CHRISTMAS TIN & TAGS

Hi Stampers!

I'm back! And today I am going to share with you the project that we're going to be doing on Monday at my Christmas Tags Class. We are going to use the Jolly Bingo Bits set and make one tag per stamp.....so a total of 24 tags!!!! I made them pretty simple so that we could get them all made in a reasonable amount of time. Then I bought a bunch of those tins from the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack....it is PERFECT for storing the tags until they are put to use on Christmas presents!

Here's the tin.....
Here are pictures of the tags.....I think I pretty much got them all in the pictures
It's not too late to sign up....just let me know by Sunday so that I can have your supplies all cut and ready for you.
Cost for the class is only $10 with a $10 SU order (before shipping & tax).

If you live out of town and are interested in purchasing a kit for this tin and tags set.....I am selling them for $20, with FREE shipping (US only). For the kit, I will cut and punch what you need.....you will have to supply the stamping.

Well, that's it for me today.....have a GREAT day!!!

Until next time, find some

time for stamping!!

Blessings......Cindy

OWL CLASS CARD #3

Hey Stampers!

Thanks for popping in! We had a very relaxing and FUN weekend....the best part was that Steve had the weekend off!!!

On Saturday, we went to the annual Scottish Highland Games and Festival in a nearby town. We watch some Scottish competition.....which seemed to all involve throwing something big and heavy......there was stone throwing, hammer throwing, log throwing, ball and chain throwing (not sure exactly what this event was called, but the ball and chain sure looked heavy!), we watched some Scottish dancing competitions, listened to some Celtic musicians, and watched some Scottish military exercises where they shot guns and then shot a big gatling gun (this was Andy's favorite part)....Here's Andy by the gatling gun
Here's the soldiers as they marched out for their exhibition....
We had a great time just walking around and looking at everything.

Ok, now to stamping!

I wanted to share with you the third project that we will be making at my Owl Punch Class on October 4th. This card was inspired by a card by Kari that I saw on Stampin' Connection....it is a website for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to post their work....it has become my absolute FAVORITE site to go to for inspiration.
I started with a 1/2 sheet of Bashful Blue card stock and then took a 1/4 sheet of Soft Suede card stock and cut parts of it off to make the branch. Then using Whisper White craft ink I used the Woodgrain background stamp to make the tree. While the tree was drying, on scrap I punched the template for the sky.....I used the scalloped circle and the scalloped oval punches....then using a sponge dauber just sponged the sky, moving the templates around where ever I wanted a cloud. Using the two-step bird punch, I punched out just the leaves. Then I popped their entire tree up with dimensionals. I assembled my owl (he's on dimensionals too) and stamped my sentiment using the Thankful For set and that was it!

I didn't take a picture of the inside.....but I sponged more clouds on inside and used the "you, you, you" from the Three Little Words stamp set. I love how it turned out!!!

I'll leave you with a sweet picture of the kittens......I now think they believe the fountain to be their bunk beds.

Until next time, find some

time for stamping!!

Blessings......Cindy

ANOTHER AWASH and SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!!

Hi Stampers,

I can hardly believe it!!! School starts TOMORROW!!! Even though summer isn't officially over for awhile.....once school starts, it feels like summer is over. I'm not sure I'm ready for them to start back to school though! I'm gonna really miss those punks of mine!!! Ahhhh....I'm feeling all sentimental again!!
Just so you know....they don't quite share my sentimentality.....they are all pumped and ready to go. Here's a picture of them while we were on vacation this summer......Don't they seem YOUNG!!! Gosh!! 8th graders!!!
What cornballs!!!
This is how they passed the time in the car.....trying to kill one another and
taking TONS of crazy pictures!
OK...enough about them.

The card that I'm going to show you today is another card that we'll be making at my stamp class on Saturday. The card's base is Whisper White and it is topped with a piece of Brights Patterns DSP Stack (Melon Mambo). I used the corner rounder punch on both the card base and the DSP. I stamped on a Top Note (die cut with the "can-a-card-be-made-without-it" Big Shot). I then stamped the 2 big flowers again on Whisper White card stock and cut out the images and adhered them using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from a retired set (sorry...the names escapes me at the moment) and punched with the 1" circle punch and layered using the 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" circle punches.
Easy-Peasy!!!
Well, I better go and get those kids of mine to bed so that they will be all rested and ready for their big day tomorrow.

