A notepad gift- using the Let it Snow Specialty DSP

Look at this SUPER CUTE Note Pad that my sweet friend, Sherri Peters gave to me last weekend!!  I love it!  What a special gift it is!!  Look at all of the detail & love she put into making this!  It made me feel so special that she gave it to me. 

This is what the front looks like.  She used the Let It Snow Specialty DSP, along with the Stitched Be Mine & Layering Circles Dies.   Look at the ribbons, Enamel Dot embellishments & all of the little extras!

And she didn't stop....check out what is on the inside!!  She made 2 little pouches, to put receipts into.  And the other side, she has attached a note pad.

Look how she added more snowmen & pieces from the Let It Snow DSP.  It is just adorable!

It was a busy day & night with kids here.  Last night we played games, read books & shot hoops.  Deke worked in the field all day/night, as they are finally picking corn, but not having good luck.  As the combine broke down, the rain messed up getting cornstalk bales made, etc........so it was a short night here. 

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for a meeting.  He'll then come home & hopefully get cornstalk bales made- if they are dried out enough.  

I'm off to Manda's this morning.  I'll take the 3 Seeley boys to school & spend my day with Masen, Ainslee & a friends little girl, Acea will be here too today.  The 4 big boys will ride the bus here after school.  When all of the kids have gone home I have lots I have to get done tonight.  

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
Happy Stamping!

A stand up Post-it-Note holder!

DON'T MISS THE 

On Line EXTRAVAGNZA SALE

that starts tomorrow- 11/20/19-11/22/19!

You can CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT IT!

++++++++

Look at this cute post-it-note holder that I made for a retreat that I attended in September.  I made these for everyone that was there.  I thought they turned out cute!!!  

I love the fall theme & colors that I used!

If you look closely at the depth in the leaf.  I used a sponge dauber & my Cajun Craze ink.  I added ink directly onto the inside of the leaf & then cut it out with the die.  Can you see how it shows the dimension, with the veins in the leaves popping out.  Neat huh!

This is what it looks like opened up!

How did I do it?

• I started out with a 4x4" chipboard.
• I covered it with a 4x4" piece of designer paper.
• I made a cover for the post-it-note & covered it with card stock.   
• I decorated the front cover of it.

But the cool part is that this actually stands up!  I modified some clothes pins, so that they were "legs".  

So it can stand up on your desk, bookshelf or table- super easy!

Check out how I hot glued these clothes pins onto the back of the chip board!  

stamp set: 'Gather Together'
card stock:

• Pretty Peacock- 4 1/4" x 3 1/8"- score at 3 1/8" & 3 1/2"
• Cajun Craze- 4 x 1/2"- flag ends with Paper Snips; 2" strip- sponge Cajun Craze ink onto leaf die & cut out with Big Shot
• Whisper White- 1 3/4"strip- stamp words & punch out

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  Last night the Seeley family came out to visit & eat supper with us, so that we could celebrate Manda's birthday!  I made ham balls, cheesy potatoes, corn casserole & a yellow cake!  The 3 boys & I made wooden snowman.  They had fun making them!  And they turned out cute!

This morning I'm off to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  

Tonight Masen & Ainslee will be here with us for awhile, as Nathan & Sarah have a meeting & Brayden has basketball practice.  

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

I had a great a weekend at Stampin' Up! On Stage.  Oh my gosh......I love the NEW Mini Catalog that starts on January 3rd & can't wait to share it with all of you!!

Here is a picture that Frenchie took of us on Saturday morning.  We had just got done eating breakfast.  The guys were off on the day & us girls were off to attend a fun filled full day of Stampin' Up! things!

Deke & I got home about 3:00 yesterday afternoon.  He chored & I unpacked & started laundry.  We then went to Brayden's basketball game.  

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for weekly board meeting.  I'm up to get things done & head to Manda's.  I'll take the 3 Seeley boys to school & spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  Brayden, Brody, Drake & Trey will ride the bus here.  I'm not sure what we are doing tonight.....

A GORGEOUS red glimmer cardinal!

I have a GORGEOUS Cardinal to share with you today!

Check out this beautiful Toile Tidings Suite in the Holiday Catalog on pages 6-9!  This sweet has endless possibilities!  

This was another one of the many cards that everyone made at my Holiday Extravaganza class last month.

Check out the sparkle on this cardinal.  I used the Red Glimmer paper underneath a stamped Window Sheet to make this awesome look!

stamp set:  'Toile Christmas' & 'Tidings All Around'
card stock:

• Thick Very Vanilla- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
• Very Vanilla- 4 x 4"- for inside of card
• Garden Green- 4 x 4"; 4 1/4" strip to stamp wreath onto & cut out with die
• Real Red- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4"; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & cut out with die
• Red Glimmer- 3" strip- cut out with cardinal die & use Paper Snips to cut off the fee;
• Crushed Curry- 1/2" strip- stamp beak onto & fussy cut out with Paper Snips
• Window Sheet- 3" strip- stamp cardinal onto using Black Stazon & then cut out using Cardinal die

designer paper:  'Toile Tidings DSP- 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"
ink;  Black Stazon, Garden Greenother:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Christmas Cardinal Dies, All Around Wreath Die, Red Rhinestones, Real Red 1" Ruched Ribbon- approx. 16", Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Paper Snips, Tear & Tape

NOTES:  

• I adhered the Red Glimmer to the back side of the Cardinal Window Sheet.  I also used a glue dot & adhered it under the beak.  
• BE SURE YOU USE STAZON ink, as Memento will not dry on Window Sheets- no matter how long you let it sit!

