Sneak Peek – Oval Accents

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card showcases one of the new dies in the 2012/2013 Catalog called Bigz Clear Oval Accent  Die.   It coordinates with the new Forever with You Stamp Set (page 132 of the new catalog). Like the framelits dies, it's clear so you can see where you are placing the die on the card stock.  For the background, I used the Everyday Enchante DSP from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with Poppy… Read More »

Petite Purse Trio

Hi Stampin' Friends I made 3 purses from the Petite Purse Bigz Die in less than one hour.  I was feeling bad because the 1st one took me so long to make and I wanted to show you how really easy and quick it is to make these adorable purses. I decide to use the retiring designer series paper and card stock. In this case, the Berry Blossoms Designer Series… Read More »

Summer Afternoon – Petite Purse

 Hi Stampin' Friends It's a beautiful weekend in Northwest Arkansas.  I hope you are having pleasant weather. It's been such a nice spring this year. Well, I finally finished the petite purse – not that it was that hard to make but I had to redo it a couple of times because I kept making dumb mistakes.  The ladies will be making the purse at Jane's private class on Monday… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Summer Afternoon

Hi Stampin' Friends I was a bad girl and gone for most of the day so I didn't get a chance to finish up the petite purse 3D project.  I do have a card to show you that the ladies will be making at the Big Shot Class on Friday, 25 May 2012.  I again used the Comfort Cafe DSP (love, love it!!!) and the Hostess Stamp Set called Summer… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Layered Labels and Comfort Cafe DSP

I am also working on 3D project (Petite Purse Bigz L Die) that goes with the card, but I didn't finish it in time for today's post.  I'll have it ready for tomorrow's post. The sentiment is layered… Read More »

The perfect summer job

Hi Stampin' Friends Imagine an ad that reads like this: Wanted – someone who wants to make their own hours, determine their own income, and work around their family and other activities while working with great people and having fun helping them to create their own handmade cards and scrapbooks (and sometimes while enjoying snacks!). This candidate will receive all the free training and support that they need, including lots… Read More »

In-color charts (2012/2013)

Hi ladies: Thought you might like the 2012/2013 in-color charts.  I did not make the charts but am passing them along.   These are modeled after the charts made a few years ago at convention – probably when we had the color renovation.  Print out on Whisper White card stock.  Then the first square punch a square of card stock, the second square scribble the marker – I did both ends,… Read More »
