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 

 

Merry Christmas!

I am so thankful for all of you, my stamping friends, my clients, and especially my stamp club members who have become dedicated, and loyal friends. I want to take the time to wish you and your family a wonderful Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year! Thank you for your business, for your creative ideas, and for your inspiration in allowing me to do what I love! Merry Christmas!

Here's an embossed envelope and a matching Christmas card for you!

 
I used Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso cardstock, Victorian Lace ribbon, Snowflake Punch and the Scallop Edge Border Punch. The Vanilla cardstock was embossed with the Finial Press Embossing Folder and the Big Shot, and then sponged with Early Espresso around the edge. I added some adhesive Rhinestones, and a stamped image from the Word Play stamp set in Artichoke ink, punched out with the Curly Label Punch.

And here's a matching banner that I made for below my fireplace mantle.

 

I added some letters cut out on the Big Shot, and some Hemp Twine to string it along.

 

Merry Christmas to each of you, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
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!

Mother's Day gift

Hi everyone! I am back from the Stampin' Up Cruise, and over the coming week or so, I will be sharing some pics from my fabulous trip!

For now, here's a cute Mother's Day idea using the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up, as well as the gorgeous Cottage Wall designer paper set.

You can easily make a little booklet by binding together a bunch of pages from the Top Note Die, using a binding system like Bind-It-All. The little booklet can fit inside the matching purse.

I added a mini lunch bag (from the dollar store) for the inside of the purse, and topped it with a Scallop Circle, with a little zelcro to close it.  

Inside the booklet, you can write all the things you love about her!

To learn more about how to make projects like this one, join my Stamp Club, and get products to keep, ideas to inspire, and free stuff to smile about! Contact me today to join my monthly club!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Hybrid Scrapbook Page

Here's a scrapbook page that I made using both Digital Scrapbooking, and Traditional Scrapbooking. This method is called Hybrid Scrapbooking. It makes the process so much faster, still gives you texture and dimension, and makes alot less waste!

I made the photo part on My Digital Studio (#118108 $106.95), and printed it onto 81/2 X  11 white cardstock on my home printer. You can view a video I made for creating this page on my YouTube channel here.

Then I added some stamped images and some embellishements.

The colors I used are: Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. And the stamp set was "I heart Hearts". To make the large letters, I cut those our with the Simple Alphabet Dies on my Big Shot. All materials Stampin' Up.

I hope this inspires you to try Hybrid Scrapbooking!

happy creating!

Merry Christmas!

Here's a snapshot of the teachers Christmas gifts we made this year for my kids teachers.

I got these pails from a local scrapbook shop, and added designer paper from the Christmas Cocoa set, along with 5/8 Real Red grosgrain ribbon, and Soft Suede polkadot ribbon.

I cut out the circle on top using my Circle Scissors Plus. We also added a Whisper White snowflake using the Snowflake Punch, and a tag made with the Christmas Punch stamp set, Real Red and Soft Suede markers, and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch.

We popped in some home-baked goodies, and a gift card, and off the kids went to deliver them! I think these pails would make really cute Valentine's gifts too!

Wishing you all a wonderful Merry Christmas!

Thanks for popping by!

Pretty Window Card

I received this pretty swap card at the Stampin' Up Convention. It is made using the Melon Mambo cardstock, and some tule in the window, on either side of the Pretties flower.

Pretties are so pretty!

It was made by Diana Keith. Thanks for looking!

Happy Stamping,

Jo-Ann

 

Wild About You....

Here's another 4X4 card I made, also using the Wild About You stamp set. This one was pretty simple, and I like that I could make it quickly. 

I used the Wild About You stamp set, the Scallop Circle Punch, and the new Wide Oval Punch . The little lion was stamped in Chocolate Chip, and also in Bashful Blue, on Whisper White, and I cut out the pieces and glued him together. I also popped up some of the layers with Dimensionals. I love that little lion! Isn't he cute?

Have a great day!

Altered Notebook

Well, I have been using one of my kids old school duo-tang books as a bank deposit book for some time now, and I have to say, it was well used! Just looking at it was getting on my nerves, so I decided instead of buying a new folder, I would spruce it up a bit!

Here's how it turned out. Instead of trying to figure out how to cover up the spine, I just incorporated that color into my theme. (You can still see the purple duo-tang poking out the side)....

 

I covered it (front and back) using Old Olive prints patterned paper, and a gluestick, then tied some Twill Tape around the front cover, adding some 1 1/4" Pink Pirouette grosgrain ribbon in the middle of the knot. The focal image is stamped on Very Vanilla using Priceless (still one of my favorite stamp sets!) in Old Olive and Lovely Lilac classic inks from Stampin' Up. I backed that with some Very Vanilla and Lovely Lilac cardstocks. I also cut out additional butterflies and flowers and popped them up with Dimensionals.

 

Even though it is still an old book, it only took me about 15 minutes to make it prettier, and I am soooo much happier doing my paperwork now :) I smile everytime I take it out!

Another Boy Scrapbook Page!

Here's another one of my favorites I made at my Stamping Weekend Retreat.

(You can click these to see a larger version.)

These pages are made using a Simply Scrappin Kit (now retired). I love to use those, as they make such fast pages, and they ALWAYS look GOOD! I like things that are so easy. I often use the ideas that come in the kit, and just copy them, or alter them to my liking. They are great for inspiration!

To check out our current selection of Simply Scrappin Kits available, you can go to my website, and click on Shop Now in the top right corner. Type in "Scrappin" in the Search field, then click the Category drop-down arrow and select "Simply Scrappin". There are some beautiful kits here, and they are only $23.95! Here's what they include:

■ Each Kit contains
8 sheets of 12" x 12" textured card stock
6 sheets of 12" x 12" patterned paper
6 sheets of 6" x 12" self-adhesive die-cuts

You can make TONS of scrapbook pages, cards and other gift items with one kit! And right now, when you place an order thru my website, you will get a FREE IDEA BOOK sent to you along with your order!

Have a great day!
