STAMP 10 – part 2

Three more cards for this months STAMP 10 classes…

Any motorcycle lovers out there? Dale used to have one before we were married, but thankfully was willing to sell it so we could buy our first home. This is one of the new stamp sets in the Summer mini catalog that goes through August 2010. Just keep watching – I KNOW I will be making many more motorcycle themed cards in the future.

SS: Motorcycle
CS: Dusty Durango, Basic Gray, WW

My dad is an avid hunter, even at at 83 he gets out there every year. I am so thankful to have him in my life.

SS: Nature’s Silhouette, Well Scripted
CS: Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, Very Vanilla, DSP – To The Nines

Sometimes finding a nice “guy” Anniversary card to make can be challenging but I thought this Black and White card that my upline, Glenda made for one of her Stamp a Stack classes was so sharp that I “stole” her idea for my class – thanks Glenda!

SS: Teeny Tiny Wishes, I (Heart) Hearts
CS: Basic Black, WW

So For Now...

Happy Stamping!!

STAMP 10

Here are 4 more cards that we made for our March STAMP 10 Class.

This card shows how you can institute our beautiful Designer Paper into your card fronts. The heart is heat embossed on Chocolate Chip CS with WW craft ink and White EP. Thank you to pcgaynor at Splitcoast for this easy card idea.

This card I LOVE! – wouldn’t this make a beautiful thank you note for a Bridal Shower or Wedding? Thank you to Brandi Weinette on Stampin' Connection for this beautiful card.

I love the little deer from our Forest Friends SS. Combine it with our Tall Tales DSP and you have a fun and easy card for any age. Thank you to Patsy Waggoner for this idea.

This Stamp set can still be earned FREE until March 30th with a $50 or more order. It is called Good Neighbor and I combined it with the Welcome Neighbor DSP that you can also earn FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 order. The great thing now with Stampin’ Up! is that they are offering the new stamp sets in wood block or clear. Using this stamp set in clear helps to line the pieces up just where you want them. Thank you to stampspaperscissors blog for this idea.

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!

A Valentine Train

Oh my Goodness I just love all the 3D things we can make with the Stampin’ Up! products. Take a look at this darling Valentine Train I put together for our grandkids. Oh, I know, I already gave them the cute little mailboxes filled with Valentine treats, but when I came across this unbelievable idea I had to give it a whirl. It was also a great chance to use up some of my retired papers. So this is what they got right on Valentine’s Day when they came for dinner to celebrate Grampa’s birthday.

This train uses the Milk Carton Box Bigz Die, and the Box #2 Bigz Die, 1 3/4” and 1 3/8” Circle Punches with silver brads for the wheels, along with a variety of punches for decoration of choice. I used the new Pinking Heart Border Punch, but really you can use whatever you want to make it your own. Each train car is held together with the Word Window Punch connected with a silver brad so they are able to shift in other than a straight line.

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!
