Up, Up and Away!

Happy New Year! This is another quick easy card to showcase our Big Shot with the Top Note Die, and our Rub-On's in the current Occasional Mini. I cut the base card in Real Red 11 x 4.25. Cut 1 whisper white and 1 Pear Pizzazz Top Note die cut. Using a sponge dauber I tapped Bashful Blue for the sky. I rubbed the Air balloon on Whisper White and cut it out so I could pop it up with a few dimensional's. I tore the Pear Pizzazz to make the grass. Used the greeting also from the rub-on's. Added 1/8 inch pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon. Easy Smeazy. Have a great night.

Oldie but a goodie, Framed Art

When I need that quick gift and nothing will do. I go thru some old Stampin Success magazines, I love going thru these because there are so many ideas I forget about, or maybe I didn't get to. You do have to be a demonstrator to receive this wealth of information so contact me if you are interested. http://brendasplace.stampinup.net now onto the project.REMEMBER if you do not have the stamps used in this project use what you do have. Change it to someones name with flowers or butterflies, get creative.
Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Letterpress Alphabet (retired),Alphabits (retired), Expressive Flexible Phrases (retired),
Jumbo wheel Woodcut Holly (retired),Print Pattern Background (retired)
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Ink: Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke,Bravo Burgundy
Markers: Always Artichoke,Bravo Burgundy
Punches: 1/4 square punch, 1/8 hand held punch
Extra's: White fibers, Hodgepodge Hardware
Frame: Ivory Distressed looks the nicest (40%off at Michaels)
I cut 3 tags 2 x 3 out of Very Vanilla and distressed them with Crumb Cake Ink. I then stamped one letter per tag in Bravo Burgundy. Using my markers and the Woodcut Holly wheel I colored the holly and stamped them out one at a time. Then cut those and taped in place. Using the crumb cake I punched out three 1/4 squares and taped them at the top. I punched a hole at the top using my 1/8 hand held punch and tied them with twine. I then stamped Wishes, Wonder, and Believe in Always Artichoke and cut them out.Remember to leave room on the left side for a hole punch with the 1/8 and tied them with linen thread to each tag. The "J" tag I wrapped with some white fiber(don't know where it came from), and used a spiral hardware to slide onto the tag. I stamped the alphabits twice with Always artichoke and punched out letters to spell " to the world"using the 1/4 square punch. Glue the letters "to the" on the "O" tag. Now we can wheel the Woodcut holly onto a 8.5 x 11 in Crumb cake. Ink the pattern print background stamp in Always Artichoke and stamp it one time on scrap paper then stamp it onto the very vanilla in the bottom right corner of the page. It should be shadowed (very light). Glue the letters "world" on a strip of very vanilla that fits into the framed hardware. Now tape your tags down to your Very Vanilla 8.5 x 11. If you have a mat like mine lay it on top so you get an idea of how to lay it out. When everything is in place before you put it in the frame place the hardware frame over the "O" and "Y" tag. Using your paper pierce tool make a hole so the brads glide through. I hope this Oldie but Goodie inspires you to make something great with what you have in your stamping stash. Thanks for stopping, Brenda

All that glitters

I'm back after a very long weekend, shopping, parties, cookie exchanges, it was a very long weekend. Fun though, I love the holidays. So I saw this done by someone on line I'm not sure who so I can't give the credit but if you are someone who puts up Valentine decorations this would work great on discounted clear HEART ornaments I saw at Michaels.
Supplies used:
1 glass ball ornament, 25 drops of classic re-inking I used Baja Breeze
1/2 tsp.-3/4 tsp. of dazzeling diamonds or any fine glitter.
PLEASE USE RUBBER GLOVES.
Holding the ornament and removing the top add your ink place your finger over the top and shake, twist and turn. Make sure all the glass area has been inked. Turn over and let the excess drip out onto a paper towel. Turn back over and add glitter, Shake, Shake, Shake. To let dry I use a piece of paper towel in either an egg carton or original ornament box so any excess ink can drain. I let set it over night. Hope you do these at Valentines in, Real Red, Regal Rose, and Pretty in Pink those colors would rock. Thanks for stopping, and Happy Holidays. Brenda

Teen Decor

 This was a great present for a teen I had made. The pictures don't do it justice. I learned this really cool technique from a fellow demo Sue. You crumble your paper then rub ink across the paper it will only catch the raised edges. Then turn it over and lay on a piece of copy paper and iron the paper flat. I took the frame apart and put the skater on the inside of the glass so you can clean it. Thanks for stopping.

Votive Decor

I really have been experimenting with new products. I just love adding little touches to my home decor. For Thanksgiving I added fall leaves falling from my sconces on my wall. Stampin up's Leaves die cut #2 worked great for many projects this fall. I used the Decor Elements sheets in chocolate for this. I was waiting for my Northern Frost die strip and grew impatient, so I used contact paper, a votive, and a Martha Stewart Punch with some etching cream to create this beautiful frosted cup. The photo doesn't show the detail but it is there. Etching cream is really easy to use and everything can be bought at Michaels except the contact paper that came from Walmart.Thanks for stopping, Brenda

St. Nick Treats

These were fun also, 3 york Peppermint Patties or Reese Peanut Butter Cups, 6 Large scallop circles in Bashful Blue, 6- 1 3/4 inch white circles. I used a retired snowman set, but Sizzix has a Snowman#2 die cut that would work perfect. That's where I got the hat from! Assemble snowman place in a plastic treat bag from Michael's and tie with a red ribbon! Don't ya just love the holidays? I bet rhinestone brads would rock instead of coal....

Tooth Fairy Envelopes

Hi everyone, Here's a quickie. You'll need your scallop envelope die and the big shot to cut 4 envelopes the same color to create your box. 6-8 assorted color envelopes to match your designer paper. Your designer paper should be cut 12x2 I doesn't quite make it all the way around your box so you will need an additional piece 1.5x2 I placed this in the very center of the front of your box since my tooth fairy will cover it. I stamped 1 tooth fairy for the front of the box and one for each envelopes.I punched them out with the 1 3/4 circle punch. For the front I punched a scallop circle to make her pop. I punch a small rectangle hole on each side of the scallop trim of the envelope to run either ribbon or for a fairy feel I used a clear tinsel. I just highlighted the fairy with colors to match paper. Yes I used glitter and a glue pen to give it the magical feel. These are cuter then just stuffing money under a pillow and less likely to loose the tooth too! Thanks for stopping.
Supplies: Tooth Fairy stamp 119216, scallop envelope die 113462, 1 3/4 circle punch 119850, scallop circle punch 118874, Basic Black ink, assorted markers. all supplies can be purchased at http://brendasplace.stampinup.net/
