Kleenex Box Cover

I created this Kleenex Box cover to give to my Boss' wife.  She's such a sweetie and came by the office on Wednesday and said hello.  I thought she would like it for the Thanksgiving Season.  If she does, maybe I'll make her another one for the Christmas Season???  I used the Always Thankful Stamp Set for the saying and Wheelbarrow stamped on Very Vanilla CS.  The base is Pear Pizzazz CS.  The next layer is Spice Cake DSP.  The little saying is stamped with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla CS.  I punched it out with the Small Scallop Oval Punch and layered it onto a piece of Soft Suede CS punched with the Curly Label Punch.  The Wheelbarrow is colored with various Stampin' Write Markers and Wonder Color Crayons and I used my Blender Pen to soften the look.  It is layered onto Pool Party CS and then a layer of Pear Pizzazz CS.  I added 3 Basic Pearls above the saying.  Hope she likes it!

Cased another card ~ hello baby!

This lady (Jackie Topa) is awesome ~ she did a video tutorial on this card. Check out her blog; Addicted to Stamping and see what I mean!



I pretty much followed her instructions. I used the Whisper White for my Base Card and sponged with Pink Pirouette. I used the little Sizzlet Lil' Paws for my bear and sponged him with Soft Suede. The stamp set I used for the Onesie is the stamp wheel Baby Tees. I used the Word Window Punch for the post the hanger (made from a paper clip) is hanging on. I used the Pinking Hearts Border Punch, Paper Crimper, Ticket Corner Punch on the drawers and Curly Label Punch for the bottom of the dresser.

Thanks for looking! Happy Stampin'

Valentine Treats for my Grandson's Classmates

I used Dawn's idea on her February 4th post for the little Life-Saver treats and created some for my Grandson's Classmates. I used the friend to friend stamp from the Love You Much Stamp Set. Cut them with the Word Window Punch, a little Soft Suede sponging and glued them onto Whisper White CS cut from the Curly Label Punch and stapled them onto the little candy and added a little heart that was punched from the new Small Heart Punch that's in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Super easy and super cute! Oh yeah, can you tell my G-son's favorite color is red, had to pick all the ones I could find..tee!hee!

Another Birthday!

This one is for my Nephew who will be 14 on Tuesday. How do those kids get that old so fast, seems like yesterday he started school! LOL! I used the Bigz XL Curly Label Die for the base of the card. The Curly Label Punch that matches. The happy birthday was stamped with the Happy Moments Stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog. The Best Wishes is from the Kind and Caring Thoughts which is a Hostess Level 3 set from the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog. I used the Pawsitively Prints DSP for the plaid and orange, some orange and blue grosgrain striped ribbon and Bright Blue CS from the Bold Brights pack. The top half of the card is Bashbul Blue CS ran throught my favorite Embossing Folder Perfect Polka Dots. I used the Large Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch for the Best Wishes.Hope he likes it ~ well, I'll put some $$ in so I'm sure he'll like that! What teenager doesn't need some bucks!!!

Dasher Christmas Card

This little Dasher Stamp is so cute. I stamped him in Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede, cut his body out of the Soft Suede and popped it on top then layered it onto Soft Suede CS and Rich Razzleberry CS onto a Whisper White CS background stamped with snowflakes from the Hostess set Christmas Punch. Also used the have a holly jolly christmas stamp from that set and punched it with the Curly Label Punch and popped it up, added Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon and layered onto more Rich Razzleberry CS & onto a card base of Soft Suede CS. Sponged the edge of the Whisper White CS ~ won't be long will be time to get cards sent out for the Holiday.
