Guitar Card for Jason

2011-12-19T11:58:00.000-08:00

How about a birthday card for a boy? Do you have as much trouble making male cards as I do? For some reason it's just hard for me to come up with ideas for men and boys. I'm ok with making cards for my hubby and son but anyone else is a little tougher. Well, I found this awesome card and wanted to make one for my son's friend Jason. Jason turned 12 and loves to play the guitar. This card was perfect for him. Let me know what you think.

Packing Paper Gift Wrap

2011-12-17T16:30:00.000-08:00

Wondering what to do with all that packing paper that comes in your Stampin' Up! Orders?? How about using it to wrap Christmas gifts?? I wanted this to look a little rustic so I really crumpled the paper first. So fun.

Check back later to see the snowman ornament instructions.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Another Magnetic Board & Glitter Magnets!!

2011-12-17T15:38:00.000-08:00

Here's another magnetic board I made today.

For instructions on how to make this board and the magnets see this post: http://lorrainerowe.blogspot.com/2011/12/magnetic-boards-for-christmas.html

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Magnetic Boards for Christmas

2011-12-14T13:57:00.000-08:00

It's Christmastime and I'm busy making some gifts for friends and family!!

These magnet boards were gifts for some of my amazing stamping friends.

They were so easy to make too. I bought some cookie sheets, sprayed them with adhesive, laid our BEAUTIFUL FABRIC over them, folded the edges back nice and neat then covered the back with felt sheets using spray adhesive also. I used the Crop A Dile to punch holes through the tops, tied ribbon through the holes and presto, chango, pretty magnetic boards to hang in your favorite room!!

I also made the magnets!! I bought some flat backed clear marbles at a craft store, washed and dried them, poured Crystal Effects on the flat side, poured our amazingly sparkly glitter on the Crystal Effects, let that dry then hot glued some magnets to the backs. So easy and quick.

I hope you like my projects today. AND, if you do, let me know. I'd love to read your comments and see what you think.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Modern Ornament

2011-12-12T12:44:00.000-08:00

How about a pretty ornament to add to your holiday decorations? I found this tutorial and thought I'd give it a try. I didn't want to use plain white cardstock so I punched my strips with the Eyelet Border Punch. My strips were 10" long. The tutorial uses 11" strips. I also added some beads to the bottom of mine for sparkle. There are so many things you can add to this, glitter, rhinestones, pearls, punched shapes, whatever you can think of!! This would look beautiful with some of our Designer Series Cardstock too. I just wanted to try white for my first one. It only took about 10 minutes to make and that was because I punched the strips. I could see a bunch of these hanging in our window. That is, if I get time to make them. HA!

Here's a little tip if you want to add beads to your ornament. I cut a piece of 24 gauge wire to use as my "needle". Just fold the wire in half and thread your string through then thread the bead with the wire and pull!! So simple. There was no way I was going to get the string through the bead without the wire. You could also just use the wire to string your beads onto.

I hope you're enjoying your holiday seasoon as much as I am. Thanks for taking time to stop by and see me

2011-10-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

Another Raining Flowers card. This time I used Melon Mambo and Old Olive with Whisper White. I added some of our beautiful satin ribbon and a greeting and here it is.

Is it a Flower or Grapes?

2011-10-13T09:26:00.000-07:00

This card was created with the Raining Flowers stamp set. When I first saw this set I immediately thought of grapes and had to make this card. Even though the image is supposed to be flowers I thought they looked like grapes. So, the next time you pull out one of your stamp sets, try to look at it a little differently and see what you can come up with.

Thanks for dropping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Some Kissing Pics...

2011-03-21T12:58:00.000-07:00

Lydia Fiedler inspired me to do some kissing today!! Ok, probably not the kissing you were thinking of but stamp kissing! Yes, I love my stamps so much that I sometimes want to kiss them but that's not what I did this time...LOL!!!

What I did was ink up my Ornate Blossom stamp (FREE with a $50 order) with Blushing Bride, then I inked up my swirly stamp from the Sweet Summer set (also FREE with a $50 order) with Chocolate Chip and stamped on to my Ornate Blossom stamp. So, you're stamping on a stamp, yes, that's correct. Then stamp it on to paper!! Voila! You just kissed your stamps!! Then I colored the image in with Certainly Celery and So Saffron markers.

The inspiration for the color combo on this card came from a Yahoo group I belong to, Stampin' Up! Late Nite Stampers. If you're not a member of this group, you really should be. There are some super incredible stampers in this group and they share all kinds of AMAZING projects!!! This is one of the weekly challenges they give us. This one is for Challenge 113, it's a color challenge.-----my very first challenge EVER!!! The colors are Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and So Saffron.

