Bloom and Grow #2!

Here is another card I made with the Bloom and Grow Bundle. I used the See A Silhouette Designer Series Papers.
This is a fun fold card and you tie it closed with a ribbon. I have used the 3/8" Crushed Curry Seam Binding Ribbon. This ribbon is very pretty but for some reason the seam binding ribbons are very staticy and like to stick to your fingers.
For the greeting I die cut it out with the Stitched Label Dies. I love any dies that are stitched but this set has some cool shapes for all kinds of greetings or labels.

Bloom & Grow Bundle!

So my Celebrate the Annual Catalog event is coming up on March 21st. I am using all products (mostly) out of the annual catalog because I tend to neglect it most of the year when the Mini and Holiday catalogs are out.

So I have picked 6 bundles, for the 6 projects we will be doing. I am trying to make three projects with each bundle. Although I have to admit I do get sidetracked once in awhile when I am browsing Youtube or Pinterest. 

So far I have made 3 sets of cards from 3 different bundles.  First I will be showing the projects I made using the Bloom and Grow bundle. I have been wanting to use this every since the Annual Catalog came out last June.

This card is using one of the flowers cut out with the matching die. There are 3 different flowers in this set. I have used the Brights Designer Series Papers and then I colored some of the Silver Metallic Edged ribbon with a matching color.

I love this ribbon because you can make it match whatever project you are working on. It comes in the Silver Metallic which is white and also Gold Metallic which is cream with the gold edge.

They look gorgeous in whatever color you use them with. Just take a marker water based or alcohol and you can die them. Or you can use a spritzer or just soak them in a little water with ink in it.

Lots of possibilities.

So I will be showing my other two projects using this bundle over the next couple of days.

If you would like to order any of these products you can visit my online store by clicking here.

Also if you would like a catalog to see these awesome products in person just leave me a comment and let me know.

Another Cute Project!

Isnt this just the cutest little project ever?!! The lipstick is a pen. What you can't see is that the bottom of the lipstick pen is lined with rhinestones.
I found this tutorial on pinterest and she didn't use the rhinestone pens. So my pen is a little bit of a tight fit. But in the tutorial hers was a little loose so she put glue dots on the bottom of the pen to keep it in. You definitely don't have to do that with these pens. I am thinking of changing the dimensions a little to give the pen just a little more room.
If you would like to see the tutorial for this pen you can see it here.  The original creator of this adorable project is the Paper Pixie. She has some great projects and a whole YouTube channel.

The papers used on this project are from the Best Dressed Designer Series papers. These are my favorites. They are 6 x 6.  Also I have used Purple Posy cardstock and TriColor Ribbon.

If you would like to order any of these products, they are available at my online store found here .

Valentines Gift Bag!

Do you ever need a gift bag at the last minute but dont have time or just dont want to run to the store??

I know you could get a really cute one at the Dollar store but sometimes you just dont have the time to go.

Thats the way I felt this morning. I was getting some stuff together for a fun little Valentines gift and thought I really need a cute little bag. I have a stash of white bags but they were just too big.

So I thought I have some Valentines paper I need to use up so I will just make one. What dimensions do I need and I cant remember how I made them in the past. Then I remembered that Inspiring Inkin in the UK had a video or two with multiple size bags so I looked her up and found a size that I liked.

I was going to just have a plain bag and then I remembered some leftover die cuts and punched images I had leftover after making samples for my Valentines class and decided to add them to the bag.

I think it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. I was going to use up some fun Christmas ribbon I had left over for the handles. It went really well with these papers but I had to punch the holes too big to get the ribbon thru and then they pulled right out. So I had some long strips leftover from my papers and decided to make my handles with them. I think the strips were 2" strips so I folder them in half for extra strength and added them to the bag.

What do you think??

Slider Card!

I found a card like this on Pinterest and she was selling a tutorial. But you had to go to Facebook to get it. Since I was hacked last year I deleted my Facebook account. I emailed her about purchasing a tutorial not a Facebook and never heard back from her.
So I went onto YouTube and found a tutorial. Lots of them actually! Isnt YouTube awesome!!! So here is my Slider Card. It was a fun card to make but you have to get your cuts just right to make the slider. My slider is a little wobbly. I followed a 2nd YouTube tutorial I watched and think next time I might make it a little different like the first tutorial. She included one more step. But she's from the UK and their regular sized card is a little bigger than ours so that's why I didn't go with hers.
But its just a slider card so if you want to make one just do a search on YouTube and you will find quite a few!
I have used Graces Garden for this card. I just love this set and feel it has so much potential. I have also used the Crackle Background stamp.
If you would like to purchase any of these awesome products I would love for you to order from my online store here.
If ordering online please use host code NWXZVCXC for any orders under $150. If ordering over $150 you will get host rewards. And don't forget your free Sale A Bration items with orders of $50 or 150.

Another Coordination Die Set!

This card is made using the Natures Thoughts dies that just came out yesterday in the Coordination Product Release. These great dies are while supplies last. Last year they went quickly so get them soon before they are gone.
This die set matches the Positive Thoughts stamp set. There is a pizza box decorated in the mini catalog with this stamp set. I wanted to make it but didn't want to fussy cut out the flowers. Then when I saw there was a matching die set coming I was so excited. So this is my version of the card in the catalog.
I have also used an Embossing Folder I just received out of the annual catalog that I liked to give it a little more dimension. This embossing folder is the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder.

Special Someone!

I just love Raccoons. I think they are the cutest thing ever. Maybe I inherited this from my Mom. When I was little I was sick all the time and got pulled out of school. So when I was home my Mom and I would go for long walks in the woods. We lived on a big ranch. My Mom was always trying to trap a Raccoon for a pet. She loved them too!
This little guy is from the Special Someone stamp set in the new Mini catalog. I was so excited when Stampin Up announced their Coordination Product Release going live on February 4th. Just a few days away. So you can get matching dies for this cute little stamp set. In this set is the cute little Raccoon, a little squirrel, and a little mouse. Plus some balloons, flowers and great greetings. The coordinating dies have all the little critters plus balloon and flower dies and a little quote shape die.
They are all awesome!