Until next time, find some

time for stamping!!

Blessings......Cindy

Hi Stampers,

The card that I'm going to share with you today is one that we will be making this Saturday at my "Awash with Flowers" stamp class.
The card's base is Daffodil Delight....which is quickly becoming one of my favorite colors!!! Then I used the always perfect Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder on a piece of Whisper White....around which I tied with 3/8" Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon (very pretty stuff!!). I accented with Tempting Turquoise cardstock and also stamped the flower outline with Tempting Turquoise ink. The sentiment is from the Define Your Life stamp set and it is stamped with Basic Black. Very simple....and sweet!

Stayed tuned......I will be offering some card kits for sale shortly!!!

I better go....school starts on Thursday, so we are on a count down to get some much needed things done before then.

Until next time, find some

time for stamping!!

Blessings......Cindy

CLASS CARD ~ FLOWER

Hi Stampers!

Well, since I am barely able to look at my previous post.....I thought I better put something else on here so that I don't get teary whenever I look at my own blog.

Today, the card I have to share with you is one that I made at stamp class a couple of weeks ago. It uses the With All My Heart stamp set and the Extra Large Fancy Flower punch from the Occasions Mini....this card was so super easy to make it wasn't even funny.
I plan to make this card again....maybe for one of my clubs.

Well....that's it for me today....I hope you have a GREAT weekend. I doubt that I will be able to post over the weekend, but hopefully will get back on Monday.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!

Blessings...........Cindy

SUNFLOWERS

Hey Stampers!

Hope you're having a good week!

Here is the other card that I made at class.....again...mostly punches. Super easy....yet SUPER cute!!
Do you see the spritzing?? I love that thing!

The flowers are made using the scallop circle punch and then cutting each scallop....the centers are made with the 1" circle punch and then embossed using the polka dot folder that is in the Ocassions Mini, as is the Shades of Spring dsp. The chocolate chip background is embossed using the same folder. The card's base is a half sheet of certainly celery. Soooo Cute!!! I can't help myself.....I'm going to do this card at my April stamp club too!! ;-)

Well, that's it for me today.....Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Happy {Bird} Day

Hey Stampers,

I am TRYING to be better at being consistent in my blogging....but it seems to be the first thing that goes to the wayside when my days get busy.....but I will keep trying!!

The card I'm sharing with you today is one that we did in stamp class. I probably say this about all the cards I do there....but this is one of my favorites :-) In fact, we are doing this card at my stamp club in April. Isn't it cute!!!!
This card was made pretty much with all punches.....and then they were stamped using the woodgrain background stamp. The birdhouses are made using the large tag and the photo corner punches....the "hole" is made with the 1/2" circle punch......the bird with the 2 step bird punch that is in the current Occasions Mini catalog. The fence is 1/2" strips of close to cocoa card stock. The sentimnt is the Level 1 hostess stamp set Picture It, that was punched using the word window and that was layered on top of a die cut from the matchbook bigz die and the big shot.

The new thing for me on this card was using the Spritz tool for the first time. I now LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I find myself wanting to spritz everything!!! :-)

Well....that's it for me....Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings.........Cindy

EASTER BLESSINGS

Hey Stampers!

It's been raining here most of the day.....it was nice because I was able to be home ALL DAY!! So, I was busy today doing laundry, cleaning, and just catching up on some things around here. It was great....my kitchen sink looks sparkling clean!!!

Well, below is the other card that I made in class on Monday....the picture truly doesn't do this card justice. It is a STUNNING card in real life!! We used the Easter Blessings stamp set from the Occasions Mini catalog...which we stamped, embossed, and then colored with markers. It was very easy to make and it went together beautifully! Colors are So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Black, and Whisper White....I don't have the exact ribbon used here, so I will either substitute with card stock or a different ribbon when I make this card again.
Karen did an excellent job on this one....THANKS Karen! I will definitely be doing this card at my next club.....so those of you who are in my club......this is a sneak peek.

