Shoebox Swap Cont.

Here is another card from our Shoebox Swap.  This was Colleen's card.

I had been wanting to try this technique that I have seen and alot of stampers are doing.  You punch or die cut the design.  Then you take a pencil and trace the design where it is going to be on your card.  In this case, lower right hand side.  Then you put the Jumbo Sticky Rounds (or red sticky tape) that we have for sale in the Holiday Catalog on Page 31 #127852 for $4.95.  Place that sticky tape over the penciled image and apply your ribbon.  Just remember to place the ribbon a little over the penciled image so that the ends do not show through the punch or die cut image.  Place the punched or die image over that and viola you card above!  Love it!

Shoebox Swap Card

Here is another one of the cards we made.  Michelle Burkett came up with this one.  I love this stamp set.  It is Serene Silhouttes.  I have seen so many cards made with it.

Don't Be Shocked!

 

 

Ok, like my title says....Don't be Shocked...I know it has been a looong while since I have posted!  It's not that I am not making cards and projects.  I just do not seem to have the time to keep up with this blog and do everything else.  So, unfortunately my blog has been neglected.  I keep thinking I will post today and then life gets in the way and I don't get it done.  I cannot promise that I will post daily, but I will try to post more frequently.  I can tell you that I will be posting over the next few days and I know that because I am working on it now. But with all my upcoming trips and business that I have to do, I may not be as diligent, but I will try. 

 

I can say that I DO NOT like writing on my blog.  So, I will try to post a few pictures with very little words.  This post is long, but only cuz I have been away for so long. 

 

Ok, so I get together with a group of demonstrators every other week and we do a shoebox swap.  This is one of the cards from this swap.  Lisa Freeman came up with this one.  I will post the others at a later time.  Working on that now.  So hopefully I will have new post for the next few days!!

 

Thanks for hanging in there and checking out my blog!

 

Happy Stamping!

Halloween Card Box & Lollies

I saw this card into a box that Heather Summers made and thought oh I have to CASE it.  So, I did.  Thanks Heather!  I just love this stamp set.  I am NOT a Halloween type person. I don't like to dress up in a costume, I don't really decorate for Halloween, and I really do not usually buy Halloween Stamp Sets, but for some reason THIS year it's different.  I think it was seeing that wonderful Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  Have you seen it?  If not, you have got to look at it.  You can o online and view it at www.stampinup.com.  OMG!!  You are going to want everything in that catalog!!!

Ok, so this is a box that was made from an A2 card (5 1/2 x 4 1/4).  Can you believe that?  I loved it when I saw it and I really just copied her entire card/box. 

 

 

Here is the card already scored and cut to make into a box. Here are the dimensions. First, cut 1/4" off the front side of the card. Then using your simply score tool, place the card just like shown on the scoring tool. Score from the left side at 1/4" 3 1/2, 4 1/4 (that would already be there from the fold of the card), and 7 1/2. Turn your card so the bottom of the card is at the right side of the Simply Score tool and score it at 3/4". Cut the little tab on the left side off and then cut as you see in the picture. Fold it and glue it together and voila you have a box!!

 

 

 

 

These are the lollies I made to put in the box!

Stamp Camp

My downline and I had a Stamp Camp during Covention time. It was a lot of work, but everyone enjoyed it and made it worth all the time and effort of the putting one together.

  Thanks to my wonderful downline for working so hard helping me make this a success!!  Did you notice our T-shirts??  Toni made them for us.  She called SU and they said she could do that as long as the logo was on the shirt.  It is on the cuff of our sleeve.  They were made with MDS.  She is so talented!

This was one of our boards displaying cards that everyone had made.  Some were cased from other great Demonstrators adn some were original ideas. 

Some of the camp attendees waiting for the doors to open!!

Some of the guest eager to start the camp.  They have already sat down to get a head start on their projects!!  Tables in the middle were for extra projects we had for the guest to do when they had some free time.

Another view of our display table.  Each of the demonstrators brought items to share.

I will try and get more pictures up next week.  Having to leave to TX.  Enjoy and Happy Stamping!!

Sorry I have not posted!

Sorry to all my blog readers that I have not posted for quite a while!!  I have had a lot going on.  I was busy around here getting ready for a stamp camp in July and then my mom got sick. 

I went home to Texas to spend some time with her.  The doctors sent her home with hospice care.  I got there on a Sunday and she passed away early Wed morning.  I am glad I got to spend her last few days with her, but it was tough watching her die. 

After the funeral we came back home, but I had alot going on here.  My downline and I were getting ready for a huge camp...which by the way was a complete success!

There has been alot going on with my family and family ALWAYS comes first over stamping and blogging.  

Then just when I thought things would be back to normal and I would be home for awhile,  my daughter had a car accident on Saturday.  Thank God, she is ok.  Minor burns from the air bags deploying and sore from the accident, but she did not get hurt and neither did the other driver.  BUT her car is probably totaled.  The adjusters will let us know in a day or two.  Unfortunately, we live in VA and she lives in TX. So, now we are trying to find a vehicle for her and get it to her.  Looks like another road trip for us.

So, every time I think I will be getting back to my stamping and  blogging, something seems to come up.  I will try posting a few pics for yall.  I hope to have some up soon. 
Thanks for being patient and continuing to visit my blog!!

Another Cascade Card

Made a card for a friend's daughter that had a baby girl.   I made it as a cascade card because I am loving this type of card right now.  I was not thrilled with the color combination, but it matched her decor and invite. 

A view of the card opened a little.  There is a gift card with the last set of owls.  I wish I would have kept the baby shower invite because I just cased it for my card.  Looks just like her owls.

Close up of the owls.
