Getting caught up after convention!

2008-08-06T12:48:00.001-07:00

Gosh, I feel like my feet are finally touching the ground once again after convention! We had so much fun and learned so much! It really gave us a ton of energy to focus and expand our business! Which means totally awesome workshops and classes for all you guys!
I feel the biggest announcement at convention was their partnership with Sizzix and the Big Shot. SU! will have ten exclusive dies! And of course the dies will match our great stamp sets and decor! So look forward to seeing our examples of new projects and upcoming classes using the Sizzix!
They also announced on-line ordering. So now if you're up in the night and just can't wait to order something, you can go right ahead and do it! We will give details and instructions on how to do that when the on-line ordering is up and running.
They also announced at Phase 2 for the Decor Elements. As soon as we get information and pictures for that, we will be posting them!
Also, there's a great promotion for 15% off ten stamp sets from the NEW catalog! The promotion runs from August 11 to September 30. Look for the list on the left-hand side of our blog!
We also will be posting a Starter Kit promotion for $199. Be looking for that to be added to our blog!
Thanks for looking and have a fun day!

Thank You! Our Open House was a huge success!

2008-07-19T05:59:00.001-07:00

Thank you so much to all of you who came out to our open house! We had a house full all day long and it was great!

We had club last night and the girls were awesome! We had so much fun!

I'm hoping Tiff took some pictures because I just realized I didn't even take a picture of the projects we made! Oh, well! I will post them later!

Of course you all want to know who won the basket! Well, I don't even know yet! We were so tired after our day, that we decided to wait until this morning to pick the winner! So stay tuned, it will be posted shortly!

Here are the two cards that we are making for our class on Tuesday night, the 10 for $15. These two stamp sets I love! They are from the sneak peek that we got for the new catalog coming out on August 11th! WooHoo! I can't wait! The one on the right is Dream du Jour and then of course the Sock Monkey! So come and be the first ones to make cards from these sets! It will be a riot!

I made this card for a swap for convention. The technique I was to use is the gel technique. You put hair gel in a little baggie and it appears to be like a window or water. This is another brand new never seen before stamp set! This is the Window Dressings set. I was a little disappointed that the "so thankful for you" didn't show up as much as I wanted. I should have embossed! But other than that, I thought it turned out pretty cute!

I am so in love with the little Sock Monkey! I made this baby shower card out of him!

I made these thank you cards as part of her gift. I love the banana!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have fun!

Thanks for looking!
Have fun!

Sunday night, time to get caught up!

2008-06-29T17:01:00.000-07:00

Gosh, I have been so busy I haven't had time to update! So...here it is!

I really like designing and making cards, so I've been joining a lot of swaps on our Stampin'Up! forum.

I did this card for a 10 + 1 swap:

It was so much fun to make, but very labor intensive! I had to cut most of the apron out by hand. And then since I loved the rick rack - reminded me of my grandma's aprons! - I sewed all that on too!

I love this card though cuz you can use it for so many events!

Especially thank you when somebody gives me something very yummy!

This card I did for a 25 + 1 swap. Wow, that's a lot of cards to make!

I made my own designer paper for the backgound piece (the very vanilla with the really rust flower stamped on it) and that was tons of fun! I have never done that before. I think it turned out pretty cool, huh?

My niece, who is a twin, is having twins, so we went to a baby shower for her. I saw this card on Stampers' Showcase and knew that I had to make it for somebody. Well, she was the lucky one! I altered the card from the one I originally saw by changing a few of the colors, adding the wire for the hangers, and then of course making two onesies because of twins, one boy and one girl!

For part of her gift, I made these thank you cards for her. I did five in the pink and five in the blue.

I love this flower with the Build A Brad in the middle! For the flowers on the bottom, I dry embossed and then lightly sanded the raised portion. I think it turned out pretty cool looking! The picture doesn't do it justice. Of course I had

to use a pink paper out of the Berry Bliss DSP so that I could get the white to show through. If I had used a regular piece of Pretty In Pink cardstock, it wouldn't have had the same effect since the cardstock is colored all the way through.

This card was a little tricky to get a good picture of since it's a pull-out card.

It was super easy to make.

I used a B out of SU's chipboard and covered it with DSP.

For the heart in the center of the star, I used a chipboard star from SU and covered it with Real Red and then embossed it with Glassy Glaze a couple of times to get it all shiney and thick.

