Thanksgiving Box

I found this cute box on Connie Stewart's site Simply Simple Stamping here.  Don't you just love all the pretty colors.  She did a fantastic job and has instructions including a video.  She also shows some that she created for Christmas.  Thanks Connie!  Love CASEing your site.  Thank you so much for sharing.

This is such a fun project!  The stamp set used is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and cut out with the Decorative Label Punch.  The DSP is Sweater Weather.  The leaves are cut using using Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler 1" Ribbon.  The leaves have been run through the Big Shot using several different embossing folders.  Check out the tutorial on Connie's site, she makes it so easy to recreate!

Happy Stampin'

4 You Mini Milk Carton

My Twin (Judy) found the cutest little milk carton on Sizzix.com.  Here's my version using Stampin' UP! supplies~

I used the Pawsitively Prints II DSP for the Milk Carton (cut with the Big shot using the Mini Milk Carton Die).  The flower is from Sweet Summer Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set ~ hope that one makes the July catalog!  The 4 YOU is stamped on Blushing Bride CS and is from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set.  I used the Scallop Border Punch and some Very Vanilla CS for the background and the scallop under the flap.  Judy actually came down (She's in Modesto and I'm in Atwater) yesterday and the little creation was a Twin effort!  My favorite kind of day!!! Thanks for the idea and the help Judy.  The flower was colored using a Blending Pen and the Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  I put a little bag of pastel Jordan Almonds as the goodie inside the carton.  The ribbon is Real Red Taffeta.  Hope you like it.......

Girl Birthday

I received the blender pens with my demonstrator kit and have never used them. I read somewhere that you are supposed to use them with Stampin' Write Markers and Watercolor Paper. Wow, I'm so glad I saw that tip!

I won't name all the colors of pens I used, the background layer is Pink Pirouette CS ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder layered onto Melon Mambo CS. I added 4 of the new Basic Pearl Jewels to the corners that I punched with the Ticket Corner Punch. The little girls are from the new set The Nicest Things and the Happy Birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set. I cut it with the Large Oval Punch. I used deminsionals to mount it onto the card.

Two Christmas Tags

I made a couple of little Christmas Tags with the Two Tags Bigz Die. I used the Merry Moments DSP and glued it onto chipboard and then ran it through the Big Shot. A bit of Soft Suede Ink for sponging and added the Sleigh being pulled by a horse using a stamp from the Yuletide Christmas Set, sponged around it in the Soft Suede and layered on to Real Red CS punched with the Oval Scallop Punch for one. The other one I used the Circle Scallop Punch with the Sweet Season Stamp that looks like a snowflake. I added a little glass brad from the pretties kit and mounted it with dimensionals to the long tag that had been sponged with the Soft Suede Classic Ink. I added the silver cord for tying onto packages or hangers if they're used as ornaments. Hope you stop by again soon. Hugs, Julia

Butterfly Thank You Cards

I learned this new technique (Faux Foil) on StampingSchool.com tonight. You make a little box to hold 5 1/2' x 3 1/2" note cards. The cards are made by making a stencil, I used the Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies for my pattern. Use the sponge daubers to add Platinum Shimmer Paint and your Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the Thank You from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. Rich Razzleberry CS for the box and Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink Pad for the "thank you". I used the silver cord and added a little bow made with the Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon. Clear sheets for the box cover. (Sorry but the shiny gives off a reflection when I'm taking the picture!)

Happy Birthday Box

I finally made something (on my own, not a copy) LOL!!!! It's a little box I used Rich Razzleberry CS and ran it through the Big Shot with the Final Press Embossing Folder, added some Ribbon Originals Mistletoe and a tag that I made with punches and the Think Happy Thoughts Stamp Set, a little sponging with Razzleberry Ink Pad and Always Artichoke Ink Pad and attached with some of the Silver Elastic Cord. That's it!
