Busy stamping!!!!

Yesterday, I decided to cut up a bunch of different sizes of DSP and make what is called One Sheet Wonder cards.  I followed the directions given to me, but decided to cut two 12 x 12 sheets of DSP at the same time.  So, I ended up with a boat load of pieces to choose from.

Then, rather than follow the exact examples laid out, I just decided to create my own cards as I was going along.

The above is one of those cards.  I used an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock but scored it lengthwise before cutting it at 4 1/4 lengthwise.  That way, it either folds at the top or at the side.  I chose to have mine opening to the side.

I used Night of Navy card stock, Whisper White card stock and the gorgeous Floral Boutique DSP.

I also used the Fluttering Embossing folder, Bunch of Banners Framelits and Banners For You stamp set. SO EASY!!!

Once all your components are cut out, it's just so easy to create different looking cards using the same DSP and Card stock.  But, yet, they look different.

Here is another one I did using the same cut outs but placing them differently on the card.

Below are the ingredients I used for these and 15 other cards.  I hope to share more in the near future.

If you want to have a full day of creativity, just use the One Sheet Wonder technique to cut out all of your components and then just sit there and play!!

Your desk might end up looking like this.....but it's so much fun!!
Have a great day!!!

Thoughtful Branches

Today is an exciting day, as it's the first day that you can get your hands on the new and limited edition, Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  This bundle is only available this month.  I have a feeling it is going to be a really big seller!!!

If you go to Pinterest, you will see that a lot of demonstrators have already pinned lots and lots of cards using this stamp set.

Here is one idea.

Isn't that just beautiful?  It also uses the new Petal Burst Embossing folder for a background.

And, here is yet another card, using this set!  Very simple, yet elegant.

Can't wait to show you more ideas!!!  Have a great 'creative' day!!!

Fun Butterfly Frame

I had a fun time taking one of my Up Line's classes, yesterday.  We made the beautiful box below. 

Then, we made four cards using the one sheet wonder technique.

I'll share those at a later date!

She had all the components punched out ahead of time for us so once we made our box, it was easy peasy.  All we had to do was score, cut and put together our box using 12 x 12 card stock and then add the designer paper in the middle and then the flowers and butterflies on the sides.

After getting home and making dinner, which consisted of a Tuna Sandwich and chips, (gotta have your priorities straight, right?) I had to sit down to try one of my own before I forgot how we did it, along with a few text messages back and forth with my upline!! :-)

I had to make it in a different color just for fun...and since I had forgotten to stamp the card stock beforehand, I used Designer Series Paper to cover the sides.  Of course, the back is a little bare, but oh well!!

I used the Regals 2015-2017 Designer Series Pack to decorate the sides and the flowers are from the Botanical Builder Framelits.  The butterflies are made using the Butterflies Thinlits.  Then, I added pearls to the flowers and the butterfly! I am already thinking of Christmas with Christmas DSP....oh what fun!!

Below are the products we used to make these adorable frames.  Have a fantastic day!!!

Char

I love my Big Shot and use it almost every time I stamp, whether it  be for cutting out dies or embossing.

Have a great day!!!

Garage Sale Success!!!

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how much stuff one family can accumulate over the years!! We have had several garage sales in the past 10 years in an effort to get rid of things we have packed around for years or accumulated in the past 10 years that we find we no longer 'need'.

As we have gotten older, we have found that life is just simpler with less 'stuff'. Anyway, all of our work over the past few weeks paid off!!  We had a successful garage sale.

The day started out blustery! We couldn't even drag stuff out to the driveway because of the rain.   I guess the rain kept some people from even having their garage sale, so we were swamped for a few hours.  And, we had a steady stream of people throughout the day.  The day went FAST!!!

WHAT FUN!!!!  I always love the actual day of a garage sale because of all the people that you meet...and you learn what they collect, what they are searching for....what they are going to use something for that they just bought (that you didn't think of...lol) and, just everyday chit chat.

By the end of the day, though, we were exhausted!  But, a good exhausted! :-)

One more garage sale next month, with a friend, in another city,....and hopefully, I'll sell more of my stamping supplies....(a lot of the other stuff that is left is going to be donated to a pet shelter thrift store).

Now, to get my Granddaughter's Wedding invitations finished by the end of June, plan a retreat for September AND, I am starting up classes again.

So stay tuned!!

Have a great day!!!

And, remember to Paws N Stamp!!

Hugs,
Char

And, yet another garage sale...sigh AND a Good deal from SU for JUNE

Ok, have fun looking sideways...lol.  I tried and tried to fix this photo to no avail.
Once again, we are having another garage sale.  Most of the stamps and rubber stamping supplies are from my demonstrator days with The Angel Company. I was with them for 11 years.  I have hung on for too long to all the stamps I just knew I would use again.  HELLO???  I haven't and especially not since becoming a SU demonstrator almost 3 years ago.

I keep asking myself, "Why do you keep doing this?"  Why?  Because each year, I get rid of more stamps and this year....I slashed the prices down to about .50 cents a CD case.  WAY, WAY, WAY less than their original cost.  They are all unmounted.  But, heck, the CD case has to be worth at least .10cents, right? LOL

I also am selling some SU sets that are retired and some other crafting supplies.

Then, there are the household things and a beautiful king size headboard and foot board.  I hate to get rid of it, but we just downsized to a queen bed.  I just want our garage back to park cars in.....imagine that!!!

And, since my wrist is doing so much better, and I am able to stamp once again, I am planning on starting up classes again, really soon!!!

Hopefully, I will start blogging more, too!  I just haven't had anything to share as I haven't stamped hardly at all in 6 months.

Wanted to let everyone know that through the month of June, if you have a workshop or spend $350 in one order, you qualify for an extra $35 dollars in hostess rewards!!  That is an AWESOME deal!!!  The offer ends June 30th at 10:50 pm MT.

Read about it here.  Scroll down where it says Extra Stamping Rewards.

Have a great day!!!
