Who's Back? The Easter chicks are back! These little punch chicks are quick and easy to make and I updated them using the Card Base Pop'n Cuts and the Dress Form Pop' n Cuts.
A pretty simple card front. Isn't it cool how the card closes? I love that the Card Base Pop' n Cuts have these slits and tabs to keep the surprise inside a surprise until you open the card.
I built the flower pot and chicks and then attached it to the dress form. If you want to see how I made the chicks here's a video tutorial I made. The You Tube channel is an old one and I have a new one that the Embossing with 2 Folder video is on, with more videos to come.
Here's the new chick! She's just a baby. I used the 1-1/4" scallop punch to make her and the Bitty Butterfly punch . Hope you enjoyed seeing the chicks again and here's a link to more Easter Chicks.
If you have any questions you know how to find me so don't hesitate to ask.
Hope to stamp with you soon!

It is late so this is going to be a quick post. I haven't used my lattice die in a while so I decided to pull it out and here's what I came up with.
Lots of fun products from the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Here it is in Island Indigo.
If you have any questions about these cards let me know. Ifyou need any stamping supplies please visit my online store! Thank you.
Hope to stamp with you soon!

It is time. Time to get everything tidied up and crossed off the list. Time to write those thank you notes! I have done the fun part of making the cards but need to get them written and in the mail.
Of course you knew I would have to sneak the Bitty Butterfly on the card but I also included a few other things that I got to pre-order from the Occasion catalog. Yes, it is a perk of being a demonstrator after all who doesn’t like to be among the first to play with new stamps and accessories?
Here’s the rundown of what I used.
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Beyond Plaid, Secret Garden
Ink: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Black Stazon
Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP
Punches: Bitty Butterfly, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
Big Shot: Perfect Polka Dot DSP
Accessories: Pearls. Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon
If you have ever thought about becoming a Stampin Up demonstrator 2013 just might be the year for you to join. It cannot hurt to at least think about it and if you have any questions about what it entails or what you need to do, send me an email and let's chat! Enough said, I am now signing off to work on writing my thank you cards. See ya tomorrow!

No you are not seeing things it is the same card just different patterns of the DSP. I had leftover cut pieces of Be of Good Cheer DSP from the Christmas Crafting event in Spokane (what a fun day!) and did not want to waste them. This is a easy card and great to use up all those scraps you have been saving. I will tell you a secret the Real Red and Silver Glimmer paper strips were not long enough to go the width of the card so Santa is covering up a gap.
One last reminder to look at your catalog and get those stamps that have been on your wish list ordered on Monday, October 29th!

I have not played with the Owl Builder punch in a while. I decided I needed to pull it out after seeing this blog post. I knew that I could recreate what she had done using my Stampin Up! products.
I punched the owl and then cut around it leaving about 1/4"around the owl. I attached the owl to the layer just around the head area.
I cut a slit along the branch and slipped the the owl into the slit.
The card is held closed by the cute 1 1/4" scallop punch.
Stamps: Best of Everything, Up, Up, and Away
Ink: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Polka Dot Parade DSP, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Basic Black
Punches: Owl Builder, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle, 1" circle, 2 1/2" Circle
Big Shot: Scallop Squares Duo Bigz die
Extras: Pearls, Rhinestones
Here's looking at you!
Nothing cuter than a little owl to mark my spot.
I am a little behnd in my emails. I am going to catch up today. So, if you have not heard back from me not to worry you will soon! If you have any questions please feel free to email me, post a comment or post on my Facebook page. "Owl" see ya soon!

Yesterday I shared with you my little BOO frame and today I want to show you how I made the bats. You will need the Elegant Butterfly punch, the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, paper snips and some card stock. I am making Baja Breeze bats so you can see the drawn lines a little easier.
Punch out an Elegant Butterfly.
Here is roughly where I punched using the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
THe first punch is the hardest...
Continue on until you have completed punching along one edge of the wing. Repeat on the other side.
Here's how I cut the ears.
Th first cut for the ears is straight down about 1/8" and then a slight angle cut to complete the ears.
Now you can go batty making bats! If you need any of the supplies to make your own battalion of bats contact me and I would be happy to help!

Today is the day when the annual flight of the SU! demonstrator begins to Convention. This year I will not be among those winging their way to the Salt Palace. I will try not to whine too much since it was a choice I made. I make these decisions and then later wonder what was I thinking? Instead I will try and console myself with stamping (what a concept!?!) and organizing.
Stamps: Pursuit of Happiness
Ink: White Craft Ink, Gumball Green
Paper: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Summer Smooches DSP, Polka Dot Parade DSP, In Color Patterns Stack
Punches: Blossom Petals Builder, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle (sneak peek coming in the Holiday catalog), 1" Circle punch, 3/4" circle punch
Big Shot: Perfect Polka Dot folder, Tasteful Trim die, Delicate Designs folder
Extras: White Embossing Powder, Brights Buttons, Brights Brads
In this picture you can see that the front panel is cut shorter and the DSP is actually on the inside of the card. The card measures 4-1/4" x 9-3/4" (not including the white "trim").
Be sure to let me know if you need a Holiday catalog! It is full of really creative new stamps and tools! I did a pre-order and that is what I iwll be playing with this week to console myself!

Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you. I am loving the bright, happy colors and designs in the Summer Smooches DSP pack .
The little house is from the On Board Merry Medley. I debated on whether i should show the card since the On Board Merry Medley is now a retired product but I decided that it is a simple enough shape that you would be able to come up with something similar if you wanted to replicate this card. Here's what I used:
Stamps: Pursuit of Happiness
Ink: Basic Black
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Summer Smooches DSP, Silver Glimmer paper, In Color DSP Paper Stacks
Punch: Owl punch for the little heart
Big Shot: Apothecary Accents Framelits ( pg 191 127003), Tasteful Trim
Extras: On Board Merry Medley, Brights Brads
Here's a super simple punch house. I used a 1" square and another one cut in 1/2. It is a little bigger than the chipboard one but it will work.
A whole row of little houses would make a cute scrapbook page embellishment or card. Hmmm, just might have to do this soon. Thanks for checking in with me and If you have any questions about the new catalog or online ordering or anything else, let me know!
