HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

As we all get ready to spend time with family and give thanks I want to wish all my Stampin' Up! Customers, Family & Friends a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you all enjoy your Holiday and stay safe.

Challenge Card

Tomorrow is the monthly meeting of the SJ Stampers at the Mays Landing Library. This is my creation of the Challenge Card. A very talented Stamper, Josh Blood, demonstrated a flip card and our challenge was to create our own.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Just want to wish all the Veteran's a Happy Veteran's Day. Thank you to all those who have served in the past, currently serving and will serve in the future. You are all my Hero's.

I especially wish my husband Jim, my father Sonny and my brothers Dan and Mike a Happy Veteran's Day!

Stamp-A-Stack Cards

Hi All,

Hope your week is going well. I just wanted to post the cards from my Upline, Jacki Montgomery's, Birthday Card Stamp-A-Stack. I think after the holidays I will schedule a Birthday Card Stamp-A-Stack. We can all use Birthday Cards.

Hope you enjoy these, she did a wonderful job!

Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Another Digital Sample

So I had a hard time finding any images that were for Thanksgiving. I'm guessing they will be in future downloads for the program. Here is a Thanksgiving card I came up with for what I could find. I hope you like it.

My Digital Studio

On Tuesday, November 3rd, I received my copy of the "My Digital Studio" from Stampin' Up! It is really awesome and I have been having so much fun playing with it. I so far have only played with the card making portion. There is a scrapbooking portion, calendar making portion and multimedia portion. I thought I would post a few of the cards I created so far. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Happy November!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. We had 106 Trick or Treaters yesterday. Lots of really cute little kids and awesome costumes. I always enjoy giving out the candy and seeing all the different costumes.

Today is November 1st. The holidays will be upon us before we know it.

Today I spent about 3 hours in my craft room designing and making cards. One for my swap with the SJ Stampers later this month. Also, I created and made the cards for my Stamp Club.

Today I am posting the card I made for my swap with the SJ Stampers.

World Card Making Day

Yesterday, Saturday, October 3, 2009, was World Card Making Day. I attended an event at my Upline's Upline, Gail Murray. We made 2 each of 4 different cards. I had a great time, met some new ladies and wanted to share the great cards Gail had us make.

Gail said these two were inspired by cards that her downline and my friend Jean Delaney did.


These two were done using the new Build-A-Bear Sizzix Dies that are in
the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog.



This one uses 2 stamp sets and Designer Series Paper
from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog.


This one uses flowers and half pearl from the Pretties kit. We
also used some of the new shimmer paint featured in the Holiday
Mini Catalog as well.


Below show a close up of the flowers. The top one we
used a sponge dauber to but on the shimmery paint.


Thank you Gail for a wonderful time! I really enjoyed stamping with you and your customers and fellow demonstrators in celebration of World Card Making Day!

More Spinner Cards

Here are a couple more Spinner Cards I designed. Spinner cards can be make one of two ways. The easiest way is to use the Stampin' Up! Word Window Punch to make the slot for the image to slide in. The other is to use a ruler, pencil, 1/2" Circle Punch and trimmer or scissors to cut the slot. Can you guess which one was made with the Word Windo Punch and which one was done with the ruler, pencil and 1/2" Circle Punch?

If you guessed the second one, with the pinwheel spinner you are correct.

The spinner card works great either way you make it. I believe the key is that you use two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals to layer the top layer.

Thanks for looking!

Gift Tags

This past Monday evening I attended the South Jersey Stampers Club meeting at the Mays Landing Library. We meet one Monday a month. If you like you can make a card with the theme for the month to swap. Then each month one of us takes turns demonstrating a technique or project to the group. This month was Mary Jo. She has been one of my Stampin' Up! customers for several years and is VERY talented. Here are the two Gift Pop-up Gift Tags she showed us how to make. One was made by making a square to pop-up the design, the other was done by making two cuts in the paper at the fold to make the design pop-up. The first one we brought our own card stock, stamps and ink for and designed ourselves. The second one she brought the card stock and had the inside stamped for us and the pop-up design cut out for us. We did the stamping on the outside for ourselves.

Gift Card #1
