A card using the Stampin’ Up! Eggstra Spectacular stamp set

I’m getting all of my Easter cards ready and thought I would share a card using the Stampin’ Up! Eggstra Spectacular stamp set with you today. You will find this stamp set on page 32 in the Celebrate the Everday Occasions catalog. I shared an Easter Treat Box with you a few weeks back  (you can see it here ) and you have been asking for more projects so I have been working on a few to share. The inspiration for this card came from a Convention swap I received a few years ago. I loved the simplicity of the card I received ( sorry there isn’t a name on the back so I can’t give credit) and knew the Bright Blossoms stamp set would be “just right” to pair up with the Eggstra Spectacular set. Tulips seemed to be the best choice as the flowers, after all, it is the first day of spring! I love the grass I created using our new fringe scissors, also found in the Celebrate the Everyday Occasions Catalog. The card needed a bit of sunshine so I added the Daffodil Delight Ribbon and decorative edge.

Eggstra Spectacular ideaSupplies I used:

Stamps: Eggstra Spectacular ( w-133068 c-133071), Bright Blossoms ( w-128424 c-125497 ), Delightful Dozen (w-128547,c-122652)

Inks: StazOn Jet Black (101406 ), Pear Pizzaz (131180 ) , Strawberry Slush (131178 ), Smokey Slate  (131179 )

Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe (131298 ), Whisper White (100730), Pear Pizzaz (131201 ), Daffodil Delight (119683 )

Misc: Punches- Small Oval(120908),Scallop Oval (119856),Large Oval(119855), Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309),Finishing Touches Edgelits (27010),Big Shot(113439),Magnetic Platform(130658),Fringe Scissors(133325), Daffodil Delight 1/2″ Seam Binding(125583), Aqua Painter(103954), Creped Filter Paper(129393),Multi-Purpose Liquid  Glue (110755).

Eggstra Spectacular bunny

Isn’t this fuzzy bunny tail just too dang cute? I created it with our Itty Bitty flower Punch & our Creped Filter Paper using the same technique I shared in this video here. Don’t tell this guy his tail is really a flower!

I promised that I would share this second card I created using the Follow My Heart stamp set a while ago. To be honest, I almost forgot! must be snow on the brain……… This is a limited time only stamp available only while supplies last, or through TODAY, Jan 27. Stampin’ Up! has announced that all of the Follow My Heart clear-mount stamps have sold out butthe wood-mount (#134611 ) is still available. I love all of the images in this set, especially the Eiffel Tower and that banner with the key is so dang cute. While it is in with our Valentine limited products, I find this set for any “love” themed cards like, sweetheart,baby I will be doing a layout for my grand-daughter using this set), and Sweetest Day.

Follow My Heart   I used the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper (132995) for the pennants & the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper(132994) for the mat on the card base.

 

Don’t wait, order this and our other Exclusive Valentine products TODAY before they’re gone! Seethe stamps here& the other products here.

Trendy Valentine Goody Bag

I didn’t want to keep you waiting today so I am bringing you my Trendy Valentine Goody Bag early this morning. I can’t believe what a little sunshine will do for your creative juices, I spent the entire afternoon yesterday creating fun,quick projects to bring to you.   My husband commented that I was like a little kid in a candy store showing him all my creations last night. Even the best of us have that creativity bug bite us and suck all the creativity out!

(I’ll let you in on a little secret.) I’ve been going through boxes since our move but we moved into a house not even 1/4 the size of our last home. I was constantly moving things to get to something then had to move it all back again. With no where for things to go we even had to stack things in front of the windows in the office/closet. While I was away in Houston my husband put up shelves & moved furniture. I came home to sunlight IN my house & I could walk without moving boxes or furniture!! Happy,happy, joy,joy. He’s a real keeper.

Trendy Valentine Goody Bag

Don’t you just love it?

My picture just doesn’t do it justice. It just too dang cute and blingy in real life.

My scrap bin is getting full so I decided it was time for a challenge.I found a scrap of our Tea Lace Doily, some pieces of Red & Silver Glimmer papers & even Whisper White cardstock. I used them all!

Don’t you just love the detail that the Scallop Trim Border punch gives it? If you don’t have one yet now is a great time to get it because it is just one of the products in our Weekly Deals from 1/21/14 – 1/27/14. Check it out here.

 

I promised you I would share a video on how to create this fun,trendy Valentine goody bag. So without further ado. . . . . . . ( I’ve always wanted to say that!)

Let’s all get scrap happy!~I challenge you to take out some scraps and see what you can create. If you email me a picture of what you create I will share them here. Just email them to me at; judi@judistamps.com. I can’t wait to see what you create!!

Trendy Valentine sneak peeks

I just loved creating this trendy Valentine goodie bag using the Perfect Pennants stamp set. I knew I wanted it simple but lots of texture and layers. What? Is there such a thing? Yes this is it!

I am currently working on a video to show you exactly how to make this but am giggling with delight with the finished product. I just couldn’t wait sharing a few little peeks with you today.

An assortment of Holiday projects

I am sharing a video that has a preview of 10 assorted holiday projects. I  learned about Google Hangouts a while ago but didn’t have time to figure it all out.. My upline asked me to participate in a Google Hangout with her and a few other side-line demonstrators. I thought I would share the video with you. I want you to remember this is our first try, but be warned, not our last!

I have been thinking of bringing classes to you through Google Hangout so I thought I would give it a try. We all are learning about this great way to share with our customers. I am posting the video here for you to watch and learn about at least 10 more holiday projects that you can make.


Here’s a look at my projects. Enjoy!

I would love for you to send me a picture of yours and I will take a day and share them with everyone here. I will then pull a name from all those who share. The winnerr will receive a special gift from me.

You will find the video on how to make the Ghiradelli treat holder here.

You will find the Ghiradelli Treat Holder pattern here.

I promised to put this Holiday Treat Holder pattern up for you yesterday but I didn’t like the way it was showing up. I didn’t realize how hard it was to get a white pattern to show up! After many attempts I finally got a good one for you to see. As I said in this video you will be able to cut 4 holders from 1 piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″  card stock so I know you will be cranking these out in no time!

Looking for a versatile treat holder for the holiday? This is a quick and cute one that can be filled with a variety of treats. I filled it with Ghiradelli Peppermint squares but you can adjust the little pocket to fit many different items. I made a video to show you how to create it. You will notice that I mentioned I would put the pattern up here but I couldn’t get it to show up correctly. I will work on re taking the picture and post tomorrow morning. I will put a link here in case you are reading this later than I posted this so you can find it easier, (dang, I still am working on my technical skills!)
