"In the Meadows" Making it your own

I love the stamp set "In the Meadow". It's great for scrapbook pages that have any nature context. Weather it is your camping trip, nature walk, trip to the mountains, or just deer in your back yard; this stamp set has a place on your pages. 

It is also great for card making. I made these two cards for several different occasions. 

Also notice, I added a deer to the second card, using a masking technique. The first card was designed for a mother who wanted to give a card to her adopted  daughter on her 18 years of being a part of their family. While the second card was used for an announcement to a family that was growing by "one deer".

Masking can add or remove any part of a stamp. Making them special for your family, friends or customers. It is also great for creating reflections, but that's another blog. 

Thanks for stopping by....... see you next week.

Sharing and Caring....

Thought I would share with you some of the cards, products and creation displayed at the Open House. We had a wonderful group of ladies join us. 
So now we are sharing with another wonderful group of ladies. 

In the Meadow  Item #140754  $20.00

With just a little a little masking, and I have added a deer to second set of pictures. 

 

 So let talk about what kind of cards 

these cards can be used for. Any male cards comes to mind right away. But look closely; in the card above the sentiment leads you to other choices. Mother's Day, Valentines Day, Birthdays or anniversary, just to name a few.

Another stamp that allow for simple but effective changes. Looks great with simple easy changes. 

 This bundle is unique. The stamp set has some really great saying that you can make your own. Example is: It's time to Celebrate with cake". Using a cover technique you can create a stamp that just says, "Let's Celebrate"  This technique is easy; 

• Start by having a strip of paper to cover the part of the stamp you to not want in your project. 
• Place it on your page in the area you do not want stamped. I like to use the 2 way glue because it is temporary. 
• Ink your stamp, and stamp. Make sure to stamp the covered part on your paper you will be removing. 
• Remove your cover sheet and you are done.

 

 Notice how our tags do not say "with cake."

Straighten your Big Shot Plates

I simply adore by Big Shot, but it seems the plates always want to warp and has card stock trapped in the grooves. After trying what seems like everything under the sun, I finally found something that works. Thank you IMGUR.

To recap: We are going to cook our "B" plates.

• I wrapped it in foil and put it in a Pyrex dish. (My "B" plate did not lay flat in the Pyrex dish. So I placed it with the warp part  up. This way as it cooks, it will flatten the "B" plate.)

• Now place other heavy dishes on top. 

• Then put the everything in the oven at 170C (325F or gas mark # 3) for 30 minutes. I did check on it a couple of times to make sure it wasn't burning. I could see it was getting flatter and flatter by the end of the 30 minutes.

• I took everything out of the oven and left it to cool right down until it is cool enough to touch it without burning yourself. 

• Now unwrap the foil and admire your flat "B" plate. Also you will see that the card stock trapped in the grooves can easily be wiped off.

OH SNOW!! IT is almost Christmas!!!

Have you finished your Christmas cards, boxes and ornaments? I have been really working hard on all the SU Punch boards. There have been a few classes the last 2 weeks where we did Boxes, Bows and Stocking gifts. They were a blast. Not to mention we all went home with boxes and bags that just needed to be filled. If missed the classes here are a few pictures of what was made. 
 

 The bags above were made on the SU Punch Bag Board and 8 1/2 x 11

 Square pillow framelits are a great way to give gifts. These pillow are made with a 6 x12 sheet of DSP. Easy to decorate and fun to make.

Just having some fun with the SU Bag Punch Board. The Santa and Snowman are small bags with a few little creative punches.

These two have an assortment of fun items, including a Christmas ornament, gift card envelopes and boxes make with the  SU envelope punch board.

Been a FUN, Busy time

It has been a busy few months. Stampin Up and Paper Crafting by Elaine has taken off. I am completely shocked at how much fun I have been having. Making new friends, learning new techniques and giving away free Stampin Up products. 

Let me show you some of the awesome projects we have completed. 

This is part of the Tin of Cards kit. As you can tell we got creative and used several languages to convey our message. 

Just a sample of some of the fun we have had in our card classes.In this card we used Acorny Thank you bundle.

This is the Witches Decor Project kit. We had a ton of fun doing these kits. Actually did this class 3 different times.

 Great Halloween Cards from Happy Haunting Stamp set and the wood embossing folder.

This is not the best pictures, but these witches hats have been a big hit. It is made with a 2.5" circle punch and a 1.5' circle punch cut in the center of the 2.5" circle. Then we use 2 trees from the tree punch and placed a medium cloths pin in the middle. To decorate the front we used the Build a bow maker.   This one has been clipped to the side of a cup. The were great on the top of bags for the kids at my grandsons school.