So, here's the card. What do you think? Let me know. I love to read comments you leave me so leave me some love my blog peeps!! :0)

Birthday Cupcakes

2011-03-11T04:02:00.000-08:00

Well, let me tell you...when I saw what I could do with my Petal Cone die for the Big Shot I got so excited!!! Corinne (aka Roxy) Summerville shared an oh-so-cute cupcake made with this die and boy did my wheels start turning. I was thinking of all the different cupcakes I could make, chocolate, strawberry, fluffy, swirly and polka dotty (ok, that's probably not a word), but you get the idea right? Well, here are the cupcakes that whirled around in my head. I hope you like them. :0) They almost look good enough to eat...yummmmmm!!

Thanks for coming to see me today. Enjoy your FRIDAY!!

Princess Crown and a Blog Award-WOO HOO!!

2011-03-09T09:30:00.000-08:00

My son was invited to a birthday party for one of his good friends, Angela, so, of course, I needed to create something beautiful, sparkly and pink!! I searched the internet for a crown template and couldn't find one I liked. I wanted something unique so I created my own!! I'm sharing the template with you so, your job is to use it to create something and share it with everyone!

Here's my princess crown...

My son Randy and his friend, the birthday princess, Angela.My wonderful friend Rosie Gonzalez has awarded me with the Stylish Blogger Award!! THANKS ROSIE POSIE!!! What an honor it is to receive this special award again!! The rules state that I am supposed to share some unique things about me but since I've already done that on the first award I will not bore you with more uninteresting stuff about me. :0) I also need to pass this on to some other bloggers that inspire me so, here are the blogs I like to read daily to get the inspiration to create, live a happy life and be thankful for everything I have.

Go pay these ladies a visit today, I promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday and hug the ones you love!

Springtime Vintage Happy Birthday

2011-03-08T10:46:00.000-08:00

Here's another card we made at Stamp Camp last weekend. This one started with the Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper we have in the Occasions Mini Catalog. This is my all time favorite DSP since I started with SU! 15 years ago. I love how girly and shabby chic it is. I really, really hope it carries over so we can still order it after the Occasions Mini is gone.

Check out the close up pic. See all that glitter???? I added our Champagne Shimmer Paint to some alcohol in a little spray bottle and shook it up really good and sprayed the whole card!!! I LOVE OUR SHIMMER PAINTS!!! Mostly because I love anything sparkly, glittery, shimmery!!! Don't you just love this technique!?!? To make the Simmer Spritz, I poured the whole bottle into the small spray bottle and then filled the rest up with alcohol. I used alcohol because it dries so quickly. My spray bottle is about 4 inches high. Go ahead, give it a try, it's sooooooooo sparkly in person.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯-- What can I say...I love my job!!

Ice Cream Anyone?

2011-03-07T17:08:00.000-08:00

This is a totally cute card I made after I watched Jill Olsen's video tutorial. This was also one of the cards we created at Stamp Camp last weekend. It was a huge hit, everyone loved it. This awesome card would be great for birthday invites, happy birthdays, ice cream social invites, thank yous, have a great day cards and probably more occasions. I love it and will most likely use it for all of the above occasions. :0) We will also be making this at my next Stamp Camp on March 27th, so if you missed last weekend's stamp camp email me now to register for this one!!
Thanks for your continued friendships, I really appreciate that you take time out of your day to visit me!! Happy hugs to you all!!

I Need a Seamstress!!

2011-03-04T12:40:00.000-08:00

Check out these cute dresses!!! I want one of each that I can wear. Is there a seamstress out there that can make me these dresses?!?!

Michelle Lyon shared a darling dress card with one of my stamp groups and I just had to CASE it!! Here are my three versions using our Springtime Vintage fabric in the Occasions Mini catalog. The bottom of the dresses were cut using the Square Scallop Die and the Big Shot and the tops of the dresses were made using 3 different Circle Punches, the NEW 2 1/2", the 1 3/4" and the 3/4". Now if I could find someone to make me life size copies I'd be in heaven!!

EDIT TO ADD:

Directions are below!!

I hope you like these cute dresses and are inspired to create something using our new Springtime Vintage fabric. I just love this fabric and hope it makes it into the next big catalog!!

Thank you for visiting me today.

