August Club projects- Different ways to use Re-inkers

Happy Friday everyone!!

It's club week around here so I wanted to share with you the projects that my club members are making this week. All three are using Re-inkers for other than re-inking our ink pads. What are re-inkers? They are small bottles of the same ink that is in our ink pads made for adding drops of ink when the pads get dry (which I have yet to do on any of my pads and I have had some of them for over a year now!). But as with lots of the SU stuff, you can do so much with them too.

This first card uses the very versatile "Season of Friendship" set. To acheive the multi-coloured leaves I created a stamp pad with a folded up Baby wipe and added to the surface a drop of Ruby Red, Old Olive & Pumpkin Pie ink. You then stamp the image in this homemade ink pad and stamp on your paper! Voila! Multi-coloured leaves!


The next card uses no stamping! It's rare that I have a card like that. This card fits the Small Open-End envelopes and it's dimensions before folding is 61/2 x 61/2. For this card we dyed the White satin ribbon using Not Quite Navy ink. And I absolutely love how this one turned out! It is a beautiful colour of blue and matches perfectly with the Bella Bleu paper!

For the last card We dyed both the Flower from the Pretties Kit and the cordoroy brad in the centre. The Flower was dyed using my Rich Razzleberry re-inker and the brad with Old Olive. The brad is one of my left over Baja Breeze brads from the Occasions Mini Catalogue. When I was designing this card I wondered if I could dye them to match. I added a couple of drops of Old Olive re-inker to the top of the brad, heat set it, and what do you know? I now have an Old Olive Cordoroy brad!! Cool eh?

I am currently looking for members for my next Technique club? Benefits of membership include a free catalogue, FREE monthly projects, discounts on class fees and other events and FREE hostess benefits once during the duration of the club. Contact me today to sign up! And remember that Club members resigning for the next session get a FREE ink pad of their choice!!

Cheers,

A card for my nephew

Stampin' Up! is running a Kids campaign. So it is only fitting that I share with you a card that I made for one of my nephew's. He turned 4 on July 31st. Unfortunately he lives far away in Newfoundland, Canada, so I had to mail this to him. I pretty much CASE'd a card from the current catalogue. I fell in love with this set because it allows you to change the age, and I thought the animals were so cute! I know I will have a lot of fun with this one. For this card I decided to use 3 of the new In-colours, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay. I hope he likes it. I am sure he will be more interested in the Chapters gift card tucked inside however! :)

Products used:
Stampin' Up "Look who's Turning" stamp set
Stampin' Up Card stock- Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White.
Stampin' Up Ink- Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry.
Accessories: Dimensionals, Bermuda Bay Polka Dot ribbon, Bermuda Bay & Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Markers, paper snips.

Jam jars & Punch storage

We have two Black Currant bushes in my backyard & back about 3 weeks ago my daughter Kieran offered to pick some for me. I have been wanting to make Black Currant jam for years. And it turned out yummy! But then the jars sat there waiting patiently to receive their labels. But I had no labels big enough to handle the size of the Curly Label punch. And I had something already in mind. Thankfully there is a Grand & Toy in the building that I work in (which for some reason I keep forgetting about....). So finally last week I picked up some labels. And labeled up my jam!
I used the retired Cute & Curly stamp set for my labels, stamped in Perfect Plum. I wrote the type of jam and date using my Old Olive Stampin' Write marker, and then punched them out with the Curly Label punch! Et voila! Beautiful jam jars!! I already have plans for the Xmas season as I have a Holiday Preserve recipe that I am dying to try out, and I can't wait to package them up for gift giving!!! :)

The other thing that I got accomplished this weekend that I have been wanting to do for the LONGEST time was some cheep punch storage. I have amassed quite a collection of punches due to my punch addiction (don't worry I am seeking counselling for said condition....and it's called "buy every punch SU has, cause then you won't have any to buy!!!"). I popped on over to Ikea the other night to pick up a few of the Bygel racks. Only $2.99 each!! And my loving hubbie mounted them for me even though he had just worked a 12 hour shift mounting metal!! He's the best! He even bought me a brand new Photosmart Wireless printer this weekend too!!! As you can see, I have no space left!! I bought the buckets at Ikea too (think they were $3.99 each) and they look just like Vanilla Hodgepodge hardware, don't they? I am however going to mount them directly to the wall to free up my very valuable punch space as I have a new punch from the Mini arriving this week!! And it needs some where to live!! Either way, this is by far the cheepest storage for punches that I have seen, and I love how it looks in my craft room.

