Baby Wipe Techniqe

Hello everyone!  I hope this week is being kind to you!  I have a sick hubby at home, so  my week has been full of soup making, and tending to him.  Today I am sharing the second technique we learned at January's Technique Night.  Technique Night is a monthly class I offer, where we learn two new techniques, make two instruction sheets, and 4 cards.  You can see January's other technique here.

January was all about the baby wipes!  For our second technique we did the Baby Wipe technique.  Basically, you are using the baby wipe to create your own, custom, multi-colored ink pad.

Here is our instruction sheet.  I chose to use Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Crisp Cantaloupe for this technique, for a bright, cheery look.  The stamp we used is from the Sale-a-Bration set called Petal Parade.

This was the first card we made with this technique.  We put a sheet of vellum cardstock over the top of our technique sheet, and stamped the Happy Birthday from Another Great Year in Staz-On.  We also used quite a bit of the 3/8" Ruffle Trim.  I love the fun, almost skirt like look it gave to the bottom of the card.  My favorite thing that I learned while designing this card is that our 2-Way Glue Pen is the perfect vellum adhesive.  I went completely around all four edges of the vellum to attach it to the whisper white technique piece, and you can't see it after it dries!

This was our other card for the baby wipe technique.  For this card we used the arrow/feather stamp from the Petal Parade stamp set to make our own background.  The greeting is from Lots of Thanks.  I am in love with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, available only during Sale-a-Bration.  It has such a fun, simple background.

I have included a full supply list to recreate these projects below.  You can shop for these items day or night over on my Stampin' Up! website.That is all I have for you today!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!

Valentine's Day Treat Box

Hello everyone!  How is your day going?  Today I am sharing a little Valentine's Day Treat box I made for my last stamp camp.  This little box was made using the Envelope Punch Board

This little box was simple and easy to do with the envelope punch board.  I just love that tool!  Did you know that not only can you make 66 different sizes of envelopes, but you can also make file folder cards, boxes, bows, and I am sure there are other things!  I have included a full list of supplies needed to recreate this box below.  You can shop for these supplies day or night on my Stampin' Up! webiste.

That is all I have for today.  I hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Wipe Swipe Technique

At my January Technique Night, we learned two new techniques.  I am going to share one of them with you today, and I'll share the other later this week.  Technique Night is a fun monthly class that I offer to my customers.  We learn two techniques, make two 6x6 technique instruction pages, and four cards.  Email me if you would like to attend the next one!

One of the techniques we learned in January was the Baby Wipe Swipe technique.  I did not invent this technique, I only designed the things that we made with it.

This is our 6x6 scrapbook page instruction sheet.  We always have a sample of our technique, and instructions for recreating the technique at home on this page.  Please excuse the grease spot in the upper left corner, I didn't know my cookie was so crumbly.   Oops!!

On technique night, we also make two cards with each technique.  This is our first card.  It features the new You're Lovely stamp set, available exclusively as a Sale-a-Bration item.  The swirls stamped onto the background are from the Creative Elements stamp set.

This is the second card we made with this technique.  I do not use vellum very much - I forgot how much fun it can be!  This set uses the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, along with the Banner Greetings hostess set.

That is all I have for today!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week!

Happy Friday!

Hello everyone!  Happy Friday!!  Who's ready for the weekend?  I know I am!  Well ... I am kind of ready for the weekend.  My sister signed me (and herself) up for a 5k tomorrow morning.  I have only ever done one other, and at that one, I only walked.  She's set on "not finishing last" so - I'm a bit nervous.  LOL  

Today I have two fun cards to show you.  This first one is one I made for one of my bestest friends.  She had to stay overnight at the hospital following a surgery, and I wanted a bright, happy card to cheer her up a bit.

This second card is one that we did in my January Stamp Camp.  It uses the new Follow Your Heart stamp set.  I love that Eiffel Tower, especially with the little heart on it.  This card also shows two of the new punches out right now.  The top of the tag was made with the new Scallop Tag Topper from the Occasions Catalog.  In the upper right corner, we used the new Banner Punch that is available FOR FREE as a Sale-a-Bration item.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  Wish me luck in the 5k!  I'll catch up with you next week.  Thanks for stopping by!

Gifts of Kindness Thank You Card

Hello Everyone!  I hope you are all having a good week!  Today, the my kids and I are taking a break from homeschooling to head into Seattle for the Seahawks Parade!  We are all so excited!  (Which probably means there are more Seahawk cards coming - maybe even a new stamp or two!)

I made this card about two weeks ago for a two different challenge blogs I follow.  Unfortunately, life got busy, and I didn't get around to posting it in time.  But, I love the colors, and the layout of this card.  My favorite thing about this card, is that it has already been sent out in the mail to a friend of mine.  One of my top goals for the year is to send out more cards! 

This is all I have for today, I hope the rest of your week goes well!  Thanks for stopping by!

Go Hawks!!

Hello everyone!  Did any of you watch the big game on sunday?  We did!  Our whole region had been pumped all week, just waiting to watch our Seahawks win the Super Bowl!

Early in the week, full excitement set in and I carved a whole set of Seahawk themed stamps using the new Undefined kit.  I stayed up a little too late doing it, but it was so much fun!  (& much easier than you'd think!)  I used it to make this simple, fun card.

The kit comes with a good sized piece of rubber, a matching sized piece of foam, four wood blocks, two carving tools, and an Island Indigo marker.  For my set, I made of course started with the Seahawks logo.  One of my favorite Seahawks is Richard Sherman - so of course, I needed a  Legion of Boom (LOB) stamp.  I also knew that a 12 would be necessary, as would the #GOHAWKS! hashtag.  To finish up my set, I carved a simple football.  Then - ta da - I had the set I wanted!  

I took the stamp with me to church on Sunday.  I knew my entire 1st/2nd grade Sunday School class were all 12's - and that they would love the stamps.  After getting through our lesson, I stamped each of their hands so they'd be ready for the game.  They were so excited!
