Spice Cake collection

OK Ladies... I am in LOVE!!!!   I just got my demonstrator order that included a whole bunch of  new goodies from the Holiday Mini Catalogue that is available for ordering from on September 01.  Wowie!  I think that I may have just found my new favourite colour combination, straight from the new Spice Cake collection which includes DSP and Fabric.  More Mustard, Pool Party, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  Very Very Cool!
I used my new Have a Seat stamp set to make this little place card holder for the Thanksgiving table.  Pop a few after dinner sweets inside (oh...or maybe some pumpkin fudge!)  and there you have a cute little way to pretty up the table.
Happy Stampin'

Sour Cream Container

Hello Everyone....
I finally got my August edition of the Stampin' Success magazine... it is another great perk of being a demonstrator...we recieve one issue per month and it is jammed full of inspiration.  There was an article that showed these quick and easy treat holders, I think I might have to make a bowl of these to have on hand during the Christmas holidays.  These would also make a great favour for weddings, birthday parties, etc...  And the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper is such great paper to work with when folding, not a rip anywhere!  I also used my Sticky Strip (the stampin version of duct tape!), which I always use when making 3D items to make sure that all of my hard work sticks!

This sweet little  Christmas treat is made from DSP from the Beau Chateau pack,  Very Vanilla seam binding.

Happy Stampin!

Beau Chateau

I played along with Mojo Monday again tonight, so much fun to have a sketch in front of you to getting your brain going!  This one was made from the Beau Chateau DSP that I am having so much fun playing with... come to think of it, I need to stock up my soft suede cardstock so that I can keep making more!

Happy Stampin!

Mojo Monday Sketch Play Along

Hello Stampers....
I have found myself stuck this past week, throwing most of my stamping projects in the recycle bin because I just couldn't make a thing that I liked.  So I zipped over to the Mojo Monday blog for a little sketch inspiration.  I followed the sketch, added my own papers and embellishments and stamps, and voila!  Something I am proud of.... I'll have to hold on to this one until the fall, as I know about a trillion people having babies in November.

And a close up....

If you are wondering where the little words "Cherish every moment"  came from, its from the Beau Chateau DSP, I just trimmed the saying! 

Also... if you haven't already heard, Designer Series Paper is on Sale for the month of August... order 3 packs and get the fourth for FREE!  Order online or contact me directly!

Happy Stampin!

Sweet Little Surprise!

I opened the curtains this morning to find a little present from Stampin' Up!.  There are so many great perks to being a demonstrator, one of them being an incredible amount of FREE merchandise.  I wanted this set as soon as I saw it in the new catalogue, but hadn't ordered it yet!  Yeah me, now I don't have to! 

My friends are expecting their second baby, and just found out that its a bouncing baby boy!  I thought I would drop this little card by there house this weekend as a congrats!  and of course, I used my new stamp set.  The cow jumping over the moon is from Nursery Suite. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!

Birthday Weekend

Hello Everyone,
A quick post tonight, we didn't get home until 8 30., and then I had to make two cards for a triple birthday party we are going to tomorrow.  PRESSURE!  hahaha..  here are the pics.

Here's a little thing I learned tonight... I needed something to catch the extra glass glitter for around my happy birthday frame (adhered using  Crystal Effects)  and I was in too much of a hurry to dig out my powder pals catcher, so I grabbed one of the extra scallop envelopes I had laying on the table.  It worked perfectly and was so cute.  I think my next group of stampers that need a "catcher"  may each get one of these.  fun!

Lollipop Scallop Envelope

Hello Everyone. 
I am starting to think about birthday party favours...Addisyn's birthday is only a couple of weeks away..Yikes :)
There is a new candy store in town, Sugar Connection, and I surprised the kids with a little trip there for being so good while we were downtown.  I eyed up this cute old fashioned Lollipop and NEEDED one to create with.  This is what I came up with.

I ran the scallop envelope die through the Big Shot twice, once with Pacific Point Cardstock, and one with Patterned Paper.  I trimmed the DSP to fit inside the blue one.  I used the Word Window Punch to create the slot for the lollipop to sit in.  The banner is made from the brand new set Pennant Parade. 

Thanks for stopping by!
