Aug 17, 2012 | Big Shot, Birthday, Catalogs, Demonstrator |
Here is a sparkling project for you to create for your next party celebration. A birthday, wedding, patriotic holidays, any number of things that include sparkle and fun!
This was a project that we made at my last demonstrator meeting. Leishman designed it and brought enough for everyone to make their own. It uses the Petite Pocket Pouch (remember I said I had another project using that die – here it is) die-cut with the Big Shot and then embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder. This is a modified idea from one in the main Stampin’ Up! catalog. the card that is tucked inside holds the sparklers and a match is tied on with the ribbon.
It’s a fun little project don’t you think?
Aug 16, 2012 | Baker's Twine, Birthday, Cards, Create with Connie & Mary |
I’m sharing a sneak at one of the cards we will be making for my Baker’s Twine class on Friday. I will be teaching some fun ways to use baker’s twine and this is just one. I used the Color Challenge for this weeks Create with Connie & Mary Thursday challenge to give me my colors. I used the Baker’s Twine two different ways on this card – can you see them both? I’m going to try to shoot a video to show how I made the strip and hope to post it later next week.
All the supplies are listed below – come play along with us this week and lets see what you can do with these colors. I can’t wait to see what you create. Visit Create with Connie & Mary and submit your creation for this weeks challenge – each week 3 top creations are selected. Each challenge is open for a week. And then a new challenge will be issued.

Aug 15, 2012 | Cards, Designer Series Paper |
Hey! My internet is back. Sorry I missed posting for the past few days. I felt so disconnected from everything. But thank goodness I had an iphone – I was able to get on and check email and Facebook from there – but trying to work on that little bitty screen was not really working for me.
I made this card a while back and it was an idea from another demonstrator – I have it pinned on Pinterest. This uses the Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper.
I love the natural look and feel and my favorite Linen Thread is on here with one of the new wood style buttons. I think I stuck pretty close to the original card that I saw.
Yesterday was Tuesday with some new My Digital Studio downloads – you can check those out on my website. And we are half way through August so only 2 more weeks to take advantage of the 31% sale on some of the downloads and print products. I need to finish up a couple of books so I can get them printed before the sale ends.
And don’t forget about the Halloween Printer’s Tray Kit – if you join my Stampin’ Up! team you will get it free.
I’ll be back tomorrow for the Create with Connie & Mary Thursday Challenge.

Aug 9, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Create with Connie & Mary, Designer Series Paper, My Digital Studio, Thank You |
Yep it’s time for a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. This week we have a sketch challenge for you. The great thing about a sketch is you could apply it to more than just cards – it could be a scrapbook page, or the front of a box or journal. When I see a sketch I always think about the different things I could do with it. This week I was actually working on some Thank you notes to send out to customers and friends for helping me with my June goal to get 50 orders of $50 and earn the Stampin’ Up! Getaway trip. Well we did it and I owe not only thank yous, but gift certificates to a class and invitations to a celebration party. I wanted to include all of this in one package. I have the gift certificates made (I used My Digital Studio for that) and the party invitations but wanted a cute little thank you to include as well. So I thought I could use the sketch for my design for the thank you. Here is the card I ended up with –
And here is what the sketch looked like
So this is actually a 4×4 card. But what I’m going to do is seal the bottom and left and it will become a pouch with a side opening. I have long envelopes for these to go in. Then in the side I will insert the class gift certificate and the party invitation. Here is what it looks like as a pouch with the other things inside –
All the supplies are listed below – come play along with us this week and lets see what you can do with this sketch – surprise me. I can’t wait to see what you create. Visit
