in several different pre-stamped sentiments and then they put a dimensionals on the back and stick it on! Boom their done, just lick the envelope and go! There is even enough room you could put a matching pentel pen with DP wrapped around the inside of the pen to make it coordinate and throw some postage in there as well.

Card samples of the basic layout.
You could use this one for a workshop and only do one project for

your experienced repeat hostesses and stampers! As a special treat!

It is affordable. Just mix and match your Designer papers keeping the same layout makes it super simple to pop these out. Also makes a great class or Stamp Camp project.

I would love to see your box!
