Valentine decorations for me!

Well I went a little nuts with this paper from the Love you much bundle-I recovered a couple ugly valentine signs I picked up on sale and then made this heart bouquet and these new owl die cuts-so cute-made the phrase with the calendar alphabet!  Super fun!

Banner for Valentine's Day

This is a banner I made for my front bench for Valentine's Day.  The paper is retired Stampin' Up, the brads are SU flower brads, three heart punch, and chunky glitter, I cut off the scallop edge and flipped it over to the other side sliding it up a bit, I cut it out in DSP and layered on retired Pomegranate Card stock.

Hybrid Page

This is a hybrid page.  I edited the picture in photoshop and added the embellishment phrase that was purchased on line-I added journalling and printed the rest is paper and felt(felt flowers by SU) used crcuit for letters and scallop flower background embellishments.  

Digital Scrapbook Page

So Stampin' Up will be releasing digital scrapbook software later this year-the buzz is all about what is this and how does it work-so this is a fully digital page.

This is a little chipboard Album for the third in the series of classes I'm doing with the Love you Much Bundle.  The pictures seem to be in reverse order-guess I should have posted the last page first-etc... live and learn!  I used words and such from a bunch of different sets-now they are all over my craft table!  I wonder if they will ever find their ways home?  The cover is embossed with craft ink and clear powder-Everything is SU except the chipboard itself.

Coaster Calendar

Hi -I haven't posted in over a week-I just seem to have a hard time keeping up the week we go out to New Mexico to visit my DD.  I made this right before we left for my Kids crafts class.  Unfortunately no one signed up, I will be making a bunch to give as gifts-I hope if I have time.  I have so many things I'd like to make and so little time.  So hopefully I'll get my blog rounds done soon and get to enjoy everyone else's creations as well.  The Christmas countdown has begun and we all are rushed I'm sure-so thanks for looking and enjoy the process!  All products are SU! except the calendar.

Table-Top Nativity

Here is a project I'm planning for a class this month-it can be either a card or a table top decoration-or both.  It fits in the Small Open End envelope and uses Windsor knot DSP.  I used Chocolate Chip Ink on Sage Shadow Paper.  The Paper is 6" high and each panel is 3.25" wide.  I am going to make these to send to a few special people in my life, I really hope some customers sign up for this class.

WALL HANGINGS

These are small wall hangings I made-all SU products except the wood they are on.  They we very quick and easy, both are watercolored with watercolor crayons and aqua painter.  I drilled the holes and just hammered in the eyelets they couldn't be set but they aren't going anywhere.

Christmas countdown

Here is my countdown to Christmas, I used an oval plaque from the craft store and wooden ovals, the edge is painted with crackle paint-this was my first experience with that.  It was a bit of a pain the wood had to be sanded, sealed then painted. The oval is about 20x12 so I had to use two sheets of DSP to cover the front. The edge of the oval is beveled so I couldn't trace it-I rubbed a lead pencil around the curves to make a line to cut-then made a rough cut, pasted the paper down the used a craft knife to remove the overage.  I then sanded and distress the edge.  The little dots in the vinyl didn't stick to the backing and I had to pick each one off the transfer paper-ugh!  the black stand is from that giant store that has every thing and was $3.89 or so.  This is an amazing project much cuter in person, it did add up to be about $45.00 to make.  The plaque was about 11.80 with coupon, decor element 24.95, paint, sealer, paper, little ovals were 3.25.  I still have to make the rest of the numbers-so I had better finish this!

Stamp-a-Stack



These are the five cards for The Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack.  I have changed the Mr. Twigster card since the initial draft-I like this one much better.  I hope you do too!  These cards will hopefully be simple enough to finish quickly 3 of each.

One more for This Thanksgiving

Here is one more water colored card from this stamp set-this one is my favorite-it does use retired ribbon but the ribbon matches this current paper so nice!
