This first one we got to use the new <span style="color:#ff9900;">letterpress plates</span>, which is pretty cool. I used craft ink for this one, but I've heard the classic ink works just as well if not better. I love punches, so of course I just had to get the <span style="color:#ff9966;">bat punch</span>.</div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TKfeHITW1lI/AAAAAAAAAz0/CFTnEeI6mvU/s1600/006_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523627682062325330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TKfeHITW1lI/AAAAAAAAAz0/CFTnEeI6mvU/s320/006_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a> This design I found on Splitcoast, but I added the ribbon and used the <span style="color:#999900;">decorative label punch <span style="color:#000000;">and</span> pearl</span>. I used the Rock'n Roll method for stamping the leaves.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TKfeGtD-GBI/AAAAAAAAAzs/Fr6B2ec2DY4/s1600/001_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523627674750031890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TKfeGtD-GBI/AAAAAAAAAzs/Fr6B2ec2DY4/s320/001_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a> And lastly, here's a little favor bag or luminaire we made using the <span style="color:#6600cc;">Fancy Favor</span> die. Punched out a circle using the <span style="color:#6600cc;">1"3/4" circle punch</span>, and added a piece of <span style="color:#6600cc;">vellum cardstock</span> that had been run through the <span style="color:#6600cc;">Big Shot</span> using the <span style="color:#6600cc;">Web embossing folder</span>. Added a bat that was covered with <span style="color:#6600cc;">Chuncky Black glitter</span> and tied <span style="color:#6600cc;">Raven lace trim</span> around it.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523629764252780322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TKfgAVEPxyI/AAAAAAAAA0E/qJ276vnGnMw/s320/009_wm.JPG" border="0" /> <div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/SmQI0q6p4DI/AAAAAAAAAkU/ukLogXCTJ4c/s320/mitchellsiggy.jpg" /></div></div></div>Sharlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00201399364050534759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745564846861801500.post-1892373069566406612010-09-30T18:58:00.000-07:002010-09-30T19:20:27.964-07:00hallo-scream!<div align="center">Last weekend I had a, Harvest Stamp Camp, making Halloween and Thanksgiving Day cards.

I was amazed how easy they were to make, and no two will ever look alike.

Here's another new SU! set which I've had for a little while, and just now had a chance to play. I thought this set is just too cute, it won't be hard coming up with some fun designs. I have a shoebox swap I'm going to on Monday, so I plan on using this card.

I used a new SU! stamp set for this card, <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Artistic Etchings</span><em>.</em> For all you Paris lovers this might be a set you need to add to your collection. I can rarely do a card without using the <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Big Shot</span>, so I used the <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Ovals Die</span> and the <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Vintage Wallpaper</span> embossing folder. Love Love Love the embossing folders, just adds so much to the card and it's so easy :o).

It's just been one of those summers so far....still lots of baseball going on, craziness at work, and most importantly my oldest son graduated from high school, woohoo! it's still so hard to believe he's all grown up, but he's sooooo glad to be done.<br /><br />Oh Oh, I almost forgot.....Eclipse is out and I've already seen it twice :o) I went to the opening midnight showing, got 1 1/2 hours of sleep as I had to be at work that morning, but it was totally worth it, LOL! I know I'm obsessed but I think this was the best one yet. <div></div><br />But anyway, the new Stampin'Up! catalog is out and full of lots of new products and ideas. I seem to always go mad when it first arrives...first check out what new accessories are in the back of the catalog, then start my wish list, then start grazing over every page checking out all the great ideas and samples they've created, then I got back and start checking out all the stamp sets and adding to my wish list. I know, it probably sounds odd but that's the way I do it :o)<br /><br />I've had these two new stamp sets for a while now and finally had a chance to play with them. Here's a couple quick samples I made up. Enjoy, and I hope you all had a fun and safe 4th!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490618630370024034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 254px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TDKYjcRY2mI/AAAAAAAAAxE/joUAEx_klDU/s320/001_wm.JPG" border="0" /> <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Stamp Set: Pedaling Past</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc00;">Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc00;">Ink: Cherry Cobbler</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc00;">Other: Scallop Trim border & Scallop Oval punch, 1/8" Marina Mist taffeta ribbon, Dimensionals</span><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490618637446347122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/TDKYj2og-XI/AAAAAAAAAxM/Blip43W4AoM/s320/005_wm.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div></div><span style="color:#33ccff;">Stamp Set: Sweet Scoops</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Ink: Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Regal Rose</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Other: 1/8" Marina Mist & Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon, Circle punches, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch</span><br /><br /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/SmQI0q6p4DI/AAAAAAAAAkU/ukLogXCTJ4c/s320/mitchellsiggy.jpg" />Sharlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00201399364050534759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745564846861801500.post-54142448264341203782010-05-30T21:06:00.000-07:002010-05-30T21:23:33.185-07:00For my BFFWhen I saw this motorcycle stamp in the new summer mini catalog, I knew I had to have it. My BFF loves to ride! She has a couple of buddies that will take her riding, and she just has a blast. So anyhoo, this card is for her.

