For the Birds with Deb Valder

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Yes, it DID snow this morning but I'm forging forward and stamping SPRING!  :0)  So I'm using the set from Stampin' Up! called "For the Birds" and I'm going to use a technique called "paper piecing".

 

For the Birds 3

I used it on my calendar.

For the Birds

and the same idea on a card for my friend.

For the Birds 2

Do you see the waggon?  It's popped. 

 

So how did I do that?  I stamped the image on my card/calendar.  Then I stamped the image again on a piece of Real Red Cardstock.  I cut out JUST the wagon and popped it on the card.  It gives your project a 3-D look.  Then I added some buttons from the Clearance Rack.  Yes, you can bargain shop, it's fun!  Just go to my website www.stampladee.stampinup.net and click on SHOP NOW!

 

Way cool.  Okay so I want to show you another new item from my Online Store…

Flip Flops

So here is our first NO SEW project!  These were made for me by my amazing daughter-in-law (she gave them to all her bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom)!  It was so much fun for all of us to receive these.  They are made from our Stampin' Up! fabric ripped into strips and tied onto the flip flops!  How simple is that!!!!

 

onsie

I'm going to be a gramma for the first time VERY soon and I just can't wait. 

Here is a onsie I made that uses Stampin' Up's Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die

#114507 $21.95.

Instead of sewing them on, I used our Fabric Adhesive Roll #122194 for $14.95

to adhere them to the onsie!

That was easy!!!!!

 

Fabric Pin

Another No-Sew project.  Use any one of our Bigz dies to cut out flowers and

put them together with a brad for an amazing shabby chic pin!  It's all the rage.

The more you wear it, the shabbier it gets – so cool!

Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s Off to Stamp I go…..

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Did ya miss me?  Well I have to tell you that I had the most wonderful – MAGICAL time in Disney for 10 days.  Shelli Gardner, the co-founder of Stampin' Up! invited those of us who earned the trip to come to Disney for a VERY magical time and she did NOT disappoint us!  It was amazing.  It was a free trip for both my husband and myself.  Do you want to go next year, just ask me how you too can join us!  Read on…

 

Before I left freeeeeezing New York and headed for wonderfully warm Florida (ahhhhhhh) I made swaps for the Stampin' Up! card swap.  I just had to incorporate the little lady (Minnie).  My card was made with supplies from our April Special.  I used the Bright Blossoms Stamp Set, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, Basic Black 1/2" scalloped ribbon (I turned it over so the dots did not show), Scallop Cirle Bigz Die # 113468, 21/2" circle Punch 3/4" circle, 1/2" circle punch, Heart to Heart punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, 3/8" basic black taffeta ribbon.

 

So after the short airplane ride, we arrived at our destination

Disney's Boardwalk Hotel!

 

Isn't it beautiful – well stay tuned…

 

 

We were greeted by a wonderful lady that lead us into the hotel lobby – OH MY GOSH!  I think I died and went to heaven (remember this trip was completely FREE!)  Can ya stand it?!!!

 

And look what was waiting for us when we got to the room – BON BONS!!!!  :0)  Really, can you stand it?!!!!

 

And here is a view from the back of the hotel overlooking the lake!!!!

 

Here is the Boardwalk that comes ALIVE at night!

 

And across the lake…

 

 

Here is one of the Villas!  Isn't this so stinken cute!

 

When taking the boat to or from Epocot or MGM, here is the gateway that brings us home.

 

SPECTACULAR!!!!

So stay tuned, this week I will have samples and more breathtaking pictures for you!  Thank You Shelli from the bottom of our hearts!  It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!  I can't wait for the Fiji trip next year!!!

Big Shot Class…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Jewelry making meets the stamping world is NOT new but maybe this is to you.  Back in 2010, I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar in Baltimore, Maryland, with my friend Sue Hyer and her team.  While we were there I saw some amazing jewelry that a woman made with soft drink cans (and some not so soft drink cans if you know what I mean) and the Big Shot.  Here is what she was wearing.

