Manly Stamping

The day before yesterday, Stampin Up! started showing a whole new kit that I find kind of hysterical:









It's called, "Dude! You're Welcome" and I think it's sort of awesome and sort of hilarious.  Go on over to my shop and check it out...  There's even a tutorial to watch.

Let it snow!

Here are a few shots of some fabulous flakes I made with the snow flurry die.  I had to borrow this from my friend, Nicole, as I somehow missed it in the fall/winter catalog.  SO SAD!

But look how cute they are!  Let this be a lesson to all: Make sure you get your product in a timely fashion!!!






Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find the UPS man on my porch with a snappy little brown box!  I hurried the kids to bed and made this cute little card:


I'm thinking it's perfect for my mom for valentine's day.  Pool Party CS; Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and Rich Razzleberry inks; and Hearts a Flutter Framelits and Stamps

Not too froufrou and easy as pie! And since it's almost Sale-a-bration, I got some preview goodies that I don't think I can show yet.  But I'll whip up some goodies maybe this weekend and post the finished product :)

Happy Stamping

Christmas Break...down

So it would appear that the Christmas holiday got the best of me.  The husband was sick. the kids were sick.  and then the unthinkable... I was sick.  Craftiness fell by the way side as I shoved my BigShot over to make room for the cool mist humidifier and slept in my craft room.

But now everyone is well enough to return to work and school and so I have a free moment to post up a quick little card set I made from my Perfectly Preserved framelit and stamp set:


I think I will package them up with some of that same raspberry ribbon and make them into part of my teacher appreciation gift for the spring.

I'm starting to think about Valentine's day and I just put in an order for some supplies to have a little Valentine Card Party here at my humble (and hopefully cleaner by then) abode.  Once I get my delivery and make up my projects, I'll post them up here and maybe put a few in my etsy shop.

Craft on!

Buy what you see!

I finally got around to opening my etsy shop.  Now if you see something here on the blog and you think "oh man! I MUST have that immediately!"  you can click on over and I will send it to you :)



How easy is that?  Now, if you see something you like and you think, "oh man! not only do I need to have that RIGHT NOW, but I also need to be able to make more of them for myself, friends and family!" you can click on over and buy supplies either by clicking that little 'shop now' button you see up top or by clicking shop inktasticfun and make sure you select me as your demonstrator to get even more savings.



Now for the craft o' the day:



How cute are these?  I made a batch of them last night for favors for a christmas brunch my mom is throwing.  I think they will look great on her table settings.


Speaking of tables, now you've seen my kitchen island and coffee table serving as impromptu backdrops.  Both are pretty scary in high res :)

well that's all for today.  go on over and check out my etsy shop and let me know what you think...

Holiday Ornament

Here's a first try at the very famous Stampin' Up! Ornament from the cover of the holiday catalog:






I used Be of Good Cheer DSP and the Holiday Ornaments Framelits and a little creativity (and hot glue) to get it to all adhere nicely.  I think I will make up a few more to give out as gifts to my family at Christmas.  Generally I bake a ton and a half of cookies, but I think I'll use these ornaments to dress up my little tins this year.

What do you think?  I'm pretty happy how it came out and I like using the double side of the DSP for coordinating colors.
