Stamp Room Door Decor

This is my welcome each time I enter my craft

room. The vinyl letters at the bottom are taken

from the Stampin' Up! logo they send to you

with your starter kit.

I really love how it turned out. It took me

all of 20 minutes to create it.

The dresses are cut out of the Polka Dot Parade

Designer Series paper using the Dress Up

framelits.

Easy and cute, that's the name of the game!!

Hello There ...

Say hello to the new In Colors! They look

like yummy sherbet!

The names are delicious, too!

From left to right you have (top) Pistachio Pudding,

Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush,

(bottom) Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana.

The sentiment is a new one, too, from the new

annual catalog - releasing June 1 YAY! - and the

stamp set is called Happy Day.

There's your sneak peek for today! :)

Father's Day card using masking technique

How pretty this turned out! The masking

technique really gives it a wow factor!

It looks like you spent lots of time

making it, but only you have to know

you didn't. ;)

Simple instructions: on the Whisper

White card stock, place two long sticky

notes about 2 inches apart. Using a

sponge wedge, sponge about a half inch

in between the placed sticky notes

in a green color. I used Pear Pizzazz.

Sponge the rest of the white space in

between the sticky notes in a blue color.

I used Marina Mist.

Remove the sticky notes and stamp

the Lovely as a Tree stamp in Early Espresso

over the sponged area.

Now you can add the "dad" towards the

bottom and add some pierced lines with

your piercing tool and piercing mat. Voila!

I also added a few leaves on the inside, also

from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

This card is a flat card so it will go easily in

the mail, and it's still stunning and perfect

for the occasion!

Pure Gumption Graduation Picture Frame

Need the perfect graduation gift?

How about a picture frame to hold

the memories of the big day.

This is a wooden frame bought at

a craft store for $1. I painted it with

some black acrylic chalkboard paint.

Once the paint dried, I rubbed my Embossing

Buddy on the frame where the sentiment

was going to be placed, inked the

sentiment with a VersaMark ink pad

and stamped it directly onto the frame.

Then I applied Whisper White dry embossing

Powder and heat embossed the sentiment.

The Embossing Buddy powder then just

gets wiped off with a wet paper towel.

The graduation cap is also heat embossed

in Basic Black. I added a rhinestone to the

top for a little more bling. (You can never

have too much sparkle!)

The scallop circle punch and year numbers

use the Silver Glimmer paper and are adhered

with Tombow glue.

I think you'll see more posts from me

using these little frames. They're so fun

to embellish!

Flower Tri-Fold Gift Card Holder

Here is another tri-fold gift card holder.  These

are so much fun to make!

 

It's the same measurements as the Masculine

Tri-Fold Card I previously published on my blog.

 

 

 

I embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment with

Pool Party embossing powder.

 

On this one I used little magnetic snaps to

keep the card closed.

 

Some of the supplies used on this card are

retiring soon, so get them while you can!!!

Masculine Tri-Fold Gift Card Holder

This tri-fold gift card holder uses just 1/2 of a piece

of card stock!  You get a two-fer!

 

Cut an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock in

half longways so it measures 4 1/4" X 11".

 

Score at 2 1/2" and 6 3/4".  Fold on the score

at 2 1/2" and punch a 2 1/2" circle on the right

side of the card.

 

 

Now when you open it, you have a complete

circle.  

 

Fold at the 6 3/4" score line and you can

embellish that flap with whatever

fits the occasion so it will show through

the punched circle.

 

Also add a little something to tuck the

small flap under so it will stay closed, like

I did with the "Party This Way" arrow.

 



On the inside, add a 1 1/2" piece of card stock

to form a pocket for your gift card and add

a white piece of card stock for you to write on.

Mother's Day Bookmark Card and Chocolate Gift

This little card is multipurpose!  I love that!

It's a card with a bookmark attached to it

that can be removed and used and treasured

each time a book needs a placeholder.  :)

 

 

The matching chocolate gift is the large scallop

circle Bigshot die folded like an envelope.

 

The bookmark is made with the Two Tags

Bigshot die and held onto the card with

little magnetic snaps.

When you use the bookmark (on your favorite Stampin' Up!

catalog of course!) place a couple of pages

in between the magnets and your flower peeks

out at the top.
