National Pink Day Abstract K.I.S.S.

It is National Pink Day!  And today I have a bit of an abstract Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) card for you.

This is a little bit of a stray from my style but it was so much fun to create!!  I started with a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock. 

• spritzed with NEW Stampin' Spritzer filled with Melon Mambo Classic Ink refill drops and water
• Apply Whisper White Craft Ink using Direct to Paper technique (rub ink pad directly on card stock0
• Watercolor streaks of Basic Gray using Aqua Painters

 

A torn edge, Silver and Glimmer Brads set off the greeting that comes from the Word Play stamp set.

Yes, a bit abstract for me!  Here is the inspiration:

This print was posted by my friend, Cari Cantrell, on her design blog - the sweet tooth.  So pretty in pink!

Happy National Pink Day to you!  Have a simple and wonderful weekend.

 

 

Altered Mason Jar Pin Cushions

Need a quick and easy gift idea or just want to add fun to your craft space?  Try making these fun pin cushions using Mason Jars.

Simply cut a piece of Stampin' Up! Designer Fabric, larger than your canning lid.  Using a hot glue gun, cover the canning lid with fabric and adhere the fabric loosely, 3/4 of the way around the lid.  Insert your fabric stuffing and finish adhering the fabric.  Embellish as you wish with ribbon and/or tags!  Easy peasy. 

Check Out All of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Fabric

I made these jars for my stamp room.  My colors are Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla.  Also, I transferred all of my Baker's Twine to old thread spools that I had from my grandmother.

Thanks for checking in today.  Have a wonderful weekend.

 

Happy First Day of Summer!!

Today is officially the first day of Summer!!  Yea!! Check out this Punch Art Sunglasses card that I was inspired to create today!

A little sand -

• Three pieces of Sahara Sand card stock torn, sponged with Sahara Sand ink and spritzed with our Color Spritzer Tool and Sahara Sand Marker.

A little blue sky -

• Pool Party card base with Whisper White Craft Ink applied (streaked) directly to resemble "wispy" clouds.

And a great pair of sunglasses -

• Extra Large Oval Punches of Melon Mambo card stock with Large Oval Punches out of the center.  Extra Large Oval Punches of Basic Black card stock adhered behind the Melon Mambo.  The Word Window Punch is used for the nose piece and the arms.  This is how you make the Extended Word Window Punch pieces for the arms.

 

It's Summer and the sun is actually shinning in Western WA state!  Woo Hoo!  You know what that means, I need to find my sunglasses.  They pretty much go MIA in the Winter and Spring around here.

As you can see, I love a sunny warm beach in the summer!  What says summer to you? Leave a comment and share!!

Thanks for dropping by today!

A Clean and Simple, Masculine Monday

This is the Father's Day card that I created for my hubby using the classic Stampin' Up! Lovely As A Tree stamp set and the Clean and Simple Blogs - Fall to Layout 195.

 Yes, I did flip the sketch around a bit.

 

 

The More Mustard card stock panel has been textured using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  A Neutral Button with a tie of Linen Thread finishes it off.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a nice Father's Day.  We were at the ball park all day but it was worth it! 

My boys' baseball team that my husband helps to coach won their end of season tournament.  Yea!!  My son, Wyatt, isn't smiling because he had taken a ball to the mouth on a "bad hop".  :o(

Happy Monday to you!!

 

 

A Cupcake K.I.S.S.

Want a fun and quick way to add more fun to your cupcakes?  Try any of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper and our Pennant Builder Punch!  These pokes were created by my son, Wyatt, to put atop the cupcakes, baked by my son Hunter.  They were helping me prep for my New Catalog Open House!

 

We used the Patio Party Designer Series Paper and they are attached to toothpicks with our Mini Glue Dots.  One more Mini Glue Dots holds the pennant tips together.

Stampin' Up! has a Designer Series Paper to go with any occasions! 

You can have a little of all of them with my Designer Series Paper Share!

Hope you enjoy this cupcake K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Saturday) project!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Stampin' Up! Disney World Trip Day 4

Whew!  In all the excitement of the Retiring Products and NEW Stampin' Up! Catalog, I haven't shared the second half of our fabulous Stampin' Up! Disney World Incentive Trip!  On Day 4 of our vacation, we headed to Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Now, in addition to my boys' favorite roller coater, Expedition Everest, we saw many amazing animals -

 

All I could think of was, "Scurry, Sniff, Flinch!!"  You have to have watched Lion King 1 1/2 to get this.  ;o)

 

I would not want to make this guy mad!

