Mom & Me *Back to School*

Just thought I would share the projects we made in my *Mom & Me* Back to School class.  Yes, I said *Back to School*.  Yikes!!!  It's already that time here in AZ and I'm sad that the summer always seems to fly by!  I would love another month with my girls before the schedules, homework, etc... begin!

Here are the 3 projects we made in class, to get the kiddos excited about going back to school.


We made a Pencil & Notepaper holder, a *Mentos* pencil (should be Rolos but they would melt in a hot second here in AZ), and a corner bookmark.  Then, each person personalized theirs with black glittered stickers.


Here are Cassandra's projects.



Back to the samples.




Here it is with different background paper.

Simple how-to:  2" x 4" wood cut at 8" then sand the ends to your liking.  Trace the top and all 4 sides on the back of your piece of background paper then cut them out.  Generously apply modge podge to wood and place your cut out piece of paper to it.  You can smooth it out with a gift or credit card to make sure it is glued down and to remove any bubbles.  The thicker the background paper works best and you will get less bubbles.  Repeat with remaining pieces of paper 'til all sides are covered.  Let it dry then sand off paper where it meets at the corners.  The more you sand, the more distressed it will look.  When you're done sanding, you can always follow up with sponging the sanded sides to distress it even more.  I was happy with the white from the paper showing after I sanded mine so I didn't sponge the edges with a darker paint or ink but Cassandra did.  You can check out the pic of hers above.  Then, we drilled holes for the pen/pencils.

Graduation Thank You

My hubbie recently graduated and received his Bachelors Degree.  YIPPEE!!!  We are so proud of him and this accomplishment!  We're not done yet, though, his Masters Degree is next.

Well, we needed *Thank You* cards to thank those that were thoughtful and sent him gifts for graduating.  My stamping challenge is coming up with masculine cards/gifts, so I was pretty proud of this one.  Clean, simple and not too much bling.  :o)



If you checked out my *Poppin' Pastels* post from yesterday, you will notice that one of the cards is similar to this one.  Well, I made this card a few weeks ago and it inspired the card I made for my Technique Tuesday class.

Simple How-To:  I embossed the frame from *Papaya Collage* with Versamark and black embossing powder on the Basic Grey layer.  Then, I spritzed it with the Color Spritzer Tool (love, love, love this tool!) and the Basic Black marker.  I also embossed and distressed the *Thank You* banner.  Easy peasy!

Poppin' Pastels, Baby


Wanna learn this fun technique?  Are your pastels/chalks buried underneath a pile of other crafting stuff?  Well, today you will want to dig them out and play!  All you need is Versamark, pastels/chalks and of course, a rubber stamp!

Here are the cards we created in the last Technique Tuesday class using this awesome technique.






For this card, I stamped the frame, from the *Papaya Collage* stamp set, in Versamark on Very Vanilla cardstock.  Let it dry for about 5 minutes (you can start assembling other parts of the card while you are waiting).  Then, I used a cotton ball and used it to *color* with the Early Espresso chalk.  Just swirl the cotton ball on the chalk then swirl it on your stamped image.  The more times you do that, the darker it will get.  I swirled it because I wanted to give it a soft but distressed look.  You might be able to see in the pics that I swirled the chalk inside the frame and on the outside, too.




For this card, you will notice the colors are more intense.  To create this look, I again stamped my image all over the Whisper White layer with Versamark.  The flower I used is from the *Papaya Collage* stamp set, too.  (Can you tell I love this set? :o)  You might have to tip your paper so the light can shine on it, to see where you have stamped already, then, just fill in the empty spaces.  Again, let it dry for about 5 minutes.  This time I used a Qtip and used smaller swirl motions.  Then, to fill in the white space in between the flowers, I used a cotton ball swirled in the same *Tangerine Tango* chalk that I used for the flowers and swirled it where ever I wanted the soft color added.

Hope you have fun with this technique!  Let me know if you have any questions!

WWYD Wednesday

Last night was my latest Technique Tuesday class and we did a *Poppin' Pastel* technique. Be sure to check back to see the cards we made using this technique.

Today I'm sharing the latest WWYD card kit and cards.  I think we all look forward to seeing what everyone came up with!  There are always squeals of ooh's and awww's!  Every card is sooo different, even though we all started with the same supplies.  Fun, fun, fun!

Here are the supplies we received at last months Technique Tuesday class.


Here is the card Michelle created.


Here is the card Randi created.


Here is the card I created.




I used a different fold for my card base.  I scored the 4 1/4" x 11" Pool Party card base at 3 1/8" and 8 5/8".  After I glued the tree image layer to the Lucky Limeade layer, I decided where I wanted it on the card front, held it in place and cut along the top flap edge.  Then, I glued the 2 tree *pieces* in place so they lined up and glued the white scallop punch piece to the underside of the top flap.  Then, I randomly glued punched flowers from the Lucky Limeade scraps.  Wa-La!

Be sure to check back later for our next WWYD kit.  Feel free to play along to see what you can create!  I'd love to see what you made!

Pink Paint Chip Card

First off, I wanted to share this beautiful card I got from my friend Michelle.  I love getting handmade cards and this one definitely brightened my day.  Thanks!


The following card is so quick and easy, it took more time to figure out what colors I wanted to use!  I saw a similar card on Pinterest and followed it back to it's owner.  If you'd like to see where I got my inspiration, click HERE 




I love the simplicity of this card so I decided this is one of the cards we will be making in my upcoming Stamp-A-Stack class this Sunday.  If you are in the Surprise/Phoenix area and would like to attend this class, just give me a hall-er!

Added 7/12/12: Here are the measurements for the paint chip card

*Whisper White ~ 1 piece 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" folded in half will be the card base and 1 piece 3 3/4" x 5" glue *paint chips* to piece with spaces in between each to look like paint chip
*Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo ~ 3 5/8" x 1 1/8" will need 1 piece of each color to create paint chip look then scraps of each to punch butterfly

Let me know if you have any questions!
