HOME

I have been wanting to make these HOME Frames for a loooooong time.  Finally took the plunge and will be selling these at the Uptown Market.  If anyone is interested in a class, comment or contact me and I'll get a class together.


Folks are decorating the O with different elements to represent Seasons, Holidays, the options are endless.  I could not resist using this Cup of Cuteness from the February Paper Pumpkin kit.



I started with a 5X7 Frame.  I chose this subtle pattern from Painted Seasons Designer paper.
I cut the Letters in Basic Black and used the Stamparatus grid paper to line up the Letters.  I popped the Letters up with Dimensionals.  I added a piece of Velcro in the Bottom of the O.  After I colored and Fussy Cut the cup I added the other piece of Velcro and then Added the Cup to get the Cup in the position I wanted.  I can now remove the cup and add other Elements to the O simply by adding Velcro.



I can store the other Elements in a card sleeve.  So far I have not made anything else.  I will be making more.....so stay posted!






Large Letter Framelits  141712  $99.00    I have the Stamps, but find I use the Framelits the most.  Invest during Sale-a-bration earn FREE items!!

Best Catch

I am not a Fan of Fishing.....but making this card was so much fun!  And I am sure Fishing is on the minds of many Folks who LOVE this activity.......maybe ICE Fishing.....as this Weather continues to be frigid.  This is another Bundle that will start flying off the shelves as we get closer to Father's Day.  SO ORDER NOW and EARN a FREE Sala-a-bration item with your purchase!!


I used the ink Drag Technique and have a few lines, but that is the beauty of this Technique....NO 2 cards look alike.  The new Firm Foam ink pads are better for this Technique.  I used an OLD Pool Party, NEW Soft Seafoam and OLD Bermuda Bay.  I Sponged some color to fill in the lighter spots.


The Fisherman image was stamped in Soft Suede using the Stamparatus for a nice solid image.  Sentiment in Momento Black.  Water dots in Bermuda Bay.  Mint Macaron card base, Soft Suede mat.


Stamped a Soft Suede Fish inside and colored with the Wink of Stella Brush and a bit of Bermuda Bay and Pool Party inks.   I kept this card simple....but LOOK at those Framelits.  More Manly cards to come, Stay Tuned!

Painted Seasons


I do not have the Painted Seasons Stamps yet, will be earning those with my next order.  But THIS PAPER!  WOW!  All the Seasons in  1 pack of paper!  Perfect for the Tear and Turn Technique!  I have not used much Call Me Clover and now I am hooked!


Do you see what I mean about this PAPER!!  Grapefruit Grove, Call Me Clover, Petal Pink and Pale Pumpkin Pie and Early Expresso.  AHHHHH......you need this paper in your craft room!!  I started with a Call Me Clover card base.  5 1/4 X 4 Designer paper and TORE it.  I wanted the Flowers to be the focal point, so added the Maze pattern to the top.  If not for this paper I would have NEVER put these colors together.....Stampin' Up's color coordination is on point!


The flowers look so real, can't wait to get my matching stamps with my next order!  I cut a 4 in X 3/4 strip of Whisper White and grabbed a sentiment from Amazing Life.  LOVE this Bundle and it pairs really well with this paper(stay tuned for another card).  The Call Me Clover Filigree from Petals & More is the Pop of Clover with Pearls.

Amazing Birthday

Do you know someone having a Birthday soon?  Make and Send a Card, there is nothing better than opening a card on your Birthday.  I know Face Book has changed how we Celebrate Birthdays.  But WE can change it back!  One Hand Stamped card at a time!


Balmy Blue card base with a Balmy Blue subtle background made by inking a Framelit!!  I then stamped the Sentiment in Momento Black ink and the Flower in Balmy Blue.  I sponged around the edges to distract from my splat in the corner.....I hate when I drop ink pads!


The Hummingbird was stamped in Momento Black, cut out with the Framelit and colored with Blends Markers.  I googled Hummingbird on my phone for a picture.  Popped this Bird over the Flower.  You can see the Background better in this closeup.

Spring is coming.....hopefully SOON! Check out my Calendar for upcoming classes.  Gather your friends and I can bring the party  to YOU!  Contact me for available dates.

I had my first class last night since before Christmas.  This weather has been rough!  It was so much fun, 5 New stampers and they all went home with Birthday Cards.  I hope their loved ones who receive these cards will be thrilled! 

Humming Along Bundle  150621 $42.25




Momento Black ink 132708 $6.00  You need this ink when using Blends Markers