Don't forget to post your answers to my "100 posts contest survey", you have until Friday to be entered to win a stamp set!!! Good luck!

I know... It's been a while... & challenge entries

This past week has been nuts! I got almost no time to stamp until this weekend because my husband Ed has been working crazy overtime. So that means that I have been on "chase the baby around the house and make sure he doesn't hurt himself or someone else" duty.

My husband Ed is an Ironworker and summer time is always a busy time for him. The push is always on to get whatever building he is working on completed. I thought I would share with you a couple of pictures of him at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) a few summers ago. Those of you from Toronto, he was working on the new Crystal addition.

Right now he is working at the Royal Conservatory of Music, right next to the ROM. The adorable girl would be my daughter Kieran, she's 10 now, but was 8 in these pictures. I call the second picture "Beauty and the Beast" love that one!

Anyhow, on to the challenges. I made the following card for two challenges. Since I was short on time I thought I could make it work.

The first challenge is the So Shelli challenge. For those of you who don't know, Shelli is the CEO and founder of Stampin' Up! Each month she posts challenges, open to Demo's and customers alike. I haven't entered one in a while because the Blog reader I use (Google Reader) stopped getting the new blog posts!! And I just figured it out the other day. Shelli's challenge this month is SIP- Stamps, Ink, Paper. Make anything, but just use that stuff. No extra embellishments, ribbon etc.

As soon as I read that, I thought about the Pal Paper Arts challenge which is a sketch this week.
It is a beautifully simple sketch and I felt that it matched well with Shelli's SIP challenge.

So, what do you think? It is simple. and I kind of like that. I went with my fav new colour combo of Blush Blossom & Chocolate Chip (with a bit of Close to Cocoa & Very Vanilla too!). I also used my new French Fillagre Background stamp. And one of my all time favorite sets "All Holidays".

Products used:
Stampin' Up "All Holidays" stamp set, "French Fillagre" Background stamp
Stampin' Up Card stock- Blush Blossom, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla.
Stampin' Up Ink- Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa.
Accessories: Brayer, Sponge Daubers, Scalloped edge punch.

Congrats to Caroline!

The Annual Stampin' Up Convention, a mass congregation of Stampin' Up Demo's from all over North America, is currently underway in Salt Lake City, Utah. Last night was the much anticipated Awards Night. My Upline Caroline stayed in Toronto this year and was eagerly awaiting the results of the Canadian Demonstrator of the Year awards late last night. Last year she placed 5th, and so, naturally I couldn't wait to find out how she did this year. Well, a late night email confirmed that she placed 5th again, and 3rd for Senior Associate promotions in her first level!!!!!

CONGRATS Caroline!! They are well deserved awards, you are an extremely hard worker who dedicates a lot of your life to SU! And I was pleased to have been a part of the SA promotions!!!!! One of her prizes for earning these prestigeous awards is an all expenses trip to Utah later this fall for an excellent Stampin' get away with all the other winners from North America and it includes some serious pampering from SU! Way to go Caroline!!!!!

If you want to get in on the action you need only contact me to join my fabulous Stampin' Up team! I hope to go to Convention next year, and would love to go down with a team of people!! :)

Still in PA! Summer Cookout Kit on Sale!

Hey Everyone,

Greetings from Scranton, PA! We decided to stay another day because we are having so much fun visiting my sister and her family, and we are finding lots of great deals while shopping! Since it is a holiday in Canada today, we decided to spend another night. The weather has been awesome for the most part.

I had some good luck while I was visiting. On Saturday night my sister and her husband took us to the Casino near by called Mohegan Sun. This Casino only has slot machines which many of you know, eat up your money very fast. After basically pushing $100 worth into a few different machines and little to no gain, I took the last $20 of ours and found an enticing machine. I had all but used up my $20 and had almost no credits left and then on my last push of the button some crazy Bonus thing came up, I got to hit another button and then the machine went crazy!! I ended up winning $244!!! It was only 1cent slots after all, but it was more than enough to make me happy, pay for some of my new clothes and win back our losses! Fun times!

Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know that the Country Living Summer cookout kit is now on sale for only $19.75!!!! Awesome. Summer is only half done, so pick yours up now while supplies last!!

I will be back tomorrow with a card.... assuming I am not too wiped from the drive back home!

Cheers,

Stampin' Ups Kid Promo!!


That's right, today is the start of a new Kid-centric promo from Stampin' Up! From now until the end of September look forward to a number of kid focused deals.

There are a few things to note:

1. Purchase the NEW Growth Chart Decor Element for $33.95 and receive the applicator tool for FREE!

2. Purchase $45 worth of stamp sets from the "Growing Up" section of the 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalogue and choose a pack of Designer Buttons (Playground, Sherbet, Button Latte) for FREE! That's a $10.95 value!!

To kick of the Kid's promo it only seems right to show you a card my daughter Kieran made.
She is a talented little crafter isn't she?? She used Brilliant Blue for her card base, stamped the birthday image from "Eight Great Greetings" on Whisper White in Basic Black ink and then coloured just the flame in with a yoyo yellow marker. She then punched a scallop circle from Pretty in Pink cardstock and punched a hole in the centre. The stamped image is mounted on the inside with the scallop frame on the outside. Then she finished it all off with a bow in Pretty in Pink 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and voila!! A beautiful card.

Cheers,

Post #100!!!! How about a contest?? Blog Candy anyone???

Wow! Hard to believe I have posted that many times! I hope you enjoy my posts and stampin' good fun. Leave a message on this post and let me know the answers to the following 3 questions to be entered to win a prize (to be determined....)

1. What do you like about my blog?
2. What am I not doing that you would like to see in the future?
3. What don't you like?

From the posts I will do a random draw for the winner! Looking forward to seeing your comments and looking forward to spending the next 100 posts with you.

In the mean time, I would like to share with you a card I made for friend of mine who lost her Grandmother last week.

Unfortunately we often find ourselves in a situation where we need to make a Sympathy Card. I don't know about you, but I always find it hard to design them. This one was a little easier because I already had this medallion stamped in Crushed Curry and then I used the Rock n' Roll technique using Bermuda Bay. I made it as a Demonstration during my Online Team meeting. Our team the Hive meets once a month, twice in a quarter Online, and one in person. The Online meetings allow all of us in different locations meet, watch me on a webcam as I demo, and talk about the latest promos etc. There is also a chat so the team can post questions of which I answer. It's a great way to stay connect, but with out having to go out, get a sitter etc.

Just a heads up, I am visiting my sister in Scranton, Pennsylvania this weekend. So those of you who look forward to my newsletter, it will be arriving in your mailboxes early next week.

I did want to let everyone know about my Birthday Card Class on Friday, August 7th at 7pm. We will be making 4 different Birthday cards. Cost of the class is $20 or free with a $50 purchase that night. Class fee for club members is $15 and Hive Team members only $10!

Pals Paper Arts Challenge!

I know, I have been negligent in playing with inspiration challenges this summer. I guess things have just been too busy. As it happens, I follow a blog called Stampin' Pretty by Mary Fish. Today she announced a link to her teams new Challenge blog called Pals Paper Arts. They posted their first challenge today which is a colour challenge using the following colours:

So, since I am busy making cards to send to Kieran at camp (because no serious paper crafter like myself can send her daughter plain boring letters) I decided to make her a card for this challenge. Kieran loves when I participate in the challenges, in fact she likes creating some for me too! And she adores the new in colours. So I borrowed one of her stamp sets "Just Jawing" to make her a card. I hope she doesn't mind!
Kieran fell in love with this set the moment she saw it. After all, it is perfect for all the teens and tweens in our lives. I have actually never used it on a card before. It's hard to tell in this picture but the eyes are all glittered up using the cosmo fine glitter.

Products used:
Stampin' Up "Just Jawing" stamp set
Stampin' Up Card stock- Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White.

Where did July go???? Deal of the Week ends tomorrow!!!

All along I thought the Deal of the Week ends on Monday. Boy was I wrong!! Deal of the Week ends TOMORROW!! Yikes!! You only have one more day to take advantage of the Heart to Heart punch for only $26.99!!! Contact me NOW to order!!

Where did July go by the way??? Perhaps it's the fact that the weather has never felt like summer weather, but August is upon us..... I am starting to see adds for the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) already, which is most definitely the sign of an approaching fall. For those of you who don't know what the CNE is, it is basically our "town" fair. Except that our town is over 4million people, so it's a DAMN (pardon me...) big fair. In fact, apparently it is the 4th largest in North America. It runs for the last two weeks of summer and ends on Labour Day, and for most of us in Toronto it signals the end of summer. If you happen to be in Toronto during the Ex as us locals like to call it, stop in. It can be a pretty fun time. I don't however recommend the rides. If you want good rides head up to Canada's Wonderland instead.

Cheers,

Heart to Heart Sample #1

This is the first sample I am sharing with you that uses the Heart to Heart punch, our Deal of the Week for only $15.99 until Monday at noon!!!!

I love the look of black and Melon Mambo! It's rather striking isn't it? I am definitely going to have to make some cards with this combination in the near future. This card uses the coordinating hearts from both the "Love you Much" stamp set and then it was punched with the Heart to Heart punch. After it was heat embossed with white embossing powder and stamped with versamark ink. Beautiful contrast!

Products used:
Stampin' Up "God's Blessings" stamp set, "Love you Much" stamp set
Stampin' Up Card stock- Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Black.
Stampin' Up Ink- Basic Black, versamark.

Final Deal of the Week!


It's here! The final deal of the week! And the response has been overwhelming!! I am sure that Stampin' Up! will plan more of these in the future!

This week the Deal is the Heart to Heart Punch for only $15.99!!! That's 30% of the regular price of $22.95!!!

This is a very versatile punch. You can use it to punch out lots of hearts in different paper and use them as is on your card or layout. Or you can use it with the "Love you Much" set which has a stamp to coordinate with it. Either way, this is definitely a great deal!!

Got to LOVE punches!

Kieran leaves for camp today! :(

I am going to miss her so very much!!! She is going for a whole month this year!! As I was helping her pack on Saturday I realized that I didn't get her any stationary to take with her. And then I began thinking, why would I buy her stationary when I can make her some!! I mean, I am a serious paper crafter after all.

As soon as her brother went for a nap the two of us hit the Stampin' room for some stationary making fun!
I simply took some white printer paper and cut it in half with my paper cutter. I then took my 'Circle Circus' set and some of the new in-colours and stamped some circles on the top and the bottom of the page. I used the "Thinking of you" stamp from 'Trendy Trees' as well. Then I stamped corresponding envelopes. It took absolutely no time, and now she has really pretty paper to write us lots of letters!

Kieran's paper was even nicer than mine! She used some of her own stamp sets, retired 'Seeing spots' and retired 'So Very' to decorate hers. At the bottom it reads "So Very missed". I love the colours she chose. Lovely Lilac, Tempting Turquoise, Gable Green and Rose Red. She is a very talented stamper in her own right. And at 10 years old has already decided that she is going to be an SU demo just like her mom!

Hodgepodge Hardware sample #3

I stole away for a few minutes yesterday to play with some of my new stuff, and to do one more card using the Hodgepodge hardware.

As soon as I saw the 'Medalion' stamp in the new catalogue, I immediately started envisioning things that it could be used for. But the challenge I was having was finding some time to use it.

Then some serious inspiration hit yesterday. I had received my monthly Stampin' Up! demo magazine on Friday, but hadn't had a chance to look at it. So Saturday morning afforded me a few moments of "me" time and I started reading it. I came to a page that had beautiful treat boxes made with the matchbox die for the Big Shot. What caught my eye the most was the colour palette used. It was a combination of Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Blush Blossom.

Blush Blossom is a colour I rarely use, except for with my Stampin' Write markers if I am colouring my people from the 'All in the Family' set. However looking at these boxes I couldn't wait to work with it!!

So, out came my Blush Blossom paper for the first time, along with my Medalion stamp and some serious fun was had!! I also got a chance to use my 'Monogram Sweet' set for the first time. I absolutely LOVE making monogrammed note cards. I think it is a total throw-back to a time when communication was so much more formal and personal. I thought that these letters would look lovely framed using the Hodgepodge Hardware.

Don't forget that the hardware is still on sale (until tomorrow at noon) for only $26.99!! Contact me to orders your now!!

Products used:
Stampin' Up "Medalion" stamp set, "Monogram Sweet" stamp set
Stampin' Up Card stock- Chocolate Chip, Blush Blossom, Close to Cocoa.
Stampin' Up Ink- Chocolate chip, Close to Cocoa.
Accessories: Designer Label Punch, Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, 1/6" hole punch, Soft Suede polka dot (I used the non-polka dot side) grosgrain ribbon, sponge dauber.

My other laptop & the Distillery District

Hi Everyone.

I hope you are having a great weekend! Last night my husband Ed and I went on a date to celebrate my new promotion at work!!! I was promoted to Project Manager- Business Transformation! I am pretty excited about it, and it has been in the works a long time, so it is great to finally be able to talk about it publicly. We went to the Distillery District in Toronto. The Distillery District is a historical site which was once a thriving Distillery originally built in 1832. Today it is Canada's number one Movie filming location, and apparently it is second only to Hollywood in all of North America. In addition to being used in countless movies, it has been renovated and converted into a pedestrian shopping and entertainment area focusing on art, culture and entertainment and boost a whole host of yummy restaurants and artisan shops. We decided to try out the seafood restaurant called Pure Spirits Oyster bar, and we had an amazing dinner. Afterwards we wandered around to check out some of the stores etc. It was an awesome night out with my husband! And a great reason to celebrate!

Anyhow, as promised I wanted to share with you my other laptop and it's new decoration.
For this one I chose the 'Adornment' in Taken with Teal! I love these things!

Check the Definitely Decorative brochure for all of the beautiful options. This one is available in 8 different colours!!

Contact me to order yours today!

Hodgepodge Hardware Sample #3


Hey Guys,

I got a bit of time to create last night!!! :) So I thought I would use the Hodgepodge Hardware that's on sale this week. I will be placing an order this weekend, so if you have anything you want to pick up- please send the order to me by Saturday so that I can add it in (then you save on shipping).

This card uses one of my new stamp sets called "A Rose is a Rose". I have been eyeballing it for a few catalogues now, and decided that I wanted it for my collection! And I am so glad that I got it. I LOVE it! I love how the two step stampin' really gives this a beautiful. Look. 2 Step Stampin' works by having 2 stamps of the same image but slightly different. One is more solid than the other. You ink up the solid image in a ink colour then you stamp the second less solid image over top in a darker colour. The resulting image is beautiful!!! Then I trimmed all the bits and mounted some of them with dimensionals, but you can't really see that in the picture. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set, but I colour two words at a time with my Old Olive marker so that I could "stack" the sentiment instead of it being in a long line. That was then framed with some of the Hodgepodge Hardware (on sale right now for only $26.99!!!). And voila, a very pretty card to give to a close friend.

Products used:
Stampin' Up "A Rose is a Rose" stamp set
Stampin' Up Card stock- Rose Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink.
Stampin' Up Ink- Regal Rose, Rose Red, Old Olive, Certainly Celery.
Accessories: Designer Label Punch, Dimensionals, Top Note Die, Big Shot, Perfect Details Texturz plate, Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, 1/6" hole punch, corner rounder, Rose Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, sponge dauber.

Hodgepodge Hardware Sample #2


Just a quick post to share a card made using the Hodgepodge Hardware.

As Demo's we have access to a daily feed of beautiful cards made by fellow demonstrators on the Stampers Showcase. This one was featured there a few weeks ago, and is an excellent example of the Hodgepodge Hardware in use. The card was created by a Demo named Andrea Borries. I think she did an amazing job!

I love how the centre tree was framed using the hardware that coordinates with the Designer Label punch. You know me and my love things that match punches!! This set of hardware certainly meets that criteria! I also love how she used one of the possible tree tops from the 'Trendy Trees set' as a background image. Beautiful! Well done Andrea.

Have a great day! And contact me right away to get your hands on that beautiful Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware for only $26.99!!!!
