  Finally, I got the chance to play again in Kristina's Color Inspiration Challenge!

This week's colors were Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White.

For the background I used the pink polka dot paper from the Bella Rose designer series paper. The sentiment comes from the Inspired from Nature stamp set. I used a small chocolate felt flower from the Flower fusions and a rhinestone brad to add a little bling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The main embellishment is the butterfly die cuts from the Beautiful butterflies bigz dies and is cut from patterned paper from Bella Rose dsp and textured Close to cocoa cardstock. I added 3 half pearls from the Pretties kit and twisted some wire for the antennas.

The piece of Whisper white was put through the Big Shot machine with the Texturz plates.

All supplies are from Stampin' Up!

How Sweet!

  This is a design from a recent card class that I taught. I used Riding hood red cardstock and the Bella rose designer series paper, which was cut using the Big shot and the Top Note bigz die. I used the Kiwi kiss/Very vanilla double sided satin ribbon to cover the seam.

 

 

 

 

 

  The main image was stamped in Riding hood red using the Cute & curly stamp set which is part of the Curly label punch bundle. It's punched with the Curly label punch of course. I added a small flower cut from the dsp paper to the edge with a tiny rhinestone brad. The sentiment comes from a retired set called So Very.

Mystery Hostess Projects!

  These are the three projects that everyone made on Saturday night at my Mystery Hostess Party.

This card was made using creamy caramel & whisper white cardstock. The patterned paper is the Parisian Breeze specialty paper, which is textured, cover-weight cardstock. It's double-sided and comes in gorgeous designs. I used the Simple salutations stamp set, the Designer label and the Wide oval punch and the Chocolate chip double stitched grosgrain ribbon.

 

Everyone also got to try the Big Shot machine. We used it to create the small dots on the whisper white using the Texturz plates. Then we also used the Simple flower embosslits to cut out & emboss the main image. We used the sponge dauber to add a little color to the flower. Then added a button from the Button Latte collection.

 

The next project is a Ribbon bookmark using either the Baja breeze or Kiwi kiss striped grosgrain ribbon, the Scallop circle punch, the 1 1/4" circle punch and the Five petal flower punch. The flower image is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set called Polka dot punches. A silver brad was added to the center. The designer series paper used was Urban garden. At the end of the ribbon they could have chosen between the Filigree or Flower designer brads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last project was a 6 X 6 scrapbook page using the butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz dies and the Big Shot machine, the Polka-dot punches stamp set and the Delicate Dots designer series paper, which is a Sale-a-bration freebie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The colors used were Certainly celery and So Saffron.

Family Flip Out Book

  This adorable little book is a creation I made for a class that I taught over the weekend. It was made with half of the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' kit which includes Certainly celery, So saffron, Baja breeze and Old olive textured cardstock along with coordinating double-sided paper and self-adhesive die cuts. The only other products that I needed were the clear button and Baja breeze striped grosgrain ribbon. All supplies are from Stampin' Up! except the sentiment on the cover from Verve stamps.

 

 

 

 

Inside are 2 pages that flip out on either side and another page that flips down from the center giving you ample room for lots of photos and journaling.

Happy Birthday Goodies!

  Hi Everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a very long time. That will change now that I have the incentive which is that people actually miss my projects! I will make the time to post daily again since there are so many that take the time to visit my blog to see my latest creations. Thank you to all of you!

 

My project today was a present for my sister-in-law's birthday. Her favorite cookies are snickerdoodles so I baked them for her. I packaged them in a clear plastic container which I dolled up with Urban Garden designer series paper and some Baja Breeze Grosgrain ribbon.

The main embellishment is cut from the dsp. I cut out different petals from 3 flowers and layered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.
