Meet the Chef!

Sunday, June 30, 2019
Playing with the ARTS & CRAFTS Dies again
Remember this?
What else did I see with that die? (besides it's intended use?)
When I cut one out with Whisper White Card Stock I saw a chef's hat...
Our 17 year old grandson, Tyler, started a job at the Great Lakes Brewing Co. Working in the kitchen with his dad who is the top chef there.
So proud of him - too bad he got a nice (nasty) little burn on his finger from the pizza oven on his very first day.
Here is a pattern page that I made for my punch art album on the how-to make this cute little chef.
Tyler is a "ginger" (redhead) so I brayered some TERRACOTTA TILE Ink onto Whisper White Card tock, then punched it out with a 1-1/2" circle punch. I chose to do it this way so that the hair color would be more true and not so stark. I certainly did not want to use real red card stock...LOL!
I used the NEW BRICK & MORTAR 3D embossing folder for the top layer of the card with Crumb Cake Card Stock, then I grabbed the restaurant image from on line and sized it to the size I needed.

Bella Babies

Friday, June 28, 2019
Our sweet Lucy is going to have PUPPIES!!
We are so excited !!
As of today she should be 6 weeks along (only 3 weeks to go)
I thought I would make this darling card inspired by Connie Stewart and her Creative Sketches



I decided to use some retired Designer Papers in Rose Red and Marina Mist on these cute cards featuring the BELLA AND FRIENDS Stamp Set and the sentiment is from BETTER TOGETHER stamp set.
We sent one of these to our son and daughter-in-law when they got their newest addition, Bailey
Isn't he just the cutest??!!
I wonder how many girl puppies vs how many boy puppies Lucy will have.
This is Lucy (on the right) with the puppies daddy, Leo. These pups are going to be SOOOO CUTE!!!
Praying that our sweet girl will have a safe delivery.

Unsung Heros!

Thursday, June 27, 2019
With both Dale's Soap business and my Stampin' Up! business we have a VERY REGULAR delivery via UPS to bring in all our supplies.
When I saw this adorable UPS 3D truck I just had to give it a try, and then I had to make a whole fleet of UPS trucks for the craft sales this fall.
 I couldn't leave out my faithful mail carrier...


What a great little gift for your faithful UPS driver - come on - admit it - you get your fair share of packages delivered too. I am quicker to buy on line than run to a store now days.
The UPS truck was inspired by Sabine.

Beautiful Mosaics

Wednesday, June 26, 2019
The MOSAIC MOOD SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER can really stand alone with it's gorgeous prints and shimmery accents.
All the pieces on this card (inspired by Tricia) came just from the Designer Paper. The "Thanks" is from the stamp set GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA.
Janell made this card also cut from the Designer Paper. The little flowers are from a retired set called Climbing Roses
Check out this piece of Designer Paper - now scroll back up to the first card. This is the sheet that I cut my leaves from. Cool, right??!! The sentiment comes from the MEMORABLE MOSAIC Stamp Set which can be bought in a bundle with the TIMELESS LABEL PUNCH.
The gorgeous Mint Macron Ribbon is also a new product for this Annual Catalog.
Want to see all the prints that are included in this Specialty Paper Pack?

Ride With Me

Monday, June 24, 2019
Today we leave on a one-way flight to Arizona where we will pick up the new (to us) vehicle that we purchased, and then we will take a 3-4 day road trip home.
While we will be driving a van, not a pick up truck, I still thought it was fun day to post these photos and a fun video today in honor of our road trip.
I am so in love with this darling little pick up truck, and the RIDE WITH ME Stamp Set.
Buy them as a bundle and save 10%
I chose to make my first truck from Daffodil Delight Card Stock because our 17 year old grandson owns a bright yellow pick up
For the windows I stamped the images onto VELLUM Card Stock, and hand cut them out. Be sure to heat your stamped image just a bit so the ink does not smear.
For the wheels I cut the Basic Black from the circle dies included in the bundle, punched out 1/2" circles from Whisper White, then added some silver 1/4" circles using a standard handheld hole punch. I used some retired Brushed Silver Card Stock because I have a ton of it on hand, but you could easily just use the SILVER FOIL or Smoky Slate.
I even gave Tyler's truck a vanity plate!!
Now for the box...
Since I have made so many boxes over the years I just had to do a little figuring, but to save you the headache of figuring it out - here are the dimensions that I used:

Cut Crumb Cake Card Stock 3" x 5 1/4"
Score On the long side at 1", 2-3/8", 3-3/8", 4-3/4"
Score on the short side at 1" and 2"
You will cut out 2 tabs when assembling the box, but this is basic box building.

