Stamp to the MAX Blog Hop!

It's that time again, The holidays!  Thanks for Hopping over from Martha's Blog. This month we are doing Christmas! I did a few simple but pretty cards. The first one is on Very Vanilla on card stock. I used Old Olive and Early Espresso ink, Snow Swirled stamp set, ribbon and a sentiment. I made another one just like it but Swapped out Old Olive for Red Riding Hood.

Next  I took the Very Vanilla card stock and the paper stack out of the holiday catalog. I also used the snowflake die and misted it and added a pearl. This is so CUTE! Hope you enjoyed, I am sure you will LOVE what Jill www.jillsstampingcorner.com has in store. Get inspired!

UDI INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

Our inspiration for this week is a jack-o-lantern. I had slacked last week, but I am kicking myself to keep motivated! Very busy time of the year, and I have done a lot of challenges and cards, so since I am kind of over Halloween before it is here I decided to use the colors in a non Halloween way! I LOVE this card and this set Fabulous Florets with the matching embossing folder. My little "Thanks" in the corner in white is a cute touch! Hope you enjoy! Next up CHRISTMAS! WOW!

WOW! The color combos had me stumped. But then I remembered this wonderful layout from PINTREST!!! that would be perfect for this kind of challenge. The colors we were using were- Real Red, Pacific Point, Tango Tangerine, Lucky Limeade, and Crumb Cake. I also used the Cute Curly stamp set, BOHO Blossoms punch, extra large oval punch, mini silver brads, and designer frames textured impressions embossing folder. I used the oval one.I hope you have enjoyed this and it gets motivated!

September Blog Hop

Well, It's that time again! Bloghop!I am the last stop! I am obsessed with PINTREST, So my inspiration came from there. This is a toilet paper roll. I covered it with Howlstooth&Scaringbone DSP punched holes in the sides and used ribbon for the handle. Then I punched a scallop in grey and one in very vanilla stamped mt favorite little spider from googly ghouls stamp set from holiday catalog. Of course I added the googlies. Last I took tangerine,black and more mustard paper, crimped and cut into strips for filler! A great easy ways to make treat bags for the kids classes. Holds a few kisses!
 I decided to make a card to coordinate with the goodie bag. I used tangerine, black, very vanilla and Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP.  I cut the strips and used the corner punch the ends of the strips, added a button with thread
I hope you have enjoyed my fun simple projects. Glad you stopped by! Have a great day!

Summer smooches

 I used daffodil, pacific point ,razzleberry,  and summer smooches dsp.This card layout is so awesome, anything will work with this, you can replace the flower with a butterfly or one of the new frame lit shapes! Play and Enjoy!
This is a 5x7 note pad cover with the daffodil paper. I cut paper at 5 and left length so you have a bit to go over the top, and enough to make a pocket at the bottom. I used the brads to hold pocket, and you can decorate anyway you'd like. I made this as a gift set..pocket is great for business cards.

Stamp to the Max Blog Hop

"Welcome to our Stamp to the Max blog hop!" We hope you are inspired by our projects using products from the 2012/2013 catalog. You may have arrived from Elizabeth Harris's blog. I am stop #6on the blog hop! I created a note pad and a card. The note pad I bought at the dollar store, 5 in a package for a dollar.

They are 3 1/2x5. I cut Primrose Petals 3 1/2 x6 you need some extra to hot glue over the top. I used the scor pal to score across the top and every 1/4 inch so it bent easily over the top. Then I used the \Twitterpad DSP to make a rosette, put a cute button and the Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon on the top, stamped a sentiment from teeny tiny wishes and that's it! so cute and easy! I made a bunch of themed ones for my children's teachers at school. You can also do 5x7 ones, if you cute the length an inch or two loner you can fold bottom up adhere with a brad on each side and create a cute pocket! The note pad I bought at the dollar store, 5 in a package for a dollar.