Now I'm off to finish getting ready for Stamp Camp tomorrow.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Directions to create these adorable dresses!!
The top part of the dress is cardstock. Punch a circle out using the Stampin' Up! 2 1/2" Circle Punch. Then on each side use the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to create the shape for the waist. I punched one side then used the piece punched out and laid it on the other side of the circle and traced it with pencil. Then punch that side out following your traced line. Use the 3/4" Circle Punch for the neck. I then ran all three tops through the Big Shot using different Embossing Folders. I used the Elegant Lines, Elegant Bouquet and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders. Then embellish the way you want.

For the bottom part of the dress I used the Big Shot die cutting machine and the Square Scallop Die. Just cut one fabric scallop square using the die. Fold the fabric back according to the shape of the "skirt" you want, glue to the back of the Top of the dress and cut off the excess.

That's it. I really hope my directions are easy for you to follow. If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm happy to help. Also, if you need any of the supplies to make these cards you can order them directly from my Stampin' Up! Website and you will receive preferred pricing, a little discount.

Water Bottle Holder

2011-03-02T08:59:00.000-08:00

Happy Wednesday!!! Here's a project I've been thinking about for a couple of days now. It's a water bottle holder for me! I don't like carrying anything when I go for my walks so I decided to put our beautiful new Designer Fabric to good use. I made it large enough to hold a big water bottle and I can still put my keys in the bottom!!

The fabric is from our Occasions Mini catalog and it's called Springtime Vintage. The fabric is 100% cotton and comes in 3 coordinated designs in extra fat quarters, approx. 28"x18" and sells for $9.95 for all 3 pieces!!! What a deal! I do have to say that this fabric is my ABSOLUTE favorite of all the SU! fabrics we've had so far. I just love the feminine look of it. I've used all 3 designs on this project and just love how it turned out. The ribbon is retired but it's SU!'s Rose Red and Brocade Blue. I just stitched 2 straight (kind of) lines down the ribbon, hemmed each end and added button holes. The buttons are also SU!! They're our Big Designer Buttons and are also in the Occasions Mini and you get 48 buttons, 4 each of 3 designs in 4 colors, Crumb Cake, Rose Red (used here), Pear Pizzazz and Night of Navy!!!! They coordinate with our fabric perfectly and sell for $8.95!!
To make the holder I cut 12 scallop squares out using our AWESOME Scallop Square Die for the Big Shot and 2 hand cut triangles for the bottom. I stitched them all together with the scallops left out to make this project kind of Shabby Chic. It is reversible and the inside is all finished if you prefer the smooth look.

Now, I am NOT a seamstress at all!!! I am very much a novice at sewing but this was SO very easy to make I know, if I can make it, anyone can make it!!

If you would like to see our gorgeous fabric just download the Occasions Mini catalog and check it out. There is also another beautiful fabric bundle in the mini in case you don't like this one. Don't forget all the incredible stamps, accessories and finished projects in the catalog too and if you purchase $50 from ANY catalog, you will get to choose a FREE item from our Sale A Bration Catalog!!! It's just a great month to purchase those items on your wish list AND get some FREE stuff too!!! Just go to my SU! Website to place your order and don't forget you'll get PREFERRED PRICING by placing an online order too!!!!

Well, that's it for me today. I'm off to go walking with my new water bottle holder!!

I hope you have nice weather so you can enjoy a walk or just being outside today!!

Beautiful Bliss

2011-03-01T04:35:00.000-08:00

Well, as promised here I am again...WOO HOO...2 postings in 1 week!!

Here are a couple of cards I made with the Sale A Bration stamp set Bliss!!! Remember, you can get this set FREE with a $50 order!! These stamps are simply beautiful. They're great for a traditional card like the Red, White & Blue card below or for a vintage look like the Soft Suede and Vanilla card here. Either way, I think you'll love what you can create with this stamp set!!

Have a Terrific Tuesday and thanks for visiting me today!!

Sweet Summer Watercolor

2011-02-28T12:48:00.000-08:00

Happy Monday!!
Yes, I know I've been gone a while but I'm here today to show you a couple of cards I made. It's pretty rare that I have time to just "play" with my Stampin' Up! stuff but I made time last week.

I really love the new stamp set Sweet Summer in the Sale A Bration catalog. It's got the cutest images that are perfect for any occasion and it's FREE with a $50 order!!!

For these two cards I did some ink pad watercoloring. This is when you squeeze the lid of your ink pad to get the ink on the inside of the lid. Then just take your Aquabrush and start watercoloring!!! It's like having all of our designer colors to paint with!!

I'll try to be back tomorrow to post another 2 cards I made. Those are using the Sale A Bration Set called Bliss!!! Come back and check them out. Meanwhile, let me know what you think of these two cards.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!!

