This is a quick and easy card. It uses the Sweet Buttons Embosslit from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini catalog. Use with the Big Shot, standard cutting pads and Multipurpose platform. I cut buttons in Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight. Each die cuts 6 different button shapes so you could make 6 different cards using all the buttons.
I used a paper piercer to pierce holes through the embossed buttons – it doesn’t actually cut the little holes for the thread. Then threaded some white crochet thread and tied little bows. Each button was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
The card base is Chocolate Chip. Doodle a line with a Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker around the edge of the card. One corner (bottom left) was corner rounded.
In the corner I stamped “hello” from the Hello Again stamp set. On the inside of the card I stamped a button image from the Button, Button stamp set that coordinates with the Sweet Buttons Embosslit. Both are part of a full collection of coordinating products from the Occasions Mini Catalog called Oh Sew Suite.
Today is day 2 of Monika’s Spring Bingo – for those of you that are playing here is the next piece.
Yep – its another MDS page – I know I’m showing a lot of those lately. But you know what the cleanup from creating a My Digital Studio scrapbook page is so fast – just save and shut the laptop! Plus it is a totally portable workspace – so on Sunday night I sat downstairs in the basement with my husband to watch the Super Bowl. And I used My Digital Studio to create my project for week 22 of the Utah Diva’s Color Challenge.
Some nice masculine colors this time. I have been missing my oldest son Kyle (he is away at college and doesn’t call me quite as much as I would like him to) so I created a scrapbook page featuring a picture of him after the Convocation Ceremony at Georgia Tech this past August. That’s the GT Rat cap that he is wearing all the freshman got one at the ceremony and part of the ceremony were the traditions on how to personalize your hat. I’ll have to check if he ever did that. Here is a quick run down on what they are supposed to do –
The Georgia Tech Rat Cap Diagram. On the underside of the bill, write RAT in the center of the bill. Write your name above RAT and your hometown below RAT. On the left of RAT, write your incoming major and on the right, write your expected graduation year. On the back of the hat, write TO HELL WITH GEORGIA. If you are planning on co-oping, circle the tip of the cap.
For every football game write TECH above the opponents name with the respective score. If Tech loses, write the game score upside down. If Tech wins, write the score rightside up.
I looked through the different Designer Templates that I had in My Digital Studio and found this one – I switched out all the colors and Designer Papers to fit the color challenge but kept the layout of the page the same as the template. I did add a digital stamp from the Bliss set in the So Much to Sale-a-brate CD – you can get it for free during the Sale-A-Bration promotion going on right now. So it is a great time to purchase My Digital Studio if you haven’t already done it.
This is also my page for this week for Project 52. I ahead for week 6 – got it done at the beginning of the week instead of the end. By the way I did talk to Kyle on Monday and he is coming home Friday for the weekend – yeah! He said he has been busy at school with a heavy load of classes and his TA position.

Today is my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary! I was officially a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator on Feb. 3rd, 2006. I have completed 5 years and I have loved every minute. I also just passed my blog-a-versary (is there such a word?) – I started my blog Jan. 20th, 2009 – two years of blogging! I had a couple of things planned for my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary but I think I need something for my blog-a-versary too – don’t you? What should it be? Let me think on that while I tell you about what else I have planned this month.
Oh but first here is the card that I used as my Make&Take project for my first ever workshop!
images copyright Stampin' Up!
I can’t believe I found the pictures but I actually had a folder called February 2006 and there it was. Along with two or three other projects. Now lets move on to February 2011 – here is what I have going on…..
First I am planning a SAMPLE SALE all month long. I’ll be cleaning out all my samples that I have made and collected for the last five years. So when you come to my house this month you can shop the sample sale – there will be cards, card fronts, 3-Ds and gifts. I may even have some class kits – with all the consumables cut and you can finish how you want.
Second – how about some Bingo? For the month of February you will earn a Bingo card for every $50 your order from me and in March we will play Bingo to win prizes. You’ll want to check my blog (or sign up for daily updates) so that you can see the Bingo pieces that get called. I’ll send out more details and instructions at the end of February along with your earned Bingo cards.

Well let’s get back to my Blog-a-versary – I think it would be appropriate to give away some Blog Candy. I’ll be giving away the stamp set Thank You Kindly to one lucky blog visitor – my way to say Thank You for supporting my blog. To enter into the drawing for my Blog-a-versary Blog Candy please leave a comment on this post between now and Wednesday, February 9th – midnight EST. I will draw a winner and post it on my blog after the 10th.
This was one of the cards that we made at Stamper’s Club Friday night. The card idea was one that I found on a blog somewhere but it wasn’t a Stampin’ Up! blog so I wanted to use the idea with our products. I liked the black and the white and needed to add a third color – I pulled out my Color Coach and this was one of the color combination’s for the Whisper White card – Whisper White, Basic Black and More Mustard.
The Bitty Button does not have thread in it but instead it is a thin piece of More Mustard card stock that is pulled through and tied in a knot. When you don’t have thread in the color you want just use a piece of card stock!
I made the dog and cat look like they were really white by watercoloring around them with a little bit of Sahara Sand Watercolor Wonder Crayon.

I’m listening to the news and they are saying the Atlanta area may get 6-8 inches of snow from Sunday to Monday – what?? That is very unusual for us to get that much snow really to get hardly any snow… it just doesn’t happen much here and this winter we already had black ice that shut down all travel all around us causing people to abandon their cars in the middle of the road, we had snow on Christmas for the first time in well over 100 years and now a major snow/ice storm is headed our way. So while we plan for all this cold (and I know some of you are laughing at us, but since we rarely get snow we just aren’t equipped to handle it – so it becomes a major issue) today’s stamping project is a warm sunny project. Actually it is my “summer” Simply Adorned Charm insert from the class I had recently.
For the class we made inserts of each season, plus the owl I showed yesterday and also a monogram insert. This is the front and back of the summer insert. The stamp set is A Flower for all Seasons. I love the images in this little stamp set. These are stamped with Black StazOn ink and then colored with Stampin’ Write Markers. There is some sponging around the edges with Soft Suede ink and some faux stitching.
The idea of the torn corner with the red behind it is from my friend Michelle – she made one like this but it has been so long ago since I have seen it I don’t know how similar mine ended up being like hers. I added a tiny Linen Thread bow around the pot – I love Linen Thread. Teeny Tiny art is what you get with the Simply Adorned charms.
Think warm thoughts. Crossing fingers it all comes and goes so I don’t have any troubles driving to Nashville on Wednesday morning for the Stampin’ Up! Leadership conference. I hope everyone that is traveling arrives safely at their destinations – be careful out there…
