Rosettes, Rosettes, Rosettes!!!

HAPPY MONDAY! Did you watch the Superbowl? Did your team win? I don't have a team so I don't really care about the outcome but, I hope for your sake that your team won!

One of the trends at CHA was Rosettes! I saw Rosettes everywhere! I think I thought it was last year but it seems that it is a trend that is still here! I love how they look and they are so easy to make! Last year, we made them at cha out of crepe paper. It was such a cute look but hey, I need to use Stampin' Up! Papers, right!? So, I gathered out my papers, and decided to use the new papers

-I used 2 strips of designer paper, cut at 1 3/4" x 12".
-I scored at 1/2" all the way across.
-Punch across one edge. This is using the pinking hearts border punch!










-Accordion fold each strip. The first one start with mountain, and the second strip, start with valley. This way the 2 strips can be attached together with only 2 layers, rather than having 2 bulky areas. They will form a circle.

I then gathered the center in together, leaving the punched edge to the outer edge. I put them in an egg poacher ring. (you can get this at the .99 cents store or any discount store or market!)

Glue a circle to the back side using white glue (I used tacky glue)

Punch out a heart, and then lay it on the Scallop Embossed heart of hearts die

After it is run through the machine, this is what it will look like.

Then, punch out white cardstock but use the full heart.

Lay the punched embossed red heart on the white scallop heart. This is what you will have after attaching it with white glue.

A Kind Word

Sweet pea and a Kind Word....sounds like something you would want to send to a friend! The greeting phrase is from Whimsical Words, which is a Sale A Bration set!

I love the colors, the Rose Red, and Old Olive along with the Sweet Pea Paper stack, and the felt Sweet Pea flowers. I really love the shapes of these, and although I would rather just buy them and never use them, what good is that??

I know, I am a hoarder. I love the hoarding but, I HAVE TO USE THEM RIGHT?? This is from my card class for Superbowl Sunday! It is a girls day out! I might be watching the commercials, but we'll see....

Stamping is in the Air!

I have been preoccupied, but I am sure my absence from my blog is probably the biggest indication. It has been a rough few weeks and then I was at CHA, and then I got sick!
It has also been a time of making some decisions about staying with Stampin' Up! or putting it all behind me. I am still not sure what I am going to be doing but for now, I am staying with Stampin' Up! I love their products and it is more economical for me to stay than to try to start something else with any other company!

The other thing is the NEW stamps that are coming out! I love the new papers and the new format the stamps are in! They take up less room and are really easy to use. The clear mount makes it slimmer to store and less cumbersome!

This card is done using Vintage Vogue and Well Scripted. I used the colors on the paper to stamp with. The colors are: chocolate chip, taken with teal, so saffron, and pumpkin pie. This is really out of my scope of colors, but I do like it! (taking me out of my comfort zone!)

Sometimes it is good to be out of comfort zone. It helps you to grow. When I am all settled with my current situation, I will share with you what has been going on...and I do hope that after all the dust settles, I will be able to continue with my Stampin' Up! Career!

hugs!

With All My Heart...

I went to CHA on Sunday, and Monday, and then got sick. Yes, as I was walking around on Monday, I suddenly was sick...so Today, I spent the day at home instead of going to work.

I slept but then woke up and had a burst of energy..well, being sick and a burst of energy is an oxymoron, but for me, it gave me enough strength to stamp a card....

Plus, I got this stamp set and the punch yesterday...heh heh...the card is styled after a make and take that I did at CHA (Stamp Lounge) It is a trifold card that is asymmetrical

This is a die that Sizzix used with the Score board. It is a die that can be used in the Big Shot, and scores the board to make this 3D cup! Isn't it cute!

And as I was in the make and take, I saw...SHELLI! :D....

It is raining, and my daughter just cut her finger. I think she might need stitches, so I better get her to the ER....I hope she doesn't need stitches....