2011-02-05T01:54:00.000-08:00

You're Invited to Stamp Camp!!
March 5th at 11:30

Come join me and two other demonstrators for a fun filled event.

We'll be meeting at Round Table Pizza. There are only 12 spaces per demonstrator, 36 spaces in all, so it will be first come first served. Sign up soon or you'll miss out on a wonderful creative experience! But don't worry, you will be put on a waiting list if my spaces are filled and will be notified when/if a space becomes available. The fee is $30. This includes pizza, salad and drinks.

We'll be making 6 projects, these are a bit more difficult than regular workshop projects. You'll learn new techniques and enjoy making "wow" projects that will impress your friends and family. There will be lots of drawings for free stamp sets and accessories. Also, bring your camera since you'll be surrounded by 100's of samples.

If this sounds like something you'd like to do then call your friends and then let me know. The more the merrier. I promise you'll have a memorable afternoon.

VERY IMPORTANT: RSVP by Saturday, February 26th since spaces are limited and we will be filling spaces with people on the waiting list by Sunday February 27th. You must make payment by this date to hold your spot. You can send me a check, call me with your Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card, or pay with PayPal. My PayPal account name is Ltrain26@comcast.net.

Don't miss out on a chance to have a great time while learning new stuff, winning great prizes, eating good pizza and meeting new friends!! I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

A Few Cards

2011-01-12T17:20:00.000-08:00

Here are some cards we did last year at one of our meetings. I totally forgot to share these with you. Sorry about that. :0) Although the holidays for these cards are past you can still use the layouts and designs to create current cards. Thanks for visiting me today!

Edra Jandro brought this cute purse for her swap.This is another make & take by Edra Jandro. This card was Rosie Gonzalez's make & take. This was my swap card made with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio digital software. After it was printed I added some Dazzling Diamond glitter and some Rhinestones. This was Joyce Cram's make & take. This was anther make & take by Joyce Cram.

This was Joyce Cram's swap. A really cute candy bar holder! I ate the candy bar before I took the picture...sorry. :0)
This was my make & take. I totally cased this card from Renee Van Stralen. You can see her original card here: http://reneevs.blogspot.com/2010/10/me-my-mum-just-add-ink-challenge.html

Stylish Blog Award

2011-01-09T04:17:00.000-08:00

Every once in a while my blog gets recognized by an incredible blogger/stamper. This time I received recognition from the uber talented Patty Bennett!!!! Patty is one of my favorite stampers. She always has fun, new, creative projects posted on her blog and has inspired me many times. It doesn't hurt that she was the #5 stamper out of thousands of Stampin' Up! demonstrators last year! Patty has graciously awarded me the Stylish Blogger award and I am so thrilled.

As with most awards there is a little work I need to do to accept this award. I need to tell you 8 things about myself that you probably didn't know and then I need to pay it forward to 8 other amazing bloggers.

So, here are a few things you might not know about me:

1. I have been married for almost 18 years to a wonderful man and my best friend. We met about 26 years ago while working at Chili's Grill & Bar. I was a waitress/bartender and he was a cook/waiter. When I met him I knew I would marry him one day.

2. I have a 7 year old son who is the love of my life. We tried for almost 10 years to have a baby and just when we thought about giving up God blessed us with a boy.

3. I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for almost 15 years. I signed up right after a presentation on Secretary's Day at my old job. I have since quit that job and have been a full time demonstrator ever since.

4. I have a huge family on my Dad's side with 6 uncles and 3 aunts and over 200 cousins, most of which still live in Stockton, CA. My Mom was an only child so I have no aunts & uncles on her side.

5. Sometimes I think I should have been a teacher. I absolutely LOVE working at my son's school. I love being in class with the kids and helping them with their work. I would be there every day if I could but, if you paid me and it was my real job, I don't think I'd like it.

6. I've had 6 cars in my driving career. A silver, spray painted, 1964 Bug, a Toyota Corona station wagon, a Scirocco, a Toyota Celica Supra, a Honda Accord and now a Chrysler Town & Country Van. Out of all those the Honda and Chrysler were bought brand new.

7. I've had 10 jobs. I'm not sure of the exact order but here they are: Chevron Gas Station, Gemco, Susie's Casuals, American Forest Products, Spoons, Chili's, Carlos Luigi's, Stone Brothers Real Estate Group and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was my last job. My current job as a Mom/Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the absolute best job I've ever had!!

8. I am usually up at all hours of the night reading emails, playing computer games and reading blogs.

Ok, now I would like to pay this forward to some amazing bloggers!! These are ladies that inspire my creativity and give me endless tips and techniques for stamping. Do yourself a favor and check out their blogs. You won't be disappointed!!

