Stack cards

2008-09-19T12:29:00.000-04:00

Two more cards for my stack on Tuesday! The blue one uses the set Lifes a Breeze, it's the cutest summer set! I need to get that out to make some scrapbook pages too! I just need more TIME. I used Brilliant Blue and Baja Breeze. Those colors go great together! The pink card uses the set Baroque Motifs. Oh my do I love that stamp set! I'm using it all the time. I think I'll even turn it into a Christmas card by using red and green! And of course glitter. My challenge was to use Pink Passion, I NEVER seem to get that color out. I really like it with the black ink. So pink, black and white! I love it. I have one more card to design, I always keep the 5th one a surprise for my customers. You never know what I'll come up with. ;o)

BEAR

WANTED Outlaw scrapbook purse

2008-09-01T21:50:00.001-04:00

I made another purse album, this time I used the RETIRED SU DSP Outlaw. This is one of my ALL time favorite papers, and I've been hoarding it for something "special". I thought these little purse albums would be so cute with it! My friend Kristina has been begging me for my Outlaw stash, sorry but I can't part with it!! OK, I have a problem, I know!!! Anyway.... this is UP for sale on ebay right now. As I was posting these pics I noticed some of the photos are blurry. Geez, that'll hellp make the sale go high! LOL. I actually made 4 of them, I think I'll keep one, sell the rest. Now that I've got some experience with these little babies, I'm going to turn anything that doesn't move into a purse album....;o) Anyway, I hope you like it. It was FUN to make.

COLORS: Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Sage Shadow, Creamy Caramel and Vanilla. TONS of sponging for a "western" feel.

6x6 photo holder scrapbook

2008-08-31T17:30:00.000-04:00

OK, these are ALL out of order. But I think you'll get the idea! It's a photo scrapbook album. I used the Scrappin Kit from Stampin Up Just 4 You. It's retired, but I thought it would make a REALLY cute album! I think I'll whip up one or two to sell on ebay. I'm also having this at one of my classes, we'll of course use current Scrappin Kits! The middle of the album has envelops "glued" together to make a little file folder. Those are filled with the cards to add your photos and journalling. I got this off of Amy Celona's blog. Boy I like to copy! I can't WAIT until the UPS man comes with my new stampin kits. I have so many plans for them!

Notecard Holder with Bella Rose

2008-08-31T17:21:00.001-04:00

This is a note card holder using Bella Rose papers and Dreams De Jour stamp set. I got the tutorial from Dannie's Designs, thanks Dannie! These are SO cute and fun to make. There are 4 stamped envelopes on the left, and 4 stamped full size "notecards". They're 5 1/2 x 4 1/4", the same size as a full size card. Perfect for gift giving! This project will be available at one of my classes, coming soon! I still have to figure out what we're making and when....

Thanks for looking! Drop me a line if you want to make this or any other project. ;o) Long distance is easy too!

Bella Rose Purse Scrapbook

2008-08-30T22:51:00.000-04:00

OK, I found a tutorial for this by Jan Tink, she is SO awesome for posting this for others to make! Her blog is: http://www.stampspaperscissors.typepad.com/ I used Bella Rose DSP by Stampin Up, actually the WHOLE thing is made with Stampin Up supplies, and this will be offered in one of my future classes! So fun to make. Above is the outside and front of the purse. The only stamp I used for the outside was Boho Backgrounds, stamped in Ridinghood Red.

I ended up using a ton of stamp sets, I just picked my favorites from all kinds of different sets: Smarty Pants, One of a kind, Baroque Motifs, Priceless, Dreams DeJour, Totally Tabs. Whew. Most of the stamping was done with Chocolate chip. Cardstock: Old Olive, Pink Pirouette, Ridinghood Red, Chocolate Chip and White. There are 2 pink pull out tags too.

And Lucky, my newest "helper" when I stamp. She came with the new house. ;o)

***excuse the layout of this blog, I have NO idea what I'm doing and can't get the pictures and descriptions to look right. I'm hopeless!