My quilt is coming along great....I have been doing a bit on it each night. I'm hoping to be done by the weekend. The finished quilt will be 9 squares across by 12 squares in length....I've already got 6 of the 12 rows all sewn and put together. Pretty exciting!!

That's it for me today....gotta get to my sewing!!
Until next time, find some time for stamping.....or sewing!!

Blessings..........Cindy

QUILT UPDATE & CLASS CARD

Hi Stampers!!

Well....I went to stamp class today and, once again, made a couple of GREAT cards!!! I will show you one today (I'll save the other one for another post) and I'll show you what I've done on my quilt.

First the card.....We used the Trendy Trees stamp set....I just love that set!! We started by randomly stamping one of the images as the background. Then we layered a strip of chocolate chip with a strip of the Good Neighbor DSP that is FREE with Sale-A-Bration. The scallop circle is from the SU pennant die and then layered with circle punches. We layered the word window punch on top of the modern label punch and there ya go! A great card!
This card is so versatile!!! You could put ANY sentiment on it. Plus, this could easily be a card for a man.....and I'm always on the hunt for a nice masculine card.

Ok, I am zipping right along on my quilt....I sewed on Sunday afternoon and then a LITTLE bit this evening. I am probably over a quarter of the way DONE! This is the easiest and the most fun I have ever had sewing! Making these quilts gives me the same type of satisfaction as mowing the lawn....you know how you can instantly see progress when you mow.....well, it's the same with the rag quilt! I'm just going to show you a small portion of it.....I will take a picture of the entire quilt when I'm done....after it's all sewn and then after I've washed it so that it frays.
The picture above shows you what the front will look like....all those seams will fray and really soften it. Below is a picture of the back.....it looks more like a traditional quilt.
I'm so excited!!! I'm already thinking about what kind of quilt I can make next!!! Steve even said that I should make one for us! Get him sold on the idea and then he won't mind when I sit in my craft room sewing and sewing and sewing and sewing!!

Well...that's it for today! Thanks so much for dropping by! Hopefully by this weekend or early next week I will have it all finished and I will show you!

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings........Cindy

FINALLY!!!

Hi Stampers! Well, I finally got around to taking pictures of the cards that I've made either on my own, in my club, or in class. I'm tempted to post them all today......but then I wouldn't have anything to post tomorrow....LOL!!! What I will post is the two cards that we made in my last stamp class with Karen.

The first one is a very simple, yet very cute, Valentine's card. We used the SU Elegant Bouquet embossing folder on Pretty in Pink card stock.....punched a sentiment and backing, and then tied a ribbon. Voila.....instant card. The original sample was for a sympathy card....but you could make this same card for ANY occasion.
The second card that we made was more for Easter.....but you could actually use this just to send to a friend. We used A Good Egg stamp set....you can't really tell from the picture, but the eggshell has Dazzling Diamonds on it which really sets it off nicely. We again used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder on this card and colored in the middle of the flowers.....a simple yet WOW touch.
Well....that's it for me today. I hope you all have a great 3 day weekend!!!
Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings.........Cindy

ANOTHER CLASS CARD

Happy Friday!!! I'm looking forward to this weekend.....simply because we don't have anything planned!!! Yeah!!

Below is a card that we made during Karen's stamp class a couple of weeks ago that I just realized I hadn't posted. It's using the new Vintage Vogue stamp set that is currently available in the Occasions Mini catalog.....this is a FANTASTIC set. It even has a matching jumbo wheel....you can see that it was used on the base of the card and the scalloped strip. Also featured from the Occasions Mini is the medium jewelry tag punch, which is stamped with a stamp from the Tiny Tags stamp set, and the bird and branch are punched from the extra large two-step bird punch. All those items are available to order in the Occasions Mini. The scallop border punch, used on this card, is available FREE in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.....if you order $50 in SU merchandise, you can order this punch for FREE....pretty COOL!!!
The background on the top note die cut was achieved by using a sponge dauber and swirling the ink onto it....it's a great way to add a textured look. This is a very versatile card.

