Birthday Invitation using Stampin' Up! punches

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share with you what I have been working on lately. My Grandson's 3rd Birthday is coming up November 5th and my daughter asked me to make his birthday invitations. She was wanting his invitations to be a sports theme and I didn't have any sports themed stamps. (Shame on me!) This is something that I will be buying soon! We came up with this idea using Stampin' Up! punches. Oh, how I love Stampin' Up! punches!! The basketball was made using the 1-3/4" Circle punch, the baseball: 1-3/8" Circle punch and the football was made using the 1-3/8" Circle punch and then punched again making the football shape. Other punches used on this card are: Photo Corner punch, Scallop Oval punch and the Scallop Edge Border punch. The dots on the Pumpkin Pie Card Stock was made using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder ran through the Big Shot. (It was hard for me not to add any ribbon and fluff it up a little, but I had to keep telling myself that it was for a 3 year old BOY)

Let me know what you think! If you have any questions just ask!

Hand Sanitizer Mini Gift

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a very busy weekend. Saturday morning I went to Hayesville to my Stampin' Up! Downline meeting. What a fun time we all have when we're together! After the meeting I headed to Bloomfield to pick up my grandson Braxton so that he could spend the rest of the day with us. My grandbabies always put a smile on my face! Sunday morning we headed to New Castle to spend the day with my husband's grandma. We had a great time!

I wanted to share this awesome project that I found on another Stampin' Up! demonstrator's blog. I totally cased this project from Kimberly Van Diepen. She is so talented! October was my month to bring all the supplies to create a make-n-take for our downline meeting. After finding this project I knew that this was what we were going to make. I have been thinking of all the different ways that you could decorate these. Wouldn't these be really cute to decorate with a Christmas theme and hand them out as a mini gift? I know I will be making several!

Here is what the mini gift looks like from the side: (Click on each image to get a closer look)


Supplies: Dark & Dreary Stamp Set, Wicked Cool Stamp Set, Basic Gray Card Stock, 1/2" Raven Lace Trim, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, Oval Punch and Basic Rhinestones.

If you have any questions about how this project was made, please let me know. It was very simple to put together.

How about a Fall card?

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Our weekend in Indiana has been beautiful. Hot, but sunny! I went to the Covered Bridge Festival yesterday and I enjoyed the trip over there. I love this time of year with the leaves changing colors. While at Stampin' Up! convention this year, this was one of the stamp sets that we received free. Today was the first day that I have inked it up. After making this card, I am sure I will be inking it more often.
