Celebrations!

John's birthday cardTim and Nina's anniversary cardLuminary 2013

August has been a busy month for me! I had a nephew’s birthday, Relay for Life and my sister’s anniversary to celebrate. Along with end of the summer celebrating to do. As my kids will start school again this Wednesday the 21st.

Anyways, I wanted to share what I have been doing and creating even if I have not been posting.

My nephew just turned 17 and is a big Doctor Who fan so I wanted to do a element in that so hence the photobooth stamp I used from the set that we got in Salebration this year. It was from the Feeling Sentimental stamp set. Inside the little tag I had stamped Celebrate! which was also from the same stamp set. I had embossed his card with the Alphabet Press (130916) $7.95 I also used the Designer Series Paper Soho Subway (130140) $10.95

Before I became a Stampin’ Up! Demo I was a scrapbooker so I have a lot of paper stash and accessories.  For my sister’s anniversary card I used what I had and came up with a fast and simple card. Inside though the greeting was stamped with the Teeny Tiny Wishes Set (128748) W $36.95 (127802) C $26.95

For those of you familiar with Relay for Life you know it’s a big fundraiser and awareness relay that the American Cancer Association puts on. My family and I have been doing this for 2 years now. Unfortunaly, we had lost our Mom to Pancreatic Cancer on April 15, 2011. One of the things you can do is make a luminary bag that they will have lit during the luminary service around the track as that is where a relay usually takes place. I used a mix of Stampin’ Up! product and non. The flowers were punched with the Blossom punch. (125603) $16.95

I hope you enjoyed what I shared. I wanted you to encourage to use your stash whether its retired, non stampin’ up and the like. Better to make beautiful things than to hoard it for that special day that may never come. And the way I see it? You can always buy more! Hehe.

Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions or in need of a catalog please let me know. I would love to help you out.

  I am trying to challenge myself. So I have decided to participate in the card/color challenges you would see around the web. One blog I found that had a color challenge was this. Stylin' Stampin Inspiration You can find more info if you follow the link. The color scheme they had was Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey and Calypso Coral. This is what I came up with. I used the Four Feather Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog as well as the framelits that you can get in a bundle. I also used Blended Bloom and colored it with Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  In the picture of the 2 cards I had done that card for Creative Challenge Club .

  Lately,I have been on a kick to participate in challenges. I am finding that I am enjoying the color challenges the best. This is the card that I made for Pals Paper Arts . This challenge closes tomorrow Sept 9th at 9:00 am PST. If your wanting to join you still have time! The colors they called for was Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. I am really enjoying playing with my For All Things stamp set and Color me Autumn.  You can find those in the Holiday Catalog. If you are in need of one please let me know and I will be happy to send you one.  I liked the double stamp look. I think that is what it is called even though it was two different stamps and not the same one. If you’d like to try your hand in making this here’s the supply list. Thanks for looking and have a great day! Till next time!

Gingham Garden Box

Image
I meet once a month with a group of ladies to scrapbook. We work on our own projects or someone will teach us something. Last night we were taught how to make boxes. After I made the box that they provided I decided to do my own version with Stampin’ Up! supplies. This would be a fun box to put a gift in or to keep some cards in. The material I used was Gingham Garden DSP ( 129310 $10.95) Midnight Muse Stampin’ Write Marker. (You can get a pack of the 2012-2014 pack of In Colors for $14.95 126856) and the new In Color 2013-2015 Card Stock. Working with paper and what you can do with it is endless!