If you are interested in looking at the current Occasions Mini catalog and all the other current SU catalogs....click here.

This last Saturday, I met my friend Karen at a local craft store and bought some fabric. This fabric is going to be used to make a rag tote bag.....with the squares cut with the Big Shot! There are TONS of these bags on blogs and Splitcoast, etc.....but I first saw the idea on Angie Juda's blog (Chic-n-Scratch)....which is on my right side bar and a FABULOUS blog!!! Anyways....here is the fabric that we picked out to make a bag.....along with some ribbon for the handle.
All the cutting was done using the Big Shot and the SU scallop square Bigz clear die....no scissor cramps and it only took me about 20-30 minutes!! Because with the Big Shot and a Bigz die you can cut up to 8 layers of fabric at once....depending on the thickness of the fabric. Now that I've got all my squares cut out.....I just need to sew it all together. I can't wait until I get a chance to do that. Maybe it will rain this weekend and I will be forced to stay indoors :-)

I also have a TON of scallop squares cut out from scraps of flannel I had leftover from making robes for my family as Christmas presents year before last....these I am going to also sew together and make a rag quilt. It's weird....but die cutting can become addicting....once you start it's hard to stop. You begin to look for things to cut up ;-0

Well....that's it for me today! My fairy god-maid seems to have gone on strike, so I guess that I will be put to forced labor cleaning house ;-)

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!
Blessings to you.......Cindy

CUTE PUNCH PENGUIN

Good afternoon friends! I never got back to the computer to post this card yesterday....but better late than never.

Isn't he just adorable?! We made him in my stamping class with Karen Angel that I go to on Mondays. He was VERY EASY to make....I assembled him at home because I wanted to stamp some snowflakes behind him just to jazz it up a bit.
He is mounted on a half sheet of basic gray, his feet and beak are pumpkin pie, heart is real red and the rest of him is basic black. I want to make some more of these....they would make good birthday cards too.

Well...if you need more information regarding which punches to use...just leave me a comment and I will forward those on to you.

Tonight Andy has another wrestling match. This time it is an away match, so we are going to be leaving here in about half an hour. Monday he had his very first match. He wrestled really good, but ended up losing :-( He was nervous and said that this time he will know more what to expect, etc. Monday I was a WRECK!!! I was so nervous for him I almost felt sick :-{ I'm such a pansy!!!

That's it for me today......Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!
Blessings...........Cindy

SAME GIFT CARD HOLDER....NEW LOOK

Greetings! Thanks for taking the time to pop in!!

Today I spent a good part of the day wrapping gifts and getting teacher gifts ready. I don't have a picture of the teacher gifts.....they are VERY SIMPLE and they just didn't seem like anything worth photographing let alone writing about. I just got done with them, so maybe I'll take a look at them tomorrow and change my mind. Sometimes when I get done with something I'm more pleased with it the next day. Kind of like lasagna....it seems to taste better the following day :-)

Anyway....Monday was our last stamp class until we begin again on Jan. 11th. For class we made the same gift card holder that I did at my club.....except with different papers, etc. I like this one because it has a more masculine feel to it....I don't know about you, but I have a really tough time making cards, gift card holders, and about anything else for men. So, I was very pleased with how this one turned out.....here it is.....
Just for fun, I'm working on an accordion decoration (not sure what to call it) that will spell out PEACE. I also want to do one for JOY......I'll take pictures when I'm done....IF they turn out good.

Well, that's it for me today......until next time.....
Blessings.......Cindy

CLASS CARD ~ CHRISTMAS

Hi!! Yes, I'm still around....you can't get rid of me that easily :-) I just haven't found time for blogging this week. Seems that in the hustle and bustle of Christmas....and life.....posting on my blog just gets pushed to the back burner. But I've still been stamping......this evening I am showing you a card that we made a few Mondays ago in class. It's a simple, yet elegant, Christmas card. It's made using only Night of Navy and Whisper White.....along with some silver embossing powder and dazzling diamonds.
Tomorrow I have my last class for the year......we will be starting up again in January. This week I will try and post the last of my class projects and also the gift card holder that we did last Monday at my stamp club.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!
Blessings........Cindy

CHRISTMAS CARD

Hi! Hope your week is going well!!!

