These are some of the handmade tags that I am bringing to Bishops Boutique Fund Raiser at Bishop England School on the 5th of December.  Some I made with retired product but a great way to use up scraps.

01. May 2013 · Comments Off on Bloomin Bouquet Kit available · Categories: Uncategorized

Mother’s Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There’s no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren’t enough, the kit contains a “baker’s dozen”! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn’t normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you’d like to give a little “thank you” to-and introduce them to Stampin’ Up!

Ordering information:

Item 134542 $12.95

Available starting April 29, while supplies last.

  • 2 sheets of preprinted and precut flowers on 12″ X 12″ cardstock; makes 13 flowers using Pool Party, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Rich Razzleberry
  • 13 Vintage Faceted Buttons
  • 13 green floral wire stems

Training Tips:

  • This kit makes a great gift, both assembled and unassembled. Your customers may want to give it as a fun do-at-home project, or create it themselves to give.
  • This kit can appeal to both stampers and non-stampers; the ease of assembly means anyone can do it!
  • Use this kit for a quick and easy class! Just provide some adhesive, and your class preparation is done for you.
  • Add your own finishing touch to the bouquet: place it in a vase, wrap it up in tissue paper, decorative ribbon, or twine.

We are excited to introduce our new wood-mount stamp set packaging! These new cases are similar to our clear-mount boxes and fit perfectly on the shelf right next to them. They also have the images and stamp set name on the spine to make your search for the right set even easier.

09. March 2013 · Comments Off on Great Masculine card! · Categories: Cards, Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , ,

This card was made with the canvas shown in our spring catalog on page 21.  I love stamping on canvas……however, what I probably won’t try to do again on canvas, is water color the image….talk about labor intensive…..I wasn’t going to post this, but then again I spent so much time on it that I needed to post it, just to get some satisfaction for my time. LOL
If you will note that I stamped the image with black stazon because I wanted to water color it.  But I stamped the sentiment in basic gray classic ink using a marker and was really surprised in how clear the sentiment came out.  In addition, I love these new buttons, on page 20, because you can use the thicker ribbon with them.

Of course you know everything used on this card is either from the Spring mini or SAB.  The gorgeous flowers come in the Artisan Embellishment kit found on page 10 of the Spring catalog.  You can make tons of cards from this little kit just by adding the card stock.  You don’t even need a stamp if you want to use the LOVE in it. LOL

Such a buy for $9.95.

My sister’s birthday is today and she has subscribed to this blog so I thought I would surprise her and give her a hey…..just in case I forget to send out her card!  OOPS!  I just realized that this is a sympathy card….oh well Judy, I guess the older we get the less happy we feel about birthdays.LOL
I tried embossing in white on the very vanilla background to give it a little contrast.  Hope you like it.
We will be traveling back to SC soon so in case I haven’t had a chance to update my blog, please hang in there and check back with me.

You get 2 postings today, just like yesterday and a little surprise that I just discovered with these new stamps.  AWESOME!

I watercolored this image as I did the one I recently posted, but I changed the format of how I assembled the card, and used the Big Shot for almost all of the design elements.

02. March 2013 · Comments Off on Spending some time with the Red Sox! · Categories: Uncategorized

Well, Jack and I are on the Golf coast just outside Fort Myers for a little R&R.  My husband has been a Red Sox fan since he was old enough to walk and play baseball so we try to go to Spring Training as often as we can to see them play.  I must admit, I love base ball too!  Since Fort Myers in Florida is a lot closer that Boston, we try to see them play down here.
We will stop off in Orlando for one night so we can go to Sea World.  When we were there last month for Leadership, we didn’t get a chance to see much so hopefully, we can see a little more of that while we are down that way, and it breaks up the drive.  It is possible that we may stop on the way back also.
I pre-posted before I left so I hope that the projects I designed show up on the days that I am gone.   Have a great Weekend!  Hugs, Patti

This is so cool.  It is a die that you use in your BS to create this pop up stand up card.  The first picture of course is the front of the card and the second picture is when you open it up it reveals the cutest dress form.  You can get the framelits dies and the “All Dressed Up” stamp set for 20% off.

The card base can be used with other magnetic dies and is separate, as is the dress form Pop ‘n Cuts.  Contact me if you want to see how this is done.

Okay, I guess he isn’t so little but he is so stinkin’ cute!  “Henry Says” is on page 15 of the Spring catalog and you can even use this for Christmas, Valentine’s Day and PARTY! So versatile!

I actually bought this stamp set “You Rule!” to use on a 3D project that I was making for the Artisan Design Team.  However, after I bought it and used it how I wanted to in my project, I changed my mind and went with something else.  That ever happen to you?  You have something in your mind that you want to make and when you put it together, it’s a bust!  Oh well, it didn’t go unused, I like the way it goes with this set “Clockworks”.

I was not going to buy this stamp……no will power!  After I saw all the wonderful things they were doing on the net I just had to have it and try myself.  This is a technique call Thumping that a demonstrator, Glenda Calkins showed on Stampin’Connection.  I love the way it came out!

I thought that the  DSP, ‘For the Birds’, really lent itself to Easter, with the colors and little chicks and eggs.  What do you think?

WOW! Try saying that time 3 times fast!  I made this card using the Canvas that is on page 21 of the Spring catalog.  I used the watercolor crayons and an aqua painter to blend the background. This technique was demonstrated on Stampin’ Connection by Glenda Calkins, another SU demonstrator.  I then frayed all four edges of the canvas adding another dimension.

On this card I used the Delicate Details Lace Tape.  It is so cool and fun to play with.  I separated the sentiment and put it on a banner.  This background paper is also from the Spring catalog and you get 48 double sided 4 1/2″x 6 1/2″ sheets of DSP, 4 each of 12 different designs.  Incredible buy!

Patterned Occasions stamp set is so versatile that I thought for the next few days I would spotlight this stamp set so you can see how many different cards you can make with it.  Remember after March 22nd it is gone for good!

I think I told y’all how much I love this set and the DSP.  It is a shame that after April it will be gone.  Get the bundle, stampset, DSP & calyso Coral bakers twine, and save 20%.
