My sister's birthday is tomorrow. This is the card I made for her. I used the stamp from Thoughts and Prayers as my inspiration.
I used the leaves from the XL Two Step Bird Punch and the flowers from the Trio Flower Punch to create my focal point. Two Way Glue works well to adhere the leaves. Then I added some silver beads from the Silver Bead Duo (you get beads and microbeads). The beads are a little shinier in real life and add a nice touch of bling. Birthday Wishes from Sincere Salutations is stamped in Rich Razzleberry. The background is Cottage Wall DSP. I also used the Scallop Trim Border Punch--this punch can be yours FREE with a Sale-a-Bration order.

I have a card for you today that features a few items from the Occasions Mini: Garden From the Heart stamp set, Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon and Sweet Pea DSP. I also used a few techniques: watercoloring, out of the box and paper piecing.
I stamped the hat on Watercolor Paper with Black Stazon. Then I cut around it so that just the sides were hanging out a bit for the out of the box technique. I stamped the ribbon from the hat on a scrap of Sweet Pea DSP and paper pieced it. I watercolored the hat and then used Stampin' Write Markers on the flowers.
Thanks for the visit!
I cleaned off some more shelves and have created a list (a rather long list) of retired Stampin' Up! stamp sets and accessories that I have for sale. Prices reflect about 30% off the original price. I have them organized by used and new/unmounted sets. Prices do NOT reflect shipping. If you would like to purchase any of the product, email me what you would like and I will figure priority shipping for you. Then I will send a PayPal link.
Take a look and see if you want to give any of these great stamp sets a new home! Even the used stamp sets are in great shape. A few of them have some wood staining, but the rubber is in great condition for all of them!

I have another Stamp Camp card to share with you. This card features the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel from the Occasions Mini.
We used the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel with Bravo Burgundy ink on a strip of Kraft card stock and on a strip of Bravo Burgundy. The strip of Kraft was distressed with the Cutter Tool Kit and sponged and layered onto a piece of Bravo Burgundy card stock.
We took the strip of Bravo Burgundy and punched two XL Fancy Flower Punches and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The flowers and butterfly were distressed and sponged as well. The center of the flower is a Kraft Taffeta knot. Take a piece of the taffeta and tie a knot twice in the center of it. Then punch a hole in the flower and pull the edges through until the knot is placed. Then add Stampin' Dimensionals between the two flowers and add to your card. Here's a few close ups.
Lastly, we stamped "thanks" from Fundamental Phrases on the Kraft background piece and sponged and distressed it as well.

Happy Friday! Today is Bloggers' Challenge and the theme is "think Spring!". I decided to share the basket we made at the library last weekend. The directions can be found here.
My basket is Certainly Celery. The band around it is made with Tea Party DSP and Certainly Celery 5/8" Grosgrain. On the front, I used So Saffron card stock for the base under my flower. The flower is Tea Party DSP punched with the XL Fancy Flower Punch from the Occasions Mini. I also used the Big Shot and Little Leaves Sizzlit and Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The center of the flower is Pretty in Pink Trio Fower Punch. The handle is secured with two Gold Brads.
The ladies at the library did a great job and were quite happy with the project. Of course, that makes me happy too!
Thanks for the visit!
Here's another card that we will make at Stamp Camp. Actually the girls will get to make two of these because they are smaller cards. I got this great idea from Jackie Topa.
Isn't that a great idea? Jackie is a very talented stamper! I used Razzleberry Lemonade DSP to create the egg. To get the shape, I used the Big Shot and the Oval Scallop Frame Bigz Die. My finishing touch is a flower made with the Boho Blossoms Punch and a Fire Circle Rhinestone Brad.
Thanks for the visit!
As I'm writing this post, I realize today is March 17, St. Patrick's Day. I should have an Irish card to show, but I don't. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you! But I do have another Stamp Camp card that has no stamping! My card features the XL Two Step Bird Punch.
I wish I could take credit for making tulips from the bird's wing, but I've seen many cards using this idea. Originally I was going to stamp "wonderful Mother" from Well Scripted on the front, but then decided I like the simple prettiness of the card as is.
My tulips are made with the XL Two Step Bird Punch in Summer Sun and Old Olive. The Whisper White panel was run through the Big Shot with the Texture Plates #4 (the squares). I think you can see them. My card is finished with the Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.
I hope you get to enjoy some yummy corned beef and all the fixin's.
Thanks for the visit!
Sorry for the late post, but at least I'm posting! Here's another March Stamp Camp card using Fox and Friends. I love this little monkey!
Nothing like just hanging around! I'll share my little trick with the monkeys and the twigs (from the Two Step XL Bird Punch). I didn't want to have to cut out the entire monkey because he's kind of tiny. So, I stamped him twice and then stamped his tail on scrap. I cut out just the tail part to work with the twig. Use Two Way Glue to adhere it and you can't even tell! I was pretty proud of myself for that one!
The DSP is from Sweet Pea DSP, which is in the Occasions Mini. I think this dotted pattern works perfectly with the monkeys.
Come back tomorrow. I have another Stamp Camp card to share.
Thanks for the visit!
Today is the last day to register for March's Stamp Camp. You can join us on Friday, March 19 at 7pm at my house in Plainfield, IL or on Sunday, March 21 at 12pm in Hoffman Estates. I have 2 options for this months Stamp Camp. For all the information and PayPal links, click here.
Today I'm sharing the technique card for Stamp Camp. The technique is Brick Wall. It's a more advanced technique, but one well worth learning. Here's the card.
The Pretty in Pink panel was through the Big Shot with the Texture #1 plates (small dots). I know you can't really see it. The image from Thoughtful Prayers in stamped on a piece of the Sweet Pea DSP from the Occasions Mini.
