I haven't used this stamp set in a long time!   This is one of the cards from class the other week.

This is a great all around birthday set for anyone....I mean who doesn't like Ice cream???

I used Emerald Envy as my color base.....I just have so much of that card stock that I wanted to use some of it up.   I continued with the ribbon in Emerald Envy too.....so soft and flexible.

Post it note Holder and only 8 more days of Sale a bration

I have been carrying a post it note holder I found in my craft room.   I probably made it 10 years ago.

   So for April's class we are making an updated version.   Here is my old one.   I have been using it often since I found it about a week ago.

Here is the one we are making in class. I used Emerald Envy card stock and ink,  Peekaboo Peach ribbon, card stock and ink and whisper white card stock and the Everyday Label Punch.

Here is the one I made on my Facebook business page, Stampin with stampergirl on Wednesday, check out the video too how I made it there.    Stampin with stampergirl 

I used Flirty Flamingo card stock, ink and striped ribbon, Lemon Lime Twist and Whisper White card stocks too.  This time I used the Tailored TAg Punch that is in the Occasions catalog in the True Gentlemen Suite....I have used this punch many times, but none for guy cards.....yet.

Countdown to end of Sale a bration with Pandas!!!

There are only a few more days to take advantage of Sale a bration....  Nine, yes just 9 more days!

Today I am showing some cards I made with the Panda set - which I didn't want!!!!   I just wasn't excited about that set.....that is until I started seeing so many cute projects made with it.....so I ordered it and when it arrived, it was in French!   Even though this set is one for free, I really wanted it in English and had some plans to use it for my husband for our Anniversary February 14th.   So, I put it in an envelope and sent it back and got an English version.

I used it to make this card and this treat holder for our Anniversary.   I made my husband 25 cards and treats for our 25th Anniversary.  This treat holder is really tiny....It held a mint hard candy!

This is one of the cards I made him using this Panda set

I had my Stamparatus and wanted to try it out.....So I used this set again to make a Thank You card for my nephew.    This is the card I made for my nephew who brought my computer "up to speed"   It was so slow...

Aligning up the Thank You's straight was SO simple with this tool....really another item "I didn't want or need"  or so I thought til I got one!

Here is another Panda card I made with the same color theme.... Emerald Envy and Lemon Lime Twist.   I made 25 of these and sent them out to customers and friends back in Maryland who I have not seen in a few months.   I really miss them....and my daughters and grandchildren !!!!!!

I shoulda coulda used the Stamparatus for this card, but I didn't....   I thought about it the other night when I did a Facebook live video over at Stampin with Stampergirl. - check it out...    With the 2 plates to mount stamps on and 2 sides of each plate, I could of made these is probably half the time that it took me.

Live and Learn.    The Panda set is only going to be avaible to get for FREE for 9 more days.

So head on over to my website, place an order for $50 or more and you can choose the Panda Set for FREE.   or check out all the other FREEBIES you could choose from.    When you place your order, use the Hostess Code:  4FNXM3NE to get in the drawing for Hostess Freebies that I give away each month....but you gotta use the Hostess code.

A double open card

I loved this card   If I can figure out how to do a GIF, I will and share how it opens! 

A short post today since I am on the run today.....Visit my Mom and Adela

Church to stock the children's Sunday School classrooms.

This card opens up by pulling outward the inner layer of the Berry Burst card stock.     The base was made with Berry Burst card stock and for the moving part too.  There is a layer of Lemon Lime Twist card stock and then the Picture Perfect DSP on the card.   The greeting is from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set using Lemon Lime Twist ink.   I added 2 ribbons next to the greeting to give it a little sparkle.   The ribbons is the Lemon Lime Twist striped and the Berry Burst Silver edged ribbons.   

When I figure out how to make a GIF, I will show just how cute this card is!!!!

Sorry for the short post earlier today and was glad I could add this description to this post.

Brusho and Facebook live

I opened my Brusho and tried it for the first time on Facebook live  It was going so well....Well that is until I found out the audio portion was not working!!!!  Here are the cards I made with the papers I used the Brusho on. 

It was quick and easy,  the longest part was letting it dry.  You can also heat set it, which I did a little bit after the video.  Then the papers were curled so I set them under three acrylic blocks for the night and they were almost completely flat come morning.

I used the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and Swirly Bird stamp sets with versamark ink and white embossing powder.   Then came the Brusho and water - Prussion Blue and yellow.   I loved how they turned out.  I die cut the Butterfly using the yellow and Gamboge powders and the Butterfly Basics stamp set. 

The fourth piece I haven't done anything with yet.  What should I do?   I might cut out some dragonflies, or butterflies or maybe some flowers.   What do you think?

It was really a lot of fun, getting messy.   The mess was kept at a minimum.    You can go to my Facebook Business Page, Stampin with stampergirl;  and check out the video....of course there is no sound, maybe til the end.!

If you have these Brusho colors and haven't opened them, like me just waiting....Get them out and play.   Make sure you have some paper down to protect your workspace.   Make sure you have a paper towel or two to help with excess water.   And Get Creative!

Scrapbooking traditional, and Memories and More style

I haven't done scrapbooking for years, but that is going to change..

I founds some ladies who want to do some scrapbooking and truth be told.....I have a lot to do.    I am in the process of transferring some memories from my first trip to Disney with my girls.  Now they are married with children of their own.

This first page is from our Memories and More style of scrapbooking or memory keeping.   The 6 x 8 photo pocket pages have divided areas you add your photos or papers, embellishments, memorabilia to each section and you are done.   Turn it over and put another set on the other side, or leave blank.

This next page is the same style of memory keeping, just a larger page, 12 x 12

Here is a 2 page spread, traditional style.   12 x 12 paper.   places for photos and journaling  Just need page protectors and your done.   This layout is so versatile and could be for any occasion, trip or memories.

If you have stayed with me to the end of this post, this maybe your lucky day.   The first person who I can hand deliver these to who comments on this post will get these.   The rule is you must comment here and as long as you can meet me either in Palm Bay, Florida area or Baltimore, Maryland area.  You win!



I hope these inspire you to get those photos out of the boxes and into albums!