Let me explain what a make & take is. It is when each person brings a project for everyone to make. You would bring the stamps, cardstock (cut to size), ink, embellishments and tools so each person can make your card. It's awesome!! You bring one card for everyone to make and you leave with several cards that you made yourself. Here are the projects these ladies brought for us to make. These are the cards I made with their supplies and design.

Snow Family

2011-01-03T20:47:00.001-08:00

Here are a few cards I made for my family for Christmas. I love collecting snowmen so making these cuties was so fun.

This last card was created by my "other son" Mike. He's a neighborhood friend that likes to come by to hang out with us so we've adopted him. He was so proud of his snowman card. I am too. Look at it. It's totally 3 dimensional. He debossed the hat with my stylus, he cut a piece of ribbon to create the top of the hat. He cut out the jacket, arms and nose free hand and he made snow out of ribbon. Great imagination!! Great job Mike!!Thanks for checking in to see my creations today. I appreciate your visit!

Memo Board/Hair Clip Holder

2011-01-02T16:36:00.001-08:00

Before Christmas my Sis asked me to make my niece a hair clip holder. She sent me a picture of a memo board she had seen online. It was really cute but the ribbon was only going up and down on the board. I wanted to make something they could use even after my niece was done with hair clips. So, I created this memo board that can hold her hair clips too.

This was a pretty easy project. I would have to say choosing the fabric was the hardest part. I spent more time in the fabric store that it took me to make the whole project. LOL!! My nieces room is decorated in brown and pink (my favorite color combo) so it was easy to decide what colors to make the memo board. The hard part was choosing just the right fabric.

The base of the project is a cork board I bought at a craft store. It's just like a framed canvas you would buy for painting only it's covered with cork and backed with cardboard. This made the project so much easier to make. I just hot glued the fabric on to the cork board frame making sure to wrap it around to the back. I folded the corners over really neatly as I wanted the back to look nice too. Then I took some ribbon and measured out where I wanted them and where to criss cross them. Then got glued them to the back also. For the criss crosses I hot glued some brads. First I used my paper piercer to make holes through the fabric, cork and cardboard. Then put the brad through the hole and added hot glue before I pushed the brad all the way through. Then just opened the back of the brad on the back. I also hot glued some ribbon on the back to cover the edges of the fabric and ribbon. Sorry I didn't take a picture of that. I'll have my Sis take a picture and then I'll post that later. The board is 17 x 24. All the supplies are listed below.I hope you like this project and have a chance to make one for yourself or a loved one. It was so easy to make and turned out way better than I ever thought it would. It was a great sense of accomplishment.

Thank you for stopping by to see me. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!!!

2010-05-04T09:35:00.000-07:00

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!!!

I would like to send a very special THANK YOU to all past and present teachers out there.

You are teaching our children and in tun, helping to create our future! You work hard every day, including some weekends, to prepare lessons for our kids, to teach them life values, to help them with problems, to nurture them, to prepare them for adulthood and I sincerely appreciate all you do.

If it weren't for you, where would our leaders come from? Where would all the doctors, dentists, lawyers, or other teachers, etc. come from? You are the reason we are who we are and why we've become the best possible people we can be.

I thank you with all my heart!!

Below is an article I'd like to share with you, written by Elizabeth Pesek.

Elizabeth Pesek is a third-grade teacher in the Fremont, CA Unified School District. She grew up in Fremont, moved away for several years, then moved back. She has been teaching for 12 years.

My Word: People don't understand how badly cuts will hurt
By Elizabeth Pesek
Guest commentary
Posted: 04/14/2010 12:01:00 AM PDT

As the Fremont Unified School District, among others, considers dramatically increasing class sizes and eliminating preparation time at the elementary grade level, keep in mind the following analogy.

Let's say the school district is like a company that manages farms, and it requires its farmers to grow and harvest crops in huge quantities.

The company takes away the farmer's tools, refuses to give the farmer enough water or fertilizer to do the job, and then ties the farmer's hands behind his back. Still, the company not only demands the original large harvest, but it increases its yield expectations each year. Finally, if the expectations are not met, the company blames the farmer.

In this scenario, will anything of value be produced?

Teachers are in the business of helping children grow. We understand funds are extremely limited at this time and painful cuts must be made. However, many teachers feel that those making the decisions don't understand the reality of the classroom.

It feels like people just don't understand that children are complex human beings with multiple needs. They are not machines that can have curriculum "implemented" into them and then good test scores will be the output.

