I then added  white taffeta ribbon .

Quick  tip/idea ~  You can also put money in  the  slot  instead of  a gift card . Such a sweet card  for  any ocassion  especially  with graduation/ Fathers  Day  coming up  this makes the  presentation of your gift the present as well.

Today is my  VBS presentation  for  the Music  YIKES!!  Not sure If I know the  song well enough  But  maybe no one will notice since everyone will be  doing the  motions right along with me ...Click the link below to hear  the song I will be doing today :-) once  your on the  site  click on  song  which is listed below also

Chalk Lines ~ Video

Howdy  Stampers :

I was reminded  last week  from my  friend  and Stampin queen  Carol  about a techinuqe  I showed them  a LONGGGGGG time ago, I  then said to Carol I must do a video on that .. Even though  Most of  my Stampin Queens  have seen this  technique  I think it will be  a nice refresher . and  for those of you  that have NOT seen  this techniuqe  maybe you will fall in  love with your chalks  again .. There  is  really no name for this technique  so I am  calling  it chalk lines . Simple enough I guess

Click on over to my STAMPIN STUDIO  and check out my newest video .

Until later... Happy Stampin!!

I'm Going to convention !!

YAHOO!!!!

I got in and it was super  easy this year to register ..

I am in Track 4  what about you ?

See you all there  in 85 days  and counting !!

Stars & Polka dots ..

Stars and Polka dots  what a mix HUH?

I used the JERSEY SHORE Designer paper along with Wild Wasabi  card stock  and ink for  greeting. Then those Fabulous Star punches    were used to punch out the  stars  from  "In the Stars" stamp set in the  current mini  catalog . I really love the  Jersey shore Designer paper. These colors I would have never  ever paired  up together ,But are Just Fabulous . I used Pumpkin pie  for the  layer  with the polka dots ( Jersey  Shore )  DS paper . Strung the stars on  silver  cording  and  attached to my  card  with a dimensional .. Such a  simple   card  especially  with those awesome punches . Today is the BIG day !! We get to register for Convention YAHOO!!

I am sooo excited :-)

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

New goodies ..

I  got a  few new stampin goodies a  couple weeks  ago  and this past weekend  I  got to play  with a couple of them.I'm so excited  that I  finally  got  around to purchasing the basic  Gray card stock and ink  and also  the BIG BIRTHDAY CANDLE stamp set  I love this card  maybe  cause its one of those Manly  cards again I don't  know .. I also used a small piece of  vellum  cardstock  for the  greeting  which is attached with a  mini glue  dot . Basic Gray  is the  card base  and I used   Going gray  for the layer . I also used the Basic Gray Taffeta  ribbon  around the  birthday candles .. and Lets not  forget the  dazzling  diamonds   for the  flames . You know a  Card is Not  finished  until there is glitter added  Hee! Hee!  I then used my  white gel pen to  add doodle  dots to the basic  gray  strip  & also to the  candles ( lines and  dots ).   

Have Wonderful Monday Stampers. 

I will see you tomorrow

Until then .. Happy Stampin!!

Embossing resist ~ Video

Hi Stampers ..  Happy Thursday !!

This card will be the focus around  this weeks videos .. I thought I would show you the card 1st.  Its a Oldie  but  still a goodie of a  technique/ Embossing resist  really adds alot  of  OOOOs and AAAhhhhh's  to any of your projects  and its sooo fun and easy .. So lets  click on over to my STAMPIN STUDIO and  check  out  todays Video. See you  over there .

P.S I tried  something  a little  different  on the chocolate chip card stock on this card I added  doodle  dots   with my  white gel pen  and let that dry  then I  dotted over  that with my Chocolate chip   marker. You may be  able to view that better if you  click on  photo to enlarge .I used the  thicker end of my  marker  and  just colored  right on  top of the  white gel pen.

Thanks  for stopping by  today and I will see you  all again tomorrow .

Until then .. Happy Stampin!
