Mosaic Madness

 
Hi Stampers!
Today's card uses the brand new Mosaic Madness stamp set!  And madness it is! This is the trendy new look for this year, and people everywhere are into Mosaics!

The Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder was used for the background, on Strawberry Slush cardstock (also new!)  I stamped the images in Chocolate Chip and  Strawberry Slush, and punched them out with the new Mosaic Punch! So easy! The base cardstock is Sahara Sand.

I also punched a window through the front of the card, and place a strip of the Mosaic window sheet that is included in the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Paper over top. 

Don't you just love mosaics?

P.S. If you want to get a 15% discount, you can get the Mosaic Madness Bundle (includes the Modern Mosaic stamp set and Mosaic Punch)

Baby Pinwheels

Well, I was in a mood to create something cutesy! I am running low on baby cards in my Card Box, so it was time to come up with a few. 

I used the new Pinwheel Sizzlet to cut these out really quickly. The colors are Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Old Olive. 

I find it easiest when using the Pinwheel Sizzlet to NOT use the little holes that are there. I just use Snail Adhesive to glue every second corner into the centre, overlapping them as I go. Then, make a hole using the Paper Piercer and Foam Pad, and put a brad through the centre.

Here are the other Stampin' Up products used:

Tea Lace Paper Doilies

Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set (retiring)

Versamark ink

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Heat and Stick Powder

Mini Silver Brads

Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack

2 1/2" circle punch

3" circle die

Hope you like my Baby card today!

Happy Stamping!

A Round Array

Hello Stampers! This card was made using the new A Round Array Stamp set, and the 7/8" scallop circle punch. So cute!

The colors I used are Pool Party (one of my faves!), and Crumb Cake. The embossing on the bottom layer is the Vines Embossing Folder, and the pretty brad in the middle is the new Designer Build A Brad. 

Here's the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Inspired

Here is a pretty one-layer card set that we created at Stamp Club recently, and I wanted to share them with you.

The colors used are Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry, so pretty together. We used the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, and some cardstock as a mask for the sponging.

We made the holder using the Diagonal Scoring Plate and the Simply Scored Tool, Pool Party cardstock cut into 8 1/2 X 8 1/2, and the Sale-A-Bration Designer paper from this year. 

Here, we made a mask using a scrap piece of cardstock and the 2 1/2" circle punch, covered our Confetti White cardstock base with it, and stamped and sponged inside the circle. 

We did the same type of masking here, but used an "L" shaped piece of cardstock to protect the embossed edge.

These pretty little butterflies were inked and stamped using the Rock and Roll technique. I used the Tulip Frame embossing folder to emboss the envelopes before stamping them.

Hope you like these cards with a taste of Spring!
Happy Stamping!

Heart Pouch project

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share with you the heart pouch I made recently.

 

It is made using the new Petal Cone Die, and the Fun Flowers Die, both found in the Occasions Mini Catalogue. My friend, Pamela, and I made 25 of these for swaps for a recent Stampin' Up seminar!

I used Always Artichoke cardstock for the base, cut 2 out with the Petal Cone Die, and then ran them through the Polka Dot embossing folder. I adhered the two pieces together with Sticky Strip, and added some designer Paper, and 1/8" Marina Mist ribbon. The flowers were cut out of Marina Mist cardstock, (thanks to Sher and Alexa for the help:)), then embossed with the Polka Dots and Vintage Wallpaper embossing folders, and added a Big Button and some Linen Thread.

 

It makes a cute little pouch, perfect for a package of homemade cookies, or some flavored tea, made just to brighten a friend's day!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Jo-Ann

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends out there! I hope you had a wonderful weekend visiting with friends and family, and eating TURKEY! I know we did....

Here's a card I made for my female family members at our Thanksgiving Dinner! I had a bunch of scraps left over from my Stamp Club make & take last week, and I wanted to stick with the same color combination (Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Early Espresso.)

 

I stamped the Autumn Harvest stamps in Early Espresso, and masked each one before I stamped the others over top.  I then used my Watercolor Crayons and an Aquapainter to color them in, and blend the colors. The printed paper is the Peach Parfait Designer Prints, and I added some vanilla Half-Back Pearls from the Pretties Kit with Mini Glue Dots at the end. (The Pretties Kit is on sale in my Online Store!) In the pic, the background is my counter-top, not paper----sorry about that:))

So much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Haitian Relief

I just received this note from Stampin Up, and wanted to pass it along to you....

Haitian Disaster Relief
January 21, 2010

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.

Here is what we are going to do:

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set purchased will be donated to American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount  (block D recommended)	118571	$24.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$35.95

This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets we sell, the greater the difference you make. Often it is the simplest plans that work best!

To help out with this fundraiser for Haiti, you can place an order online thru my website at www.stampinwithjoann.stampinup.net (click Shop Now) or you can email me at stampinwithjoann@shaw.ca. Stampin' Up will send us a total of money raised at the end of February, and I will share that total with you! Help us make a difference, and you'll enjoy some creativity at the same time!

Here is the "I {Heart} Hearts" stamp set. It also co-ordinates with the Trio Heart Punch! 

Place your order today, and help me help Haiti.
