SSInk - Case the DT - Diana Eichfeld

Hello everyone!  Today over at SSInkspiration it is Case the Design Team member day.  Today we are all casing the fabulous Diana Eichfeld.  Diana is a contracts manager in Bristow, Virginia who is also a very talented demonstrator.  She is an avid runner, and recently completed the Prince William Half Marathon.  Diana is also a big Disney fan, and being a fan myself, I decided to CASE a Disney themed birthday card that she made.

Here is Diana's card:

Here is my card:

I changed up the colors a little bit, but kept the overall design.  I love this card!  My card started, like Diana's with a Pool Party card base.  Then I have an Real Red layer ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"), that was embossed with the Sparkle embossing folder.  My Minnie Mouse head was made using the Layering Circle Framelits, and Basic Black cardstock.  I added a bow with the Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.  Like Diana, I also used a partial Lots of Labels framelits for my greeting.  But, I did not have the exact greeting that she used, so mine came from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

That is all I have to share for today.  Please be sure to head on over to the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog to see how the rest of the design team has CASE-d Diana.

Thanks for stopping by!

Alaska Blog Hop - Occasions Catalog

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Stampin' My Way to Alaska Blog Hop!  I am stop #8 on the hop.  You should have just come from Karina's blog.  She always has something great to share!  

For this blog hop today, we are sharing our "Must Have" item from the Occasions Catalog.  For me, the first item on my list was the Carousel Birthday stamp set.  I love the whole product suite.  I am actually having a class this weekend featuring this stamp set.  

Here is my card:

I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time last night, with my daughter, and it struck me.  I think I love this stamp set so much because it reminds me of Mary Poppins.  :)  I love this fun stamp set, and have already made many cards with it.  

Next up on the hop, at stop #9 is my pal Nicole Flournoy.  I'm sure she has something great in store for you!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wrap all the things!

Hello everyone!  I am so excited for Christmas.  I can not wait to see the looks on my family's face when they open their gifts.  That is always the best part for me.  

Today, over on Stylin' Stampin' Inkpiration we are sharing gift packaging ideas.  I regularly forget about the packaging, until the last minute - and then I truly appreciate having supplies on hand for making my own gift packaging.

Today, I have made a gift bag, using the Gift Bag Punch Board.

Here is my bag:

I started with a 10" x 12" piece of specialty designer series paper from the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper pack, shown on page 37 of the Holiday Catalog.  This item is retiring, and only available while supplies lasts - and until it runs out, it is on sale for $10.40.

I used a sponge, and Rich Razzleberry ink to color my dsp.  I then used the Large setting on my Gift Bag Punch Board to score, and notch my bag.  I forgot to make my holes at the top, until my bag was together, so I made mine with a handheld circle punch.

That is all I have for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Santa Tag

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm excited to share with you a tag that I made with the Santa image from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.  

I love making fancy tags.  I always have plans to use beautiful tags on my gifts.  But, then I'm wrapping everything last minute - and usually use no tags.  My family has adopted the tradition of each person getting their own wrapping paper so then no tags are needed.  

On this little Santa, I used my Wink of Stella pen everywhere there is fur on a Santa suit.

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by!
