Customized Buttons

I am just crazy about the new Stampin' Up! Bitty Buttons available in the Summer Mini Catalog. They come clear so you can customize them any way you want. Along with being cute, they are inexpensive too. You get 64 for under $5. The Punch Pack coordinates with these button sizes. All you need to do is layer the punched image behind the clear Bitty Buttons for your own custom embellishment. I used solid color card stock to match the patterned paper.

The card pictured above was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA44) today. I enjoy sketch challenges once in awhile. It's amazing to see all the different creations people come up with using a single sketch.

Enjoy your day and happy stamping!

Happy National Scrapbooking Month

Here is part of of a scrapbook layout I did to capture some Christmas memories. Brandon helps me bake Christmas cookies every year and he is great at it!

I used a combination of scrapbooking products, but I am consistent with using Stampin' Up! card stock when I need a solid color for a background or matting a picture. Stampin' Up! card stock is thick and smooth which works great for scrapbooking something that you want to last.

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping . . . and scrapbooking too!

Mint Chocolate Chip Anyone?

Mmmm. Although we had a little snow on Mother's Day (crazy Erie weather), summer is coming!

How about a scoop of mint chocolate chip? It's one of my favorites. You can scoop up this adorable set of stamps from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. The set is called Sweet Scoops. It comes in wood mounted or clear. There are two different scoops to choose from and two different cone styles as well. It's a perfect set for those summer birthdays or to create cards for kids!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope every mother out there had a wonderful day today! I made my mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law these little watering cans filled with mints. The pattern can be found HERE and they are so easy to make! I will show you how I made the puffy little flower embellishment in another post in the near future.

Happy Mother's Day and happy stamping!

Razzle

Ever go through your stamp collection and realize you forgot about a set you had? That was the case with my Stampin' Up! Razzle Dazzle set. I keep my stamps in drawers & this one was tucked away in the back. It was like finding a treasure!

I only colored a portion of the flower stamp with my Stampin' Up! markers. The Stampin' Up! markers really come in handy when you want to stamp in multiple colors at the same time. Razzle Dazzle coordinates perfectly with the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper. Another little treasure.

The new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini is due out in a couple weeks and it's HOT! Wait until you see all the new goodies. I can't wait to share them with you. Stay tuned!

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

A Thought Away

Does is feel like Spring yet? The buds are out and before you know it, you'll see flowers like the one on my card. Can't wait!

The Stampin' Up! patterned paper is from Welcome Neighbor (past Sale-A-Bration) for the flower and Sweet Pea (Occasions Mini) for the background.

I created the flower using the Stampin' Up! Extra Large Fancy Flower punch and a couple of flowers from the Flower Fusion collection. I wish I could tell you where the extra wide ric-rac is from, but it's been in my stash for a long time.

Have fun and happy stamping!