They come to us with differing emotional, social, physical and intellectual needs, all of which we are expected to address.

In a typical week as a third-grade teacher, I am trying to help my students understand fractions, prepositional phrases, inferences, reading strategies, good writing traits, basketball, economics, the solar system, vocabulary, elements of art, test-taking strategies and the dangers of drugs.

It is enough of a challenge to master all this content, make plans to teach it effectively, prepare materials and correct assessments.

But while doing all that, I am also trying to provide extra help to those who struggle, challenge those who learn quickly, mediate arguments, teach conflict resolution, supervise playgrounds, give out Band-Aids, get absent students caught up, do paperwork to help those with severe problems, comfort students who bring problems from home, rearrange seating so students aren't distracted, plan separate lessons for English language learners, discipline misbehaving students and teach social skills.

The reality is that kids skin their knees, argue with their friends, cry when they're upset and want to share about their lives, even if it's not part of the curriculum.

Being in a classroom is an experience of juggling innumerable tasks and making constant decisions about a wide variety of things.

After students go home, teachers must also get ready for staff meetings, change bulletin boards, call parents, read e-mails and analyze test scores.

It seems like people just don't understand that doing all of this without any preparation time in the day and with 30 students is overwhelming.

It seems people just don't understand that all these factors combine to create teachers who are stressed, exhausted, frazzled and not the role models of calm, happiness and focus we should desire for our children.

Good teachers want to provide children with true knowledge and inspiration, and instead we often feel like we are processing students on an assembly line, and the conveyor belt keeps getting faster and faster.

As a society, we have the resources to make children a priority. I just don't understand why we choose not to.

Vintage Flowers

2010-05-03T09:29:00.001-07:00

Here's another card we made at our last Stamp Camp. This card was created by

Debbie Colbacchini. It uses our Vintage Vogue set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. This set is no longer available but you can substitute the stamp set with ANY flower set!! I love how Debbie used the greens on this card. Check out the Build A Brad in the center of the large flower...just gorgeous!

Well, it's Monday so I'd better get my rear in gear and start my day. Hope you have a wonderful week!!

Scallop Flower

2010-05-02T12:18:00.000-07:00

Here's another card I made for my downline meeting this past week. This one was the make & take I created. I used the Scallop Circle die for the Big Shot to create the Basic Black base card then I used our awesome circle cutter to cut the 2 circle layers in Real Red and Whisper White. The Garden Green and Whisper White ovals are punched out with the Large and Small Oval punch then stamped a sentiment with the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. Such a versatile set. A must have for sentiments! I've used the Fifth Avenue Floral set again. Love that set! Colored the flower with Real Red in the center then colored over the Real Red with Ruby Red and filled in the rest of the flower. This created a little shadow effect in the center of the flower. The stem is Garden Green and the little dots were made with our Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp. I also added some shading around the flower with our River Rock Marker. Pretty simple card to make. Hope you like it!

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy your Sunday!!

Flower Friends

2010-05-01T13:21:00.001-07:00

Happy WEEKEND!! Yeah, it's finally here!! Boy have I had a busy week. I'm so glad the weekend is here. I hope you're doing something fun and enjoying some beautiful weather!!

Ok, so, here's a card I made for my downline meeting the other day. It's pretty simple but I have 2 samples to show you. I made the first one using Melon Mambo ink on the background and then inking the Friends F Stamp with Crushed Curry stamp pad then colored some Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry over that with my markers. Not sure I like the look of this one. Then I made the second one with Crushed Curry stamp pad for the background and Melon Mambo for the Friends F. I think I like this one better. Let me know which one you prefer. I'd love to hear your comments.

Thanks for coming to see me today and if you have some time get your fingers inky!! :0)

Sweet Little Card

2010-04-29T08:56:00.000-07:00

Another beautiful card created by Katja Pastor for Stamp Camp. Ok, so you don't have time to make a full size card...how about a 3 x 3 card?? Yes, you have a smaller area to decorate but with our Sweet Pea Stitched Felt flowers you can have this card done in about 2 minutes...seriously!! Don't have the Felt flowers, how about using one of our amazing punches?? Just punch out a flower using our Extra Large Flower Fancy punch. Add a button to the center and voila!! A totally cute quick card.

I just wanted to let you all know that I sincerely appreciate you visiting me. It just makes me smile every time I come here and have a comment or two. So, if you have the time, let me know if you're enjoying the projects I've been showing you. Also, if you want to see something in particular, just let me know. I'm happy to show you what you'd like to see.

Have a super wonderful day!

