"Clearly" Fabulous...

Window sheets are SO much fun to play with. They are great for cards, scrapbook pages, and ESPECIALLY 3D items. I just have a very quick project to share with you today. I made a box using the Fancy Favor Big Shot die (but you could make any kind of box with these) and the medium Window Sheets. So easy to make a fun Christmas favor! (I took pictures with a red background so you could see the box better.) Here is the box...

And a side view...

And a close up of the tree on the front...

I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the bottom of the tree and then also added a Rhinestone brad at top for some sparkle. Also...if you look in the bottom corner you can see the "be merry" sentiment. I just stamped this with White Staz-On ink. Stamps great on the window sheets!!!

And then a top view so you can see the fancy border around the top and the fun treats inside! You could add any treat to this box and anyone would LOVE to get it! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

Night and Day Album...

I have a SUPER fun project to share with you today! It is using the Night and Day Designer Series Paper that is in the holiday mini and it's FABULOUS! I have been trying to think of something to do with this paper to really show it off. And I'm loving this project. Here is a pic...

This album is SO EASY to make! It has all those different tabs that you flip to see all the pages. I should have taken a pic of each page. But here are the first few tabs close up...

I used the Fundamental Phrases stamp set to stamp a word on each tab. And then just used the Round Tab punch to make the tabs. With the black and white pages, I wanted one color to make things pop. I finally decided on Melon Mambo and it's perfect! Although if you were doing this for a boy, Bermuda Bay would be super great too. Here is a pic of the top view...
So all the pages flip and reveal the next page. I will put some photos in this and then take some more pictures of it too. Now all you do to make this is cut 4 strips of paper to 4 1/2" x 12". Then score one of the sheets at 2", one at 3", one at 4", and one at 5". Then just put them together in order. Secure the middle (I just stapled it) and you have your album. Embellish however you want!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

Notebook Fun...

I love making little notebooks. I think they are so much fun. I saw one in the Stampin' Success magazine we get as demo's and so I wanted to make one. Here was my version of it...

That's a chipboard frame that I stamped on with Classic ink. And then I sponged around the edges. The colors are Old Olive and Not Quite Navy. I love this little stamp set too. It's called Note to Self I believe. I also used the Big Shot texturz plates for the background...

Can you see that swirly pattern in the back? This is just a fun little notebook to pop in your purse or wherever. Here it is from the top...

Just add whatever kind of paper you want. I used just regular printer paper but you can use cardstock or lined paper or whatever. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

November Club Day...

Today was club day! I have so much fun on club days. They are a blast. I just wanted to share the projects that we made today. We made this Thanksgiving/Grateful card...
I love this card. I got this card idea at that Demo meeting I went to. Love this! So cute. The leaves (from the "Falling Leaves" set) are punched out with the 1 1/4" punch...and that makes this card a breeze to complete. Here is a close-up...

The background is wheeled with the coordinating jumbo wheel. I forget how GREAT the wheels are. They are a lot of fun to use!

The next project we did was this Post-It note holder. There is even space to hold a pen!

Can I even tell you HOW MUCH I love this penguin! :) He is SO CUTE! He is from the Cold & Cuddly stamp set that is in the mini catalog. Here is a close-up so you can see the Post-Its...

The iceberg I even sprayed with the Shimmer Spray I made with the Frost White Shimmer Paint. You can't really tell in the photo but it's super fun in real life. And then when you open it up...here is your Post-It pad to write on...

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting! I am starting a new club round in January. Email me at designwithink@gmail.com if you have questions/would like to know more/want to join/etc. You can live by me and attend in person or you can live long distance and still take advantage of the benefits. You will get two free projects each month, get to grow your stamping supplies on a budget, and even earn FREE stuff! Let me know if you would like to know more! :)

Sweet Season...

Sharing a few Christmas cards with you today. These were done with the "Sweet Season" stamp set. I actually made these at our Convention in August. I thought they were so cute. This first one is a "Gate card" and the Designer Series Paper piece and ribbon tied around the card is actually a belly band. Here is the card...

And then when you remove the belly band (that is in the bottom left corner of the bottom photo), the card opens and you get to see the fun ornament on the inside. That stamp set is called "Tree Trimmings" and is just darling! :) And of course you have to stamp a coordinating envelope. :)

This next card is actually using the same ribbon and stamp sets as the last card. The great thing about this ribbon is it has polka dots on one side, and just the plain stitching on the other. So depending on your project and what look you want, you can use the dots or not. Just FYI. :) On to this other card...

I REALLY love this one!!! Although there is some cutting...it is such a QUICK card. And it's on Kraft...my fave. :) And of course there is a matching envelope. :) Here is a close up of the ornaments...

Notice that clear Rhinestone Brad? I love the detail that adds. I hope you enjoy these cards! Thanks for visiting!

Christmas Is Coming...

I am sure lots of you are trying to figure out your Christmas card for the year right now. :) Here are a couple ideas for you. (Made these cards at our Demonstrator Card Making Night awhile back.) On to the cards...
I love this snowflake stamp set. It's one of my faves...just better get some more use out of it! This is the "Serene Snowflakes" stamp set that is in the mini. FUN! The saying is from the "Christmas Punch" hostess stamp set. LOVE this one. Here's a bit of a close-up...

I am loving this next card. It is using the FABULOUS flocked paper that is in the "Christmas Cocoa" Specialty Paper collection. The white is all flocked and it is FABULOUS in real life! LOVE it!!!

Love the ornament stamp set and coordinating punch as well. Seriously....this card was a BREEZE to make! Too minutes! It was marvelous! :) The "o" in the joy on the ornament is from the pretties kit...one of the half pearls. Love that touch. Here is a close-up...

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!!!
