Easy Post it Note Holder

Here is a quick and easy Post it Note Holder. I needed to come up with a design for a quick and easy party favor.
The paper I used is Old Olive cut at 4"X5" (it might be better to cut it 4"X51/2" depending on the size of post it notes that you use.)
I used a new Wheel for the background called Hero and Old Olive ink.
The little strip of paper is So Saffron cut at 4"X1".
The saying is from the Refuge and Strength stamp set. It fits perfectly in the new Scallop oval punch.
The little holder for the pencil (those are Golf pencils that you can buy in bulk at most office supply stores.) is made with a strip of whisper white paper. I used the slit punch and used adhesive on the top part only.

Peekaboo Card

Here is a birthday slider card that I made. I called it peekaboo because it slides and has a hidden message. I used the Tall Tales DS paper. The greetings is from the On Your Birthday Stamp set. The little cupcakes are from The more the Merrier Hostess Stamp set (contact me to find out how to qualify for that stamp set).
 
I made a short Video on how to make this card.

Box Galore

Hi Stampers,
today I am going to share with you some simple yet great looking boxes. I love the fact that you can match your gift box with your gift tag and your gift card! So unique and elegant.
 
The first box I made would be perfect for a wedding gift. I used specialty paper that is now discontinued I believe but the new bridal set would have the same effect.
I used white organza ribbon and made a little tag.

The next box is very easy to make and can be sized down to fit the need. The one in the picture is made with one single sheet of 12 X 12 paper. I used a wheel to create an easy background with soft suede. I also sponged the edge of the box with soft suede. I found that Soft Suede (a new in color) and Red Rose work great together.
I used another retired item for my stamped image and punch 3 flowers using the petal punch in soft suede, dusty durango and crushed curry. Old olive is another color that complement the new in color very well.
The next box is  part of my July mail kit that will be available tomorrow.
The colors I used for this project are So Saffron, Red Rose, Brilliant Blue, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive.
This box can easily hold 12 cards and 12 envelopes. Here is a quick preview of the cards that will come in the kit.
For all the boxes I used the Scallop Edge Punch. Today is the last day for that special. If you want any of the templates for those boxes, just send me an e-mail.
Thanks for stopping by!

Stampers across the world, the time has finally come for the new catalog. For those of you who are not familiar with Stampin'Up, a new catalog is much more than just a catalog. It is a book filled with design and ideas and projects. Long before I became a consultant I could not wait to get my hands on a new catalog. The $10 price might seem steep but it is worth every penny!

This is it for today.

Butterfly Friends

Flight of the Butterfly is one of my all time favorite stamp.
I designed this card for a friend of mine who needed a CD gift card.
The color I used are Tempting Turquoise, Brilliant Blue and Whisper White.

1. Cut Tempting Turquoise 51/2 in X 11 in and score at 51/2 in.
2. Using the Classic Star wheel create a background using Tempting Turquoise Ink.
3. Cut Brilliant Blue 5X5 in and tear the edge.
4. Cut Whisper White 4X4 in and tear the edge as well.
5. I stamped my background butterfly with versamark and used Stampin Pastels to make them pop.
6. I stamped the sentiment on the card.
7. The other butterfly was stamped on a different piece of paper and cut out using the paper snips scissor (perfect for detailed cutting like this).
8. I used dimensional to place my butterfly on the page.
9. For the inside I used the Classic Star wheel to create a background. The reason why I used stars is because my friend's team is the "all star" team.
10. I used Dotto adhesive to place the empty CD sleeve so that it can be removed if necessary. I found those CD sleeves here. 

Here is the inside of the card.

This was a fun and easy project to make. Perfect if you need to make a lot of them.

Daddy's wallet

Here is the card I made for my sweet hubby this past daddy's day. I do not have many masculine stamps and I wanted to do something original.
Here is my card.
I used the Owl Together Stamp Set and the paper is from the wonderful Rockabillity Specialty (114039). This paper was perfect for the look of my project. The card is actually a "wallet".
Here is the inside of my wallet card. There is a little tag with a note in it and the kids each wrote a special note to their dad that they put inside.
This was such an easy and fun project to make. E-mail me if you want the exact measurements for this project.
Here is my wonderful hubby and beautiful children.

We have been traveling this past week, thus the lack of posts and having a great time. Right now I am enjoying my husband being home and some fun family time. This should never be taken for granted.
This is it for today. TTFN and Happy Stamping!
