Delicate Box

Good morning my friends.  Today I want to share a box die with you that's been one of my favorites for a very long time.  I love the Box #2 Die Cut and you can use it for so many ideas.  Today I decorated it a little different and used it to house a few small cards. 

I used all kinds of new products on this little guy.  I used the Papaya Collage stamp set with Pool Party ink.  You can see I added a small piece of Vellum across the front of the box too.  I also used our new Apothecary Accents Framelits with a Glass button.  Super pretty and delicate looking. 

On the inside there are three cards.  All 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 in size. 

Each card is just slightly different than the other.  I used Vellum on all three cards and then embossed the vellum on each using the Fancy Fan Folder.  I used the stamp set World Treasures for the greeting on each.  There is a little sewing on two of the cards but it's not over the top.  Just a wee bit.   I love these colors together… Soft Suede, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and a tad of Whisper White. 

What are you creating today?  Remember, you can check out my online store at any time by clicking HERE. Make sure to check out my Online Rewards Zone too!

Have a GREAT day!!

The Sky is the Limit

Good things are happening in my stamp room lately.  I'm not sure if I had told you about this earlier but I'm on a mission to complete a challenge.  A little goal setting if you will with a lovely Stampin' Up! staff member.  I believe 100% in setting goals and I love to set goals and adjust them as I see fit.  Lately I've had to be realistic with myself and come up with a better plan on how I'm running my business with two beautiful but ACTIVE kids.  I'm on the go a lot… however I know that this doesn't mean I can't do my business.  In fact, I think that's the beauty of a good challenge. Just seeing HOW I WILL make it happen.  I'm keeping my challenge a secret for now… but you will understand it soon.  I'm learning that the Sky is the Limit and just as I've always said to my kids and my downline, "You can do anything that you set your mind too!" 

Speaking of the Sky is the Limit… this card is perfect for today.

I love Hot Air Balloons and we are always lucky when we go home to Iowa to see a few in the air as his family lives near the Balloon Field.  The last time we were there Russ went up in one and he loved it.  I had fun chasing it. 

This card uses one of our new Designer Series Papers called World Spectacular.  LOVE, love this paper.  Every single sheet.  I pulled out my Up, Up & Away stamp set and put it to good use tonight. 

I started with Island Indigo cardstock for the base and added a piece of Whisper White CS to mat the DSP onto it.  The balloon is stamped onto Crumb Cake cardstock.  I punched that tiny little Decorative punch using my Decorative Label punch.  Have you seen this done before? Maybe I should do a little tutorial on it? I doubled up the Natural buttons and tied a little Linen thread into them.  I also placed a Daffodil Delight brad on the card to hold my greeting.  Confession… I have barely used my colored brads.  I love how this brad looked on the card.  I will start using more of these.  It's super cute. 

Hope you are having a GREAT week. 

XOXOXOXO

Scrapbooking… with Paper!

Hold on to your pants.  I can barely believe it myself.  I pulled out the paper last night and scrapbooked a layout.  I haven't done that in forever.  FOREVER.

I'm having fun playing with lots of new paper and products.  This layout uses a little bit of new and a retiring die cut.  I used the new Fancy Fan Folder on this layout and the COOL tidbit on this embossing folder is that it's LONGER.  6 3/8" long to be exact.  We have three dies in the catalog that are like this. Love this for scrapbookers. 

I used the Simple Letters Die Cut for my Title, "Action".  This picture was from the final night at Disney.  Not only did we enjoy great entertainment, amazing dinner but the chance to act like real ACTORS.  SO cool. 

At the top left of the layout I cut a few banners and punched a few from cardstock and the World Spectacular DSP.  I used my sewing machine at the top of the layout to sew across the banners.  I like how that turned out.  Lastly, I used the new stamp set called Memorable Moments for the numbers at the top.  I used Island Indigo, Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight for the ink colors.  I just used scissors to cut around the numbers and then used a little snail to adhere them.  Simple.  The bottom Left of the photo I used our new Glass buttons. These are so vintage and beautiful to me.  I was lucky to get these on our trip to Disney. 

Lastly, I added a few Rhinestones and a Brad on my title to give it a little more POP. 

I can't tell you how great it feels to scrapbook. Whether you are a traditional or digital scrapbooker as long as you are doing it I think it's wonderful.  It's relaxing and you are preserving your family's memories. 

Today is also a big day in the Digital World.  Time for new Downloads.  Sure does make a Tuesday spectacular.    You can check out the new downloads HERE. They are FANTASTIC. I love the Season by Season kit!!!

Have a GREAT day!!

My Digital Studio Video

I'm excited to share my first My Digital Studio video with you today.  Yippie!!  When I posted my Disney Album cover onto  the My Digital Studio website the other day someone asked how did I get a "Disney Kit" to work with.  This made me smile because we do not have one but our creativity can go a long way.  A dear demonstrator friend of mine, Heather is one talented cookie when it comes to My Digital Studio. She has taught me COUNTLESS things with this program and one of them was creating a Mickey Mouse.  When I further investigated other downloads and tools I had in my program I knew that creating a "Disney" album was going to be fun.  The beauty of art is using your imagination and creating to your personal liking.  I love using My Digital Studio because the sky is the limit with it.  There are so many great things you can do with it. 

Here is my Album Cover again for my Disney Album I am working on:

Here is a video showing you how to create it.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Here is another layout from my album:
