Kristina's Color Challenge #25




Here's my card for Kristina's challenge. It's pretty much made using the Big Shot with very little stamping. I just got the Build a Flower die and had to try it out, so this is what I created :o). I stamped the background with the grassy stamp from Inspired by Nature. The vase or box for the flowers was made from the Pillow Box die, I just cut the ends off and cut the box in half. I had to swap the Ruby Red with Rose Red, guess it's time for me to re-stock my Ruby Red. Thanks for looking.

All product used by Stampin' UP!:

Stamp Sets: Inspired by Nature, Happy Everything

Paper: So Saffron, Ballet Blue, Rose Red, Certainly Celery

Ink: Rose Red, Versa Mark

Other: Big Shot, Pillow Box die, Build a Flower die, Button Bouquet, Double Stitch Grosgrain Ribbon - Rose Red

Creepy Crawly

Just love Halloween! Here's one I just whipped up using Stampin' UP! Ghostly Greetings DS paper and the Batty for You stamp set. There's so many creations you can come up with using both of these products. I just received the new SU! Eat, Drink & Be Scary set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. So stay tuned for my next Halloween card from this set. :o)

Projects on the Cruise

Hi, here are the projects we did on the cruise:These cards were done on Saturday for World Card Making Day. There were four, but for some reason I can't find one...sorry Jackie!
Cute lunch box. Most all projects were made with SU! Urban Gardens DS paper and SU! Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.
Here's a journal and accordian book we put together. Too cute!


Here we decorated a glass votive by rolling up pieces of SU! Holiday Treasures DS paper. Then used the Big Shot and Basket & Blossoms die to make the Halloween treat baskets out of the SU! Ghostly Greetings DS paper.

If anyone would like the instructions for any of these projects, feel free to email me or leave a comment. Thanks and hope you enjoy looking!

Stamping & Cruising

Well, I just returned from our first stamping & cruising weekend. What a blast!!! There were 4 of us SU! demonstrators and 20 of our customers that joined us on this 3 night cruise from Seattle to Victoria (Canada) to Nanaimo (Canada) then back to Seattle. Each of us 4 demonstrated a card for World Card Making Day, then demonstrated several projects... decorating lunch boxes, journals, glass votives and more which I'll post pictures of later. We definately kept them busy and still had time to enjoy the other activties on and off the ship. We are definately planning to do this again next year. I'm pooped out and will post more tomorrow! But here's a picture of the ship we were on.Sorry the picture is a little small. Would you believe I forgot my camera? Oh well, I have lots of folks emailing me pictures :o)

Frankie Basket


I just LOVE Halloween time! I've seen so many of you creating this Frankenstein card that I thought I'd give it a shot with the Baskets & Blooms Die...so here it is. Fill it with yummy treats and your kids will have a fun party gift for their classmates, or for any Halloween parties you might be having. Next I want to try a mummy or even a pumpkin. :o)