I thought I'd share this month's club project. I've been wanting to try out the chalkboard vinyl, so here it is. I found sheets of metal flashing (12"x 8") at the local hardware store, bent them about 3" in to create an easel. It bends pretty easily, just be careful with the edges because they are sharp :o) Then, we covered them with DSP, used the Big Shot and Scallop circle die to cut out the vinyl, and decorated magnets using an assortment of punchs and brads to make flowers. I loved how these turned out, and plan to make more. Enjoy!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472793318259470722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S_NEht_8sYI/AAAAAAAAAwk/eqATu2GYMkk/s320/001_wm.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472793326395745346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S_NEiMTyZEI/AAAAAAAAAws/y5NRSJlUNaI/s320/007_wm.JPG" border="0" /> <div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/SmQI0q6p4DI/AAAAAAAAAkU/ukLogXCTJ4c/s320/mitchellsiggy.jpg" /></div>Sharlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00201399364050534759noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745564846861801500.post-13949649458951132352010-04-25T19:34:00.000-07:002010-04-25T20:46:17.004-07:00Fabric Project Swap<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S9UDqFta-nI/AAAAAAAAAwc/NfgjcgjI3vg/s1600/100_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464277744506042994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S9UDqFta-nI/AAAAAAAAAwc/NfgjcgjI3vg/s320/100_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S9UDpmd3sPI/AAAAAAAAAwU/Wxyj6z5zfa8/s1600/099_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464277736119316722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S9UDpmd3sPI/AAAAAAAAAwU/Wxyj6z5zfa8/s320/099_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a>I thought I'd share with you a project I did for a swap I just participated in. We had to make something using the Big Shot and fabric. I've seen so many cool fabric projects alot of you have done, so I thought I'd give it a shot.<br /><br /><div>My project was napkin rings, using the Bigz XL Flower Folds die. Here's a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vA7pxsn84E">link</a> to a video by the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vA7pxsn84E">Stamp Shack Lady </a>I came across on assembling the flowers. It just required a little bit of sewing, not difficult at all. Then, I used SU! corduroy buttons and beads from the Pretties Kit to accessorize the flowers. The ring I made using wire and beads (from a craft store) and stitched it to the flower. I thought these would be so cute for a lady's tea party or luncheon.<br /></div><div>Have a good week!<br /></div><div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/SmQI0q6p4DI/AAAAAAAAAkU/ukLogXCTJ4c/s320/mitchellsiggy.jpg" /></div></div>Sharlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00201399364050534759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745564846861801500.post-52969178517093154402010-04-15T18:07:00.000-07:002010-04-15T18:45:28.187-07:00SU! Color Changes<div align="center">I'm sure you've all heard of the news Stampin'Up! came out with introducing some color changes. I was totally shocked at first, but am really liking the new colors.

So here are the 5 new colors and 10 returning In-Colors they're bringing back.</div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460538081873367826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 245px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S8e6dEyOExI/AAAAAAAAAwM/aDUfJLn4Wwc/s320/New_Colors_US_0310.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#3333ff;"><a href="http://204.228.150.61/color_revamp2010/USENG/New_Colors_US_0310.pdf">Click here to print a copy of the chart</a></span></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#cc0000;">5 new colors</span> on the chart above are:Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso</p><p align="center"><span style="color:#00cccc;">10 returning IN COLORS</span> on the chart above are:Baja Breeze (YAY), Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry, Riding Hood Red (Love it!), River Rock (WooHoo), Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango and Wild Wasabi</p><p align="center">So......what do you think??</p><p align="center">Now, since they're bringing in new colors, I'm afraid some must go.

