A Cute Little Box

March 31, 2009

Good day all,
Only one more day of Sale-a-bration left. Tomorrow starts the new Mini Catalog. There are some great new items coming up.

Isn’t this box cute?
I made it using the WildCard Cartridge from Cricut. I love how it came out.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Wild Card Cricut Cartridge, Pink Pirouette Cardstock, Pink Pirouette Ink Pad, Brown Satin Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Cardstock to use with the scallop circle punch, 1-3/8 and 1-1/4 circle punch. A piece of whisper white cardstock, the Priceless stamp set and the new transparencies that will be in tomorrow’s catalog.

Have a great day!

Easter Basket

March 30, 2009

Good Monday all,
Kind of a blah morning. Not a good way to start the work week.

I used the 2-4-6-8 box method on this Easter Basket.
It’s it cute?

You’ll need the following supplies for today’s projects

Pink Pirouette Cardstock and ink pad. Old Olive Cardstock, Corduroy Button brads, 1-1/4 circle punch, 1-3/8 circle punch, scallop circle punch, sweet stems stamp set, crop-o-dile (or something to punch holes for the brads) and the scallop edge punch.

Don’t forget you only have 2 more days left to place your sale-a-bration orders.

Heres a video on how to assemble today’s project:

Have a great Monday!

Sunday Update-Updated with picture

March 29, 2009

Hi Everyone,
Sorry no picture this morning. Husband went on a hike and took the SLR with him. Wait until he finds out that I left the memory card in my computer. Oops.

Updated. OK got the camera back. Here is a card that I was working on yesterday. used the Coluzzle (no longer available with SU) to make the oval shapes, the ribbon is so saffron from SAB, the designer paper is from the new line of Specialty Paper that is available in the Spring/Summer catalog. Sorry it took so long to update with the picture.

I’m working on a video today and late I will post a picture of an Easter card I made yesterday.
Have a great Sunday.

Pillow Box

March 28, 2009

It’s Saturday. I have so much housework to do it’s crazy.

Yesterday we received very sad news…My husbands Grandmother passed. We called her Great Nana Vital. Love You Great Nana.

Today’s project is the Pillow Box die from Sizzix. I really love SU’s Certainly Celery Designer Paper.
The stamp set is from Yummy and the ribbon is certainly celery. Don’t forget Sale-a-bration ends in a few days. But the new Mini Catalog comes out Wednesday.

Stamping Away

March 27, 2009

It’s Friday…Looking forward to a day of 60 degree weather. I’m working on organizing and finding a system on how to keep my stamps. I find myself reaching for the same sets over and over. While I’m doing this I’ve challenged myself to go shelf by shelf and use something from each stamp set. This should be fun. Who knows what your gonna see here.

Today’s card I used the basic grey cardstock. I wasn’t really sure if I would like this color, but I’m happy with the way it came out.

Today’s card I used the following:
(All supplies (c) Stampin’ Up!)
Rose Red Cardstock
Basic Grey Cardstock
Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper
Rose Red 1in grosgrain ribbon
Branch Out Stamp Set
Ink Colors: Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Sage Shadow, Old Olive, and Perfect Plum

Have a great weekend

Magazine Holder

March 25, 2009

Hi Everyone,
I found the instructions for this cute little magazine holder here. Check it out.

The instruction on YT are wrong. The measurements for the center lines should be 2 3/4 and not 3 1/4. It took me forever to figure this out and ended up finding she was using someones instructions. I went with the 3 1/4 score line and made a few modifications. I really like how it came out.

Have a great Wednesday.

Punches, Punches, Punches

March 24, 2009

I have really started to love punches. I never was into them before, but now I love them. I can’t get enough.

Today’s card is all punches. You can add a sentiment on the bottom of the card or not. Whatever you prefer. I saw this really cute project a few weeks ago and I’m working on it. Hope to have it ready to post tomorrow.

Today’s video I used Baja Breeze cardstock, Walk in the Park designer paper, Baja Breeze Ribbon, Scallop Edge punch, Trio of Flowers punch, and not shown on either the video or the picture I rounded the corners.

Enjoy and sorry if the volume is not loud enough.

Another Matchbox

March 23, 2009

Well it’s Monday again, man does the weekend fly. I really wish it would slow down.

Here’s today’s project using the matchbox die that is coming soon.

I just got Sweet Always designer paper and couldn’t wait to try it out.

I used the matchbox die, Sweet Always DSP, Pink Pirouette Cardstock, Whisper White Satin Ribbon, Regal Rose Ink and Cardstock, Matchbox Messages Stamp set, and a piece of transparency paper for the outside of the box. (note because the transparency paper that I use is to thick I had to do the score lines by hand).

Have a great Monday.
