Make A Monster

My sister made my day -- she wanted to go down and make some cards....yeah! I didn't even have to ask, beg and plead.... so we ended up making 4 cards which I'll share in the next few days.  One of my favorite new sets is Make A Monster -- so cute, so easy and practically mistake-proof.

Supplies:
Stamps: Make A Monster
Paper and Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizzaaz, Black Ink
Other: Scalloped Edge Punch, Pear Pizzaaz Ribbon and a hardware(?) I used the circles from Make A Monster to stamp on the Rich Razzleberry.

Playing with blog design

I wanted to try something a little different -- what do you think?

Paper Craft Case

I saw this lay out in Paper Craft magazine and I decided I'd give it a try. I changed up all the colors -- I used some retired DSP - Georgia Peach I bought on the clearance rack at SU.  Love to get a bargain -- especially DSP!!!

Supplies:
No stamping..... Georgia Peach DSP -- So Saffron base layer and petals. Old Olive Ribbon and Silver Brads.
I used 2 punches to create the flowers -- they used a book -- I just couldn't bring myself to cut up a book -- even though I had bought one for a dollar at Target -- so I found a puzzle magazine and stamped out the flowers in the 'answer' section.  I then used a Bubblegum Color Spritz Spray and jewel brad for the center.

My favorite owl....

I really love the new Owl Punch -- using it makes is so simple to put together a very cute card very quickly.

Hope you like it...


Supplies: Owl Punch
Paper: Cajun Craze, So Saffon, DSP, Pear Pizzaaz
Other: Embossed DSP with the Square Lattice, Espresso Ribbon and the Bird punch for the branch

My order...

arrived yesterday. I'm so excited -- most of it is from the Mini -- and for the first time I actually prepped the stamps - that's something my sister always does -- but she's out running around getting ready for her cruise in 11 days.

7 new stamp sets, the new pastels, DSP, the candy die and more -- where to start?

Pretty flowers...

I found this stamp set (non SU) and just had to have it -- so here you go.