My Stampin' Up! Logo came from a stamp set that we demonstrators received several years ago at a Leadership conference (what they used to call the mid-way conferences) called Workshop Words BUT...you are in luck and can purchase Washi Tape called FOLLOW YOUR ART pg 172 in the Annual Catalog.
The finished dimensions of the box are 1-3/8" wide x 1" high and 1" deep, and is the perfect size to hold one Chocolate Hershey Nugget.
Here is a video how-to for putting it together.
You can bet I will be having some of these at our Fall Craft Sales.


If you like what you see on my blog I would love for you to shop with me. Please follow the links below.

Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Sunday, June 23, 2019
What did you do this weekend?
We were privileged to watch our grand daughter, Gracie, in the Children's Theater production of Dorothy in Wonderland. A fun mix of Wizard of Oz and Alice In Wonderland.
Gracie played the role of Tin Man.
I couldn't resist making her a fun card to tell her how proud we are of her.
I had to dust off some retired products to make this card, and I am so glad that I saved the how-to from creationsonpaper because she no longer maintains a blog.
I love Punch Art, and the Owl Builder Punch, and the Bird Builder Punch have always been favorites of mine.
The Yellow Brick Road was made using a non-Stampin' Up! embossing folder, but Stampin' Up! just came out with a brand new BRICK & MORTAR Embossing Folder that I could have used IF I had purchased it before I made this card.
Clouds: Lift Me Up
Banner: Stitched Labels Dies but I trimmed off the eyelet edges (and love the results)
Dorothy: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Basic Black, Red Glitter paper
Other punches: Medium Oval (R), Scalloped Oval (R).
Scarecrow: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Real Red (patch), Marina Mist (patch), Tangerine Tango (wings), Crumb Cake
Other Punches: Medium Oval (R)
Tin Man: Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black.
The hat is just a hand cut triangle with a snip of Basic Gray for the tip.
MINI Rhinestones for his buttons
Lion: So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip
Other Punches: Scallop Circle, 1/4" circle (basic hand held hole punch)
I did some some sponging on each one and added White Gel Pen to the eyes, and for the screws on the Tin Man.

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  (minimum $50) during the month of June you will receive 1 FREE package of the NEW 2019-2020 In Color Faceted Dots

Lovely Ladybug

Friday, June 21, 2019
A friend asked me to make her a special card for a baby shower
Guidelines: Lady Bugs
This is the card I made for her... 
I pulled out some retired products that were my favorites and loved the outcome, but I wanted to try it for a class so pulled out current product. 
Instead of the Square Lattice Embossing Folder I used the BASKETWEAVE Embossing Folder
Instead of the Dots Embossing Folder (on the flowers) I used SOFTLY FALLING (only to realize that  the Softly Falling Embossing Folder has recently been retired)
I wanted to make it a birthday card so pulled out the PARCELS & PETALS BUNDLE  for the Birthday greeting and the die to cut it out.
GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA Stamp Set is what I used for the leaves, DAISY PUNCH and 3/4" CIRCLE PUNCH for the flowers.
My little ladybug is made from the 3/4" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch and the antenna are from the FROSTED BOUQUET Dies:
Being creative you can get 4 sets of antennas from one die cut.
This card was displayed at my New Catalog Launch and it got rave reviews. I will feature it at one of my Tuesday classes. Please join us on July 2 for the class that will feature this card.

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  (minimum $50) during the month of June you will receive 1 FREE package of the NEW 2019-2020 In Color Faceted Dots
Faceted, adhesive-backed dots: 90 pieces: 6 each of 5 colors in 3 size. 4mm, 6mm, 8mm In Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Rococco Rose, Seaside Spray, Terracotta Tile.

Memories & More Sailing Home

Thursday, June 20, 2019
Memories & More Kits make quick and easy cards.
I cannot wait to use those awesome laser cut fronts.
This is the COME SAIL AWAY MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK
Check out this Video on the SAIL AWAY MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK

As you can see in this following description by Stampin' Up! the card pack comes in different sizes other than the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

The Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack features maritime images. 
* 50 total double-sided cards (2 each of 25 designs) in 3" x 4" (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm) sizes
* 6 4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm) single-sided laser-cut specialty cards
* 4 sticker sheets
* Acid free, lignin free
* Great for scrapbooking and cardmaking

Coordinating colors: Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Whisper White

They also offer ASSORTED MEMORIES & MORE CARDS & ENVELOPES to coordinate with the Memories & More Kits.
So quick and easy! This card front measures 6" x 4" so I cut the card base 6-1/4" x 8-1/2" and scored it at 4 1/4". The inside Whisper White piece is also 6" x 4"
The sailboats are stamped with Old Olive ink.
This pack is perfect for Scrapbooking too...
Inspired by Stesha for this scrapbook page (she made a wall hanging), I used a photo from Lake Michigan taken a few years ago. (nope, I'm not up to date on my scrapbooking!)
I used a piece of 12 x 12 Designer Paper from the retired Farmhouse Christmas pack.
I love how it all coordinates with the SAILING HOME BUNDLE.