Too many things going on so instead of boring you with details I'll share with you what we did at this months Stamp club. The girls wanted to do some all occasion cards and use the bleach technique as well. So here you have it.<br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450895188092074354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S6V4SyIdOXI/AAAAAAAAAwE/23xnByTKHkE/s320/009_wm.JPG" border="0" />I've loved all the fish cards out there using the Delightful Decorations set and punch. So many of them had purchased this set I thought this was perfect to share this idea with them. It was a big hit too :o)<br /><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450895180107716034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S6V4SUY1lcI/AAAAAAAAAv8/WL8TdBQKUyQ/s320/008_wm.JPG" border="0" />Here's the card using the Bleach Technique. This is so simple and I love how the affect on the card stock.<br /><div> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450895168189925794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 290px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S6V4Rn_aiaI/AAAAAAAAAv0/lqdppOohF5Y/s320/006_wm.JPG" border="0" />Another WOW I had to share with them. Using the flashing with the Big Shot to create this butterfly. Using the embossing folders work so easily with the flashing too, and looks so cool.<br /><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450895153515332354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S6V4QxUuAwI/AAAAAAAAAvs/0sYE3mnL3QQ/s320/005_wm.JPG" border="0" />This card I cased from another SU! demonstrator. I loved it. The only thing I added was embossing the background. It's just so simple and clean.<br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450895145744546418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S6V4QUYBOnI/AAAAAAAAAvk/63suUt6J8xc/s320/004_wm.JPG" border="0" />Another simple card, using circle punches to create a simple flower and accessorize it with a corduroy brad.

I can see several of these all lined up on a mantle, a shelf, or on a dinner table. But they're even perfect just all by itself. I saw this great project from <em><span style="color:#009900;">France</span></em> on her blog <span style="color:#009900;"><em>Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie,</em> </span><span style="color:#000000;">click <a href="http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2010/02/candel-holder-with-big-shot.html">here </a>to view her blog and video. This project is so simple, all you need is The Big Shot, Bigz XL Flower Folds, and Flashing from your local hardware store. Also, they're fine as is or dress them up with some accessories.

So I went with a fancy shopping bag and bag charm. I figure the stores and boutiques Cher shops at probably has some fancier bags. This plaid paper really reminds me of Burberry :o). <br /><br />I have to say as I re-watched the movie yesterday that it made me a little sad. I was always a big fan of Brittany Murphy, so sad she passed at such a young age.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S3nInIp97wI/AAAAAAAAAu0/Ok-srhJuLQo/s1600-h/001_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598599690546946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S3nInIp97wI/AAAAAAAAAu0/Ok-srhJuLQo/s320/001_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S3nImoQkOeI/AAAAAAAAAus/fyDT5vdaook/s1600-h/002_wm.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598590994069986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 294px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S3nImoQkOeI/AAAAAAAAAus/fyDT5vdaook/s320/002_wm.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here's what the charms say, 4 You, love, friends, a heart and crown.</div><div>All SU!

Whenever I'm watching it on TV, my husband says, "not again!". I, like Nancy, am fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm happy to say that this past year it has not rained 9 months straight....atleast not yet, LOL! </div><div> </div><div>So, I had to go with the Empire State Building scene when Annie was dining with poor Walter and the heart lit up on the building. "It's a sign" said Annie. I thought this background stamp fit the movie pretty well, expressions from the past with his wife, son, and the future with Annie. </div><div> </div><div>Well, sorry to make this short. I must get my sleep for the trek into Seattle to work tomorrow morning. Good night!<br /></div><div><span style="color:#333399;">All SU!

So much so that we named our two black labs after Jack and Rose :o) But anyway, there's so many memorable quotes and scenes in this movie I had a hard time making up my mind on a design for my card. For some reason I kept going back to the end of the movie when Rose pulled out the necklace, never revealing it to anyone though. I think not only was it the memories she had of Jack but the necklace...The Heart of the Ocean...which she kept hidden for all those years along with her secrets. Then, I especially love how they're reunited in the end. Yes! I too was bummed when Jack died, but she's with him forever now! sigh....It is quite the love story!<br /><br />My card is very simple, but I hope you understand the meaning behind it. Thanks!<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433872133507216802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 288px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S2j96mCXdaI/AAAAAAAAAt8/ghRon5hVRso/s320/003_wm.JPG" border="0" /><span style="color:#3366ff;">All SU!

I cased it from my upline, <a href="http://craftingmyworld.blogspot.com/">Nancy</a>, (check out her blog) and just made a couple changes. The design of this card gave the stampers a chance to try out several of the new products. They used the new repositionable stamps on clear blocks, the new small heart punch & pinking hearts border punch, and the scalloped heart embosslits die, LOVE IT! I have to say, I'm lovin these new repositionable stamps, they're just alot more versatile, and the blocks are way too cool! Plus just think of all the space you'll free up too :o).<br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429045481142899122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 248px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1gBnBX7rEg/S1fYGcz2UbI/AAAAAAAAAts/rV2r_d0N9nc/s320/004_wm.JPG" border="0" /> </p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;">All SU!

Isn't it too cute! I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but I stamped him with Chocolate chip ink on Close to Cocoa cardstock, cut the bunny out and stamped it with Versa Mark, then used clear embossing powder.