Hope you enjoyed my cards tonight.

Thanks for looking!

Don't forget to enter our contest for the retired accessory list!

I love this group of women and all the support they give us and our business! A big thank you to Lorie and all her girls!

This is my beautiful niece Kendra and my cutest ever granddaughter Rachel (who is doing so much better!). Kendra was our children's project queen/babysitter!
Thank you so much, Kendra, for helping us! We couldn't have done it without you!

Of course there were lots of other people that came (sorry we don't have your picture!), but we didn't take enough pictures! Next time...more pictures!

We are off to Bear Lake for the weekend! I'll be back on Monday!
Have fun!

Tiff's Stamp Room

2008-06-20T22:59:00.000-07:00

Me and my Mom have most of the same stuff...

I did get these white book shelf’s at Big K and I love them to hold all my 'play' stuff!

I got the paper holders from Ikea.

II think the black shelf came with my husband, I am glad I could put it to good use! It holds all my Designer Series paper perfect!
It also keeps my On Board Chip Board very nice and neat and a great place for my sewing machine.

This has got to be my favorite spot of the house! All our stamps! My mom made me alphabetize them... I would rather have them in theme or categories but she won that argument ; )

Tiff's Work Space

2008-06-20T22:52:00.000-07:00

I love to stamp! These are two of my favorite places in my house! I love my computer because I can get inspired to go and stamp!

I love my work table- it is the perfect height and is right next to the kids play room! They get to play and so do I!

Father's Day Cards

2008-06-20T22:41:00.000-07:00

To my Secret Sister

2008-06-20T22:26:00.000-07:00

Just a little note to my Secret Sister to let her I know I am thinking about her!

Get Well Card for my Dad

2008-06-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

This Stamp Set, Farm Fever is retired ; ( but I love it so much!
I made this card for my dad after his shoulder surgery.
My Dad is such a hard worker that he made my Mom drive him to his job sites two days after!
Get better Dad - You can take a break : 0 )
I love you!

Good Morning!

2008-06-18T19:00:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share pictures of my stamp room and some of the things I use for organization that I absolutely love!

This shoe organizer is what I use to put all my stamps in. It's the perfect size and is very strong . I love it! It's so easy to see all my stamps. I put them in alphabetical order so I can keep track of them all!

I got these racks from IKEA. I can't remember what they were called, but they were in the kitchen department. They were very easy to install and are the perfect size for the punches. Even the baby punches stay on. Obviously I need another rod! And then, of course, more punches! I love punches!

I got these boxes from IKEA. I had to assemble them myself, and I put a coating of paint on them. They are the perfect size to put all my stuff in! I put my ribbon in the middle box. I have my "designer" ribbon in the top drawer, and my spools of ribbon in the two tall drawers.

This is how I store my cardstock and DSP. I haven't really found anything that I love to store my DSP in, but this is a good start. It keeps it organized and keeps it from getting bent. It's an easy way for me to see my cardstock. This seems like a really good way to store it to me. I have all the colors right where I can see them to help my designing process.

Last but not least, this is the cutest thing I found at IKEA. It was actually in their curtain hanging section. It's a metal type of cord and then there's a little clip to attach your pictures, cards, whatever to! It's so cute and was very easy to install. Well, at least it was easy for my husband to install! LOL!

I'm off to get ready for my open house On Firday! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody and to see who wins my HUGE basket of SU! products!

WooHoo! I got featured on Stampin'Up!'s Stampers' Showcase!

2008-06-18T18:35:00.000-07:00

I am sooooo excited! I woke up this morning and checked Stampin'Up!'s Stampers' Showcase, and there was my card! I can't believe it! Out of the hundreds of demonstrators that submit cards each day, my card got picked! How exciting for me!This is the picture that's on SU's website!

I have been so busy lately! I have been making projects to submit to Artful Inkables for an opening they have for their design team! Wish me luck!
Also my little granddaughter Rachel (Tiff's daughter) has been very sick and has been in the hospital. Poor little girl! She seems to be doing better tonight, so that is great news!

The cute little Zoofari card that I made has been bugging me, so I revamped it! I like it alot better with the other animals on it. It just seemed to be missing something, you know???

I made this cute KuKu Flower! It was so much fun! I just made it out of scraps of ribbon that I had. I am sending it to my DDSS Lil Sis. I attached it to this awesome M&M holder! Hope she likes it!

