Happy Valentine's Day with Roger's Daytime

Hi there my Stampin' friends,

I have a different sort of post for you today.  I haven't shared this with you yet, but I am a very lucky demonstrator - for 1 more reason than the obvious!  Let me tell you why...

A few times a year, usually coinciding with a holiday, I do a little Stampin'UP! crafting with the folks at Roger's Barrie on their daily show Daytime!

They are an awesome group of people and it is A LOT of fun!  I get to create some projects that make a display and then I teach the hosts how to make them all the while promoting Stampin'UP!

I was there on Wednesday to work on some Valentine's Day projects.  I took some pictures of my display for the set and my projects and thought I would share them with you.

Here are the pictures. 

This is a picture frame I decorated using the Banner Framelits and the Hearts Frameltis and the fabulous DSP stack from the new All Occasions Catalogue!

 This picture has some decorated Valentine's suckers and a card we made on the show using my new favourite punch - the Scalloped tag punch!  I also used the stamp Love you to the Moon - perfect for the little boys!

 This one is a little hard to see, but it is a gift bag all prettied up usinig some of the awesome Vellum paper from the All Occasions Catalogue, some red glitter paper from the Annual Cataloge (I used a scrap of the negative punch holes from some small glittery hearts).  You can't see it well here, but I stamped some pink and red hearts directly on the bag - I loved how it turned out!

 Do you have any of the muslin bags in your collection?  You will need these!  Perfect for a small teacher gift - filled with candy.  I put the candy in our cellophane bags then inserted them in the muslin bag for a better presentation.  There it is...that Scallped Tag Punch!  Have I told you I LOVE it!

 This is a picture of my whole display. We made the cards and tags live on air just to the left of this shot.  SO much fun!

 Here is a close up of another Muslin bag with a different tag as well as some diffently decorated Valentine's suckers.

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Happy Stampin'

Paper Craft Crew PCCCS 79 Lovely as a Tree

Hi there!  Thank you for stopping by!

I have a card for you today.  I needed some inspiration for a sympathy card - I tend to put extra pressure on myself when I am creating this type of card and lately I have been needing a few of these!

What better way to get some inspiration than to participate in a blog challenge!  So I hopped on over to Paper Craft Crew and I decided to use one of the oldest stampset in the catalog - Lovely as a Tree.  This set is so awesome, I am sure that is why it has been around so long!

Well, here is my card....

I wanted to try a monochromatic look, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very vanilla, one of my favourite colour combos!

Here are the supplies I used..

Big Shot

Banners Framelits

Circles Framelits

Scalloped edge punch

2 1/2 circle punch

Lovely as a Tree Stampset

Western Theme Birthday

Hi there!

I have a birthday card to show you today.  I used one of my favourite birthday sets....Bring On The Cake!  It is a really awesome birthday set because it covers options for both the inside and out!

This Wish Big Stamp with the hand reminded me of a western feel, so I used Crumb Cake Cardstock for my card base.  I added a layer of  Early Espresso and then I tied is all together with some DSP I had left over from the DSP Stack that was in the Holiday catalogue. 

I used my all time FAVOURITE ribbon...the Chevron ribbon in Early Espresso!  Ymmo!  For a little added extra, I punched a small yellow star with my punch from the Merry Mini punches set and popped it up with a dimensional!

Ready to see my card?  Here it is...

Let me know what you think!

Happy Stampin'

Bring on the Cake

Hello my Stampin' friends!

I have a birthday card for you here today.  I wanted to use the some left over paper from one of my DSP packs from the holiday catalogue.  I love it because it doesn't at all say Christmas and it gave me a very different colour combo than I would have thought of - what a great way to get inspired, wouldn't you say?

I also knew that I wanted to use the Bring on the Cake stampset!  If you could only buy one birthday stampset, this is the one I would choose!  It has 13 stamps in it and it has many options for both the outside and inside greeting!  Perfect!

Here is my card.....

I started with a Smoky Slate card base - I LOVE this colour - then a layer of Island Indigo, then Pool Party.  The strip of leftover DSP makes it all match!   This is truly a combination that I wouldn't have come up with on my own but boy, do I love it!

I added some different sized Rhinestones scattered on the top and I added some mini Pearls to the 'fringe' on the cake plate that I stamped in Smokey Slate.  Here is a closer look....

I hope you like my card today, let me know what you think!

Happy Stampin'

Teeny Tiny Wishes Pink Valentine

Hello there!  Thanks for stopping by!

Just a quick post today with a very girly valentine - I just couldn't resist doing something really pink for this one.   I took my color cues from the Designer Series Paper (DSP)...it makes things SO easy!

I started with a basic Whisper White card base and added a layer of Rose Red that matches perfectly to the diamond pattern of the DSP - it is from a retired paper pack.  I cut the white heart using my Heart framelits and used the Full Heart punch to cut the Blushing Bride. 

Here is a picture of my card.....

I dry embossed my Blushing Bride heart with my Adorning Accents embossing folder.  I also used the Word Window punch and the Modern Label punch to frame the Happy Valentine's Day stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes stampset.

And of course a girly card must have some rhinestones!  I just love that they come in different sizes!  I used a larger one on my heart and two smaller ones on either side of my greeting - a perfect way to draw your attention there!

Here is a little closer look at the card. 

Here is the complete list of supplies I used...........

Whisper White Cardstock

Rose Red Cardstock

Blushing Bride Cardstock

Designer Series Paper

White Ribbon

Rhinestones

Adorning Accents Embossing Folder
