Carol made another cute card using this set and the two step stampin' method...this one is a get well card and would make the person who is not feeling up to par smile and feel a little better.

This is the recipe:
Stamp set: Simple sketches (retired from Stampin' Up) and Small greetings purchased from Hero Arts.

Card stock: Whisper white and Summer sun.

Inks: Summer Sun...Barely Banana...Gable Green...and Green Galore.

Additional supplies: Scallop punch...1 1/2 inch round punch...snail adhesive...and yellow sheer ribbon purchased from Michael's.

Kisses

Yummo...who doesn't like chocolate and who said "life's like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get"...but with this little tin pail full of chocolates you know exactly what you're getting...kisses...kisses...kisses...and more kisses.
This little pail measures approximately 4 inches high (not including the handle) and 4 inches across...just the right size to fill with your favorite chocolates...I even blinged the letters "KISSES"...which was a very messy job with bright red glitter...there has to be another way to do that, which wouldn't be so messy.



This is the quick recipe:
Card Stock: Regal Rose and Pixie Pink from Stampin' Up.

Additional Supplies: Xyron...Sakura glitter pink pen...Valentine Red ultra fine opaque glitter from the Art Institute...Red, Tea rose , and Pink Plaid ribbons form Joannes...Sizzix lower case alphabet dies...Red metal primitive heart from my stash...and Little red tin bucket from Target.

As you can see there was no stampin' involved in this quick project...the only thing though was the glittering of the letters was a bit messy...but it was fun and quick...and stayed with our "KISS" theme...Keep It Simple Silly...LOL (it makes me laugh every time I say that) and when the stampin' ladies are around and we say KISS...we throw kisses in the air...anyway you could make lots of these cute buckets for your favorite sweetie.

Thanks for stopping by today...the wind is very strong so stay safe...everything is blowing around out side...have a stampin' good day and a cup of hot chocolate to keep you warm.

Look what I did again...

Oops...I did it again...and I Luv...Luv...Luv it as much as I did the first time I did it...LOL...and it is great. I got Many Happy Returns...which is a 3 piece set and turned it into a 33 piece set...how cool is that...LUV it...I used some more of those little wood blocks from my local dollar shop and again it worked great.




There is quite a few that can be used for Valentines day...the sentiment "Tickled Pink" had to be put on the larger side of the wood block, because it is a lot wider than the rest of the other pieces...but even that wasn't a problem because it stopped the rest of the stamps from falling over...so it actually worked out great...no shifting of the stamps in the box.

If you can see in the pics...I tried to show you how much wider the "Tickled Pink is...thanks for stopping by today...I have a class tonight and have to finish up my projects...it's going to be a cold one today...so stay warm and toasty.

Have a stampin' good day...Luv ya' all.

Love Chipboard Card

I luv...luv...luv how this little chipboard card turned out...it was a fun project...even though it took a little bit of time to do it...actually...it took me all day...LOL...but once I knew what I wanted to do I rolled along pretty quickly.

I decided to use the rubbons again from Royal Langnickle...it wasn't as hard to rub it onto the card stock as it was the glass that I had used earlier this week...they do have very pretty rubbons.

I changed my mind and added some pink glitter to the "L"...it gave the page a little bling that I luv soooooooooo!!! much.

This is the long recipe:

Stamps: Wonderful Words...For a Friend (level 1 hostess)...Bitty Bolds (retired).

********************

I think that my stampin' ladies would love to make this also...I might just make this a class for them too...the chipboard is great to work with and I have tons of it since I had to order so much...maybe I will be doing a lot more projects with it.

********************

I forgot to mention that after I covered the chipboard...I didn't like the white that was showing around the edges so I used my Rose Red marker and went around the edges...it soaked into the chipboard and blended in nicely with the card stock.

********************

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a stampin' good day.

All Aboard Birthday Train

Carol likes to make the masculine cards...and she did a great job on these two cards...the stamp set has long been retired...but has remained one of her favorites.

This is the recipe:

Stamp Set: All Aboard (retired)...and print pattern...Birthday sentiments unknown.

Card stock: creamy caramel...tempting turquoise...chocolate chip...and whisper white.

Inks: creamy caramel and chocolate chip.

Valentine Chocolate Kisses Jar

I wish that I had more of these cute little honey bottles...they have a nice shape and hold a good amount of chocolate goodies in them...I have this one filled with chocolate kisses...but the opening is large enough that you could anything into the jar.

This is the quick recipe:

Card stock: Real red and pattern paper are both from my scrap stash.

Additional Supplies: Scalloped punch...Sizzix large circle die...snail adhesive...Bringing love glitter rubbons from Royal and Langnickle...and Pink double stitch ribbon.

This jar took me about fifteen minutes to complete...I would have finished sooner if the rubbons didn't give me a hard time...I had a lot of trouble with them...I had to rub so hard that my wrist and fingers hurt...the Royal and Langnickel rubbons seem to have a thicker backing on it than other rubbons...which made it very hard to rub onto a surface...I will try it on something else and see if I have the same problem...their website had a lot of other cute rubbons and a lot of them with glitter...I love that bling.

Thank you for stopping by this freezin' cold morning...I am off to see what else I can use these rubbons onto.

Have a stampin' good day and stay warm.

Mini Note Holders

Our theme for the month of January is "KISS"...Keep It Simple Silly.




And that is just what I did with these mini binder clips for our class on Sunday...I kept it simple...these little binder clips took about a minute each to make and no stampin' was involved.




I purchased the binder clips at Staples...card stock was Creative License DSP (retired from Stampin' Up) and scrap papers from my stash...Blue bayou double stitch ribbon from stampin' up...yellow and green ribbons are from my scrap ribbon stash...we used mini punches to make the little hearts...mittens...and gingerbread man.
