ICYMI Friday April 29, 2016

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Friday  friends ! 

I wanted to share with you  that Sunday afternoon I got to  add a ton of rhinestones to my vest and Oh My Goodness!!!  It's so gorgeous ! 

so sparkly  and  yes  a little time consuming BUT so worth  every bit of the 3 1/2-4 hours to do my whole vest It's very easy but like I mentioned time consuming  .

I will be adding more once I order some of my own rhinestones  and  get all my patches added to my vest .

I also filmed a video for you  that I will post next week just in case you want to  add some sparkle to something you  have . Trust me I  would be adding  rhinestones to everything if it was up to me~  NO I'm not kidding .

We had  customer Appreciation day at our local Harley store and  guess what? My amazing man  bought me a Mothers day present a little early , but it could have been  that  he was getting  pressure from the LOH ladies  and  plus the jacket was  marked  down over $140.00 ...Yes that's a lot  but seriously the joke is it's called the HD store  because nothing in there is rarely under Hundred Dollars= HD store LOL!

I  am not  normally a "coat" person when riding but my  hubby is always wanting to get me a coat  so he asked if I would try this one  on and all the LOH ladies were like we have that same coat and they all loved it.  Everyone encouraged me to try it on, of course not really thinking I was going to love it~ I  did try it on  and Oh MY Goodness  It's amazing !

PLUS it has separate  fleece liner inside  with thumb cuff holes  ( my favorite ) so really it was like (2 )  jackets for 1  LOL!  I  love it .

ICYMI Here are the videos that were posted on my blog this week .

Chalk Marker Resist video

Hi Stampers,

Today we will be making  this card . 

I made this card  in a group of (5)  for my local stamp club hostess Carol  this last Saturday.

I started making this card using a white crayola crayon but found out  that using the

Chalk Marker # 132133 is also a great resist  technique too.

The  1st card I made ( shown above)  I used the Crayon resist ...this card  I used Helping me Grow  stamp set... but then  tried the chalk marker  and  it's even better  since there is no crayon flakes  ending up on my ink pad  with the Chalk Marker .

The cards I made for Carol I used the Garden in Bloom stamp set # 139433 

which I am so happy both stamp sets are in the new catalog ~ YAHOO!

•  You can purchase them both right now .

All supplies I used in today's video is posted below  for quick reference .

• Extra Large Oval punch # 119859 in on the retirement list  :

Happy Spring .

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Monday friends ! 

Oh my goodness  I finally got a few minutes to play with this month Paper Pumpkin and  WOW  the project this month is so  AWESOME  and Plus we got an  a extra FREE stamp set  included in this month's kit YAHOO! 

 The  stamps are  so cute . I really love the project this month  which is a cute  wreath   when I seen it I immediately thought I would need my hot glue gun but I was pleasantly surprised all the  greenery already had adhesive on it  so it was just a matter of peeling the backing off and wrapping  it around the  Styrofoam~  super easy peasy !! 

 

I think the longest part in making this months project was   figuring out the ribbon and tying the  bow which I  just did my own thing in the end .

I love  making home decor items for my stamping studio. I have a special place for it now on my wall .

Thank you everyone who has signed up for Paper Pumpkin I really hope you loved this months kit as much as I do .

Dawn's Sunday Share April 24, 2016

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday  friends, 

Last night we had  my local club  and  I know I say this each time they come over BUT seriously  we have so much fun .  The kind of fun that's  good for the soul . lots of  laughing and of course stamping . I will share the  cards  we made this upcoming week and the next week .

I  will get the videos made on both of the Make & Takes  PLUS the hostess cards I made for Carol.

This afternoon I am going over to  Noel's  home and we will be  adding sparkles to our  vests  I am so excited .  I  heard  we need a special tool   that looks like a welding rod  of sorts  and of course the  crystals . I will post a video on how we did it  once I finish my vest . It's seriously so gorgeous !!  PLUS Noel will have purple  crystals  too  BUT I think I may stick with the  clear crystals  but who knows It may change once I start  adding them . 

