My little girl made this! Flower Fest Card

I have always had a Craft Room for my kids but when I started doing Stampin' Up, I kind of sort of, well I really took over their room. What that means is there are tons of supplies that they can use. The other night I was playing with my new  

Flower Fest Stamp set 

and showing my little girl how you can color in the flowers with our sponge daubers and she asked if she could make a card. Now she really loves to create but seldom makes cards. She makes bigger, more "out of the box" type of creations. She set to town and came up with this darling card. I love it and will use it for one of my workshops. I really need to create a "watermark" for her creations and not use mine!

Using the Sponge Daubers with Melon Mambo Ink

 You can go as light or as dark as you wish.  They are so much fun to use!

Stamp sets used:

Flower Fest- Summer Mini Catalog- LOVE this set!

Plus a SNEAKY Peek of our new stamp set called The Best of Everything coming soon on July 1st!

Materials used: 

Melon Mambo and Whisper White Cardstock

Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango Classic Inks

Pumpkin Pie ribbon which she cut down in width, so clever!

Stampin' Dimensionals of course!

Stay tuned for some more fun Flower Fest Cards!

My Little Girl's First Horse Show!

I'm letting them fly. You see I am a very nervous and over protective mom but this week my son started driver's ed and my daughter took a horse camp. I did good and let them go do these things but how I wish they were still toddlers and not involved in things that can be considered dangerous.
Here are some photos of my little girl

Hello Blossom Scallop Circle Card Tutorial!

Wow are these ever fun to make! This is not my original idea but my card design is. I have seen several videos on Scallop Easel cards.

I was playing around the other night and made my scallop too big for what I was trying to make ( the card I showed a few days ago). It had it sitting here for a few days and I had my Hello Blossoms stamp set right near it and thought, oh my gosh, this looks like so much fun for the Scallop Easel Card!

This is the finished look with the easel card open

This is how it looks when it is closed. It is not sitting real flat though as the button below was drying and I did not want it to touch yet. It should touch flat.

Here I got it poofed down a bit

To make, fold a piece of cardstock in half. Run it through the Big Shot using the #113468 Scallop Circle Die, but leave the top 5 or 6 scallops showing so they do not cut through the paper.  This will make up the top part of the card.

Then cut out a plain scallop circle with our 113468 Scallop Circle Die. This will be your base.  

Score the back part of the folded scallops at about 7 scallops down.  Adhere to the plain single scallop.

I used a solid Whisper White circle on the front of the card.  I used our # 121811
3 1/2 " Circle die. I decorated it with the Hello Blossom Stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog. I used our Marvelous Markers to color and stamp with. I then used Crystal Effects to stick the buttons on top of the flowers. The buttons are the Subtles Designer Buttons.

This is kind of a side view. The flowers with the buttons are the top of the card. The stamp was too cute to cover up with the word, "hello" on it so I used my Big Shot and our #113469 Scallop Circle #2 to make the inside Scallop a bit smaller. 

A better side view:

I colored it with the Markers. Now you can see the cute little hello!! I added a little button with my Crystal Effects!  Just tied a bit of linen thread through it first.

Here you go, the finished product!

These are just so easy and so much fun to make! I am on a kick with these!

Make and Takes from the Stampin' Up Alaskan Cruise!  We were so lucky to get our In Color Inks and Papers as a gift from Stampin' Up!
We got our packets on the Cruise but I was really dizzy that day so just took mine home. Here it is, one month later and I am finally making them. Nothing like crafting to make you feel better!

Here are some samples:

Amazing Fold Card

Pinwheel Card

Just for Fun Mini Album but I made a card instead

And a left over little Scrappy Card. I can't wait to get some of the In Color Designer Series Paper so I can add more layers to this card!

Aren't these colors so YUMMY! They really go well together. The nice thing is they will be in for 2 years starting July 1st!

New In Colors:
Pool Party
