Homemade

This little bag uses another sheet of Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper. I used the Homemade stamp with Pear Pizzaz ink for the center and punched it out with the 1 3/4 circle punch. It is layered on a Pumpkin Pie Extra Large Scalloped Circle. I used a mini library clip to hold everything together. This will be a great project to make for the holiday season with some festive colors.

Sweet Centers Balloon

This card uses another stamp from the Sweet Centers stamp set. The designer series paper I used is from the new Idea Book & Catalog. When I saw this paper, I knew that it would be perfect as the balloon in this set. The cardbase is Baja Breeze. I wheeled the houses at the bottom in the same color ink to give it a subtle effect.

Sweet Centers

Do you remember this stamp set form the Holiday Mini last year? I absolutely LOVE it. Well, it has made it into the new Idea Book and Catalog. This set coordinates with the Sweet Treat Cups and the 1 3/4" circle punch. For this project I actually used the 1 3/8" circle punch, that's why it has the white ring around the hole. I found that the other hole was too big for the lollipops. One thing that makes me sad about this project is that the Double Rectangle punch used to make the slits for the ribbon is on the Retiring List. I guess I'll just have to tie the ribbon around the stick at the top now. The double rectangle punch reminds me of my wedding invitations. We used the rectangular slits to tie the printed vellum to the textured cardstock. I can't believe we picked those out 12 years ago. Wow, how time flies.

Computer Crash! Arg!
Well, it finally happened. Our home computer crashed. Poor thing couldn't even recognize Windows. I have been diligently making new projects and taking pictures. I was hoping to post a picture today but I'm still trying to figure out the programs on the netbook. For the next little while, my pictures will not be cropped and won't have the copyright mark on them. Just know that everything I post is a Stampin' Up! product unless otherwise noted. I am really looking forward to shopping for a new computer. If I'm lucky, we'll get a new tower for home and I'll get a laptop for my Stampin' Up! business. Keep your fingers crossed!

Second in the 8 Great Greetings Series

These cards are very simple. I tend to use clean lines when designing. I made these a-year-and-a-half ago (before I purchased my Big Shot). If I were re-doing these, I would probably add a little texture to the mats underneath the circles. The C in congratulations is puched with 2 different punches. After stamping in Not Quite Navy, I punched out the entire image and then punched out the inside. The notch was cut free-hand.

Bella Bleu Bag in a Box

This is one of my first Bag in a Boxes. They make great treat bags. I made a few of them at Christmas for Alex's teachers with candy and a gift card inside. I used the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper here. I absolutely LOVE this paper. I think that is has a simple elegance. This DSP will be retiring this month. It had a good run, though. All of the colors in this paper series will continue in the new catalog with one little change. Kraft paper will soon be known as Crumb Cake. I am so excited about this. In July, we will offer a Crumb Cake ink pad and marker to coordinate with the cardstock!

Another Happy Heart

Here is another card I made with the Happy Heart set. The bad news is that after June 30th this stamp set and the black gingham ribbon will be gone. (The wheel I used on this card retired last June.) The good news is that the Pink Pirouette and the Baja Breeze on this card will be RETURNING in July, woo hoo!

Last Chance Favorites

The Last Chance List came out yesterday. Some of my go-to stamp sets are on the list. So, I've decided to pay homage to them by posting my favorite cards and projects.
This card uses the retiring Just Jawing set. The stars and ribbon are Bermuda Bay, which is also leaving us. If you think this card looks familiar, you're right. For one of my demonstrator challenges I was to copy a card directly from the catalog. You wil find it on page 83 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.
