Last Hostess Club Project! :)

Good Friday Morning!

Are you glad Friday's here? Me, I'm just glad to finally know what day of the week it is! :D Wednesday seemed like Monday - I asked Kenn if he was going to watch Monday Night Football! - and Thursday seemed like Tuesday - and you don't wanna hear the story about that one. :D

So, anyway. :D For almost any party I do, we do two cards and a 3D project. And the sour cream container is one of the easiest EVER.

You can't really tell in this photo, but the ink on the tag is the Illuminate Pad that's in the holiday mini; it's got lots of shimmer in it! But we also used the ink on the vellum with a starburst sort of stamp from DELIGHTFUL DECORATIONS. It adds a subtle bit of BLING - I promise, these look much fancier in real life. :D

I'm going to warn you: I don't know what this blog will look like for the next month or so. I'm going to attempt to continue dutifully, but people! it's almost open house! Do you know what kind of days I'm having?!?!? :D And the day after open house, I fly away for two weeks. And for those two weeks, you MAY get pictures of my niece! :D

OK, I'm outta here. Have a WONDERFUL weekend - and take the time to STAMP something! Are you done with your Christmas cards???? :D

How are you doing??

It's a cloudy day here, but a perfect day to continue getting ready for the Christmas Open House! If you haven't gotten details, and want to come, email me at Poohisstampin@aol.com! Or leave a comment and LMK you want info! :)

Anyway. :D We FINALLY get down to the card that started the colorblock craze for me. :D


Isn't it pretty??? I really fell in love with this one. :)

Card stock: Elegant Eggplant, Baroque Burgundy, Perfect Plum, Wistful Wisteria, Whisper White

Ink: Whisper White craft ink

Stamp sets: Many Merry Messages, Delightful Decorations

Accessories: Corner rounder punch, ornament punch, white embossing powder, heat tool, dimensionals, SNAIL

Ta da! Isn't that easy??? I really love the color combination, and the cleanness of the layout. So fun to do, too! :)

OK, I'm outta here. Miles to go, every day. :D Have a WONDERFUL day, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

December is here! :D

Only 24 days until Christmas! The excitement's building - I started my Advent calendar this morning. How is it around your house???

Today's share is an easy card, from our last Holiday Quick Card Class!

Card stock: Whisper White, Brilliant Blue

Ink: Brilliant Blue

Stamp sets: Delightful Decorations (only available through the end of the year), Many Merry Messages (Inside)

Accessories: Ornament stamp punch (ONLY available through the end of the year!), silver elastic cord (again, ONLY available through the end of the year), Petals-a-Plenty Texturz folder (yup, you guessed it - ONLY available through the end of the year!), dimensionals

Simple but elegant, I think this was probably the favorite from the class. You could dress it up even more with Dazzling Diamonds glitter, or clear rhinestone brads.

OK, I'm off. It's not started out as the best day, so I'm taking this morning and doing what I want - which MAY include stamping. :D I hope you have a WONDERFUL December 1 - and take the time to stamp something, too!

Fancy Folds II, part 2! :D

Good morning, everyone! I've been SO enjoying hearing from people - and a lot of NEW visitors, YEA! :D - lately. Thank you for leaving comments!!!

One person has asked for directions on making the square challenge card I did; I am planning on doing a video tutorial SOON, I promise! I don't have contact info for you, but keep watching this blog. I've got my laptop fixed, so I can use my Flip again! :) I have one small hurdle to get around, and then I'll do it.

OK! So, you liked the shutter card I showed you yesterday! :) I'm so glad!!!

Today's cards are the other two from the class; the first is a step card, and there are MANY variations on this one. The second is a wiper card. I'm going to show you at three pictures for each card: a flat one, which is the way you can mail it, one of it standing the way it's made to stand, and one of an angled view, so you can see more detail. :)

On with the show! :)

It's definitely time to at least start thinking about your cards! Between making at LEAST a few for the special people in your life and addressing them, you KNOW it always takes more time to do then than you think. :D So, today I'm going to show you the other two cards from Saturday's class!


I just think this is a really fun card! :)

I honestly think this is my favorite of the three. I LOVE holly - I think it's the color combination of it. :D The Soft Holly wheel is also inside, along the top and bottom as a border.
