YODA with Punches


Jeanne Defibaugh made this cute little Yoda using several punches and Framelits.  Jeanne told me she cased this little guy from another crafter.  If you have a little boy I have a feeling they would love getting this little Yoda in the mail.  Note the moon and stars also made with Stampin' Up! punches.

Cornhole Games


I thought I would share some fun pictures of our latest backyard game, Cornhole.  Above I am trying my hand at it.  My problem is I need to have a little more upper arm strength.  Cutting paper all day has not helped my upper arm strength as much as I was hoping I guess.  My team lost.  LOL



Mike's daughter Ashley was the Cornhole Queen.  She won every match.  Now she wants to have a tournament with other family members.  If I was as good as Ashley I would want one too.



And finally my husband, Mike with his crazy Thailand Hat on.  His son, Jason is overseas and sent him this hat from Thailand.  Mike loves it.  Me not so much.  lol

Hope you have had a good stamping day today.  If you need stamping supplies please think of me.

Happy Birthday Cards


Hi, Today I have three Birthday Greeting Cards cased and made by Jeanne Defibaugh.  Jeanne has been with me for several years coming to monthly Card Club Sessions.   Jeanne loves making cards and one day I expect she may take over my business when she retires from her full time employment.


 I think Jeanne was letting everyone know that the tractor on these blue jeans is definitely a John Deere since it is JD green.


Golf anyone?  A simple card for that golfer in the family.  A nice way to use punches.

Christmas in July!


Having Christmas in July is just not something I am comfortable doing.  However, since Cindy Powell will be taking a wonderful three month cruise this fall and winter it is important to have her Christmas Cards done and ready to mail. 

Do you have a ton of scrap paper you would love to use up?  Cindy came up with a great way to use up some of her scraps and make lovely Christmas cards all at the same time.  Anyone recognize 2015 Designer Series Paper pieces shown here in three of her cards?  Nice job Cindy.

Curtain or Drapery Fold Cards



Today I am posting two cards I did using the curtain or drapery fold technique.  Many demos have been using this technique and so I wanted to give it a go.  A couple of my customers had already tried this but each one is always a little different.  Cut your DSP at 11 1/2 by 4.  Score at 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 then measure down on the 10" side 1and1/2 ".  Cut from the scored 3 inch line up to the marked 1 1/2" line.  You will not use the triangle piece of DSP you just cut off for this card.

  • DSP is on page 172 "Affectionately Yours"
  • Card Stock on the above card is Night of Navy, Watermelon and Mint Macaron
  • Ink is Watermelon Wonder
  • Ribbon is the new 5/8 inch Watermelon stripped
  • The flower is from the Beautiful Bunch (retired) however any flower will do.
  • The punch coordinates with the Beautiful Bunch Stamp Set and is also used for the leaves
  • A large Rhinestone (also retired) sets off the flower.

  • Card Stock is Daffodil Delight and Crushed Cucumber for the leaves
  • The rest of the recipe is the same as above.

Family - Green Lantern


Okay no cards or scrap book pages today.  Today I am showing off my son, Kyle who loves to go to the Comic Con Events in Orlando.  Yes he goes as the Green Lantern (bet you had not guessed that).  lol 

I think Kyle makes a great one.  Not only with his looks but also with the beautiful outfit he had made just for him.  He is my Peter Pan!

Wild About Flowers

 My customers really helped me attain a new level during Sale-A-Brations this year.  I decided to offer a Free Stamp Class for each of my buying ladies.  We used the Stamp Set Wild About Flowers which is in the new 2016-17 Catalog on page 112.

We used the out going In Colors and Ribbon with the Wild About Flowers set.  Because I did not have the Lost Lagoon Ribbon we used the Washi tape for that card.




We stamped the flower to match the front on the inside of the card.  My customers like to have the inside without sentiment so they can write their own notes.

Have you given or gone to free classes?

Scrapbook Pages

 These are pages we did a couple of months ago during our Scrapbook Clubs.  Several years ago Stampin' UP! sold kits for scrapbooking.  I purchased multiple kits at that time and decided it was time to use them in my clubs.




Once again I used the petite petals punch with matching card stock to coordinate with the colors in the kit.  In each flower I placed a pearl which set them off nicely.



After placing several pieces on the bottom of the page, I took the negative navy and crushed curry outlines and added them above the crushed curry triangles.  It made a nice border to set off the other pieces.

The above is a close up of the upper right corner of the right page.