Here is the other card that we made in stamp class on Monday.....
The card was so easy to make and yet it turned out soooo good!!!! Just goes to prove (again) that stamping and making a dynamite card doesn't have to take hours or be complicated!!!

We started with a half sheet of Night of Navy cardstock.....which we stamped with Night of Navy classic ink using the snowflakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set. Then we used a scrap piece of paper punched with the 1-1/4" circle punch adhered to our piece of whisper white cardstock.....which we die cut with the Top Note die using the Big Shot. Once our "moon" was in place we sponged Night of Navy ink across the top. Then we sponged Rose Red (actually, I can't remember exactly) in the middle and finished up by lightly sponging Night of Navy on the bottom. We removed our mask and than stamped Santa from the Wandering Words stamp set that is in the Occasions Mini. We also stamped the group of trees from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set....both of which were stamped using Soft Suede. I sponged a bit of Soft Suede on the bottom around the trees.....just so it would look more like the ground. We finished the card off by tying a piece of white organza ribbon around it and adhering it to the card base with dimensionals. Love it!!!

Thanks for taking the time to pop in......until next time....
Blessings..........Cindy

A FRIEND'S CARD & A USEFUL TIP

Hey There!!

Today, I wanted to show you a card made by my friend, Karen Albin....she is a fellow SU demonstrator and also in stamp class with me on Monday. The photo didn't turn out that great, but in person this card is STUNNING!!!
Karen shared a GREAT tip with me.....one which maybe you already know, but I didn't!!!

Anyway, I asked her how she was able to emboss with Iridescent Ice using a Classic ink pad. Well, here's how....... she first inked the stamp with VersaMark and then immediately inked it up using a Classic ink pad. Voila!! Instant Craft-like ink!!! By using a VersaMark pad first you can then change any classic ink pad you have into a color that you can emboss with. JUST BE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR STAMP OFF BEFORE YOU RE-INK IT WITH YOUR VERSAMARK.......I'm sure you wouldn't want Rich Razzleberry or any other color on your VersaMark. :-) I thought this was pretty cool!!! I'm going to give this a try!

Well, that's it for me today. The rest of this week is going to be fairly hectic. My daughter is turning 12 on Saturday and we are having a birthday party for her. I think there will be about 10 screeching, giggling, and kooky girls here on Saturday evening. All of her friends, believe it or not, LOVE to stamp and they usually wind up making something when they are here.....so we have a FUN project planned for them. I'll be sure to take pictures of them and their creations.

Until next time....find some time for stamping!!!
Blessings...........Cindy

NEW CLASS CARD ~ POST THANKSGIVING

Hello Friends!!! I pray that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.....I know we did. We all ate way too much, but it was GREAT to be together with family!!! Here is a picture of me with my mom and sisters.....for some weird reason while taking photos we forgot to get an entire family picture which we try to do each year since Thanksgiving is the one time during the year that we are all together.
We usually do a "nice" picture....and then we have to do one like this......
There's nothin' like family!

OK......Yesterday was my stamping class......it was so fun to be with the other ladies in the class! I thoroughly enjoy my time of stamping and visiting! It's worth the class just so I can see these ladies each week!

During class we made two very cute Christmas cards. The one that I will show you today was made using the Build A Bear dies which we mounted to a side step card. There were LOTS of little pieces to this.....but it turned out very cute!
Not very much stamping on this card......we did use the Punch Pals stamp set for the wreath, tree, and the greeting....pretty much everything else was die cut.

Well, that's it for today. Tomorrow I will post the other card from class. Have a GREAT day and until next time.....