It seems like Father's Day was a really long time ago, but I know it wasn't! Time goes by so fast these days.

I made this card for my cute little hubby!

I made this one for my son-in-law. Can you tell I

was getting in a hurry?

I made this card for my dad and my father-in-law. Kinda cheatin', but, hey, I was running out of time!

I pulled out these retired sets so that I could make some really fun cards and be able to do some water coloring!
I think these first two cards are my favorite!

I love this lady on Stampin' Fun!

I did quite a bit of layering and used my sewing machine, which I love to do! I really like the look it gives the card.

I embossed this image with irredescent ice to make her shine! It reminded me of being all wet!

I wasn't too sure about the colors on this card when I first started. But when it was finished, I thought it turned out pretty nice! I actually like the greens and the red together!

I used my Cuttlebug quite a bit today too. I love the texture that it gives to my cards.

On this card I dry embossed the flower and then lightly sanded it. I used my crimper and crimped the bottom half of the DSP.

I hope you enjoyed my cards!
Thanks for looking!
Have fun!

My little Sweet Pea!

2008-06-17T18:08:00.000-07:00

This is my cute little one! She is sick and has been in the hospital- we hope tonight is her last night!

Stampin' All Day... Birthday Card

2008-06-11T20:34:00.000-07:00

My husband was sick today and took our two foster sons to there summer program and our little boy James really wanted to go with him. So they went and droped them off and then went to the doctor. I only had one baby for the morning! And she took a hour and a half nap!! I got in some much needed stampin'!!

As being part of the Secret Sister with Spit Coast Stampers we get to send any Sister who has a Birthday in this round a card- so I just got two names and this was the card I made to send them : ) This stamp set Pretty Princess is retired and I only used it one time with it was current to I thought I would pull it out. I hope they enjoy the card and have a great Birthday!

Stampin' all Day Angle Card

2008-06-11T20:32:00.000-07:00

One of the Sister's has a family member in the hospital, this is the card I sent her. Our prayer's go out to her and her family.

Busy Stampin' Day Today!

2008-06-11T18:19:00.001-07:00

I got a card from my SCS DDSS Big Sis! Here it is:
Thanks, Big Sis!

I got this card in the mail today from a DDSS Angel!
Cute card! I love how she punched the holes in the flower and has the old olive underneath. Cute!

I was in some sort of stampin' frenzy today! I made three cards and one altered paperclip (which was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be)!

This is the first card I made. I've had this vision in my mind, and did my best at creating it on paper. It didn't turn out exactly how I had hoped, but it's still pretty good!

I made this card from the Loads of Love set. I made it for my DDSS Lil Sis for the challenge for the second half of the month. I hope she likes it!

Then I made this paperclip to send her also to go along with the Flower Power theme for the month.

The last card I made today was this birthday card that I'm going to send out for the Birthday Babes on Splitcoast Stampers. I CASE'd it out of the Card magazine. I thought it was so cute! It was very easy to! Used my CuttleBug for the die cut alphabet.

Wow, now I think I'll sleep great tonight!

Busy day today!

2008-06-10T18:25:00.001-07:00

I have this great friend who sent me the yummiest homemade blackberry jelly made from home grown blackberries! Yummy!!!
I sent this to him and his wife as a thank you!
It was fun making it. I've never used this stamp set. I stiched around the edges to give it a more "homey" feel.

It's my granddaughter Bailey's birthday today! She's two!!
I wanted to make her a card, so I combined it with the color challenge on SCS and came up with this card!
Turned out kinda cute!
I put iridescent ice embossing powder on the tusk so that it shines!

This month for Secret Sisters on Split Coast Stamper’s theme is Flower Power. The challenge was to stamp outside the box! Stamp a card to your sister using a non-floral set to make a floral design or use a floral stamp to make a non-floral card.

So I used a butterfly stamp from -Reasons to Smile - I used one of the butterfly wings and 'masked' it and stamped it five times to make the flower and stamped "Wishing you every little thing your heart desires.... and every big thing too!" from, In My Thoughts on the indise.
I then used a snowflake from Trimmings On Board Chipboard (Holiday Collection 07), used my brayer to ink it with Cameo Coral. I used Ribbon from Rustic Retreat. (Idea Book and Catalog 2006-2007) Paper- Old Olive and Very Vanilla. Inks- Old Olive, Ruby Red, Summer Sun, More Mustard and Cameo Coral.
