Christmas tag with Hostesses!

Good Friday Morning! Have you had a WONDERFUL week? I surely hope so! There's been lots flying around here, I assure you! :D

This is a fun tag we made last Friday night. It's a brand-new stamp set, called STYLIN' SNOWFOLK. It's SO much fun to use! :) (The "Merry Christmas" is from TEENY TINY WISHES. I'm telling you, if you haven't gotten that stamp set you, you really should!!!! SO versatile!!)

Colors are Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Early Espresso, and Gumball Green. It's one of the tags from the Two Tags Die. And the snow? Allllllll covered in Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I LOVE THAT STUFF! And this uses the Big Shot, too, and we all know....
I ♥ My Big Shot!
:D
Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Be sure and take the time to STAMP something!

Surprise! I'm here EARLY! :D

I'm setting this up so you can be pleasantly surprised when you drop by - first last evening, now this morning! :D

Here's another birthday card quick card class share - and don't forget to enter the FOURTH ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CARD CONTEST!


Saying a sad "so long!" to Only Orange and YoYo Yellow, I wanted to do a simple card - with GLITTER! :D

The little highlight on the cherry is done with Rose Red. The white frosting is GLITTER. :)

It's such a CHEERY card - wouldn't YOU like to get this in the mail? :D

OK, I'm off - I'm having lunch with another SU! demo, a dear friend of mine - the one I went to Chattanooga with last year! Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something! :D Like a birthday card for the contest.... :D

Is it really Thursday already?

Wow. The week is FLYING by. I'm so glad you stopped by - think about leaving me a comment, would you? I feel like I'm talking to air again. :D

OK! Today's sample is from last month's Christmas Card Class Trio!


Card stock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Melon Mambo

Ink: Bashful Blue

Stamp set: Christmas Punch, Many Merry Messages (inside)

Accessories: Big Shot (:D You know what to say; say it with me: I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!), snowflake die, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter, ticket corner punch, dimensionals, silver elastic cord, packing tape

This is really sparkly in real life, VERY pretty! I think the consensus was that you'd have to REALLY like the person to give them this card, however, because of making the glitter window. :D

OK, I'm off! I hope you're having a wonderful week - and making SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!

It's WEDNESDAY!!!!

Woo, hoo! I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a VACATION! Phew....

Last night, we had a great time stamping some new projects! I'll show you the two cards today!

SUPER simple, both of them!!!! REMEMBER: if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask!!!!!!!!!!!!

Card stocks: Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black

Inks: Real Red, Basic Black

Stamp set: Fifth Avenue Floral

Accessories: Aqua Painters, Dimensionals

That's IT for this beautiful card!!!!

Card stocks: Vellum Cardstock, Pink Passion, Gable Green

Ink: White craft

Stamp set: Sincere Salutations (INSIDE: Hugs & Wishes, Holidays & Wishes)

Accessories: Big Shot, Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die, Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon

Again, HOW SIMPLE!! But I love this impressions die - so classy, so simple to use!

Do you remember the glittered card I posted - CLICK HERE to see the big picture of it - ?!? Everyone is just OOHING and AAAHING over it (although I do know someone who wouldn't want it in her house....:D) There is NOTHING simpler than using this die, and putting Crystal Effects into the depressions, and adding a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter. It's a knock-out!!!

Don't forget!!! FRIDAY AND SATURDAY are the blog tour days!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't want to miss this!!!!!!!

OK, I'm off - lots to do, as usual. :D Have a WONDERFUL day! And take the time to STAMP something, will ya?? :D

Life never goes the way it's supposed to! :)

I was SO going to post yesterday AND today - but our internet went down just as I was starting last night - and was down until just a few minutes ago. I'm SO sorry!! SO, I'm going to post two different samples right now - so you can take your time looking at them! :)

Here's the first one....

This is from the last Advanced Techniques class; it's cracked glass on the pinecone front medallion. The set is PEACEFUL WISHES - a set I've wanted for SOOOOOOOOO long, but just got thanks to my dear, wonderful friend Amy :D - done on Garden Green. The medallion is stamped in Chocolate Chip, and matted on brushed gold card stock, then Chocolate Chip.

It's a simple, easy technique! We had a great time - always do. :)

The next sample is from the last Scrapbooking class....

Isn't it pretty? We used the Stems & Silhouettes jumbo wheel in Night of Navy on Whisper White, then used either the craft knife (this is done with it) or paper snips, trimmed out a nice border. Then, we used Dazzling Diamonds glitter in the centers of the flowers to give it a little sparkle, and glued the borders onto Bashful Blue. The mat pieces are also Night of Navy. Simple, easy 6x6 pages that have a little razzle-dazzle - doesn't show in the scan!!! - and are useable for just about any subject matter.

OK, gotta jet - it's time to meet Kenn for some lunch. :) This is the last day of the month, ladies!!! Tomorrow starts June - and it's time for the Annual Birthday Challenge - so be watching and planning.... :)

Be SURE to take the time to STAMP something - that humidity outside will get you.... :)
