It's A Plan Clip Board

This is what I made for Nadine for her hostess gift for hosting her party this month.  I used the stamp set It's A Plan and stamped To Do List's for her and also underneath are a sheets that I stamped with the flip side of this stamp to plan out your week.  This stamp set will be soon retiring....you only have a few more days to order it.  It will be retiring on June 30th. If you are interested in ordering it, click on the link on the upper right hand corner of my blog and it will take you to my Stampin' Up site and online store.  I can see lots of uses for this set.  I used Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper to make the clip board with and covered my chipboard front and back.  I also covered the office clip with matching paper and tied ribbon into little bows on it.  To finish it off I used the stamp Fresh Cuts to stamp "for you" on a Regal Rose tag, and then attached a felt flower from Sweet Pea.  I used Baroque Motifs to stamp the swirl on the front sheet with Regal Rose ink, and more of the Sweet Pea felt along the bottom of the clip board.  Nadine really liked it.

Hello!  I think this turned out to be such a pretty project.  It uses the stamp set Fresh Cuts, found on page 107 of the big catalog and Fresh Cut Notes, found on p.168.  It is stamped with Rich Razzleberry and a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock is inside the card behind the cut out of the flower.  A rhinestone brad finishes off the center of the flower and you can put the greeting of your choice on the bottom.  The Happy Easter is from the stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes.  It is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and then punched out with the Word Window Punch, and matted with a piece of Rich Razzleberry that has been punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  The envelope has been stamped to match with Rich Razzleberry and another stamp from the Fresh Cuts set.  Pretty!

It sure was a beautiful day today.  I wore two sweatshirts and was comfortable all day.  I did throw my rag quilt over the chair as the chair tends to be cold.  There were lots of vendor's today and lot's of people walking around the grounds.  It was fun to see old faces from last year.  Tammy Renner stopped in for a visit after she got done with work.  It was good to see her!  Stop down and see me.  I would love to have you come and visit!  Hugs!  Elaine

Danna's Party

These are the project's we made at Danna Petersen's stamping party this month. The Popsicle card was made with the stamp set's Tart and Tangy and On Your Birthday. We used the Scalloped Circle, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle punches, and the slot punch. Ink used was Only Orange. Card Stock: Only Orange, Yo Yo Yellow, Whisper White, Gable Green. Hole's were poked around the scallop's with the mat pack and Apricot Appeal ribbon was tied around the popsicle stick and attached in place on the back of the popsicle stick with a glue dot so that it doesn't slip down. The other card was made with the stamp set Circus Circle, stamped in Rich Razzleberry Ink. Other supplies used were the scalloped edge and scalloped circle punches, 3/4" circle punch, round tab punch, "for you" from the stamp set Fresh Cuts and it was stamped in white craft ink, leaves were cut out with the big shot and the card was embossed with a texture plate. Piercing was done with the mat pack and paper piercer. Card stock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry. Dimensionals were used to pop up the 3/4" circle for the flower center's.

I had a very fun, busy day. I spent the day with Sarah in Reedsburg today. I got to see their
remodeling project. They are turning half of there living room into an office. It is going to be really nice when it is all done. They are also working on a dog kennel for Hunter and have the ground ready to pour concrete down. Sarah's flower's are gorgeous! I had planned to take my camera down there today but forgot it on my desk at home. Oh well....next time!
We worked on the wording for her wedding picnic invitations and went uptown to run some errands. We also went in to Lake Delton to Walmart and also stopped at a coffee shop which will be taking my cards on consignment. I am taking them down there tomorrow. So I am very excited about that! And I had my first iced coffee which was very good! I hit a bunch of rummage sales and the thrift shops down there and found some more goodies! I haven't done much of that this summer so it was a nice treat!

Recipe: Fresh Cuts stamp set, Scallop circle and lacy edge punch, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 Circle punches. Blue Bayou card stock and designer paper, whisper white, basic black. Basic black ribbon.

Another busy day in Mayberry! I had lots of phone calls and visitors today. In between things I got more samples made for Beth's party. I am now up to 16. Plus I got my other project for her party made and the pieces all cut. I have them sitting here by the computer all ready to be packaged. One project uses Crazy for Cupcakes and the one that I designed today uses Pretty Amazing which will be retiring...Boo Hoo! I love that stamp set and had so much fun with it today. My friend Carol, also brought me rhubarb today, and I am very much doing the "happy dance"! I love rhubarb. I chopped it up tonight and plan on making rhubarb crisp with it tomorrow. Ummmm...that will be yummy! Today's card is one that I made for a sample last month for Nadine's party. This card uses the stamp set Fresh Cut's which I embossed in black and did some sponging over the top. I also used some of the retired hodge podge hardware. Have a great night and I hope that you are working on your cards for the troops. The first five were dropped off today!

Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper Cards

I usually make up some sample cards with a stamp set that I want to feature a particular month or in this case I decided to feature a Designer Series Paper. I made this batch of cards with a bunch of different stamp sets and accessories to show case the DSP Good Morning Sunshine. It is a fun funky paper, kind of retro with all the owls and birds and 70's colors. I had a lot of fun coming up with these and playing with our new chipboard owls and birds.

Fresh Cuts Note Card

Today was a much better day for me. I felt pretty good when I got up this morning. I ended up going to the Flea Market to put some more stuff in and did a really dumb thing when I was there. I decided to play my cd player in the van and was really enjoying my Rascal Flatts CD. They are my favorite group. Anyways after awhile I got tired out and decided that I'd better go home before I really over did it again. Well....the van would not start because I had run down the battery. After many phone calls, mom came down to the flea market and she talked to some guys that were on the other end of the grounds and a boy was there that lived in the trailer park next to the flea market and he had jumper cables at his house. So mom took him over there to get them and he got me started back up. Yeah! I have learned my lesson and won't try that one again no matter how much I love listening to Rascal Flatts! With all the moving of stuff in and out of the house, my home looks like a tornado has struck it! Oh well, eventually it will look better. Today's card is a sample of the Fresh Cut Note cards that go with the Fresh Cuts stamp set that I made the card with that I showed you yesterday. These come 10 in a package with 10 envelopes and are Whisper White with the die cut flower out of the middle of them. I took my paper piercer and embroider floss and stitched around the flower. I used the stamp set and stamped a little flower and cut that out and attached on the top. Then attached a button with a glue dot after I ran embroider floss through it and knotted it. Inside I attached a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4" piece of designer paper with dimensional s and stamped "for you" from the stamp set on the outside. Boo.

Fresh Cuts

Good Evening. It has kind of been a long day for me as I had to rest most of the day as I have been in pain and too much bending/lifting has caught up with me. But I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day! The good news is that I got caught up with some friends on the phone today and I caught up on some reading. Here is a picture of the other card that we made at Susie's party with the Fresh Cuts stamp set. This set is a sneak peek set of what will be in the new catalog. It is available for purchase this month and then won't be available until the new catalog comes out on August 11th. Susie received this set for FREE on top of her other hostess benefits!!!! And several people ordered this and those lucky people will have lots of fun with it! Do you want one too?!?!?!? You can still order this until the end of the month. Plus when you order the stamp set you can get a set of Fresh Cut Notes for $5.00. I will show you a sample of these tomorrow! Boo