4th of July pages

2008-08-30T09:34:00.001-04:00

Here are 2 pages that I posted on ebay. (My ID is 10inkyfingers) I used the retired SU set Stars and Swirls. I love that set, too bad they retired it! The strip next to My Little Firecracker is Red Duo Beads from Stampin Up adhered with sticky strip. The firecracker title was done with a font on my computer. Fun pages to make!

CARDS!

2008-08-30T09:26:00.001-04:00

Here's some other cards I've made recently. The baby onsie card was SO easy! I just hand cut the arm and the "body" of the card. I punched out holes with 1 3/8" circle. To make the scallops: Punch out a circle on white card stock using 1 3/8" circle. Then use your scallop punch to punch OVER the CUT OUT circle on the white cardstock, it'll make the lace for your onsie! Ok, contact me if you need help, it's not easy to explain! I used Seeing Spots SU stamp set.

Prehistoric pals

2008-08-30T09:12:00.000-04:00

I've been dying to do something with this dino set! We made this card at my stamp a stack. The card base is Black, the grass is Kiwi Kiss, the sky is Baja Breeze. It was a lot of cutting tiny dinosaurs, but I think worth it in the end!

I moved!

2008-08-30T09:02:00.000-04:00

Oh my goodness, we moved on July 3rd, and it took us almost 2 months to get a PHONE and internet hook up. Talk about some serious withdrawls. I'm going to get some stuff posted on here, it's been forever! The box is one that I copied off SPS, we made them at my openhouse last Friday, it went over great everyone loved it! And its SO easy to make. It's called the 3x3 box and holds 3x3 notecards. How cute! I'll have to take a photo of my new house, I haven't done that yet! Oh, the paper used is Bella Rose, you HAVE to put in on your wish list! It's amazingly beautiful!!

Disney hand pieced pages

2008-04-07T21:23:00.000-04:00

More pages I have up for sale on ebay. These were all hand paper pieced. No stickers were harmed or used during the production of these pages...haha. I think they turned out cute! They took me HOURS to make, they just might be "one of a kind".

2008-04-07T21:11:00.000-04:00

Splish Splash taking a bath! Heres 2 pages I did and posted for sale on ebay. My ebay ID is 10inkyfingers, and yes they're always inky! I used the sticky letters from Stampin Up to do the glittery bath letters. I think they turned out really cute! So run -- don't walk -- to ebay and bid on these pages. lol. If they're already sold, I'll make you another set!

Here are the classes I have coming up: April 27th, 6x6 scrapbook in day. April 29th: Rub ons class. Includes Eastern Elegance rub-ons AND an entire package of Berry Bliss paper. May 4th: Recipe Book.

MARCH STAMP A STACK

2008-03-15T23:19:00.000-04:00

Here's my cards for March Stamp-A-Stack. Gee, can it be March already?? WOW, time flies. The thanks card used the large tag punch to make tiny envelopes. The lady bug used the small oval out of the designer paper for wings, I used stem saying for the saying. The Cute and Love set have chunky glitter added to them, with curvey verses at the botton. Then I used Garden Whimsy and Pretty Amazing for the other cards (thanks to Kristina for letting me borrow them!). The chick is my "bonus" card this month, my customer can make it for $1.00 extra. I have this kit "to go". Get 10 cards for $10, I'll do all the cutting and stamping, you assemble. Shipping is extra. thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions on the colors used or the stamp sets!! Happy Easter!

tart and tangy frame

2008-03-10T08:49:00.000-04:00

Here's a close up of the Tart and Tangy picture frame. It's two pieces of chipboard tied together at the top. BOTH sides of the frame are decorated. I used the Summer Picnic papers, and One of a Kind and Boho Backgrounds stamp sets. The frame can also be made to sit side by side so you can see both decorated sides from one angle. Does that make sense? Ok, I just had surgery so I might not be making any sense....we'll blame it on that! Happy Stamping, Lara
