Using Birgit's idea

Well I finally had a chance to make something using Birgit's template for the candle/bookmark holder. Take a look!





I used the Newsprint DSP, Punch Potpourri hostess set, lace ribbon and embosslit Beautiful Butterflies. Oh and the black taffeta ribbon that my upline Mandy gave me for no reason. Totally love Mandy! (I love her even if she doesn't give me stuff. ;)

I gave this to my hostess Debbie last night for having a party at her house. We didn't get a big turn out but I really had fun showing what the Big Shot could do to Angela and Francesca.  Here's what I demonstrated:

Before Decor Elements


This is after:


I had the shadow box completed except for the spider DE. I demonstrated putting it on the glass. It was so easy!

We also did this cute box.

Francesca didn't roll her fence real dark so she was able to color in the grass and make wood grain on the posts. Look how the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin have a glow around them. She used a lighter marker around them and then colored in the pumpkin. Way neat!


She added the cat and broom to the side of the box. She caught on quick with all the added details and bling you can add to projects. She was making my sample look pretty sad. :(




This is the completed card and box we made. I used the stamp set Fang-tastic from the Mini Catalog for both projects. It's really a fun set to have for Halloween. I love it!


Debbie came up with a totally cool new use for the black lace ribbon. She cut a piece off and made a spider out of it.  I love it!!!  The legs look so real!

Alabama is kicking @#%!! Roll Tide!!!  (Sorry, the score is just outrageous!)

Oh I get to go out to dinner tonight with my upline Michelle. She moved away 3 years ago and that's why I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. If it wasn't for her leaving I would have continued to be a very good customer instead of joining this fantastic company and growing my business as well as growing my circle of friends. Thanks Michelle and I'm looking forward to seeing you tonight!

Do you want to host a party after seeing all this cool stuff? Email me and we'll set it up.

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap
