Without You Note Card Holder

Here is another sample from the Minnesota Regionals.  This project was one of many make-n-take's at the event - and just so happened to be my favorite.

This note card holder was a breeze to stamp and assemble.  Below you'll see the three note cards and matching envelopes that fit inside.  Do you want to know how to make the finished product? 

E-Mail Me and I'll be happy to share the instructions with you.

The matching envelopes were lined with paper from the Baja Breeze Patterns designer paper.  What a quick and easy way to complete your project.  I think it makes for a more professional, finished collection.  Would you agree?

Best Wishes & More is the stamp set we received free for attending the regional event.  I have wanted this set for quite some time - and now it's mine!  I have so many fun ideas in my head for these images.

This set is very versatile, offering 5 seasonal images and 4 coordinating sentiments for only $26.95.  Talk about a great deal ... why not use this set to make several cards and stock up for the year?  There is always a season and a reason to send out a bit of hand-made love.

Scrappin' & Stampin'

I'm back from the Stampin' Up! Regional event that was held in Minneapolis, MN.  What a blast and boy do I have some cool ideas to share with you.  So, stay tuned!

This scrapbook page (size 6x6) was one of the make-n-takes at the event.  I altered it a bit as the page was originally designed for a winter theme. 

My son is 5 years old and will be graduating from Pre-K very soon and moving into the big world of Kindergarten.  I thought his cap & gown photo would be a perfect fit for this scrap layout.

Using the Best Wishes & More stamp set (which we got for free at Regionals), I stamped the heart in Whisper White craft ink on a piece of Pacific Point cardstock. 

I then punched it out using the scallop circle punch.  The punched out heart is adhered to a white 2" circle tag (item #103374, $4.25 for 12 tags - six 2" and six 1 1/2" per package).


These tags are going on my next order!  They are so fun to work with!  TIP - use your 1 3/4" circle punch to layer perfectly inside the 2" circle tag.

Did you see the awesome deal I have to offer you?

Adventure, Serenity, & Laughter

Check out these pink ladies! My Mom (far right) and her friends are celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month today in her office.

The note cards and envelopes I am sharing today are what you can find on the inside of yesterday's Kreation.

Check out THIS POST to see the note card portfolio I created.

The portfolio was created out of two  size A2 envelopes and houses these cute note cards.  A step-by-step tutorial  will be provided later (November). 

When I was making this project, I was thinking of my Mom's battle with breast cancer. 

The words from the stamp set "Sweet Serendipity" seemed to be a perfect fit  to describe her journey (see stamp images at end of post).

I feel that my Mom has taken on an Adventure since being diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast cancer 2 years ago, and since been diagnosed with bone cancer. 

There is a sense of Serenity that seemed to follow her Adventure; the up's and down's, and finally a bit of Laughter. 



You may be wondering if your eyes are going buggy when you look at my stamp technique (click each image to enlarge).  However, I created this effect on purpose.  I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp in one color first, then stamped the second image in a different color slightly askew. 

The colors I used are Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, & Kiwi Kiss. 

DON'T MISS OUT on all of the current promotions, you'll find them listed on my left sidebar.

Kreation details - This portfolio is so easy to make!  It is simply two regular size envelopes adhered together with small notecards and envelopes inserted inside.

The photo to the left shows what the portfolio looks like when you open it. 

The photo below and to the right shows the little note cards and matching envies that tuck in nicely on either side.

Please comment if you'd like to see a tutorial for this project.

This FABULOUS portfolio was inspired by Kim over at Kim's Korner.  Although, we have never met in real life, I consider her a very good "virtual" friend. 

We share a love of stamping & Stampin' Up!  Go check her out, she has awesome ideas and encourages you to "Stamp, Scrap & Get Kreative".




COMING SOON:  I will be posting all the wonderful RAK's I have received for my Mom.

Baby Wipe

Did you know that a baby wipe has more than one use? 

Well, I had seen a technique called "baby wipe" for some time now over at Splitcoaststampers.  But this weekend, I finally tried it out at a stamping event.

I came home yesterday after making 12 cards at the event and couldn't wait to try out the new technique. 

Using a baby wipe allows you to make a custom ink pad.  You'll notice in my Kreation above that my leaves from the "Best Wishes & More" stamp set are multicolored.  I achieved this look by using my reinkers and a baby wipe.  It is a super simple technique that packs a WOW effect.

What do you think?

See the instructions for the Baby Wipe Technique here.

Pink Celebration

Let's keep the Pink Party going!!

See this post to find out how you can join in the fun. 

Today I am demonstrating at a Stampin' Up! workshop in my Mom's home.  She is the reason I choose to celebrate the color pink for the entire month of October. 

If you haven't read on my blog already, my Mom is 53 years young and diagnosed with what is now considered Stage IV bone cancer.  The cancer metastasized from her inflammatory breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with only two short years ago.

To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am offering two Pink Party Promotions.

Won't you join in the celebration?  Until October 31, Save 10% on anything Pink.  View the  Pink Party Promo flyer for more details.

During the entire month of October, I am also donating 10% of my personal profits to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

Place your ORDER HERE today. 

Sparkle Set

The Holidays are just around the corner... so I've been trying my hand at different Christmas Cards.  I just got this new Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper (DSP) last night.  Getting something new is always a good excuse to use it right away! 

I told myself I was going to hold off on Christmas cards and projects for at least a few more weeks, BUT I just couldn't resist using this paper.  (Individual photos of these cards can be found in my Kreations Gallery).

The snowflake stamp comes from the set "Best Wishes & More".  It's perfectly modern and simple enough to use to showcase designer paper. 

There are a few upcoming promotions that will help you in your Holiday planning.  So, stay tuned! 

Tomorrow I plan to get back to my pink theme in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

DON'T FORGET:  I am donating 10% of all my sales during the month of October to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. 

SHOP NOW for a great cause!