Blessings......Cindy

AUTUMN CLASS CARD and MATCHBOX

YEAH! It's Friday and this begins a week long vacation for the kids! I know that they are ready for break....even though after a day or so they will start to say that they are bored. It's getting harder and harder to keep them occupied with those "simple pleasures" in life. I don't understand......they use to LIKE playing in the sink with the bubbles while doing the dishes :-) Oh well.....despite the boredom and the unfortunate moans and groans I'll hear from having them do some chores around here, it will be nice to have them around.

I finally got caught up in my picture taking......and so today I thought that I would post a card that I made a couple of weeks ago in class. It is very fitting considering Thanksgiving is right around the corner.......
It is a pretty straight forward card.....we used the Big Shot and the Leaves #2 die. Before we cut the leaves out we stamped the piece of cardstock with the Sanded background stamp and then embossed it. The acorns and the background images are from the Autumn Splendor stamp set that is in the current Holiday Mini. We stamped the leaves and then stamped some "texture" onto the background and leaves with the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set....this is a great little set for things like this. The acorns were also embossed and then the "nut" part was filled with Crystal Effects and tied with a smal bit of Linen Thread. The sentiment is from the Level 1 hostess set Holiday Best.....which was punched using the (sadly) retired Key Tag punch layered on cardstock (sorry....can't remember the color) that was punched with the Curly Label punch. There is also a small amount of Dazzling Diamond glitter on the leaves in the sentiment.

During the same class we made a box using the Matchbox die to compliment the card. We used almost the same supplies for this.....
Here is what was on the inside.....
Well....that is it for today. Just in case I don't get around to posting before Thanksgiving.....

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Until next time,
Bountiful Blessings.........Cindy

CLASS CARDS

Happy Friday everyone! It's Halloween's Eve........don't be too scared this weekend! Steve and I are gearing up for a frightful night though. Tonight the kids are having some of their school friends over for a Halloween Party.....oooooo scary!! Not really!!! They are going to eat, eat, eat and eat, play volleyball, eat some more, and then we are planning on having a big bonfire and roasting marshmallows so they can all go home totally sick to their stomachs from all the junk they will have consumed. But, I'm sure they will have a good time gorging themselves :-)

Well....I didn't fulfill my goal of getting all moved into my new space yesterday, but I did make some progress.

I wanted to show you a card that I made on Monday at stamp class. I think it is quite elegant. It is just black and white. We stamped the image with craft black ink and embossed it.....and the DSP is the Night & Day Specialty paper from the Holiday mini catalog.
And as an added bonus.....it even contains a gift! We made a bookmark that is tucked in behind the front panel. We made the bookmark out of the Stampin' Up Two Tags die and then covered it with a window sheet that had also been die cut....the window sheet is included in the Night & Day Specialty DSP from the Holiday mini. We added a rub-on and a bit of ribbon and voila!! you have a fabulous little bookmark!!
I think this card is just so beautiful!!! I know I probably say this a lot.....but.....this is one of my favorites!!!

Well, I better get on my broom and start flying around getting ready for the Halloween Party.

Until next time.
Blessings......Cindy

CLASS CARDS

Hi!! Thanks for checkin' in!

Today I have been doing some major cleaning and organizing.....moving into my new space!! It feels good to clear out some things (junk is more like it!!) that has just piled up.....my garbage is getting quite full! I'm having a ton of fun though!!

As you probably know....on Mondays I go to a stamping class that my friend Karen Angel teaches. She always has great projects for us to make. (Thanks Karen for all your hard work!!!) Below are the 2 cards that we made this past Monday......
This card was made using the Eastern Blooms stamp set.....this card has a great layout and can easily be changed up depending on the colors and stamp sets used. LOVE IT!! She provides us with envelopes that we are able to stamp to match our cards.....I normally don't think to take a photo of the envelope, but....behind the card is the envelope I made for this card.

The next card was just too clever and too cute!!! The crow is made entirely from punches. If you are interested in all the punches used just leave me a comment and I will email those to you. It was fun to put him together!!
Well....that is it for today. It has been hard for me to sit still and blog when most of my house is torn up....I've been totally pre-occupied with getting "my world" back together. So, I apologize for not being more detailed.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!! or getting organized!!!
Blessings......Cindy
