Something Else

Hello everyone,

I saw a video on YouTube and was inspired to create some paper yummies.  Here's what I made using Stampin' Up's Latte Love designer paper (on the right).  I added some die cuts I had made using images found on Google Images.


The left shows beautiful blue designer paper from Stampin' Up! that I picked up when I first started in November last year as a Hobbyist.  The die cuts used are birds, something I received in a swap from Swap-bot.com.

These little pocket folios and mini folder are from Septeria18 on YouTube.  I love the pocket folios that can be filled with goodies like stickers, other papers, etc.

Happy Stamping!

Stippled Roses

 Hello peeps,

I have the Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses stamp and die set.  I haven't used it much because I had no idea what I was going to do with it.  

One day, I sat down and decided to start coloring it, thinking I'd put it on a card.  There's one big set of roses and smaller roses to stamp with some leaves.  Here's what I did after coloring it using my Copics.


I could not figure how to layout the smaller roses on a card and the entire ordeal left me with no ideas to configure a card at all, so I put them all on one of my journal books.

I covered it with vinyl to protect the image.  It's actually very pretty to look at.  Maybe next time, I can put it on a card.

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender

Hello everyone,

   I am excited to finally get a chance to use the Painted Lavender stamp and die set from Stampin' Up! 

   I purchased the set awhile back but wanted to wait for spring to use them.  Check this out:


   I tried to case a card from another demonstrator but mine did not come out the way hers did, so I made it work for me.  I used the Painted Lavender designer paper but the card stock came from my own stash.


   The Painted Lavender bundle was very popular and it seemed everyone had purchased it so it was great seeing various types of projects made using the stamps, dies and paper bundle.


   I kept mine simple and only added the gems that came with the bundle to give the card a bit of variety.


   I also added a butterfly sticker from my stash to add interest since the cards are so plain.


   I did use different colored cardstock to make floral dies that would be a subtle contrast to the designer series paper.


   The sentiment came from my stash, something simple that I type in Microsoft Word.

   I really enjoyed seeing the end result and who knows, one of these days, I'll start back doing videos.

Happy Stamping!
