Valentine Suckers to Make Using the PS I Love You Stamp SetFebruary 6th, 2012 Posted on February 6th, 2012, 2 responses.
Are you planning to make Valentine’s with your kids, or do you buy them from the store? We have always made them…paper crafting is my JOB after all, so how could we buy them? Well this year I have a 6th grader (no valentines for her) and my 3rd grader informed me that her class isn’t doing them anymore, either. That leaves me with the 1st grader. My fingers were crossed. She came home from school the other day, saw these 2 suckers on my desk and immediately got started on making 25 of them. Not even joking. She got busy right away and worked on them until they were done, stopping only to sleep and go to school!
The only thing I did for her was cut the 3 x 6 pieces of cardstock and thread and tie the ribbon. She did everything else. NOTE: 3 x 6 fits perfectly when cutting 12 x 12" cardstock with no waste, but a 3-1/4 x 6 gives you more room to line it up on the die…she had to work at it to get it lined up to cut right on the die. There was barely enough room to make the cut. She has a bit of perfectionism running through her blood, so I was worried it would send her over the edge, but she did great! View the video to see how it was made: If you don’t have the Scallop Squares Duo die, you can use other shapes, or simply cut your cardstock to 3 x 6 and fold in half. Stampin’ Up Supplies:

It’s a Moxie Fab Valentine CardFebruary 2nd, 2012 Posted on February 2nd, 2012, 4 responses.
When I popped over to the Moxie Fab World blog the other day and saw their Tuesday Trigger, I just about started doing back flips around my stamp room. I mean, come on, how inspired are you from this photo? It’s absolutely delectable. You can view and participate in the challenge HERE.  Just in case you can’t tell, I was inspired by the doily, the texture of the candy, the colors, the wrapper and pink coating. Yep, that’s a real cupcake liner that I used. How fun is THAT!!???  Watch the video to see how I used the cupcake liner for a really fun embellishment and how I made that oh, so yummy lookin’ chocoate covered strawberry heart!

Hey, friends! Happy Friday! I have a sick kid home today. After a healthy serving of chocolate chip pancakes, she’s snuggled on the couch watching Dolphin Tale for the 3rd time! This gives me a few minutes to stamp! Once I saw the sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping today, I immediatly knew I would use the Sanded Embossed Background technique! (Not sure if that’s really what this is called, but we’re goin’ with it!) Honestly, I never would have put Poppy Parade and Pool Party together…would you? Since the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series came out in the Sale-a-bration Catalog, I’ve been using this combo and it really works!
The card base is 11 x 4-1/4, Soft Suede Layer is 4-3/4 x 3-1/2, and DSP is 4-1/2 x 3-1/4.

Fashionable Hearts Embosslit teams up with the Doily Punch #3 in the series!January 10th, 2012 Posted on January 10th, 2012, 3 responses.
Oooh la la! It’s time for the 3rd video in the series using the absolutely fabulous Fashionable Hearts Embosslit by Stampin’ Up! I’ve already told you the more I use this Embosslit, the more I love it. I’ve made 4 cards so far and they all have a completely different look to them! Here’s a little peeksie at a video tutorial I posted for StampNation Members last week. Totally different look with a few fun elements added to it. This video also showed a tip on lining up your punches when using multiple "windows" on a project. If you would like more details on becoming a member, CLICK HERE.
Here’s what one of StampNation’s newest members has to say: "Catherine……I just found your Blog through your You Tube Videos. I just joined StampNation today. Thank goodness I retire from my fulltime job next week, as I know I’ll spend hours upon hours viewing your videos! I’ve watched several this morning and am already inspired…..can’t wait for my first order to arrive from the new mini catalog! You do such awesome work and your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thanks for being such an inspiration!" Sue This card was quick and easy to make with a half sheet of cardstock cut in half and folded in half, followed by a 4 x 5-1/4" layer to stamp and embellish. The Doily Punch by Stampin’ Up added a sweet, subtle accent to this card. If you haven’t seen how to use this punch yet, CLICK HERE for my video on how to!