• I added  photos to  the Onstage photo gallery HERE 

For my Sunday Share I seen  this on Facebook   I was  so surprised on  what I seen when I was expecting something else~ It's pretty   funny!

ICYMI Friday April 22, 2016

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Friday friends ! 

ICYMI here are the (2) videos I shared  this week .

• Coloring the fish from the Bear Hugs stamp set  click HERE for that video 
• Making the flower using the Bouquet Bigz die for the Frame Card  click HERE for that video .

That cute bear card I made for a swap contest at Onstage last week ...

I ended up needing to make a 2nd one just like the one shown above for Janet .

Janet & Susan judged the contest and they couldn't share the card so I mentioned to Janet I would make her the same card when I got home, so needless to say BOY am I glad I wrote down those measurements LOL! 

Yesterday I put my hubby to work and he cut the card stock for my M&T's  for club this Saturday evening .. This was the 1st time he ever cut card stock for me and I must say he did outstanding. :)  

I'm so very Thankful !  I love having an extra set of hands, that is ALWAYS so very helpful.

 This weekend  I will be working on getting my videos filmed  for this upcoming week and then maybe  start sorting out my retired  items . 

This upcoming week I am placing my  order for all the brand new 2016/17  catalogs to be shipped out to my customers. If you placed an order of a minimum of $50 with me over the last year you will get a hard copy of the new catalog in your mail box some time after May 8th catalogs will be  shipping out .

PLEASE if you do NOT get  your catalog  by June 1st PLEASE let me know ASAP!

Highlights from Onstage 2016

Hi Stampers,

Happy Thursday friends ! 

I thought since I don't have  a video for you today I would share some photos of OnStage  last week .

The Brand new catalog is AMAZING probably the BEST  ever in my opinion .

The new (5) In colors are AWESOME! ( see above photo)  and of course have cute names like

• Dapper Denim
• Emerald Envy
• Flirty Flamingo 
• Peekaboo Peach 
• Sweet Sugarplum 

I  made a few photo collage's of our time in Salt Lake City 

But I thought this photo was perfect stand alone photo  LOL! 

My Hubby  had fun with the Demonstrator Message board .

Of course he erased the message once we all took photos of him getting busted .

We were busy every single day while at Onstage .

1 hour after landing we met up backstage to rehearse my presentation we were then out of there by 5 pm then heading out to a stamping event  with friends until around 10 pm . 

We had an Advisory Board Alumni Dinner  and we all swaps cards  had a great dinner and  getting caught up with everyone is always a highlight to any Stampin'Up!  event .

Stampin'Up!  had a special event planned for us on Thursday night with Dinner and the fun entertainment was a dueling piano team which was AWESOME ! 

Then my presentation was Friday .

I am so very Thankful I got through without crying  since my Million Dollar event a year and a half ago is still one of the best experiences we've ever had, Then  getting the actual stamp set I designed  in my hands  to do a presentation on was  overwhelming .

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes .

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

I will be showing you all my Million Dollar stamp set very soon .

Thank you for your patience I will share the name of my stamp set 

It's called One Wild Ride  on page 115 in the new annual catalog ( starting June 1, 2016)  it has 11 stamps in the set and a coordinating  Punch and Framelits and comes in Wood and  Clear mount ~ YAHOO! 

By the name you can probably imagine what it is right ??? 

Yes it's an amazing Motorcycle stamp set BUT NOT just any motorcycle ....

It's my hubby's Road King Classic Harley Davidson~ AWESOME!! It's seriously the BEST stamp set ever  :) 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Saturday after general session  SU! had a leadership  seminar  which was  so amazing and jammed packed with  so much  information .  Saturday evening we had a special dinner for our amazing friend  & Stampin'Up! 's newest Million Dollar achiever Linda that fellowship  was amazing as well .

