Tea Shoppe

Back to my shoebox swaps... I haven't shared them all with you!  These two gorgeous cards were created using our new Tea Shoppe stamp set.  It's a set of 10 images - great for birthdays, thank you's or anytime "friend" cards.  :)

I hope you enjoyed these cards - look for more to come!  I had to get this set for myself!!!  :)

Love is in the Air...

Need a fun Valentine gift this season?  How about sending a hand-stamped Valentine with a candy treat...

I created this sour cream container using our Paper Crimper and Sticky Strip, Scalloped Heart Embosslit and Heart of Hearts stamp set.  Oh - and added a touch of bling with a rhinestone gem.

I have a decorative plate of these treats in my entry way table.  I don't do a lot of seasonal decorating, but I do like to add a few hand-stamped touches here and there.

The card was created with our Elegant Lines embossing folder, Lovely Letters stamp set, Silver Glimmer paper and square punches.  It's quick and easy, too.  Gotta love that!!!!

 

Remember my fishy post from a couple of days ago?  These were projects for my recent Valentine's party.  If you'd like to host a party, please contact me at (913)441-6509 or shellyluvsstamps@earthlink.net.  Sale-a-bration is just a couple of days away and there are AWESOME perks for hostesses!!!

Plus, you get to stamp, have fun with friends and take home cute projects like these!!!  :)

Vintage Scrapbook Layout

Each month I offer a scrapbook layout class.  Next offering is Sunday, February 5th at 2:00 PM.  Please RSVP to shellyluvsstamps@earthlink.net by 2/1/12 if you would like to join us. Cost is $10 per 2 page layout.  Class fee is 1/2 price if you place a $25+ order the day of class.

Here's what we made in January:

I think it has a very vintage feel to it but would lend itself to elegant occasions or everyday black and white photos.  I used the Mocha Morning Speciality papers which are foiled and flock - very pretty in person!  My assistant Olivia (smile) helped me cut the Little Leaves sizzlets from our Brushed Gold Cardstock and Fancy Flowers.  Notice I also used the Embossing Folders for the flowers to give them texture and dimension.  I found this layout on our demo website - Stampin' Connections - access to this website is just one of the awesome perks of being a demo!!!!

Here's a better view of each page:

Sweet Treat Cups

Recently I shared this project at a Valentine's Day workshop.  I used our Sweet Treat cups and Sweet Centers stamp set.  The goodies are Lemonheads - one of my husband's favorite candies so I have to hide them if I want to use them for stamping projects.  (wink)

You'll need the 1 3/4" circle punch to go use with the treat cups. 

Here's a great tutorial on how to quickly and easily incorporate treat cups into your stamping - don't be afraid!!!  :)

Big Shot Crazy!

There are so many new products for the Big Shot in the Occasions Mini Catalog... and I wanted them all!  :)

Here's a card created with our new Doily Sizzlit.  Most of our sizzlits are tiny little embellishment, but this is Sizzlit on Steroids!  It's almost the size of the card.  It's so pretty in person, and I've seen multiple uses for it.  Of course, I love it used full-size on this card, but I have seen it cut up into smaller pieces and used as bits of "lace" on cards and 3-d projects.

This is from my Shoebox Swap last weekend.  Denise brought this idea for everyone to stamp.  I added rhinestone gems to the butterflies.  Love the bit of bling!

Check out this video featuring Carrie Cudney from Stampin' Up.  She is fabulous, and I adore her mainstage presentations.  I hope to see her next week at Leadership in San Antonio.

 

 

If you need the Doily Sizzlit like I do, you can go to my website and order it online anytime 24/7.  Visit www.shellymay.stampinup.net or click on the link at the top of my blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Rosettes... Somebody Stop Me!!!

My favorite new product in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Rosettes XL Bigz Die that you use in our Big Shot machine.  I love the look of the rosettes, and this die makes it so quick and easy to create perfect rosettes.

Check out this video on how to use the die to create rosettes: 

 

 

Now, here's what I've been making with my die:

 

So what to do with all these rosettes...

and a naked tree...

BAM!  What do you think of my Valentine's display?

I love it!

The heart ornaments are created with the Silver and Red Glimmer Papers.  They make great fillers!

Since taking these pictures, I have added even more rosettes!  I also created rosettes for a few other home decor projects that I will show you soon.  You need this die!  It is so fun!!  :)

Christmas Leftovers

I wanted to share some crafty gifts that we received this Christmas from talented family members.  Of course, I received tons of hand-stamped Christmas cards which I keep forever and ever it seems.  :) 

This year my Aunt Judy made this:

It's one of those icicle candles.  You add ice to hot wax and it creates a really interesting surface to the candle.  Here's a top view:

And then from Arizona, Aunt Collette sent the kids gift cards in these holders:

It's a decorated CD case.  I've made these before but never one that looked like this.  I love it and snagged it for a sample for next year.  :)  Here's the open view:

Who knew we had such crafty family members!  :)

Have you seen it????
