Here is another...

peek at what is going on in the new catalog. This could truly be my new favorite stamp set. Notice that I used the exact same layout as the one a couple of posts down for stamp club. Its a simple, easy design, so why not use it?!? I cant really get enough of this top note die. It's so versatile and easy, when you can run multiple sheets of paper or cardstock through the Big Shot.




Now do you notice that my ribbon is sorta "wrinkly"? Well let me tell ya something. This is what happens when one tries to dry it with the heat tool...lol. I used the white ribbon and drug it through the new "in color" Crushed Curry. Of course I wanted the instant gratification, so I attempted to dry it. Well, I think it might work, but dont get your heat tool too close to the ribbon or it will curl and almost sorta melt. I like the effect on this card, but I wouldn't want it on everything. Hmm...could something like this be a swap card? I'll have to think about it. In fact, since it's 3:25 a.m. where I live...I believe I'll be thinkin about it while I sleep. Goodnight everybody and thanks for stoppin' by!
Keep Stampin!

Ok, I promised

and I shall deliver! Here it is...a sneek peek of the BRAND NEW Idea Book & Catalog from Stampin' Up! I know, it's just a tease, but you really aren't supposed to see it until July 1, when it goes LIVE!@! Trust me...it is AWESOME! You will definitely want to get your little mitts on this thing ASAP. Contact me if you need one!



Let me show you a little piece of gorgeousness that is new catalog.

Now, if you've ver been to my house, you KNOW that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pheasants. You can imagine my joy when I found this stamp set. Can I get a high pitched WHAAAAAAAAAA here please...lol. And how about those rubons...easy peasy, mac n cheesy. Speaking of cheesy...I better get back on track here. This stamp set is called Autumn Days, and the rubons are Autumn Harvest. I really scored big here since Autumn, or Fall as I prefer, is my favorite season of all. And that reminds me of a story...Here we go. A friend of Anessa's was here and we were discussing how cold it was, and that we didn't like it. I told the girls that dads favorite season was Spring because he likes to see all the green come on. I told them mine was Fall...and I asked Kendra what her favorite was. Her answer........PAPRIKA!! LOL. I almost fell off the couch! Ok, anyhow, this is the new "In color" Soft Suede. I totally see this being a color option for Christmas.



Thanks for stoppin by today. Have a great one!

Keep Stampin'

This is Where

you keep your finest jewelry! I know some of you have seen this before, but here is my creation. It's made with the Match box die and the Big Shot. Honestly...it's VERY simple. I made 3 matchboxes and adhered them together, wrapped them with a strip of designer series paper, and thats it! Oh yeah, there are the drawer pulls...which are rhinestone brads and a button.
Dont ya think it's cute?! I hope ya do, since it's what we're making at Stamp club tonight. At least now you know whether to show up or not...hehe! I made another one of these and wrapped a wide ribbon around and tied it at the top. It was cute too, but there was really no reason to have the bow, so I didn't use it on this one.



Here is a side view of it. Pretty cute huh?



Here is the other project. I love the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set, and it's now going away forever! I'll miss it! I'm just trying to use up some of the current "in colors" so this one is Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red, but I can see this layout in TONS of color combos. I'm gonna miss that Kiwi Kiss ribbon, too...it's TO DIE FOR!!



On another note...if you want anyting from the Last Chance List...you better hurry...Time is running out!

Stay tuned...Tomorrow I'll show you a sneek peek from the new catalog...walla walla walla!

C'ya Later!
Keep Stampin',

First, let me explain

that I was really just trying out the "faux suede" technique with making tape, when this lovely design came to mind. I wanted to make a bikini for my husbands fathers day card. No, I"m not a pervert or anything like that, but lets face it folks...I dont look NOTHIN like this in a bikini! I just thought I'd give him a little eye candy. Hey, it beats lookin on the street...right?!



Now, when you have the card unfolded, it looks like a giant dog bone. I just used masking tape, torn into tiny pieces and covered the area of the bra and the panties. I inked those up real good to make them look sorta camoflaugeish, and stuck them in the appropriate positions on my card.



Notice on the ribbon on the bra line...that is just a piece of double stitched chocolate chip ribbon that I pulled the white stitching from and just kinda frayed it.

I think it's pretty cute...and I think hubby will too. I promise I'll keep it less risque in the future, but this was just too cute not to show.

On a side note, I received a partial order tonight, with the NEW CATALOG! Just wait till you see this glorious piece of publishing! It's HOT!..Sorta like my binkini! (wink).

Have a great evening stampers...Stamp On!

Well Hmmmm...

Hi Stampers,
Yes, I know I'm the worst blogger ever! I could list the many reasons why, such as I've been busy, I've lost my mojo, I've had to change computers and this one isn't working properly...etc, but instead, I'll spare you. :)

Since I've lost my mojo, at least temporarily, I dont have a card to show you. What I do have however, are the new In Colors that will be available when the new catalog debuts on July 1. Actually, because I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and we get special privileges (wink), my catalog is enroute to me as we speak! I cant wait!

I promise, I'm working on this computer issue, and a way to get my pages to display properly, and a way to get my camera installed on this computer and all the things that are NOT working correctly, and I'll show you some more goodness. I promise!

Until then, Enjoy drooling over these gorgeous In Colors, and Happy Stampin'!
