Ink Chatter

RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour Day 2 - Heart of Hearts

Okay, so I got a little punchy...  LOL!  The new Sending Love Specialty DSP is so cool!  It shimmers and sparkles, which the picture does not show.  :-(  I punched a whole bunch of little hearts using the new Small heart punch, and arranged them in a bigger heart.  Love the new punches - so compact but easy to use!  Added some of the luscious new Satin Ribbon, a Pinking Hearts punch border and a Fire Rhinestone to finish it off.  I think this might be a good valentine card for my DH of 29+ years!  Full details below.

Whimsical Words stamp set (inside); Sending Love Specialty DSP; Very Vanilla, Real Red card stock; Real Red Classic Stampin' Pads; Real Red 5/8" Satin ribbon; Small heart Punch; Pinking Hearts Border Punch; Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads; Dimensionals

I hope you are enjoying the tour.  I did the complete circuit this morning and loved everything!  Click below for the next stop.

RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour Day 1 - Hug Note & Stand

Welcome to the RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour, showcasing all the Stampin' Up! stuff we LOVE.

I LOVE the new Occasions mini!  The clear mount stamps are a dream answer to a craft room that is crowded with stamp sets!  The new punches are also space savers.  The new butterfly Embosslits die is to die for! It cuts and embosses 4 butterflies from tiny to medium in one pass!  I created this friendship hug note using the new I {Heart} Hearts from the Occasions mini and the Whimsical Words Sale-A-Bration set. 

 

The stand is created by cutting 3 of the Decorative Accents pieces, folding each in half and gluing the halves together.  It makes a cute little stand that holds our new Hugs notes perfectly!  Here is another view of the stand.  I left it plain so that it won't compete with what it is holding.  P.S. Since it's a Bigz die, you can cut all 3 pieces at once!  Details below.

I {Heart} Hearts,  Whimsical Words stamp sets; Hugs sending Love Notes; Pretty In Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand card stock; Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pads; Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die; Decorative Accents Bigz die; Hemp twine; Fine Cosmo Stampin' Glitter; 2-way Glue Pen; Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive; Big Shot; Dimensionals

A Quiet Day at Home

My favorite chair also happens to be Moon & Shadow's favorite chair.   They were enjoying a nap in the sun, so I took a quick picture and created a quick page in My Digital Studio.  10 minutes, start to finish!  I love My Digital Studio!  It helps me create quick, spur of the moment scrapbook pages that  I normally would never have gotten around to!

Created in My Digital Studio.

Enjoy,

Lisa

Merry Christmas

Berry Christmas card

I made this card for my Mom to give to a dear friend.  It uses the flower from the Berry Christmas set to create a tree.  A good use for my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get everything lined up nicely.  Of course, all the little berries and the tree topping star are glittered!

I also stamped the inside and envelope.  Mom has to have the best!

Remember, this set retires on January 4.  If you'd like to buy one before it retires, contact me now!

Another craft show item from Randi Green

Randi got the idea for this cute gift card holder from Better Homes & Garden website here: Crisscross Gift Card Holder.  She used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP, Slit Punch and Round Tab Punch.  The Real Red insert is punched with the Slit Punch to hold the gift card.  Simple, elegant and suitable for feminine or masculine recipients!

Don't forget, the Holiday Mini catalog and the luscious Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP retire forever on January 4, 2010.  It will be here before you know it!

Enjoy,

Guest Designer - Randi Green

Randi made such cute tags with the Stampin’ Up! Merry & Merry Details Embosslits™ and Stampin’ Up! Two Tags bigz die that I had to share them with you!  Are these not the cutest things you have ever seen???  Look at the polka dots on the trees! So Cute!  Who wouldn't want a gift with one of these tags on it?

  

I'll have another great design from Randi tomorrow.

Enjoy,

Two-Faced!

I created a bunch of these magnetic bookmarks to sell at a craft show today.  Each bookmark is two-faced: one side is Team Edward and the other is Team Jacob.  I thought they might be good stocking stuffers for Twilight fans.

 

I used our Autumn Traditions DSP and heat embossed the team coins and Twilight.  Team Edward is gold, Team Jacob is silver and Twilight is black.  The Stampin' Up! embossing powder is very fine and and works perfectly for both detailed and solid images! 

Enjoy,

Charmed - I'm Sure!

This card uses the Charming stamp set in the Holiday Mini.  Charming is designed for the soon to be available Simply Adorned exclusive line of charms and chains, but it makes great cards too!  I used markers to ink the flowers and leaves.  To create the background for the top of the card, I stamped the round medallion image over and over with Versamark so that it looks like a texture instead of a specific image. 

I also used the Cottage Wall DSP and the cool Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon.  I love that ribbon!

Enjoy,
