Personalized Art Journal

By Sharon · Comments (0)
Saturday, March 26th, 2011

This is an Art Journal that I decorated as a Hostess gift.  I knew that my hostess liked owls, so the Punch Bunch stamp set was an easy choice.  I will be very sad to see this stamp set leave at the end of Sale-A-Bration. My hostess really enjoyed her Art Journal that I personalized using the Serif Essentials Alphabet die and embellished with the Early Espresso 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon.  It’s so easy to make personalized gifts with these alphabet dies.  They are also a nice size for cards, scrapbook pages, and gift bags. I enjoy doing Girls Night Out scrapbooking and card making parties on Friday nights.  My April calendar is already full but I am currently scheduling May and June parties.  Please email me if you would like to schedule your Girls Night Out party with your friends.

How Did They Make That Card?

By Sharon · Comments (0)
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Have you ever looked at the Idea Book and Catalog and wondered “How Did they Make That Card?”  Well, I was looking at page 112 and saw a card I wanted to make.

I needed to make Thank You Cards and immediately I was drawn to the beauty and simplicity of the purple card.  While I probably didn’t have all of the supplies they used, I still wondered “How did they make that card?”

Stampin’ Up! used to include all of the Stamping Supplies (or recipes) for each project in the back of the catalog.  Now, they offer a separate download that has all of this information:

While I didn’t have all of the supplies listed for the card, I was able to find out that the colors were Concord Crush and Perfect Plum, and I could also see all of the supplies used to make the card.  Here is my version of the card:

I added the extra punch behind the sentiment and just made it “Sweet & Simple“.

Look at What We Made

By Sharon · Comments (0)
Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Here are 3 of the cards we made last night at my monthly Card Class:

Two Tags Punch Bunch Card

This card featured the Punch Bunch stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog, the Two Tags Sizzix Die (a Stampin’ Up! exclusive), and the color Rich Razzleberry.

Nature Walk Birdcage

This card uses the Nature Walk stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog and the Chantilly Crochet Trim.  The square image was stamped using a clear block only (no stamp attached) and Crumb Cake ink.  The card stock colors are Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla.

Punch Bunch Owl

Our peeking owl highlights the Punch Bunch stamp set and the Wood Grain background stamp. The frame around the owl was made using the 1-3/4″ circle punch and the 2-3/8″ scallop circle.  The card stock colors are Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.

Congratulations to Theresa D. for winning our door prize.  I will be expediting our orders, so please email me at sharon@stampingsharon.com if you would like to add-on any items with a FREE shipping upgrade or if you have any questions.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day ~ Lucky Shamrock

By Sharon · Comments (0)
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

St Patricks DayAs I was making this card all I could think about was the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” because it seemed like I shrunk my card.

The Lucky Shamrock stamp in the Occasions Mini Catalog was designed for use with the 1-3/4″ circle punch but I wanted a larger image. Stampin’ Up! came to the rescue with the Lucky Shamrock Digital Brush Stamp.

For less than a $1, you can download this digital image and use it in your own word processing or publishing software.  You can download all of the My Digital Software products as jpeg files, so you don’t even have to own the software.

I hope you have a Lucky Shamrock Day!

I Feel Like Gloria Gaynor

Bigstock Birthday Party 3066038 I have been singing “I Will Survive” for over a week now.  Last week would have been exciting enough with just Mardi Gras, but I had to throw 2 slumber parties in to the Mardi Gras Madness.

Both of my daughters had birthdays last week.  My oldest DD is now 12, and my youngest DD is 9.  (Yes, I know having 2 birthdays so close together is not advised.)  We are still putting the house back together, and the sunroom floor has a new purple tint thanks to the nail polish.  I didn’t even know that we had purple nail polish!

On a positive note, I did do a lot of stamping over the weekend and enjoyed our Team meeting yesterday afternoon.  Stay tuned for some sneak peeks from my Card Class coming up this Friday.

Bold Blossom is Doing the Tango

By Sharon · Comments (0)
Monday, February 21st, 2011

Bold Blossom

Here is another card we made on Friday at the Card Class.  We used the Bold Blossom set from the Occasions Mini Catalog and the bright and cheerful color combination of Tangerine Tango and Old Olive.  The center of the flower is a button from the Sweet Stitches Designer Big Buttons.  Don’t these look great together?  I also just love the name Tangerine Tango.

I added a few touches to bring this card to my “sweet & simple” standards.  (It’s easy for me to make a simple card but it needs a few touches to be “sweet”.)

  1. I added the 1/8″ White Taffeta ribbon through the button holes.
  2. I stamped the butterfly twice without re-inking the stamp in between to give a nice color variation.
  3. I used stampin’ dimensionals to “pop up” my greeting.

I hope you enjoy this card.  Please send me an email if you have any questions.
