Paper Patch Crafts Challenge

Look to the sea mateys :) This challenge was right up my alley because I love the ocean. I have been wanting to make this card for awhile and the Peachy Keen Everyday Face Stamps just gave her character. She needed a bow because she is a girl and I used Ranger Diamond Stickles on her Eyes. I also used Stampin' Up's Itty Bitty Background stamps for the tone on tone and the Think Happy Thoughts set for the sentiment. The punches, pink and blue ribbon and the pearl in the center is also from Stampin' Up (love my rep Julie). Here is what I came up with. 

Here is an up close pic of the sentiment...

I promise to get to my card fronts done. Until next time....

Stampin Up Sale-a-bration class

Last night (after a long day) I attended a card making class for Stampin Up. This was the results of  about 2 hours of work:

This last card uses am interesting technique called spotlighting. I daresay that it is pretty neat technique. The other new thing I learned is to bunch the ribbon! This is so cool. The paper is a new pack from Stampin Up, the ribbon is SU twill tape and the new ribbon flower was sprayed with ink. I enjoy learning new things. Until next time.......

A Stampin' Up Morning.....

ok, Mother has a sense of humor. We have had more snow. Not a lot but it is now so icy. Luckily before the storm picked up, we had our monthly Stampin Up get together. This month's technique was Faux Silk. I had a wonderful time and came up with these 3 cards:

This is a photo of all 3:

Here's the recipe:


Stampin Up cardstock, punches, inks and stamps
Tissue Paper
Bone Folder and scissors


You can either stamp on white or light cardstock or directly on the tissue paper. Scrunch the tissue paper and slightly flatten it. Use glue stick when the image dries and lay the tissue paper on the light cardstock. Use your bone folder to slightly flatten it out and trim excess around the edges. I then mounted it on a card and used border punches. 


I really think I may need to do a video of this. It would be easier to show you :)


I hope you enjoyed the pictures and I hope to have a video for you soon. Until next time....

Ta Da......

Good evening all :)

I have officially decided to enter a contest at my local scrapbook store. For $5 you get a kit and you need to come up with your own layouts. My layouts were inspired by two things: punches and corkboards. Can you guess which is which ? I hope to drop them off tomorrow. Here you go.....

As you can see, you get quite a bit of materials for $5 and I still have some extra paper scraps left over. I will probably use it to make a card or two. Until next time...

Happy Scrappin'
