Meet Rae Anne

I met Rae Anne while in Campaign IL. She demonstrated SO many beautiful ways to use ribbon card stock, punches to make gorgeous flowers. She was Amazing. I love going to SU events to learn. That way I can share with you. You will love SU more and more as a SU Demonstrator.. I'd love to have you on my Team.




Rae Anne shared this blog that she found the information on how to make this rose.

Wonderful Mother

If you have not ordered you some of the Sweet pea Stitched Felt Flowers from the Mini Catalog (page 32) don't get left out. They are available until April 30th. You will love working with them. I like how you can make a simple quick card have that extra punch. This layout can be use for so many occasions. I'd love to see how you are using your Stitched Felt Flowers. Send me your creations.

Just Cards Club

Once a month this group of girls ( who are so FUN) Gather at my place for "Just Cards" Three designs and they make three of each. They leave with 9 cards and matching envelopes! Look how busy they are! It is always a highlight to my month when these girls gather!

Extra Large Flower Punch

This is one of the cards we made at camp. This technique using the extra large Flower punch, punching two flowers and then Because all SU Card stock is two ply you can use your bone folder to break the fibers in the card stock and separate them to make four flowers that have a faux suede look. That is what we did with this flower. Then layering the flowers and curling the edges makes a completely different look than the original Flower you get when you punch it. The leaves are from the leaves die cut with the big shot. they are all layered on the "Hugs" pre- scalloped card stock.. I LOVE these! The base of this card is Saraha Sand. Colors used are Rose Red and Taken with Teal and old olive. Try you some.

Scream for Ice Cream

Ice Cream Card made with the Scallop Circle punch and the 1 3/4 circle punch. We cut the cone out of Creamy Carmel Card stock and ran it through the Crimper two times in opposite directions to get that "waffle" effect. Hard to see in the photo but the color spritzer was used to add some "Sprinkle" to the ice cream.. Now I'm hungry for some ice cream. this is a fun card to use for any "Celebration"!

Stamp Camp Recipe Card

This is this Months Recipe card. Each month at Camp My mom has Yummy Goodies for us to eat, (so we won't get weak and can't stamp) Each Month we add one of her recipe to our collections. These are 6x6 and fit right into our wonderful 6x6 Albums. This month was Jelly Bean Bark! Really pretty too for Easter.

Happy Easter Box

This is the Bitty Box made with the Big Shot and the Die. The bird is made from the two step large bird punch. Happy Easter is from one of my most used sets, Teeny Tiny Wishes! This was on the projects that we did at Stamp Camp this past Saturday. If you are interested in joining us for Camp once a month, Email me. Seats are limited, and always fill up, so get your name on the list for Aprils

Easter Blessing Multiplied

These are the cards that Elizabeth is making for her Church members. 130 of them. She did an amazing job designing them and pulling it all together. These are the easel cards that are so cool. They are easy to display to enjoy longer. I helped her assemble these Sunday afternoon. Thought I show how many Easter Blessing are going out this week!

Hostess Special for APRIL

Make and takes

Look at these great Make and takes we did at the Spring in to stamping event in Champaign IL this weekend. All made with the "With all my heart " Stamp set. Melon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant, Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip ink! Love the color Combo. Love them all!

Easter Eggs

Many of you have responded about the BEAUTIFUL Easter Eggs that Rachel did. Here is some more information.

Using our reinkers to die the eggs

Mix about a teaspoon of vinegar per half cup of water with your favorite Stampin' Up! Reinker. Use 5-10 drops of reinker depending on your color choice and desired look. Want it darker.. add more lighter add less.

She also used rub-on's

Her directions were Apply rub-ons directly to your eggs and then carefully smooth the rub on with your finger.

Sticky Pages, Sticky Cuts and Sticky Strips

It's easy to create one of a kind Easter eggs with your big shot assorted dies and sticky pages. For even faster decorating, use the pre cut sticky cuts. Sticky Strip is also great for straight lines and patterns. Simply apply one side of the adhesive to the egg and remove the red backing when you are ready to roll the egg in glitter. Use your finger to firmly press the glitter onto the sticky areas to be sure they are well covered. It may also be helpful to rub your embossing buddy on the egg before starting and to use a small brush (like a soft paint brush) to remove the excess glitter when finished.

Rachel also used Glue Dots to create polka-dot eggs by applying glue dots or mini glue dots to your egg. Dip the glue dots in assorted glitter to achieve the desired look. use your finger to firmly press the glitter onto the sticky area.

One more amazing "trick" Rachel did was using embossing powders. Rub your egg with the embossing buddy. then Stamp the image onto your egg using versa Mark and cover the stamped image with embossing powder. Finally, hold your egg with kitchen tongs and heat with the heat tool. She blew the inside of her eggs out so that she could store and use them again year after year!

Thanks again Rachel for sharing with me and now with others about your wonderful idea!

Chubby Bird

This was created by Kimberly Van Diepen. While in Campaign IL this weekend at the Spring in to Stamping conference that Meg Loven and Kim Peck put on, I was the Speaker. Kim Made these as a gift for those of us that were a part of the conference. I was so excited to receive this. This Chubby bird is chip board and is available in the Occasion's mini catalog for $4.95!! There are so many ways you can decorate these. I'll have it at Camp this weekend for all of you to see!

Starting in May 2010

New Club Starting in May!

Here’s how they work.

Once a month you’ll come to a class my house. You will do Three projects. This club will be featuring projects that can be done with the Big Shot! Ways to make gift ideas and variety other projects. If you don’t have a big shot you can still come and learn how to use it and who knows you could earn it for free, when it is your month as the hostess. We will incorporate the punches as I think of the big shot as a BIG Punch machine! We will rotate the hostess benefits each month and depending on the sales each month you will earn Stampin' Up! goodies.

There is a minimum order each month of $35. You will agree to be a part of the club for 12 months starting May 13^th. It’s a great way to have “Me” time each month, be able to get Stampin' Up! products and learn how to use them. Several have already signed up but there are open spots. Tell a friend and carpool over and have a fun night out. If you are interested I’ll send you more information!
