Mover and Shapers Box

Good evening girlies. Hope you had a great weekend. Not much snow fell here so no one got to spend the night. Today was beautiful, but my knee barometer is telling me that it's going to rain tonight sometime. Stay dry if you are getting rain.

Tonight I'm sharing a box that Vicki and I made after workshop on Saturday nite using the SU Movers and Shapers Curly Label bigz die. So fun and they turn out so cute. Lots can be done with them. I used Retired Afternoon DSP. The stamp set used is from the new Occasional Mini coming up April-June 30 Great Friend. Ink used is Chocolate Chip classic. 'For You' is punched out with SU Large Oval Punch. The inside box is Chocolate cardstock. Taped a piece of acetate on the inside of the 'punched' piece. You can find the instructions at http://www.kerinstamps.com/stampin_with_kerin/2009/03/movers-shapers-curly-label-box.html

This little box is not only cute, but would be good for teacher gifts. Great for nugget chocolates, small gift cards also. This will be one of my workshop projects on April 25th. Be sure to get your RSVP to me if you'd like to make one of these cute little boxes.

Have a great night everyone. Thanks for stoppin by, remember keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Sunflowers Abound

Good Friday afternoon girlies. Hope your weekend is starting off good. Here in SW MO we are expecting a "winter storm" tonight and tomorrow. Wonder who will get snowed in at my house. There will be alot of stampin if anyone does. So if you are one of the ones coming for SAS Saturday, better plan on bringing pj's just in case.

Today I'm sharing a card we did last Saturday at an imprompt too gathering at my house. Vicki, Reina and Debbie were here for fun stampin. We all just loved Vicki's card and we wanted to make one also. You can see her's over at http://itsastampthing-vicki.blogspot.com/ stop in over at her blog and say hello. She has just wonderful beautiful stuff, she is so talented. I wanta be like her when I grow up....LOL

We started out with Kiwi Kiss C/S as our card base, matted some Chocolate Chip and the DSP is from Good Morning Shine pkg. We used the 5 petal punch to make the Sunflowers in Summer Sun. Added butterflies from MS and a few pearls. The border punch is SU Eyelet punch. I think it turned out great. Hope you do too.

As always, thanks a bunch for stoppin by. Have a wonderful weekend. And keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Mr and Mrs Bunny

Good morning girlies. Very chilly this morning in SW MO today. Hope it warms up a bit, before we get the rain/SNOW on Saturday. It will be a great day to stamp!

Today I'm sharing the Easter baskets I made a couple of nights ago. I was gone yesterday shopping and errands, sorry I didn't post yesterday.

For Mr Bunny, I used the SU Scallop Envelope Die, Delicate Dots DSP from SAB, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink and Black. Pretty in Pink Classic Ink for the edges with a sponge. Finished off with a white gel pen for the 'highlight' in the eyes. The same thing was used on Mrs Bunny except I used Tea Party DSP. For the bows, I used Pink Pirouette 5/8" Striped Gosgrain Ribbon and Bashful Blue 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I used a bunny head template that I had found on SCS and the rest of the body is made with punches. I just realized Mr Bunny has lost his bow, but he does have one and it's really cute.

That's it for today. If you are in any of the storm areas, please be safe. Thanks so much for stoppin by. And remember Keep on Stampin it's good for the soul.

Have a great day,

Lois

Rainy Day Tuesday

Good rainy day girlies. Man, it has sure rained today and think we'll get more. Looks like if I want to go anywhere, may have to start up the boat....LOL Hope ya'll are having a good day.

Today, I'm sharing a Mini Easter Basket. It was the Monday Challenge TLC213 over at SCS. Very cute little basket. Would be great for any little girl. I chose to use Pretty in Pink, Whisper White and Tangerine Tango for the cardstock. The DSP is Sweet Always. I also used the Cherry Blossom Embosslit for the flower. I cut out the Tangerine Tango flower and popped it up on the Pretty in Pink. The leaves are in Mellow Moss with the Little Leaves Sizzlit Die. Used the Eyelet border for the 'trim'. Finished it off with a sticky pearl. I hope you like my little basket. This will be one of our projects for workshop this weekend.

That's it for today. Thanks so much for stoppin by. Love to read your comments. And as always, Happy Stampin, it's good for the soul.

Glass Etching 101

Good windy (40 mph) day girlies. Hope ya'll are stayin in and stampin. The wind will give ya'll a new hair do if you are out too long. LOL

Today, I'm sharing a small wine glass and a coaster/frame (found at Michaels) that I used my BK and SU Daises #2 Die with some contact paper and Etching cream. Very easy to do. The Butterfly is from a punch by MS. I had to cover up a boo-boo. And I added a oval shaped 1/2 pearl to the butterfly. I like the results very much. I'm planning on putting intials on the wine glass also.

This could be/might be a project for our upcoming workshop on March 28, be sure to be here...you might miss some great projects this month.

This is it for today, I'm working on projects for Saturday and cards for SAS on April 4th.

Thanks for stoppin by, please leave a comment, I love getting them. And as always, be safe and keep on stampin, it's good for the soul.

Watercoloring 101

Hi'ya peeps! Hope you are having a great Saturday afternoon. I finally got rid of my headache so I could do something to show you.

This is my first time watercoloring with SU Aqua pens. WOW! seem to be easy and I'll need more practice at it. But I love the outcome of this card.

I started out with SU Soft Summer from the Occasions mini catty. If you don't have one, be sure to ask your super duper demo for one at your next SAS or workshop. You'll be glad you did. It's a GREAT mini. Anyways, I chose the dogwood blossoms for this card. I started out with Stazon Black on Watercolor Paper. Used Old Olive, Postitively Pink, Pretty in Pink and YoYo Yellow inks to color in with the aqua pens. THEN (why I don't know) I cut the image out. Now if you didn't have a headache before you cut this out, you would when you were done. I made the base card in Old Olive matted with Pretty in Pink and again in Old Olive. I knotted Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon and added some pearls. The sentiment is from Soft Summer also. To finish it off, I added a few pearls. I popped up the flower/stem with pop dots.

I hope you like my card today. AND as always, have a great day and keep on stampin, it's good for the soul. Thanks so much for stoppin by.

Impressions Die Congratulations

Good Friday morning peeps! (I'm stealing "peeps" from Vicki). Chilly morning here in SW MO. but it's to warm up some. Then rain, rain, rain! My knee barometer is telling me that rain is on it's way.

Today I'm sharing 2 cards I've made in the last couple of days. Could it be a SAS card for April, you will have to attend to find out. Anyways, I used the new SU Manhatten Flower Impressions Die. For the 1st one, I used Shimmering White as the card base. And then I cut out the top part.

Used Stazon Black for the sentiment from the new set from the Occasional Mini, Very Versatile and I love this set,. Added the new white 5/8 " Satin Ribbon.....ohhhhh that is nice stuff, Makes a perfect bow. The 2nd one was done on PTI white, then cut out like the 1st one, then I used a Quickie Glue pen to add the Glitter, finished it off with a sentiment from Warmest Regards, all mounted on Orchid Opulence Cardstock. And of course used the 5/8" Satin Ribbon again.

Thanks for stoppin by and takin a look today. Have a great weekend and remember Keep on Stampin!!!!
