More Nature Walk

I'm still playing with the Nature Walk set I received at the Boise Regionals. I said before that I really didn't think I would like this set, but I'm so happy Stampin' Up! chose to use this one. I would have never purchased it on my own and I would have missed out on all this fun!!

Scallop Candy Wrappers

These are cute, quick little candy wrapper-uppers. That's a word, right?

I found these little coconut candies at Cost Plus Market. They have the best variety of unusual candies. Always fun to look there!

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Love Letter Designer Series Paper

Stamp Set: Define Your Life

Accessories: Scallop Square die-cut and the Big Shot, baby!, Decorative Label Punch, Vintage Flower Adornments, 5-Petal Flower for the leaves, Very Vanilla Satin ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon

Edited To Add: How I made the tag...

The words are stamped in Black on Very Vanilla and punched out with the Decorative Label punch. The layering is the question. I punched 2 additional ones in colored cardstock and cut them apart and patched them on the back to created a layered look. The back now looks patched and messy, so I placed an additional punch over the back to make it look better.

A Note of Thanks

Are you getting tired of looking at this Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper? I am! After the quilted cards and all these, I still have a LOT of paper left over. Good thing the mini catalog goes for another month...I have a least a months worth of paper in the package. *Ü*

Cardstock: Rose Red, Very Vanilla

Stamp Set: Thank You Kindly, Fifth Avenue Floral

Accessories: Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper, Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist, Old Olive and Certainly Celery Taffeta Ribbon

Quilted Sale-a-bration

I had several scraps left over from my stamp club last week, so I made a few quick cards.

Rose Red

Marina Mist

Regal Rose

Stamp Set: Sale-a-bration Punch Bunch, With All My Heart

Nature Walk Easter Basket

I have been playing with the Nature Walk stamp set I received at Regionals. It is a beautiful set. Individually all the pieces are gorgeous, but it isn't one of those sets that all the pieces work together...at least for me. The bird cage is beautiful, but the bird is twice the size as the cage. The bee and the butterfly are huge in comparison to the bird. So for me, this is a set that I will use the pieces individually. Ü*

Cardstock: So Saffron, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie

Stamp Set: Nature Walk, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Accessories: Baskets & Blooms die-cut and the Big Shot, Corner Rounder, Scallop Edge Punch, Modern Label Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon, Paper Cutter w/ Scoring Blade

March Stamp Clubs

This months Stamp Club project for my local gals.

See you Thursday and Friday ladies!

Boise Regionals - So Much Fun!

I showed how to make Ribbon Bookmarks at the Boise Regionals on Saturday. Want to see???

These are 3 different size composition notebooks.

The small one is covered in Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper and the bookmark is made with the Floral Fusion die-cut Circle and scallop Circle Punches, and the smallest flower on the Fun Flowers die-cut.

The medium one is covered in Sweet Stitches Designer Series Paper and the bookmark is made with Fun Flowers die-cut and a Big Button.

The large one is covered in Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper and the bookmark is again made with the Fun flowers die-cut, this time with the Springtime Vintage Fabric.

Here is a ribbon bookmark off the book. If you would like to make one for yourself, the tutorial is in the 12 Days of Christmas 2010.

This one is my favorite! I made it with a Simply Adorned charm...and very handsome boys *Ü*

This is the one I demonstrated. I used the Vintage Springtime Designer Series paper and matching fabric.

Close up - Love those Trinket Keys

Here I am doin' my thing. This was a half day Regional so they didn't have a camera man. They use an Elmo and you have to watch yourself on the computer monitor in order to see what the people saw on the big screen. As if demonstrating wasn't nerve wracking enough...you had to be your own cameraman *Ü* It was pretty easy though.

Whew ... it's over! Bonnie Thurber to the rescue.

How fun is this? They gave all the attendees a little pin as a memento of the fun day. Thank you Stampin' Up! for coming to Boise.