Surfer Boy

2010-04-28T08:41:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it's Wednesday...the weekend is getting closer!!

Here's a total boy's card created by Katja Pastor for our last Stamp Camp. Don't you just love the colors she used?? Real Red, Old Olive & Bashful Blue. Check out the tie embellishment...It's hemp twine, Bashful Blue & Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon!! What a great idea using the Large Brads to anchor them. She also used some Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the waves!! It really sparkles in person. If you have a boy birthday coming up this would make an awesome card for him.

Thanks for stopping in today. I hope your day is radical dude!!

Puffy Flowers

2010-04-27T08:52:00.000-07:00

Happy Tuesday!!

Well, I've been thinking of making this card for a while now and I finally got it done. I used our Circle Die #2 with our Big Shot and cut some fabric. I then used my sewing machine to sew the circles together, leaving a little opening to fill the flowers with fiber fill. Then I just sewed some of our oh-so-cute Designer buttons to the centers. Added some of our awesome Designer Series Paper and there you have it!! A Puffy Flower card! I do have one tip though...Don't fill your flowers too full with the fiber fill and when you sew your buttons on they will sink into the flower more to give it a little more dimension.

Well, that's it for today...I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks bunches for stopping by!!

Black Magic

2010-04-26T07:17:00.000-07:00

No not the black magic you're thinking of...I don't know any real magic tricks. LOL!! This is a magic coloring technique. Using your White Craft Pad, stamp your solid image on Basic Black cardstock. Wait for it to dry or, if you're like me and can't wait, use your heat tool to dry the ink. Then, using your watercolor pencils, color over the white stamped image. I've used 4 colors here. Light Pink, Dark Pink, Light Green & Dark Green. Use your light color first and color your image. Then, use your dark color and highlight or add shading. That's it. It's so simple!! Then use your White Gel Pen if you'd like the white detail. I love this technique and will be trying it on larger images next.

So, have a super great Monday and thanks for taking the time to come see me.

Milk Carton Set

2010-04-24T13:55:00.000-07:00

Here's a cute little gift set I created with our Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot. I actually ordered the kit from Becky Roberts. I don't know if the kit is still available but you can check with Becky by going to her blog here: http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2010/01/mini-milk-carton-container-tutorial-now.html. I just think this is the cutest little gift set ever!! This one's decorated for Easter but you can decorate it for ANY occasion. Speaking of occasion...the Milk Carton Die is only available until the end of this month so, if you want it you need to order it quickly before it's gone! Just shoot me an email or give me a call to order yours. Don't forget, you can always order online through my Stampin' Up! website and you will get a discount!!! Who doesn't want a discount!??!!

Flower Card

2010-04-21T08:55:00.000-07:00

Happy Wednesday!!

Here's an Easter Flower Card I forgot to share with you. Although it's an Easter Card all you would need to do is change the sentiment and it could be a birthday, Mother's Day, thank you or just an all occasion card.

It's made with the Flower Folds Die for the Big Shot. I've used all the flowers from the die and just layered them. The butterfly is made with some cardstock I had in my stash and it was punched out using our Butterfly Punch. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and is from the Well Scripted set of 6 sayings in the Occasions Mini catalog and is only available until the end of this month!! It was then punched out using our Scallop Oval punch and layered on the Wide Oval Punch. The center of the flower was stamped with the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set in Basic Black and also punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. Perfect for when you have a lot of cards to make. Our Big Shot Dies and punches are great tools to have around when you need a quick card!

Thanks for visiting me today I hope you get a chance to stamp and have a wonderful day!

New & New Old Colors

2010-04-16T15:01:00.000-07:00

Ok, so, I'm just too excited about our new colors coming out and the fact that we're bringing back some of my favorite old colors I just had to make a card using them. I've used our NEW Daffodil Delight and our NEW OLD Tangerine Tango on these cute circle flowers. As a demonstrator we sometimes get a little sample of new things coming out. Wednesday I received our Stampin' Success (our monthly magazine from SU!) with cardstock samples of our new colors coming out in July!!! I wasn't going to use the samples but then I thought, why not??!!?? I just couldn't wait any longer to cut into these beautiful colors to make a card!!! So, here it is!!! I hope you like my card and most of all I hope you like the new and new old colors I used!!

Thanks for coming to see me today. If you have time I'd love to hear what you think of the new colors and the old colors coming back. Leave me a little comment and let me know!

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Violets

2010-03-25T12:21:00.001-07:00

Well, now that spring is officially here I thought I'd make some flowers. I've always liked the beautiful, vibrant colors of violets and when I saw a picture of a project made with this technique, I knew I had to try it. It was Sage Kimble's project that I had seen that made me want to try this technique. You can see Sage's project here.

To make these flowers I used our butterfly punch and watercolor cardstock. Punch out 2 butterflies. Color the centers with Summer Sun Marker and the outside with Lovely Lilac. Don't completely color the cardstock with your markers. Just scribble along edge and the centers then use the Aqua Pen to watercolor and blend. It's that simple. I do recommend water coloring the centers then water coloring the edges last. Layer the butterflies, connect with a brad (I used black) and glue to your card.

To make the oval and scallop oval layers I used my Colluzzle for the Summer Sun and then cut a strip of Lovely Lilac and scalloped the edge with the Scallop Edge punch. Cut snips into the scallop strip (the bottom edge, not the scallop edge) and lay it on to the back edge of the Summer Sun layer. Adhere with our sticky strip to get a good hold.

Pretty easy card and I really enjoyed water coloring the violets. I hope you give it a try.

Thank you for stopping by to visit me today and I hope you're enjoying our beautiful spring weather.

Have a wonderful day!

Tin Flower Candle Holder

2010-03-04T14:57:00.000-08:00

Here's a tin candle holder I made using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and the Stampin' Up! Flower Folds Die!! This is made with roof flashing from a hardware store. I got a 6"x50' roll for $17.00!! How excited I was when I saw they had it in the 6" width!!! That's the exact size to fit all of our dies and fit in the Big Shot without having to cut it!! I only had to cut the length!! WOO HOO!!! Anyway, I got this idea from France aka Frenchie. No she's not from France, that's her name and she's from French Canada now living in Wyoming. She has an awesome video on her blog that explains exactly how to make this totally adorable candle holder!! Go check it out!

Thanks for visiting me and I hope your having a wonderful day!

Fabric Flower Headband

2010-02-19T15:52:00.000-08:00

Happy Friday!!

Today I wanted to create a flower headband for my niece. So, I got out my Scallop Circle Die (#113468 - $19.95) and cut some cute pink, white and brown fabric. I cut 6 scallop circles, sewed them together, sewed on a couple of Sherbet Designer Buttons (#116312) to the smallest flower from the Flower Folds Die (#115970 - $42.95) then sewed that on to the center of all the scallop circles and then sewed it on to the headband. The headband is just a "slice" of a pair of little girl tights. I think it turned out so cute. I can't wait to see it on my beautiful baby niece.

Thanks for coming to see me today.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

2010-02-14T07:41:00.001-08:00

I haven't forgotten about my MAD Challenge,

I just haven't uploaded the pics of the cards I've been sending out.

Stay tuned for those.

Today, I want to share some Valentine's Day cards I've made.

This first one is for my most special husband.

It's rated PG so be sure there are no little ones in the room when your scroll down. :0)

I got this idea from Tiffany Bauer. You can see her original card by clicking here. I also got the template for this card from Frances Byrne. You can see her original post and get the template here: http://stampowl.blogspot.com/2008/01/panty-template.html

Front

Back:

This next one is for my little man. He loves Spongebob so I had to try to make one for him.

These next cards are the Valentine cards my son gave to his first grade classmates.

He also made the Pencil Bugs below.

(The bugs are CASED from Janet Wakeland. You can see her bugs here.)

Hope your Valentine's Day is full of sweet surprises!

MAD Challenge Days 1, 2 & 3

2010-02-03T16:57:00.000-08:00

Happy Wednesday. No I'm not MAD but I do have a MAD Challenge for you. Deann Oliver has challenged all of us paper crafters to use what we've made to Make A Difference! Make A Difference in someone's life by sending a handmade card or gift every day of the month of February. What a fantastic idea I thought to my self. I make hundreds of cards and have really been bad about sending them out. SOOOOO, I have chosen some of the cards I've made to send to some friends this month. I hope you are up to the challenge and do the same. Think of the smile you will put on someone's face when they receive your special greeting.

Thank you for coming to see me today. You have put a smile on my face by doing so. :0)

Have a wonderful day!
Lorraine

Here are the cards I sent out today. I sent out 3 because I missed the first two days of the month and wanted to catch up. Some of the cards you will see during my MAD Challenge may be cards you've already seen. I thought you might like to see them again. :0)

Best Friends...

How do you capture the crisp look of a frosty winter morning on a scrapbook page? It's easy when you brush our Shimmer Paint over your page and use our Snowfall window sheets! I adore this fun wintery design, and I hope you will, too.

Remember to order through my Stampin' Up! Website to get the Preferred Pricing!
