Seed Packet Poppies

A friend of mine asked if I could make up something to send out seed packets to some of her friends and I remember seeing a pattern by Carla Brasher that I thought would work. My friend wanted some poppies for the front and I knew the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set (item #123027) would be great from the new Summer Mini Catalog. I used the floating re-inker technique that Gretchen Barron had shown on her web site....casing from two terrific Stampin' Up! Demonstrators now that's what I'm talking about LOL

Any way this uses the small open-end envelopes (item # 107286) and our Shimmery White Card stock (item # 101910). The floating re-inker technique works best with this paper. The image was stamped with black craft ink and heat embossed with black Embossing powder, I used drops of Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade ink to give the poppies their color. I sure hope she likes them....

Enjoy!!

New Summer Mini Catalog

Every time I go through one of the new mini catalogs, I have a hard time deciding what to get....New stamps? New accessories? New designer series papers...So many things and decisions on what to get first LOL This new catalog is no exception to my dilemma. There are more sets with a masculine feel including some great designer papers that would make some great father's day and birthday cards. You can begin ordering from this catalog on May 1st through August 31.

Don't forget you can order anytime on my web page HERE

Easter Treat

My friend and upline Chris Kolly created this cute little Easter treat for me using our Stampin' Up! punches. I love the little chicken and the wheelbarrow and flowers are just too stinkin cute and wanted to share it with all of you!!

Hmmmm now to figure out how to get to the peeps inside without destroying the packaging LOL

Enjoy!!

Little Totes

I really like the fabric that Stampin' Up! has brought out in their last couple of mini catalogs, and have made several note book type folders for gifts in the past.


BUT when I saw a Tote by karrie@stampers-den.ca I thought they we too stinking cute, and knew I had to try my hand at making some. The tutorial Karrie provided was easy to follow and had great pictures as well. I ended up making all 4 of these over a weekend!!

The totes are the perfect size to use for little scrap bags at a scrap book get together or to hold little tools on your stamping tables. They would also make a cute little gift holding bath salts or lotions in the bath room... They would also be great in a babies room holding all of the little things that babies need....very cute!!

The size is about 4 inches wide, 6 1/2 inches long and 4 1/2 deep and you could decorate them. I used all Stampin' Up products including ribbons, vanilla Rosettes (item #118774), designer buttons and Fabric Designer Brads (item #121880) to add a little pop to each tote. You can use your imagination to make yours.....hmmm Christmas fabric might be just the thing filled with hand made cookies or chocolates What do you think?
wouldn't this be too cute in your sewing room holding all of the bobbins, thread and pins in once place.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them.
