July Blog Hop

 

Good morning!  I am so glad you're here!

I hope you're blog hopping today and just

came from Denise's blog.  If not, be sure and

stop by her blog to see her wonderful project!

 

The July Blog Hop theme is

"Around the World." 

Here's my addition to the hop:

 

 

Okay, so how does this card have

anything to do with "Around the World"

you may ask?  This is the card I'll

be swapping at Convention next

week.  Since Stampin' Up! has demonstrators

from all over the world now who will be

in attendance, I hope my swaps make it to

The Netherlands, Austria, France,

Austrailia, Germany, The United Kingdom

New Zealand ... and beyond!

 

Thanks again for stopping by, and please

be sure and visit Jessica's blog next!

Loving the new Washi Tape that Stampin' Up!

has this year and, of course, the hexagon

shaped punch and coordinating stamp set

Welcome Home Birdhouse Candy Holder

This little birdie gets a warm welcome home greeting

every time he returns after a long day of

hunting and gathering for his family.

The Milk Carton Big Shot Die from Stampin' Up! is
the perfect size for making a little birdhouse
candy holder.  One side of the roof is held
shut with a little bit of Sticky Strip tape, but
when used with the Core'dinations card stock,
it becomes repositionable, yet strong enough
to stay closed.

Bloomin' Bouquet

Don't you just love fresh-cut flowers?  Are you

sad when they wither up and you have to

throw them out?  Well, these paper

flowers never die are sure to keep a

smile on your face!

This sweet arrangement is made using 

Stampin' Up!'s Bloomin' Bouquet kit.  

The kit comes with laser cut flowers,

enough for a baker's dozen, and has

floral stems, buttons for the flower centers,

 and labels as well.  All you need is

a cute flower basket or vase to display them in.

Here's a little closer view so you can see

the Faceted Vintage Button centers (included).

Better hurry and get your kit because

they're only available for a limited time

and while supplies last.

Get your kit HERE.  This link

even has a step-by-step video tutorial.

New Catalog Blog Hop - Epic Day Hexagon Card

Welcome to the Blog Hop! I hope you've just come 

from Cali's blog after checking out her project made

from new products from the Stampin' Up! 2013-2014

annual catalog.  You can see the catalog here.

 

Here's my contribution for the Blog Hop:

 

 

Did you notice the little buttons I made at the bottom?

Yes, you read that right, I MADE them!  And so can you!

 

A few of the many new, cool things in this year's

catalog are the Simply Pressed Clay Molds and Simply

Pressed Clay.  There are two molds, one that has

three sizes of buttons and one that has three

sizes of flowers.  It's super fun to make these!

Here are a few more samples of the finished flowers

and buttons:

 

The clay is a white color, and you can

add a few drops of re-inker to color the clay before

you place it in the mold (like the one with the white

arrow pointing to it), or you can color the finished

button or flower with Stampin' Write markers once

it's completely dried.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I hope you have

fun on our Blog Hop today, and be sure to visit

Denise's blog next!!

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!!

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