I made this fold to be like it was a book opening!  This is a view of it while standing up.  I used Tear & Tape underneath the ribbon to hold the end of the card secure & stuck together.  

+++++++++

We are flying home from a whirlwind of 1 1/2 day at a Stampin' Up! event!!  We will land around noon today & then head straight home.

Today it is simple Saturday!!  And check out this super cute card......

Oh my gosh......I LOVE this Etch-a-Sketch card!  I used the 'Christmas Crowd' stamp set in the Holiday Catalog on page 10 to make it.  

Our boys totally love Etch-a-Sketches & they all have one.  They are so fun to doodle & draw with. When I showed this card to them- it totally met their approval!  

I got a swap, similar to this card, from someone in the monthly group I'm in with Carols Group.  I am so sorry- I don't remember who made this- but if you know, please message me, as I'd like to give her credit.  I just loved it & knew when I saw it, that it would be a perfect card for one of my many Holiday Extravaganza projects.

Pop up inside present, with #Elfie!

#Elfie

Look at this cute elf!!!  He just makes me smile!!  All of the images in this #Elfie stamp set are adorable!

This is one of the fun fold card that everyone made at my Holiday Extravaganza class last month.  

I used the Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder & the Let it Snow Specialty DSP on the front of this card too.  

But check out the inside of it. 

On the inside I added a little pop up Christmas package.  The card lays flat when it is shut, but when you open the card up, the bottom of the box goes down & the package is opened.  

You could add some cash or a gift card to the inside of the package if you wanted to!

It is neat doesn't it!

Would you like to know how to add a package like this to your card?  Read on- I have step-by-step photos & instructions so that you can do it too!

What are the measurements for this package?

• Whisper White- 8 x 2"- score at 2, 4 6"= base piece for package.
• Whisper White- 2 x 2 1/2"- score at 1/2"= add on piece for the box of the package.
• DSP- 4 x 3/4"= fold in half before adhering to the Whisper White card stock.  Be sure to link up your center fold with the center fold of the Whisper White card stock box piece.

How do you do it?

• This is what you want it to look like- when you have it all adhered together.  

• Add 4 strips of tear & tape as shown.

• For the package bottom- add a strip of tear & tape to along the top score area, right along the top of side of the scored line.
• Stick this face down onto the back side for the strip.
• Add the strip of DSP along the front center edge.  
• Flip the bottom square up so that it is in between- when it is folded up.  

•  Now peel off the 4 tear & tape strips, fold in half as shown below.

• Turn it over & adhere it to the inside of the card (bottom) center.

•  You now have your package added to the inside of your card!

ENJOY making this!  If you have any questions- don't hesitate to contact me!

A Merry Moose Chirstmas Ornament

The 'Merry Moose' stamp set in the catalog has endless possibilities!!  Look at this cute ornament that everyone made with me at my Holiday Extravagnaza class last month!

I had originally hoped to stamp the moose onto this, but the wood chips weren't quite big enough.  So I just stamped a cluster of trees on the front!  And then on the back I stamped a greeting & wrote the year on it with my Stampin' Write Marker.  

And here is what I decided to stamp on the back side of it!!  

So what do you think?  I think that they turned out super cute!

I have to give a big shout out to my friend Donna Williams, as her husband John cut these wood chips for me & he even drilled the holes in them!  They were from some trees that were in the timber.  Cool huh!  I think that they are from a White Birch tree- but I am not positive.  I told him on New Years Eve that I'd love to have some.  He brought them to me the first part of February & wouldn't let me pay him for them.  So I sent him home a bunch of bacon for them to eat!

stamp set:  'Itty Bitty Christmas' (words) & 'Merry Moose' (trees)
ink:  Mossy Meadow
Stampin' Write Marker:  Mossy Meadow
other:  Wood tree circle & twine

+++++++

Yesterday I spent my day with Masen & Ainslee!  When they went home last night I worked on stamping stuff.

This morning Deke is up early & off to chore.  He then has his weekly board meeting at the courthouse.  I'm up & will get ready & head to town to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school.  Trey, me, Ainslee & Nathan will go to the elementary school for the Veteran's ceremony.  Aunt Kathy, Uncle Jerry, Brayden, Brody, Drake & Masen will all be there too.

I'll then spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  Tonight Susie's Hair Hut is open for business, as the Seeley boys need haircuts!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!

Ride with Me

How cute is this farm house style old truck!!  

This card is one that everyone made at my Holiday Extravaganza a couple of weeks ago.  It turned out cute!

I stamped the words, punch them out with the Tailored Tag punch & then punch out 2 more pieces, using the Tailored Tag punch & Real Red card stock.  I cut those to pieces......one horizontally & one vertical.  I then layered them behind the words & trim off the 2 end pieces- so that they have even layering all the way around.

I have made several other cards & posted them here on my blog, using this stamp set.  All of them were blue trucks though!  I like how this red one turned out.

Yesterday I spent my day with Masen & Ainslee.  And then I kicked off a full weekend of stamp classes!!

I had a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack class here last night!  It was a fun evening visiting & stamping with everyone that joined me.  This morning I was up early to work on cutting card stock.  We then sold a semi of hogs, so I went out to help Deke mark, sort & load them.  The semi was later than normal, so bless my downline Cindy & Steph for helping me out.  As I have classes today- one this morning & one this afternoon here at our home.  I'm so thankful that Cindy & Stpeh came early & were here to help take care of things here at our home until I got in from working on the farm.  I enjoyed getting to see everyone & visit with all that joined me to stamp today!!!!!  I am off to get everything cleaned up & then finish cutting card stock tonight.  As tomorrow I have 2 of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stacks in Hiawatha.   WOO HOO!!

Gotta run......

Happy Stamping!