 

This was made with our Beautiful Butterfly Die #114507 and the Stampin' Up! Big Shot #113474. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these.

 This one was made with our Daisies #2 Die #114520 and our Antique Brads #117273. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these. 

You can also click on the Clearance Rack on my Demonstrator Website and we have some awesome embellishments that you will love to add to these pins.  REMEMBER the more you order this month (up until March 31st), you will get free stuff from Sale-a-Bration if you order $50 or more so HURRY!

 

So for Big Shot class this month we made some of these amazing pins which can also be used on a card or project.

Here are three that I made.  One is made with the Arizona Tea can; one is with the Arnold Palmer can and the yellow one is done with a Country Time Lemonade can.  It's so much fun going to the grocery store (well it's not fun going TO the grocery store but it's fun looking and picking out all different types of cans to make pins with and  with our dies).  Like I said, we made these at Big Shot Class and put felt and pinbacks on them.  Everyone's came out absolutely gorgeous!  I have mine on my Spring jacket.

 

 

Oh yes….I added some tule and I think feathers might be added now that I look at it. 

The possibilities are endless.

OH and guess what….one of my Saratoga Continuing Ed class members (who follows my blog) BROUGHT ME A FRESCA!!!!  They really DO make it!!!!  Thank you Janet!!!!  mmmmmmm it tastes just like I thought it would! 

 

So then we got talking about other things that "used" to be around. 

Do you remember Jiffy Pop? 

Fizzies (oh how I loved Fizzies)? 

Tab? 

S & H Green Stamps? 

How about Double Mint Gum (and their commercials)?  and what about

Teaberry Gum and …..

BLACKJACK Gum?!!!!  Did you ever eat BlackJack Gum and stick it to one of your front teeth so that it looked like you were missing a tooth….Oh my gosh, I'm cracking myself up! 

We had so much fun at all my Continuing Ed classes, we all laughed about these things WHILE stamping! 

 

Hope you enjoyed my post.  Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back.  Remember if you want to put in an order before Sale-A-Bration is over (Sale-a-Bration ends March 31st), just go to my website and get all that you want/need and you will get FREE Sale-a-Bration rewards for each $50 you spend.  YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ORDER IN NO LATER THAN MARCH 31st.  So hurry, make your list, check it twice then hit ENTER!!!!  :0)  Have a great day.

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Things to Remember

  • You can only order these on my website (click the picture above to get you to the correct spot)

One of the items in the store is the Tulipe Big Shot Die.  Do you remember this project I did for the Ronald McDonald House?  Well her wings are done with that die and THAT die is on the clearance rack.

front view

 

Back view – see the Tulipe Die, I cut part of it off but it's PERFECT for her wings.  So make sure you check out the Clearance Rack, there are lots of good things on there.

Here are a few more of my favorites.  I ordered a lot off the clearance rack myself.

1.  The old fashioned (the easier one) 3/16 corner rounder #109047 – $4.19

2.  Scallop Edge Punch #112091 – $9.59 (see sample below)

3.  Spiral Punch #109973 – $4.99

4.  Tulipe Big Shot Die #113457 – #113457

 

Do you remember this card?  We HAD to use the old fashioned Scallop Edge Punch because the new model cuts it off…so make sure you get this one (# 112091) if you want to do this style card.

 

see how it does not cut off the edges!  Beautiful!  So make sure you check  it out.

 

I had my Demonstrator Team Get Together on Sunday.  It was so much fun.  I will share more pictures and project ideas with you later on but for now here are just a few…

 

Great Food

and yes this is our snowflake die

Deanna used it as a stencil for her snowflake cake – it was just beautiful…

 

Super Great Friends…

 

and FABTABULOUS projects! 

 

More sharing for another day, for now, I'm off to bed!   Thank you for stopping by.
