Thinking of You

Wednesday, February 28, 2018
Hey stampers!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  This week has been a rough week for my family.  There was a death in the family and it has really shook me up.  I decided to use stamping as therapy and made a few cards.  You can see my first card, and read more about the situation HERE.  This was my second creation of the day.


I wanted an unconventional size for this card, so this measures at 3 1/2 x 5.  I wanted a clean look so I added another Whisper White panel to give the card some depth.  I still had my Delightful Daisy designer series paper out from my last card so I thought I would use up one of my scrap pieces and let the swirly pattern be my focal point.


I sponged the edges with a stamping sponge using Old Olive ink and wrapped some Whisper White Sheer 1/8" sheer ribbon twice around the entire panel and tied my bow.  I popped the entire panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.



The sentiment is from the Window Shopping set and is stamped in Old Olive and to add a little bling I added three Daffodil Delight sequins from the Iridescent Sequins set in varying sizes in the corner of the patterned paper panel.

I really love how this sweet and simple card turned out and hope that it will be a solace during this difficult time.

Teacher Appreciation

Wednesday, May 31, 2017
My sister contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me to make her something special for two of my nephew's teachers.  My nephew has a learning disability and these two teachers have went above and beyond for my nephew over these past several years, so my sister wanted something that would show that appreciation.


I fell in love with the Window Box bundle in the Occasions catalog and am so excited it made it to the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog!  I haven't had much time to play with it, but when my sister said she needed a teacher gift I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  


I used the Window Box Thinlit Dies to cut my Whisper White cardstock to make the box itself.  This box is pretty much one whole piece of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to give you an idea of the size.  My sister wanted the box to open on the side as opposed to the top so I used these instructions to create the box, stamped the hearts and circle stamp from the Window Shopping in Smoky Slate, and assembled the boxes using my multipurpose liquid glue.


I still had some Bermuda Bay glimmer paper from the Sale-A-Bration catalog that I have been hoarding that was the perfect accent to these boxes.  Even though this particular glimmer paper is no longer available I did find this awesome tutorial showing how you can make the Dazzling 
Diamonds Glimmer Paper into whatever color you want!


On this box I used the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper which is on SALE right now! Today is the LAST day to get your hands on this beauty before it's gone!  Tomorrow kicks off the NEW CATALOG and I can't guarantee that this paper will be on clearance or not so get some while you can!

I cut out the hearts using the Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies and my Big Shot and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals onto the different sides of the box, and stamped the 'Thinking of You' sentiment in Smoky Slate, and used my Triple Banner Punch for the edges.

I finished off the boxes with another Sale-A-Bration item that is not currently available: the 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.  I love how it gave that extra bit of soft shimmer to the entire look of the boxes and it is what is keeping the boxes closed.  I did tape a piece of cardstock over the ribbon on the bottom so the ribbon would stay in place even when the ribbon is untied or pulled off.  

My sister loved the boxes and I hope my nephew's teachers will feel the love that went into them as well. :) 

Don't Forget...