 

Fruit bat - EEEWWWW!

 

Now isn't he/she beautiful?!

There were many more animals that I photographed but, these are the best shots.

We headed back to our hotel and out to dinner.

Waiting for our table to be ready gave my husband, Bret, and I a photo opportunity!

After dinner, was the event we (the demonstrators) had been waiting for - Share, Swaps and Sweets Night!

This was an evening for demonstrators to share creative ideas, participate in a card swap and enjoy yummy sweets.  Stampin' Up! provided a Churro Bar along with Hot Cocoa and all the fun fixins'.

Here are some of the swaps!

Love those Button Buddies flowers peeking up from behind a fence made with using the Rosette Bigz XL Die for the Big Shot.

 

Love the simplicity of this card created with the new Everything Eleanor stamp set.

 

Fun layout!

 

Summer Smooches Just For You!

 

Check out this cute romper set made by Lyssa Griffin Swolanek using our Summer Smooches Designer Fabric!

 

Isn't this fabulous?  I think I know which demonstrator to give credit to, for this fabulous project share, but I'm not 100%! 

Though I loved seeing all the samples and creative ideas, the highlight of the evening was RECEIVING THE NEW 2012-2013 CATALOG!!

 

Stampin' Up! CEO and Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner, brought our table the new catalog.  She was just as excited to share it with us as we were to be receiving it!!

 

My friend, Becky and I with the new catty!!  I've never viewed a new Stampin' Up! catalog together with a few hundred other Stampin' Up! demonstrators - what fun!  But, it was difficult to stay focused as we all jumped to different sections of the catalog to look for those products that inspire us most!

Thanks for sharing with me another amazing day at Disney World. 

Now, I'll be honest - I'm working hard this month (June 2012) to qualify for the Stampin' Up! Getaway Vacation and I need your help!  If there are products that you would like to order from the fabulous NEW Stampin' Up! catalog - let me know!!  I would love to be your demonstrator!

Itty Bitty Betsy's Blossoms

You cannot find a better combination than the NEW Betsy's Blossoms stamp set and Stampin' Up!'s NEW Firm Foam Ink Pads!  The new, rich ink stamps the blossom image in the Betsy's Blossom stamp set so beautifully!  Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit are two bright, summer colors!

The greeting comes from the Itty Bitty Banners greeting stamp set and was die cut using the NEW Bitty Banners Framelits! Woot - love these!

Can it get any better than precisely die-cut and beautifully inked images??  I think not...Thank you Stampin' Up!!

World Treasures For You

Isn't this a bright and fun card using the NEW World Treasures stamp set?  I can say that because I CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) it from Jill Hilliard.  Thanks Jill!

The colors are the new Raspberry Ripple and Old Olive. 

 

Love this new stamp set and our NEW Essentials Designer Fabric!  Great way to use small bits of fabric.  These fabric pieces actually tied on the tags to gifts I received on the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip in Disney World!  Can you say REPURPOSE!

See the fun texture on the Whisper White background panel created using the new Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder?  Eek - so fun!  Mini Silver Brads set off the centers of the flowers.

Check Out All the fun Textured Impressions Embossing Folders!

They are a great way to add that extra "wow" factor to your projects!

Happy Friday.  :o)

Oh My Goodness!!

Stampin' Up!'s NEW Firm Foam Ink Pads are AWESOME! 

With the introduction of the 2012-2013 annual catalog, Stampin' Up! has made a very big change to our Stampin’ Pads.

Introducing firm foam pads! They change your stamping experience for the better.

You will LOVE these new Stampin’ Pads—just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:

• Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
• Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!

In addition, our new Stampin’ Pads

• Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
• Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
• Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)--just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification! 
• Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• Are available in all colors, including our exclusive In Colors!

Check out this video featuring these fabulous NEW Firm Foam Ink Pads!!

 

Just when you thought using Stampin' Up! products couldn't get any better!  THEY HAVE!

Get The Good Stuff!
