Simply Adorned Charm

Adorned 2

I actually used a retired stamp set for this one. It was my first try and it was the only thing I had to scale. The micro-beads actually sparkle a lot but the photograph doesn’t capture it.

The charms are featured in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.There are other sizes available.This particular one is the size of a dime(if you squared it off of course). Click on the image below to view the details.

Decor Elements

Flower Finesse

I just put the Flower Finesse Decor Element on the back window of my car. I also scraped off every inch of left over adhesive and sticker residue from the previous owner. YAY!

Check out this list! Everything is 25% off until the June 30th.

Flower Finesse is a Level 1 Hostess set so you would need to hurry and host a workshop to get it.

Manhattan Flower

Manhattan Flower
Please click on the image to see the detail.

I didn’t actually make this card. My friend and upline Kari Lyn Harris did. It turned out so nice that I wanted to showcase it.
Oval All was stamped in Staz On on Watercolor Paper and then colored in with either a Blender Pen or an Aqua Painter. She punched the coordinating Scallop Oval in Riding Hood Red as an accent color.
Kari also used a coordinating stamp set and impressions die, she used a fun technique that I have yet to share. When you use a Big Shot impressions die on DSP (Double Sided Paper) you can gently sand off the top layer to reveal the white. This makes a really fun accent to the card.

Stamp Set: Oval All (from the Occasions Mini Catalog), Fifth Avenue Floral (from the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog).
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette (In Color 08-09), Walk in the Park DSP (from the Occasions Mini Catalog), Watercolor Paper.
Ink: Staz On, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette.
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Slot Punch, Scallop Oval Punch (from the Occassions Mini Catalog), Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Sizzix Big Shot and the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die.

Cute Little Carton

Little Carton
This is just a modified 2-4-6-8 box. It uses 1/2 of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I love these watercolor stamp sets because you don’t have to be perfect with your stamping. I made quite a mess of lining things up but as you can see, it doesn’t matter. It still looks very cute! Don’t forget, this set is only available with a $50 purchase and if you order online, you get a FREE 2009 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog to boot! Don’t forget to check out my galleries by clicking on the tabs above. I am working to add more samples once I get a decent photo of them. I need a new camera.

Stamp Set: Botanical Blooms (SAB)
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White
Ink: Apricot Appeal, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Brown
Accessories:Apricot Appeal Grosgrain Ribbon, Small Tag Punch, Sticky Strip

2009 Calendar

calendar-20091
Stamp Set: n/a
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss Textured, Bella Rose DSP, Whisper White
Ink: n/a
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 5/8″ Grosgrain, White Grosgrain, Pewter Jumbo Eyelets, Crop-a-Dile.

This is a 6×6 Calendar. I got the idea from Chris Twing and I super-simplified it. The original was made as a 12×12 and had a lot more embellishments on it. There is supposed to be a photograph on the upper 4×4 piece and it was suggested that you could switch those out by using a mini library clip to hold the photo or by using some Velcro behind that piece. I made the calendar part on Excel.

Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a kit or attending a class to make one. They make great gifts! Hurry! February is coming fast and before you know it, the year will be over again!