I have been playing catch up since getting home  Sunday evening  and I also have  my local club  night this Saturday so I need to still get  all those projects  designed / cut out / set up  . 

This Sunday afternoon I will be  attending  an event with my LOH ladies  and we will be  adding sparkles to our vest ~ I am so excited~ stay tuned I will show you mine when I get it done .

Thanks for peeking in today .

 I made my fish like Stampin'Up!  made them in the Occasions catalog  I am not going for accuracy on the Salmon fish  But I still love them  hanging on Linen Thread # 104199 

I did do a quick tip video on how I colored the fish &  that's  posted below .

Even though I knew this was going to be a masculine card  (  Fathers Day or Birthday card ) I still had to add a tiny bit of glitter to the honey  jars ( front and inside )  and then a tad bit to the fishes .

I also used the Basic Pearls # 119247  for the bears eyes ~ I just colored the tiny pearls  with a black sharpie ( cute huh?) 

I also used my  favorite background stamp 

Hardwood

Welcome Baby Corner Pop Up card

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Monday friends !

RETIREMENT LIST will be posted at

• 1:00 pm Mountain time zone  TODAY! 

Please check back here  for the list at that time which will be the following times in other time zones 

• Pacific time 12:00 pm
• Central time 2:00 pm 
• Eastern time 3:00 pm 

Oh my goodness on a scale of 1-10 on cuteness I think this baby card is off the charts . Only because of the inside .

I am giving credit to  my amazing  man  for this clever idea he wanted me to try  on the inside of today's card .

He  said why not add a banner  to the inside so when it opens up it's right there ... of course I have to add BABY to the banner, with the Blushing Bride Glimmer paper #140550  too .

I tried using the Banner punch # 133519 but that was a tad bit small for my Little Letter Thinlits # 133730

so I went with the 3/4" circle punch instead .

 making the Corner Pop Up card was easy.

You can check out the video how I made the the corner pop up card that I posted a few weeks ago HERE

but making the banner  took the longest time .

Maybe it was because I was figuring it out as I went along,

I don't really know .... I do know I really love the way it turned out !!

Here is another photo of the inside .

For the bunny on the front I used the

Friends & Flowers stamp set

• (w)#140508
• (c) # 140511

Made with Love stamp set # 138662

for all the baby sayings inside and also the cute cat and onsies with the bib that says "Happy Hour" OMG!! ~ so stinking cute!!

ICYMI Friday April 16, 2016

Hi Stampers,

Happy Friday  friends ! 

Today's the day I am doing my presentation this afternoon at general session / main stage ...to say I am nervous is an understatement .

I have just a few minutes to share my Million Dollar stamp set  and show them all the projects I made using this amazing stamp set .

There will be even more extra cards  on the display board because I did go a little crazy designing cards, so much so that I had to many and they all couldn't fit into my presentation  BUT  all the extras will be on display  just not onstage  with me to highlight them .

• Don't worry as soon as I get the okay I will share them all with you right here on my blog .

If you think of me today Please just say a quick prayer that everything will be great  for the presentation  and  my nerves will be calm .

 I have never been one that loves talking in front of people  no matter at convention / church  or a small  group it's all the same .

I just want to be able to cover everything / say  all that I am suppose to and not miss something  and of course  have everything  up there.

Thank you  so much for your prayers and encouragement .

Here are the 2 videos I posted this week ICYMI .

Don't worry if you didn't get the glitter tape, I will show you  other cute ideas for decorating your clothespins  for your treat bag  closure like one idea shown in photo above using the Balloon Bouquet punch # 140609 with  Glimmer paper  .

Pears from the Farmers Market

Hi Stampers,

Happy Tuesday friends ! 

 This card has a few layers and not much stamping .... Well some stamping with the Hardwood stamp  for the background  and then the greetings on the front and inside But  mostly  cutting and layers  is what this card  focuses on .

