Let's Go Fly a Kite

Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest heights...let's go fly a kite and send it soaring! Do you remember this song from Mary Poppins? It's been going through my head since I worked on cards yesterday with the new set from the upcoming mini catalog called Send Me Soaring. Another one of my favorites from the mini!

Ingredients: Send Me Soaring
Paper: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Confetti White, Whisper White, Calypso Coral
Ink: Early Espresso, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, VersaMark
Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Adorning Accents Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Curly Label Punch, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Everyday Enchantment Ribbon, Aqua Pen

I love the different sayings in this set. You can use these cards for birthdays, get well, even a non traditional Valentine! I love the cheery colors and well, I just love this card! The ribbon and the DSP that I used are sneak peaks of some of the Sale-a-bration FREEBIES! Only a month away! For every $50.00 that you purchase, you can choose a free stamp set or product from the new Sale-a-bration brochure! Lots of fun things to choose from this year!

 I stamped the kite, string and tail on the corner of the inside. Notice too the fun border of hearts along the bottom with the new Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. It comes with a set of three of them...another favorite from the mini of mine! I told you that you were going to love it! 
So now that I have that song running through your head too, have some fun stampin' today!!
Happy Stampin'!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Scrapbook on the Walls

I love to scrapbook too! I put a lot of time into the pages I create, and have found that scrapbook frames are a great way to scrapbook on the walls and be able to enjoy those creations before adding them to a book.  I have been working on a gift for my daughter-in-law, whose birthday was last week. I finally finished it yesterday and I'm really excited to get it mailed to her. I used the Six Sided Sampler stamp set, stamped them with the stitched hexagon on scraps of Designer Series Paper in Early Espresso, then dabbed each side on the ink pad to add the dark edge to them. The flowers are cut from the Floral Fusion Sizzlit, also shaded, curled a little to give them some shape and added with a dimensional. Love, love, love the new Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog! I can see that I will be using them a lot for scrapbook pages and for cards! Pearls, iridescent embossing on the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set add a little bling to the page. Matching pun

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra
