I wanted a thank you card that I could also give to a guy. So, I created this card with no ribbon and no bows! To line up my tree trunks perfectly, I used my <strong>Stamp-a-ma-jig</strong>. I love this tool! I know we aren't suppose to obsess over a "perfect" card, after all, they are hand made, but I confess, I do obsess! So, for me this tool takes out all the stress of that perfectly placed last sentiment! ENJOY!<br />

I used two stamp sets, <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Hope</strong> (which is retiring) and <strong>Best Dad Ever</strong> (which will remain current). I thought this palm tree seemed fitting, considering we live in Hawaii and palm trees are everywhere. ENJOY!<br />

This is really such a simple card, easy to quickly throw together! The base of the card was created by running my <strong>stripes impression embossing folder</strong> through my big shot. I also used my tasteful trim die to create the little bit of trim on the card. I can't wait to make a scrapbook page with this die! <strong>ENJOY!</strong><br />

This little girl reminds me of my daughter and I tried to make her look like a brownie. I love these little stick figures, but they are also retiring. I will keep this set stuck back in my retired stash for a little while longer. To make my bag, I ran the <strong>Fancy Favor die</strong> through my <strong>big shot</strong>. I even used some scrap paper cut thinly as decorative packing for bag. I used quite a few punches on this projects, which always makes it come together quickly. The oval frame is part of a set from <strong>the designer frames textured impression embossing folders</strong>, followed by the <strong>decorative label punch</strong> and the <strong>extra large oval</strong> that my little girls is stamped on. The little thank you sentiment comes from the <strong>teeny tiny wishes set</strong> and is punched out using the <strong>jewelry tag punch</strong>. To color my little girl, I used a <strong>blender pen</strong> and <strong>chocolate chip ink</strong>. The ribbon is marina mist and is from the <strong>scallop dots ribbon collection</strong> What do you think of the little <strong>basic pearl</strong> I used for her hair clip? <strong>ENJOY!</strong>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525810348476684711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197185125856872671.post-56953047264881773852012-05-22T00:00:00.000-07:002012-05-22T10:50:53.078-07:00BRING ON THE CAKE BIRHTDAY WISHES<br />

The <strong>Framelits label collection</strong> along with my <strong>Big Shot</strong> was used for the large frame and my <strong>decorative label punch</strong> was used to punch out the smaller label. I always stamp, then punch; that way you can line your stamp image up to look like it was stamped perfectly straight, even if it wasn't. A little bit of <strong>baker's twine</strong> in pool party and a <strong>retired rhinestone</strong> brad and this card is complete. I have a busy week of crafting ahead of me, this is my girls' last week of school, and I want to show their teachers and the staff at their school what a great job we think they did this year!<br />

My card today features the soon to be retired <strong>Many Thanks</strong> Sizzlits Die. I have used this little die a lot and it only cost me $5.50!!! It includes the word thank you, as shown, and an additional "s" so you have the option of writing "thanks" also. Everything else on this card is long retired, but you can see that making a card doesn't always have to include ink or a stamp!</div>

Okay, I was disappointed when I saw this set listed as retiring, but I am hopeful that it will be replaced by another really cute heart set! For this simple card, I used a kissing technique. I used two images and inked them up with different colors and then pressed them together (kissing), then stamped using one of the images. I didn't completely cover either image with ink and I liked how it came out. It is something you have to play around with a little, but it really produces a unique look. I punched the image out with the <strong>Full Heart punch</strong> and then placed the stamped friend image inside another heart image that I stamped creating a little frame effect. The rest of the card I left simple! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember when this stamp set, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Nicest Things,</strong> was released. These cute little girls immediately made me think of my girls. I made a birthday card for my Mom with this set, because I knew it would also remind her of them. Although this stamp set is retiring this month, I think it will stay in my collection. At least these little girls won't grow up so fast!! I used a little paper piercing on this card to get the design on their dresses. I stamped on DSP and then cut out just the areas I wanted to use and glued them to the stamped image on my card. It is tedious, but I love the effect.</div>

For my stamp set, I chose a hostess set from the catalog called <strong>Happiest Birthday Wishes.</strong> It is a great set with 11 images. I love that with last year's catalog, Stampin Up changed the way hostess dollars can be spent. They give you more of a choice, you can purchase hostess sets or you can spend your hostess dollars on any item in the catalog! My little daisies are from the <strong>Daisies #2 die</strong> that I quickly ran through my <strong>Big Shot</strong>. I ran all 4 pieces of card stock through at the same time, which makes mass production a quick process. This die will stay in my collection after it retires this month, at least until all my little Daisy Girl Scout scrapbook pages are completed!! ENJOY!<br />

For my image, I used the <strong>Sweetheart stamp set</strong> and yes, it is also retiring this month. I added <strong>crystal effects</strong> to the stamped image to add a little shine and then stamp my sentiment from the <strong>Petite Pairs set</strong>. The little brad is from the <strong>2011-2013 In color brad set. </strong>I have been quite busy over the last week in my little craft room and I am enjoying every moment. ENJOY!<br />

I needed a card for an 12 year old boy that loves to play football. I don't have a football stamp, but I used a circle punch once for the circle and then again to crop the circle to make it resemble a football. I am not much of an artist, that is why I love stamps, but I did my best free handing the strips on the football. Hopefully, he will be pleased!<br />

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! I hope you all enjoy your special day! This card is actually a card I made last year as part of a class, but since the <strong>Messages for Mom</strong> stamp is retiring soon, I thought I would share it with you. The DSP is the already retired Greenhouse Gala. This time I used the butterfly embosslit on DSP.</div>

I love the option an A la Carte stamps gives us, especially this one. The <strong>Elizabeth stamp</strong> is only $9.95 and so many sentiments will fit inside. On this card I embossed the image with back embossing powder to give it that simple elegant look. Such a quick, simple card, that can easily be mass produced. Sadly, this stamp is also retiring, so get it NOW! This is one that will definitely stay in my collection!</div>

The sentiment Kindness Matter is so true. So many times we get caught up in our day to day activities and we forget how much a kind word or act can mean to someone and we forget to thank people for being kind. I made 4 of these cards for someone very special to me that is going through a very difficult time. The other day she was telling me how touched she was that people were so helpful and caring to her. I thought maybe she could use these cards to tell those people just how much their kindness meant to her.<br />

Colors: Tempting Turquoise, Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss (retired), Daffodil Delight<br />

It is Teacher's Appreciation Week!! So I wanted to give my girls' teachers a gift card from someplace I know they will use...Starbucks! This is actually a card I made a while back, but I took it apart and added a few different accessaries. I have used this Stamp Set <strong>Flight of the Butterfly</strong> a lot over the last few years, (it was in my starter kit) and I am a little sad to see it retire. If it has been on your list, make sure you order it before May 31st, after then it is gone!!</div>

This year, I was really surprised about how many of these items I use all the time. A little sad to lose some, although as a hobby demonstrator I will continue to hold onto and use the things I love, current or not. I am also excited to see what the new items will be and there will be a lot this year...hope my budget can handle it!!<br />

Okay, for today's card, I used the retiring stamp set <strong>Messages for Mom</strong> and the retiring <strong>DSP Beau</strong> <strong>Chateau</strong>. If you want either of these items, order now, they are only available through May 31st and only while supplies last. I really love this paper. The circle is from <strong>Circle #2 die</strong>, the butterfly is the <strong>Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die</strong> and the texture on the small banner was created using the <strong>Stripes</strong> <strong>Embossing Folder</strong>. All three of these items were quickly ran through my <strong>Big Shot</strong>. To add a little extra, I placed three small <strong>Basic Pearls</strong> down the spine of my little beautiful. I am so glad the <strong>Basic Pearls </strong>and <strong>Rhinestones</strong> are carrying over to the new catalog, I love them.<br />
<br />
This card came together so quickly because I utilized the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2012/05/mojo-monday-240-contest.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Mojo Monday</span></a> sketch for some inspiration. You should check it out! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them! Enjoy!<br />

To pay homage to all the stamps that I have that will be retiring, I am going to make at least one new card with each of them and display them on my blog. <br />
<br />
Now, for today's card!! For a little inspiration, I turned to two of my favorite blogs <a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2012/04/freshly-made-sketches-31-sketch-by-rita.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Freshly</span> <span style="color: magenta;">Made</span> <span style="color: magenta;">Sketches</span></a> and <a href="http://www.colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2012/04/color-throwdown-188.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Color</span> <span style="color: magenta;">Throw</span> <span style="color: magenta;">down</span></a>. I love these two blogs because I can be inspired with both color and a sketch. The two retiring stamp sets I used were <strong>Vintage Vogue</strong> and <strong>Messages for Mom</strong>. I really like both of these sets and have used them plenty. The <strong>Messages for Mom</strong> has so many great sentiments, it will stay in my collection!<br />
<br />

This time I used the jet image. I bought the Well Worn DSP, because I thought it would make great masculine cards. I just haven't had the inspiration to pull it out until now. Thanks to Angela McKay and her awesome card on her blog <a href="http://www.northshorestamper.com/">www.northshorestamper.com</a>, I pulled it out and got to work. I used the same sketch she used, but changed the stamp image. What do you think? Enjoy!<br />

I have been looking for a stamp set that I could use to make some boyish cards and this one is perfect! Not too babyish and not too grown up...although I know some "grown up" men this stamp set would work equally well for. As always with my masculine cards, I like to keep the design simple. <br />
Enjoy!<br />

They can be found on pg 192 of the IB&C. $12.95 for 8 cards and envelopes. You can also by the It's Your Day stamp set that coordinates with the cards or just you a sentiment stamp that you already have in your collection. These cards can be assembled as they come or you can jazz them up a little, as I have done. Think of all the possibilities to replace my number 11. A friend of mine put a die cut butterfly in this space, so cute! The perfect solution when you need a cute, quick card!!<br />

I was, however, able to sneak into my stamp room and create a little this afternoon.<br />
<br />
The card I have to show you today is a thank you card, I actaully made two of these, that will be presented to a couple of police officers who are coming to speak to our Daisy troop tonight. So absolutely, I had to include daisies on this card. The girls signed the inside and I used the Big Shot with the Flower Daisy #2 die and the Sizzlits Many Thanks die. I punched out the flower centers with the 1 1/4", 1" and 1/2" punches. To finish it off, I added a little bling with Rhinestones. These cards are on the large size, simply a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of Bashful Blue card stock scored down the center with the Simply Scored Tool.<br />
<br />
This card was super easy. I love that by having all my Stampin Up supplies on hand, I can make a one of a kind (or in this case, two of a kind) card that is perfect for any occasion.<br />

You will see in this picture, the cupcake has powdered sugar sprinkled on it, but the sugar soaked into the cupcake??? So Plan B...I added sprinkles, white, red and pink. I liked the look of the powdered sugar, but I need to investigate what needs to be done to keep it from disappearing into the cupcake.<br />

When I saw this card set in the Occasions Mini, I instantly thought quick, easy card. I made a card very similar to the example in the catalog, but changed the colors and added some ribbon. I just love the details on this cut image...a classy elegance. This card and envelope set includes two card designs, 8 total and envelopes for $9.95. What a great deal! ENJOY!<br />

I started with <strong>Calypso Coral</strong> card stock. After I ran a piece of <strong>whisper white</strong> card stock through my big shot with the <strong>perfect polka dots embossing folder</strong>, I adhered it to my card base. Then I grabbed my <strong>Enchanted Paper pack</strong> and the <strong>full heart,</strong> <strong>heart to heart punch</strong> and punched out all these cute little hearts. I arranged the hearts, some I adhered directly to the paper and some I popped up with <strong>dimensionals.</strong> I finished the card off with a couple of little flowers punched with the <strong>itty bitty shapes punch pack, </strong>added a few pearls, a little ribbon and a stamped sentiment. <br />
