Stamp Set of the Month Club

Mouthwatering is the Stamp Set of the Month for February and this card is one they'll be receiving with their stamp set. 

This is a Trifold card and I colored the images with markers and I used Soft Suede, Lucky Limeaid and Melon Mambo.  On the inside it says "Happy Birthday".

I embossed the Soft Suede card stock with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Here's another one that I CASED from Leadership.  I'm not sure who created it but I loved it so much I had to copy it!!

How to cut and emboss with the Framelits

On Saturday I figured out how to cut and emboss with the Framelits and I'm pretty sure you're going to love them!!!  I demonstrated it live on UStream ....and  ....we also figured out how to emboss ....even if you don't own the Tab 2 Multi Purpose Platform.

I've got three cards to share with you ...the first one is .... I embossed the heart on the white card stock and added a heart from the P.S. I love you stamp set with a Stampin Dimensional.  (It may be hard to see the embossed heart on the white card stock.)

The next picture is the same card ....but I used Real Red card stock in place of the Whisper White.

The last card is I used the Framelits to cut the heart out of the white card stock and then I added the heart from P.S. I love you stamp set to the inside ...with a Stampin Dimensional.

I'm wrapping up the video and it should be available this afternoon. Click here to watch my video tutorial on how to cut and emboss with the Framelits.

I'll also provide you with a cheat sheet for you to print off on how to layer the Framelits to cut & emboss and how to emboss if you don't own a Tab 2 Multi Purpose Platform.

Here's the supplies I used:

• You Are Loved Stamp Set - Wood #123777 Clear #123779
• Whisper White CS #100730
• Lucky Limeaid Ink #122935

My Christmas Cards

I  had a different post for you today ...but my day isn't going the way I planned.  So, instead I'll show you my Christmas/Thank you cards.  They arrived today and I LOVE them!!

This first picture is the front of the card .....

And here's the inside ...it's a Trifold card and I made it in less than 2 minutes using My Digital Studio.  All I  had to do was insert the picture of Miss Bella ... add our names and send it to the Stampin Up printer. 

I used the SNOW FLURRIES STAMP BRUSH SET #128880 ($3.95) to make it....and the Trifold cards come pre-scored so all I have to do it fold it on the lines and stuff them in the envelopes.

Thanks & have a great day!!

Here's some basic instructions on how to make this card....

Emboss the Old Olive card stock with the Snow Burst Embossing Folder .....and sponge on White Craft ink....next ...  spray or sponge on the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

The main image is using the Rock N Roll technique and you add the Baja Breeze ink first and then rock in the Cajun Craze ink.  Add a Neutral Brad to the center and add Dimensionals to the back. 

Stamp "thank you" with Cajun Craze ink onto Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out with the Word Window Punch and add it to the Baja Breeze card stock cut from the Modern Label punch.

Hand Penned Holiday Card

My Hand Penned Holiday card is a pretty simple card to make but I love it!!! 

I used the Hand Penned stamp set with the Spice Cake Fabric and both can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I stamped "Give Thanks" onto the Very Vanilla card stock with Soft Suede ink and I tied the Spice Cake Fabric around the card and then added the Antique Brad.

I've also made a few Christmas cards with the Holly Berry Bouquet Fabric and I'll show you those soon.

When mailing these cards ....you can place a piece of thick card stock to the front of the card and it helps flatten it for mailing. 

Excuse the lopsided picture ...I had it grouped with my Blessing Mix box that I've already shown you ......and ......it's raining today and picture taking on raining days is not good (or I should say I haven't mastered getting good pictures on raining days).

Jolly Bingo Bits Christmas Card

This Christmas card was made with the Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Set ..... and the "Merry Christmas" is from the Bright Hopes stamp set found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

After you stamp the images you cut them out with the 1" Circle Punch and attach them to the Early Espresso card stock with a Stampin Dimensional.

Stamp Merry Christmas with the White Craft Ink and let it dry before you add the Pear Pizzazz Stitched Ribbon.

Thanks & have a great day!!

Saturday Swap #2

My Saturday Swap #2 is a Christmas card that I received from Terry and I believe I received it at Founders Circle back in September (but it may have been Convention).

Don't you love how she used the Petite Pennants Builder Punch for the Christmas tree?  You need three of the trees & you just fold them in half. 

She used the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder for the background ... or you could use Snow Burst from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

The Pennant Parade stamp set was used to make this card (the "merry" is in that set).

2. Punch a hole with the Crop a dile right above the fold line (using the larger hole punch) on all three scallops.
3. Punch two holes in the White/Island Indigo card stock.
4. Thread ribbon thru the scallops and you'll glue the ribbon down on the back of the Island Indigo card stock.

Almost every day I head to the doctor ..and then when I get home I'm out of energy.  I've hired a few designers but plan on hiring a few more and I haven't tackled the Instructions writer yet because I need help.  My assistant (Julie) is starting next Thursday and I'm going to have her help me with it.

This beautiful card was sent to me from one of my downline girls  ....thanks Rocio!!! 

The picture doesn't do the card justice!!  She used the Elements of Style stamp set ..... along with the Beyond the Garden Designer Paper.

Tune in tomorrow at 4pm Central time for a live drawing for a FREE Big Shot Die Machine.

(Still have a cold so please excuse my voice.) 

Click here to visit the Stamp with Chic n Scratch UStream channel. Click here for more details on the three Big Shots I'm giving away.

Tomorrow is Wednesday and I have scheduled my 12 weeks of Halloween week 6 & 7 ....but neither are ready.  I have zero plans this weekend and will try to knock out three or four of them so that I'm not only caught up but also ahead of the game.  Instead of waiting until Wednesday of next week ...if I feel well enough I'll go ahead it post it on my blog.  I'm really sorry about the delay ...and I appreciate your patience!!  

I'm working on emails for a few more hours ....and hopefully will get to the most pressing matters.

Thanks a million!!!!

Beautiful card from Susan

This card is so beautiful in person ....I wish my camera had taken a better picture!!   Susan sent this card to me and I love it ...... Thanks Susan!!!