The pears I hand cut out from the Farmers Marker designer paper # 138448

The funny thing is I really tried to hand cut the stems out with the pears and well out of the 5 I cut out only 2 with stems survived LOL! 

 

Even without all the stems and leaves, I still love this card .

Here is the inside  decorated  with the pears  I used the Apple of my Eye stamp set # 140736 for both the front and inside greetings .

 I think I have found a  small  pattern in my creations when I actually  sit down and create just for fun I tend to lean towards the multi layer kind of cards  so needless to say  since I  found  a little extra time to create goodies for my blog over the next week or so  you will see a few cards with lots of layers .

If you are one that  tends to  create with minimal  layers.... just cut back~ Trust me  there is no right or wrong in  creating~ it's just whatever you prefer .

Here is the inside~ I layered a couple of  those hand cut out pears  on the inside too .

Okay now onto the measurements of my card :

( aren't you surprised I actually remembered to write all these down ?)

Early Espresso card stock # 119686

• cut at 4 1/4" x 11 Scored at 5 1/2"

Crumb Cake card stock # 120953

• cut at 4" x 5 1/8"

Very Vanilla card stock # 101650 ( Hardwood Background stamped on)

• cut at 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" ( cut that piece after you stamp it  cut  at 1 1/4")
• the other piece after you cut it should measure 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" 

Early Espresso card stock # 119686

• cut  1 3/8" x 4 7/8" ( layering for the Very Vanilla pieces above )
• cut at 2 3/8" x 4 7/8" 

Layer with Pears :

Very Vanilla  card stock # 101650 

• cut at 2 3/4" x 3 1/4"

Farmers Marker Designer paper # 138448

Hershey Chocolate Nugget holder video

Hi Stampers,

Today we will be making this adorable Hershey Nugget holder .

The idea came from one of my Glitter Queens Sara Lincoln  you can view her video and blog HERE .

I tweaked mine by making mine a Birthday treat with balloons and I even added a  space to sign and stamp another greeting on the back side .

Such a sweet little gift for that special someone you don't want to forget on their special day.

This sweet holder  can be made for many different occasions.

Here is what the holder looks like from the side where the little nuggets ( 3) of them slide into .

Here are the measurements of the  pieces  we will be using in today's video :

Pool Party card stock #122922

• cut at 3" x 7 1/2"

Whisper White card stock # 100730

• cut at 1 1/4" x 2 7/8"

Friendship is the Spice of life ....

Hi Stampers,

Happy Tuesday friends ! 

I want to let you know there is an update about the Weekly Deals  going away . Details are posted below  don't miss the  update .

I got out my Gifts from the Garden stamp set

• (w)# 138718
• (c)# 139356

and made this beauty  YES tons of layers  ( Love layers )

I think this card is just beautiful  Plus I  haven't used the Farmers Market  designer paper # 138448  in so long.

• It was a lot of fun making this card .

Yes if  you count the layers, there's a total of (6) just on the main base of today's card LOL! .

 MY thought  process was that I mainly wanted the Very Vanilla behind the  deeper shades of Mossy Meadow  and Blackberry bliss and between the 2 layers of the Farmers Market  to have them pop out  more... 

• so  lets get to all those measurements shall we LOL!

Blackberry Bliss card stock # 133675

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Very Vanilla card stock # 101650

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Mossy Meadow card stock # 133676

• cut at 4" 5 1/4"

Farmers Market designer paper # 138448

• cut at  3 3/4" x 5"

Very Vanilla card stock # 101650

• cut at 3" x 4" (  edge torn ) 

Farmers Market designer paper # 138448

• cut at 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" ( edge torn ) added Basic Pearls # 119247

Top layer:

Blackberry Bliss card stock # 133675 ( Edge torn & added (3)  Mini Silver Brads) 

• cut at 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"

Mossy Meadow card stock # 133676

• cut at 3" x 2 7/8"

Very Vanilla card stock # 101650

• cut at 2 3/4" x 2 5/8"

Strip  is cut at 3/4" wide and I used the 1" square punch to flag the ends layers it on top of Blackberry Bliss card stock # 133675 

I also added (3) Mini  Silver Brads #122941 on the front bottom layer ,

I also stamped the pots  and hand cut them out and popped them up on  Stampin Dimensionals # 104430. 

Now the inside I did keep simple and I love that saying  from

Suite Saying stamp set

• (w)# 140709
• (c)# 140712

Mossy Meadow card stock # 133676

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Very Vanilla card stock # 101650

• cut at 3 3/4" x 5"

and a strip of the Farmers Market designer paper # 138448 

• cut at 1" x 5"

I just hand cut out the greeting on Very Vanilla  & the Blackberry Bliss layer for the inside .

I have added all the supplies  I used on today's card  below for a quick click reference. 

Dawn's Update : Weekly Deals will be  going away in 2 weeks  the last weekly Deals will  run through the April 18th .

Weekly Deals began to help reduce overstocked inventory. As we've reduced excess inventory, the variety of products available for Weekly Deals has decreased,

It will be replaced with " Special Offers " which  will be less frequent when inventory allows .

Trimmer blades  update ,

There is a shipment coming in  and  starting today at 12 noon ( Mountain time ) you can order the

• Cutting Blades# 126995

 but  the supplies will not last long.

Stampin'Up! will notify  when the next shipment will be in. So sorry for the inconvenience .

Happy Birthday Balloons

Hi Stampers,

Happy Monday friends ! 

This card  doesn't truly  show all the sparkle on it but trust me it  has LOTS! 

• Pool Party Glitter 3/8" ribbon # 140561
• Dazzling Diamonds  Glimmer Paper # 135315
• Wink of Stella  clear # 141897

I also used my  favorite Lucky Stars embossing folder #135817 for the background.

The Wink of Stella was added to all those stars on the background Plus I  colored the tiny balloons  from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack # 133787 with the  sparkle in a pen ( Wink of Stella ) .

I love the Pool Party glitter ribbon. I used the White Gel Pen# 105021 for the  polka dots on the balloons  

The "Happy Birthday to you" is from the

Sunburst Sayings stamp set 

• (w)# 140722
• (c)#140725

I punched that out with the 1 3/8" Circle punch #119860

 then layered  with the

• 1 1/2" circle punch #138299
• 1 3/4" Scallop circle punch #118874 

The inside was stamped with 

Remembering your Birthday stamp set 

• (w)# 131347
• (c)#131350 

I put both greetings together on 1 block to have them line up a bit better when I stamped, then I punched that out with the 2 1/2" Circle punch#120906  and popped that up on Stampin' Dimensionals # 104430.

Not sure if you need the measurements or not of today's card since it's  just cut 1/4" small for all the layers,

here they are just in case .

Pool Party card stock # 122924

• cut at 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"

Basic Black card stock # 121045

• cut (2)  at 4" x 5 1/4"( front & inside) 

Whisper White  card stock # 100730

Dawn's Sunday Share 4-3-2016

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Just when I thought that Spring was here ~ Guess what ???  it snowed again last night ... not much but enough to not be able to  go riding with our H.o.g chapter this afternoon ~ bummer ! 

We finished Hubby's sleeping bag shell the only thing left to do now is add a sealer to the top head piece seam.

Here is a photo of him all snuggled in  LOL! 

Yesterday I got (2) videos filmed for you all  this upcoming week  and seriously that's about all I got done ...so hopefully between everything we got going on today I will try and get a few things  made up  for the non video days .

• Slowly but surely my checklist is getting checked ...

Still need to make my swaps . Usually I share a video while I am at convention on my swaps BUT I  will have to share all those with you at a later date since I am using my  Million Dollar stamp set ( hey did I mention I'm excited !) 

I pretty much got all my projects ready for my convention presentation too~ Yahoo! 

I am heading to the jeweler this week to get my rings re-sized  they are getting really loose  and  I don't want to lose those .

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Guest Stamper - Dawn Griffith

Hi Stampers,

Today is the day Oh my goodness !!

 I was asked  a couple months ago  by super sweet  Kylie  Bertucci  to be a guest  stamper for her team blog hop  .  I needed more info  since I don't do many blog hops,but this blog hop is slightly different then the ones I have done in the past .

With  everything going on right before convention, making swaps, getting things done for my blog  before I go  PLUS  recently getting asked to do a presentation at convention, On top of all that  I'm really excited to be a part of this awesome blog hop~  Just TELL me exactly what I need to do LOL!  

 Kylie and I were on Face book chatting then all of of a sudden I hear my cell phone ring WHAT???  

• It was Kylie from Australia calling~ OMG!

 We chatted about the blog hop/ links etc... I'm so excited to meet her face to face on the Mediterranean Cruise with Stampin'Up! 

 Those that know me know I like to have things all planned out and  done at least a little ahead of time .I really try to not be a last minute  girl .

So I want to explain a little about what this blog hop is about .

Kylie & her team in Australia went through my blog and picked a project I shared  and then they CASE it 

• Copy
• And
• Selectively
• Edit

 PLUS I  got to take part in CASEING myself  ( how fun right) ?

So today's project is from a video I posted last year  ( I also posted that video  below for you ) 

You all know I love moving cards and  this card  I thought  would be an amazing over the top birthday card .

PLUS I got to play with the amazing Botanical Builder Framelits #140625  again.

•  available in a bundle you will save 15% # 140819

 

Here is a photo of those cards I cased from myself ( above)  .

• You can click HERE for all the details on those cards  

My Edit on my case is that today's card  goes vertical and in the video I made the horizontal version  . 

I did mention you could make this card  either way but only showed the horizontal version with different Stampin Up! supplies in the video .

I hope you're excited about  seeing everyone else & what they CASED  off my blog ~ I know I am .

• The list of all 20+ blog hoppers are listed below~ just scroll down and  click on their name .

Please check back and see if anyone else joined in on the fun  & see who gets creative caseing me .

Here is the video ( below) on how to make this really fun Double Gate Fold / Double Peek a Boo card 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today .

Have a wonderful weekend 

Until later.. happy Stampin'!

ICYMI Friday April 1, 2-016

Hi Stampers,

 Happy April 1st ... Don't worry NO April Fools from me today  .

I am happy to report I have all (4) videos  filmed and posted to my FSM Club blog for the month of April .

(3) of the videos are from my local  Stamp-a-Stack  event the other (3) will be posted in May .

Plus I have my April Thank you notes posted over there too .

• This months Thank you cards are so stinkin cute !! 

I also  finally got my swap card designed now I need to make 40 of them . I may need to recruit my  sweet man to help .

 

We are currently making him a sleeping bag shell so needless to say my classroom is a disaster and has been transformed  (see photo above LOL!).

He purchased water proof material online to make a sleeping bag shell  that will replace his tarp on the Hoka Hey this  June .

  He could have purchased one already made BUT.... ( don't you love the but ?) theirs were water repellent NOT  water proof  PLUS  he needs his to be  wider &  longer since his is 6'5"  and  will be inserting his sleeping bag  and wearing  clothes so he decided  we needed to make his 51" wide and 10' long .

Very stressful since the waterproof material for the top of the bag shell  he got HERE  is NOT cheap  and one  wrong cut  well lets just say  we DON'T want that to happen . Then there is a totally different  material for the bottom  still all  waterproof  and he got  that from Settle Fabric as well .

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow ( Saturday ) at 8 pm eastern time for the blog hop w/ all my Australia friends! 

Here are the 2 videos I posted this week ICYMI .
