Googly Ghouls

Isn't this adorable? I just love Googly Ghouls and the Googly Eyes. I colored the ghouls with markers after stamping them in black classic ink. I punched them out with the extra large oval punch. I added the colored pieces to the black background and ran it through my Big Shot using the spider web folder. Don't forget to stamp the words before you emboss the paper.

Merry Minis

I love the new Merry Minis stamp set and matching punches. This card is really fast and fun. I stamped the three images, then punched them out with the 1 inch square punch. Then I punched the three punches and punched them out with the 1 inch square punch. I used dimensionals (cut in half) to layer these together on top of a punched scallop square. This is a punchy card, lol! Of course I had to use my Big Shot and the petals-a-plenty folder. Happy Christmas comes from More  Merry Messages. Did you get your free ribbon last month? Look how perfect it is on this card! I used whisper white, daffodil delight, gumball green, and real red classic pads and card stock. Happy stamping!

Big Shot Christmas Snow

I know this an an old Big Shot die but I still love it! I cut the flakes out of glossy paper and glued them on. I used my 1/2 inch circle punch and added silver glimmer sparkle. I put fake snow inside then tide a Christmas ribbon around it. I added a Christmas pick with silver sparkles and shiny red balls. I will be selling this at the November 15-17th Craft Fair at Faith Lutheran in Collierville. Come and see me!

Halloween Frame

I have always wanted to make one of these 8 x 10 frames. I spent about 5 hours designing each
2 x 2 1/2 inch "square". Trying to use what I had and what is current was the tricky part. Each frame is slightly different so be sure to lay the "squares" on before you decorate them so you can trim.  I want to make a Christmas one next. Or a winter theme... the list is endless. Make several inserts that can be swapped out and give it as a gift.  I want that gift!

Snow Flurry

I love the new Snow Flurry Big Shot die. For this one I used cherry cobbler and whisper white. I used a little of the cherry tulle between the two snowflakes. Then I added a large pearl to the center. Do you see the tiny dots? I filled a mister with alcohol and added some of the shimmer paint. It really adds a sparkle! It is hard to see but the white has been embossed with the snowflake embossing folder. The words are embossed in white and are from More Merry Messages. I am so ready for some snow!!

Papillon Potpourri

I heard the Papillon Potpourri is one of the most popular new stamp sets. I believe it! It is a gorgeous set. It has a matching punch called Elegant Butterfly that really makes using this set a breeze. Don't you just love Polka Dot Parade DSP? This is daffodil delight. It also comes in real red, pumkin pie, marina mist, old olive, and rich razzleberry. 

I hadn't planned to put the bottom scallop strip on but I just couldn't throw it away. I used the Large Scallop edgelit to cut it. That is a must have! I also used my Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Big Shot, scallop square punch, BoHo Blossoms punch, pearls, white satin ribbon, and the 1 inch square punch.

The word set is from Sweet Essentials. Don't forget to stamp BEFORE you run the card stock through your Big Shot.

 

Happy stamping!

A Cherry On Top

This is one of the hostess sets called A Cherry On Top. I wish you could see the faux glass cupcake top we made out of a window sheet. It really makes this set perfect!!

If you would like to hostess a party at my house or yours (Memphis area) you could earn this FREE set and much more. Contact me to set up a time that is good for you.





Happy stamping!

September Scrapbooking

If you didn't come to my September scrapbooking class this is what you missed! We made all three 12 x 12 layouts for only $22. We cut the pumpkins out using the Oval Die (Big Shot). I found the school set at a garage sale for almost nothing. It is a retired Stampin' Up set from years ago. The sports wheel is also retired. We made the star points using the Perfect Pennants Die (Big Shot). I hope you can join us next month. I provide everything. You just show up!

Moving Forward

If you purchase this set Stampin' Up will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House. The set has many more cute stamps waiting to be used! This time I stamped the bike in black and the flowers in red Then I stamped an extra basket, cut it out, and mounted it on a dimensional.

Sunflower

This one turned out really pretty. In person the sunflower is a deeper color. I covered the rubber with daffodil delight ink then took a raspberry ripple marker and made several swipes along the edges of the petals. I stamped that on whisper white card stock. Next, I used the flower from Betsy's Blossoms and stamped it in soft suede. I punched out the middle then punched it using the large scallop punch. I added layers of soft suede between them.
