Hugs & Kisses for My Valentine

The small heart punch was utilized to create a wreath of Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, and Melon Mambo hearts.  The sentiment is from All Holidays.

Acrylic Christmas Ornaments

We know Christmas is past; however, we wanted you to see these cool ornaments that Kira made with acrylic discs.  She was inspired by acrylic ornaments that we received from our friend and fellow SU! demonstrator, Jason.  Here is one of the ornaments Jason sent

He used the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio program to create the images and then attached it to the back of an acrylic block.  We will definitely be doing these ornaments as a Christmas project this year!  Thanks again Jason for the great idea and inspiration!

Delightful Decorations Card

This card was designed by our grea frien Kevin, and uses the Delightful Decorations and Word Play (Tidings of Comfort & Joy sentiment) sets along with the ornament and dotted scallop ribbon punches.  The ornaments inside are popped up.  A couple of the ornaments are embellished with basic pearls and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.  The colors used were Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.

Kick-It-Up-a-Notch

OK, here is the "kicked-up" version.  This one features Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake instead.  We added some Log Cabin Smooch Spritz to the tree image and some ribbon to the square lattice embossed panel.  Otherwise, still a simple "thank you".  Thank YOU for visiting our blog, we appreciate YOU!

Goblin Greetings

Today we feature a Halloween card designed by our grea frien (inside joke) and fellow demonstrator Kevin Theesen.  He used the spider web embossing folder for the front "panel" (another inside joke, sorry) of the card.  The "Goblin Greetings" sentiment is from the Grateful Greetings set and the bat image is from the Batty For You set.  A huge thanks to Kevin for sharing his creative talent with us (and you)!

The Wicked Cool Stamp Set is Wicked Cool!

We just can't get enough of this great set!  We've incorporated a whole bunch of punches too - bat, scalloped oval, scallop edge, 1/4" handheld, large oval, 1" circle, 1 1/4" circle, and the NEW 2 1/2" circle and the decorative label.  The colors used are Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, and Basic Black.  The ribbon is 1/4" grosgrain in Basic Black.

Wicked Cool and Fun Halloween Card

This card uses the Wicked Cool stamp set and the Wicked Fun Designer Series Paper.  The great design idea came from fellow demonstrator Mary Brady.  The sentiment was punched out with the 1" circle punch, and is layered on multiple shapes: 1 1/4" circle, 1 3/8" circle, curly label, and the modern label.  It's finished off with some 1/4" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.  The hats and stockings are colored in using an Old Olive Stampin Write Marker.

This set of 12x12 pages use Stampin Up Island Oasis Designer Series Paper, which will be gone after August 31st.  It's colorful palette is sure to brighten up any scrapbook, card, or other paper crafting project you may have in mind!

And this memo board is a perfect addition to any kitchen, bedroom, or school locker. In addition to the Island Oasis DSP, it uses the Decor Elements Curly Label chalkboard vinyl!  Stampin Up suggests using chalk pens, which we found at our local craft store.
