Inspired by Nature Sideways

If any of you were to my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website a few months ago, you already saw the card in the front. Well, I liked it so much I decided to see what it looked like turned on its' side. I like the landscape version that Stampin' Up! designed more, but it was fun to try!

Both cards are done with Kiwi Kiss Textured Card Stock. Urban Garden Designer Series Paper was embossed with white embossing powder using the Inspired by Nature flower. A torn strip of Pacific Point with a tiny strip of Baja Breeze was layered on top of the background paper. The verse was stamped in Pacific Point on a small piece of Whisper White, the two right corners were rounded, then a piece of 5/8" grosgrain ribbon was attached to the left side of the verse with a Filigree brad.

Happy Stamping!

Blue-Eyed Blonde Spread

This was a really fun page to make, with all the funky color and lots of texture. I love these fun photos of my daughter so much, I had to try to make a page as fun to go with them!

I used Basic Black for the base and then layered a 3 1/4" by 11" piece of Kraft along the bottom. I pierced the top and bottom edges of the Kraft. Then I layered circles cut with the Sizzix Circles #2 and Clear Circle out of Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Urban Oasis Designer Series Papers. The circles cut from card stock I then texturized with the Stampin' Up! Textuz Plates for the Big Shot. I cut the title with the Go Go Boots Alphabet using Black card stock, added a black embossed "December" from the Full Calendar set and '08 with the Go Go Boots Alphabet. I added three pieces from the SoHo Hardware to finish it.

Oh, the journaling I did on the computer and ran the Kraft card stock through. That is my favorite way to journal - ya got a spell checker, ya can reformat, and no screw-ups! Sorry to the Purists who like the handwritting sample... it's just not for me whenever I can avoid it!

BTW, this is the spread my new scrapbook club will be doing tonight. I have a second session Monday morning at 10AM and have room for guests then. If you are interested, please email me at 1morestamp@gmail.com for more information.

Happy Scrapping!

Riordan's Baby Card

Here's a baby card I made a few months ago and didn't post... didn't want it on the blog before the receipent got it... but he's probably crawling and talking by now! LOL!

I wanted to personalize the card, and was going to put his name "Riordan" on the card, but only had the Serif Essentials dies at the time. I ended up using only his initials and still had to make it a long card. I used the stars and verse from Nursery Necessities. Stars are stamped on So Saffron with So Saffron ink. The verse is embossed with white on the Bashful Blue background paper. The dry embossing is the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder on Whisper White card stock, run through my Big Shot. Single star is a Stampin' Up! chipboard star covered in So Saffron. Some paper piercing and blue gingham ribbon finish it off.

Happy Stamping!

A Happy Heart with Barely Banana

Okay, last of the last minute Valentine's! This one uses A Happy Heart also, can you tell that is my only Valentine's set right now???

I wanted to try out my Stampin' Up! exclusive Texturz Plates, so this is the first of my finished products. I used the large Polka-dots with Barely Banana card stock, and smooshed dots on the right 3/4 of the card. Then I layered textured Bashful Blue card stock and a small strip of Pixie Pink on top. I stamped both hearts in Pixie Pink on Whisper White card stock and cut/punched them out, and attached both with dimensionals. I added a bit of ribbon and paper piercing to finish it off. That's it! Pretty quick!

A Happy Heart Clear Pillow Box

Sorry, I'm a little late posting this... time just flys by me anymore! Anyway, if you are looking for a last minute Valentine's idea, I'm posting two today...

This is the second of the two projects we did in my last stamp club. The pillow box is cut with the Sizzix Bigz die (Stampin' Up! Item #113466) from clear report covers that my buddie Marie gave me. Thanks Marie!!!

I stamped "I ♥ U" with white Staz-on at the lower right-hand corner of the box. Then I punched a 1 3/4" circle from white textured card stock, stamped the heart from A Happy Heart in Pixie Pink on Whisper White, and stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" from the set in black on Whisper White. I cut the heart out inside the edge to make it a bit smaller, punched the verse with the Word Window punch, and assembled it all with Stampin' Dimensionals. Oh, I forgot... I put a little glitter on a few spots on the heart before assembling - just to give it a little bling! I tied the Black Gingham ribbon around the box and mounted the heart over top with two dimensionals. Oh!!! Don't forget to put the Good 'n Plenties in first!

Happy Valentine's Day!

A Happy Glittered Heart

This is the first of two projects my stamp club made last night. It's just a simple Valentine that isn't too frilly to give to your guy. And, I promise, this is the last of the Kraft card stock for Valentine's Day this year!

I stamped the Tic-Tac-Toe in Versamark and embossed with black EP on about a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" square of Kraft. I also covered a small chipboard heart with the two-way glue, including the edges and applied some red ultra-fine glitter to it. I layered the Tic-Tac-Toe to a Basic Black square and attached that to a 4 1/4" square Kraft card. After the glittered Heart dried I attached it as shown with glue dots. A little bit of black gingham through a hole in the lower right-hand corner adds a bit more detail too. Oh my gosh! No dimensionals on this entire card! Wow!

A Valentine Treat container coming next! Don't forget that it is Sell-a-bration, and you can get a free catalog by ordering on-line from my website, too: www.1morestamp.stampinup.net.

Happy Stamping!
