Wood Textures Embossing

Hey there Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

It's been a great week so far, last night we were lucky enough to get to see Come From Away. Soooo good! And tonight I get to hang out with my Stampers Club ladies!

Today's card was inspired by Denise and features embossing on the Wood Textures DSP.

Have a great week!

Hey there Bloggers! Guess what day it is! TGIF! I am very much looking forward to the weekend so I can get some creativity time in. Unfortunately it is also grocery weekend so that will cut into some of my time....UGH! 

So what are your thoughts on the new Tag Topper punches? Is it something that you weren't sure about and after seeing so many projects online you have decided you need one? I know that's what happened to me.

Christmas Gift Holder

Hey there bloggers! It's been awhile again since I've been able to post.  Unfortunately working 

9.5 hour days does that. There isn't much energy left for creativity. But I will be trying to make more of an effort. 

So, back in the spring I saw the new Envelope Punch Board when the new CHA products were being released to the distributors. And to be honest I thought... why do I need this? I don't really have any interest in making my own envelopes, it so much easier just to buy them. Once it arrived at work I wasn't able to keep in stock. But I still didn't see the need for one. Then Stampin' Up! announced a partnership with the manufacturer and we would be carrying them also. So I thought... Well I should probably have one so I can be informed when my customers ask me about them. So I bought one. 

Then I saw a project online and I was so excited! I made a few envelopes, and some file folder cards, and it was so easy to use. I started to get  a little more interested. And then it happened... my Ah-Ha moment.... I saw this awesome chocolate treat holder online and I was soooo excited! I couldn't wait to try it out. I have to give credit to Janet Wakeland who created the original project.

So I made one for my Stamper's Club project and everyone was wowed. Unfortunately I didn't have any current Christmas DSP so I used some retired items. Here it is, enjoy!

Lattice Edge

Hey there Bloggers! It's Wednesday and that means only 2 more days to go until the weekend. And I can't wait for Saturday, because my favorite team the Calgary Roughnecks will be playing for the Western Division Championships in lacrosse. 

Today's card is one that we made at our April Stamper's Club meeting. It has a Lattice Fold on the inside edge and then the lattice was inked. It looks very cool in person and is actually really easy to make. 

Enjoy!

Banners!

Hey there Bloggers! Hope you are all doing well and had a good weekend. 

I heard some sad news for the industry last week.... Creative Memories parent company has filed for Chapter 11. This is apparently the second time in five years. It is too bad when scrapbooking companies are unable to sustain themselves. There has also been a merger within the scrapbooking world recently too with Tonic Studios and Purple Cows.

And in other news.... Stampin' Up! will be announcing the 2013 retired list on April 24. So if you don't receive my emails, make sure that you sign up so that you can receive a copy of the list as soon as it is released. And don't forget that these items will sell out very quickly so place your orders immediately.

I told her that next month I will feature them at our club meeting so I will hopefully have some samples for you all too!

Chalkboard Technique

Hi Bloggers! It's Monday again, and another long week ahead. 

This week I have my Stamper's Club group on Wednesday and I can't wait to show them what I have planned for them.... I will post later this week after they have made the projects. 

So Sale-a-Bration starts this week and I am showcasing another card using the Feeling Sentimental stamp set. I am really liking this set... And it's FREE! There's nothing better than that!

I am curious though, what criteria do you use when purchasing your stamp sets? Is it just love of the image? Or value that you get in the set.. say more stamps in the set for a good price? Do you figure out how many different ways that you could use the set to get the most value? I would love your feedback so leave me a comment. I just purchase them based on what I like, no thought process here! LOL

So here's my card today using the Chalkboard Technique...

A Magical Birthday

Wow! I can't believe it's the end of another month, and the kids are headed back to school again. I find it amazing how life seems to fly by now. Pretty soon I will be back at the rink with hockey and skating. 

Today's card is designed based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch #256

And I made this card for a friend of mine who was having a birthday this week and she is a HUGE Disney fan! I hope you like it. 

Terryfic Tips:

• When using an overlay, try to attach it to your project behind other layers so it isn't noticeable. 
• Use the corner of a square punch to create the flag ends on your paper. 
• Mat your glimmer paper to "ground" it.

Paper:  Whisper White (100730), Basic Black (121045), Red Glimmer Paper (121790), Night & Day DSP (Retired)

Social Media

So I'm sitting here watching the news and a story comes on about a teenage girl here in Calgary who has cancer. When she was diagnosed, she started tweeting about how things were going and how she was feeling. All of the feedback and encouragement she has received has helped her to stay positive and strong. And it's not only from people like you and me, but hockey superstars too. She is very passionate about her hockey and she has even scheduled her chemo around hockey tryouts. I found the story very inspirational and I love how people can feel/do positive things through social media. I hope that you will follow this inspirational young woman  @CuzIHaveCancer

Today's card has a more vintage feel to it. I used the Everything Eleanor and French Foliage stamp sets.

• lay a strip of Sticky Strip adhesive where you would like your ribbon to sit. Then gather the Ribbon along the Sticky Strip pressing down in the hollows to adhere.
