Playing with more stuff! I saw a sample on a demonstrator-only Facebook page, and had to try it for my grandsons. What do you think of this: I got this adorable new stamp set, Seaside Shore, and thought it would be fun to make a card for Ethan and Jacob. So I started with the inside--if this wasn't going to work I wasn't going to spend time creating the outside of the card...but it DID work,and it came out so cute. So here is the card from the front. I stamped the fish, masked them with a post-it note (stamped the fish and cut out to create the mask) and then stamped over them with the seaweed. I also added the bubbles. Then I colored them to make them look "tropical", and I added Wink of Stella to each fish (sorry you can't see how shiny they are). Then to the inside: I created a "pop up" by folding my cardstock in half and making a slit about 1-3/4" across the fold. Then I scored from each end of the slit to the center of the fold--this allowed me to pop out the "mouth" of my fish. I covered him in Peekaboo Peach Designer Series Paper; his tail is cut from a retired flower punch (but could easily be from a heart punch) and his fins are the retired Scallop Circle punch. On the back of the card, across the "mouth" I added a stamped banner, glued to either side of his mouth. Seaweed was added along the bottom of the "ocean" and I stamped and cut some little shells for the ocean floor. This piece was mounted to little scalloped strips of Peekaboo Peach, and then adhered to the inside of my card. But I had to have a treat to go with my cute card... The new Clear Tiny Treat Boxes were perfect! They are 2" cubes, clear, and such fun to play with. I cut 1-15/16" x 8-1/2" strips of the Peekaboo Peach DSP and scored them at just under the 2" mark every 2"; this allowed me to insert the paper INSIDE the treat box. I wrapped them with ribbon and added little tags. These were cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits and decorated with Swirly Scribbles "seaweed" and cut out fish. And what was inside? Well fish and and worms, of course: I found Swedish Fish and Gummy Worms--what could be more perfect? I loved putting this set together, and expect my grandsons will enjoy it all when it arrives this week. What do you think? All items can be purchased here.

To make the Bird of Paradise punch art, all you will need is the Two-Step Bird punch. Punch 2 pieces of Pacific Point card stock as seen in the above picture. Next, punch out 2 Pumpkin Pie and 1 Old Olive birds. Cut these pieces on the lines in the picture above. Sorry, the lines did not come out too good. Here are the pieces that you will need to make one flower. I used the sponge dauber and various inks to shade the edges of each piece. The following pictures will show you how to assemble the flower: Trim the excess off from the lower edge of the flower. Here is a picture of the finished product... a Bird of Paradise flower!

So I have gotten the Circle Card Thinlit die back out, so if you have followed my Blog for long you know that I love to create characters out of the Circle Card Thinlit. I was watching the TV last night and while flipping channels I came across Bart Simpson, and it hit me I could make a card that looked like him very easily and we all have the pre-teen or teenager that loves 'The Simpsons'. We all also need a good belated birthday card in our stash, so this card kills to birds with one stone. I have taken a few pictures of the making of the card so hopefully it will answer some of the questions that I get on the making of this type of card. So here we go. Belated Birthday Bart Supplies Needed Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, and Whisper White card stock. Momento Black, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Daffodil Delight ink Remembering Your Birthday, and See Ya Later Stamp Sets. 2 1/2", 1 3/4", 1 1/4", 1/2" circle punch, Owl Punch, Hole punch, and Project life corner punch. Circle Card Thinlit, Circle Collection and Oval Collection Framelits. Scissors, Sponge Daubers. Step One The first thing you do is to cut out all pieces needed. The small Black circles are from 1/2" circle punch, The second smallest circle from the Owl punch, and the smallest is from hole punch. The straight line is just 2' Strip cut at 1/8" wide. and the crescent shape is done with the 1/2" punch. Cut out card and oval is the smallest oval framelit. Step Two The next step is to turn card over the back is now the front and fold as seen above. Next cut 1/8" off each side of oval, and with sponge daubers edge around oval with Daffodil Delight ink. Glue all of the small black circles to white circles and the crescent shape to end of strip, as shown above. Step Three I then took my scissors and with the card folded started cutting small V's in the top to mimic his hair. Assemble all the pieces as seen in above picture, Trim the excess Strip and then use the corner punch on the bottom two corners and TaDa........... BART SIMPSON............ The sentiment was stamped and cut out with 2 1/4" circle framelit and the Black circle was punched with the 2 1?2" punch. I truly hope that the pictures helped I have tried videos and do not like any of the outcomes so I will continue to try to post pictures when I can. As always thank you for stopping by and taking a look. Please feel free to leave a comment. If you would like any of the supplies you see above you can get them through my BFF and demonstrator Becky Crain at here web page www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/beckycrain

We are always working on improving our behavior, because, well toddlers live in this house lol I made these punching cards and they are working so well that I wanted to share them with you as a free printable. I am very cautious with incentives. Food is never used as a reward to encourage behavior because I don't want to enable an unhealthy relationship with food. Also I don't want to initiate a token economy where my kids are only doing behaviors (or not doing) for a reward/punishment. Anyone can be trained to say something, but does that change their heart? Usually not. According to the Bible, our behavior is an outpouring of our heart, so we have A LOT of conversations in our home to ensure our kids learn right from wrong and develop internal motivation. In the past we have used colored Popsicle sticks and a ticket jar to help us with character & behavior training. Both have worked well, but I wanted to try out something new. No matter how we are training our children, we know that they are very visual, so they need to be able to see their progress. I printed these behavior cards in color on cardstock paper so that they would hold-up with the punching. Every time one of my kids uses their manners, is kind, shares, listens well, cleans up without being asked, is respectful and obedient, and has a generous spirit and demonstrates a servants heart, they get to punch their card. They usually like to pick the color that they want, and then punch the hole. Dutch can punch his card by himself, but Ellis needs help or she tells Dutch what color she wants and he helps her. I get the kids to punch their own cards, because I want them to know that this is all about THEIR behavior and they need to take responsibility for their own actions. When their card is completed, they earn special activities (i.e. a field trip, go feed the ducks, they get to pick the book before bed, etc.) This is all about positive reinforcement. If they are disrespectful or do not use their manners, nothing happens to the card, they just don't get to punch it. Since they are working towards completing their card, poor behavior sets them back from their goal. Withholding a hole punch is a really big deal to them. This has been working really well in our home lately so I thought I would share it with you (free printable).

Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to share a bundle that is in the regular, Annual Catalogue. I share it because I love the "template tip". ...
This listing will be interesting for beginners in embroidery and in "punch needle". For embroidery, I recommend printing 2 pages on one sheet (hoop 5 inches) This set of patterns is suitable for those who have already studied "Punch Needle" When you purchase the pattern you will receive a A4 size pdf, which you can print out. This pdf includes the patterns and a brief instruction on how to transfer pattern on fabric. The patterns are set up to transfer perfectly to a 8 (20cm ) inch hoop. ---If 8 inches is a big size for you, you can print 2 pages on one sheet, then the size will be about 5 inches (12,5cm) Use your imagination when using the colors of the threads , the length of the loops or knots and unique techniques!

Happy Monday! Jeanne here from Jeanne's Paper Crafts. Wow! Can you believe that it is July already? My kiddos were asking me just the other day where June had gone. :) I guess during summer vacation when all you do is sit around, time must go by pretty quickly! For me, the days seem to drag on, especially during the summer when I'm stuck at work! As most of you know, Emma is taking some time off to take care of her son, Aaron. He was released from the hospital the other day, but she still has a lot to deal with, and so we will continue taking over for her, until she is ready to come back! For my project today, I created cards for both her and baby Aaron! Let's all keep praying that little Aaron gets all healed up and back to his carefree summer vacation, just as any other 12 year old! For this card, I created the base of the card in my Silhouette Studio DE with some basic circles. Once I had the first row of four, I then duplicated it three more times to get four rows of circles. Then from there, select all of them and weld them together! I deleted any extra spaces between the circles, because I wanted the base to be basically a blackout. Once you have that, just duplicate once more, flip and move to the top to create the complete card. I always use the internal offset feature to create the different layers, it works beautifully. The square layer was created with the rounded corner square/rectangle feature. I sized it to where it would fit perfectly in the center of my card. Supplies: PaperTrey Ink Kraft and Vintage Cream cardstock My Mind's Eye Nostalgia 6x6 paper stack Core'dinations Lettering Delights Peep Squeakers cut files Silhouette Studio (card base and square layer) My Creative Time Floral Sentiments My Creative Time Pain, Pain Go Away For Aaron's card, I had to really think about what he might like! It's so much harder to create boy themed cards, because of all the cute little frilly embellishments that are out there now! ;) But while searching through the Silhouette Studio files, I came across this fabulous came controller! Now if Aaron is anything like my own 12 year old, he is definitely into games! For the card base, I again took the base layer, duplicated and flipped it, lined it up and welded them together. I added some black faux stitching to the white layer and some white Jelly Roll pen stitching to the buttons. It looked really plain to me. Then I popped up all of the buttons with pop dots. I also decided to add some Glossy Accents to the colorful buttons on the right, to add just a little dimension to them. Since I used a darker cardstock for my card base, I just duplicated the red layer for the inside of the card, so I could write Aaron a little message. Supplies: PaperTrey Ink Smokey Shadow, White and Pure Poppy cardstock Stampin' Up Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green and Midnight Muse cardstock Misc Bazzill red cardstock Silhouette Studio Library (card base) My Creative Time Pain, Pain Go Away I hope Emma and Aaron are doing much better, now that they are back at home!
We made this card at my good friend Marguerite's workshop on Saturday. She asked that we make a wedding card so this is what I came up with. I like the way there is just a bit of color (Melon Mambo) peeking behind the white. What an easy way to add the bride's wedding color to your card! I've done a different version in the past that was a bit more complicated. I like to keep my workshop cards easy...

Happy Monday! Can you believe it's the last full week of March already?!?! I sure can't ~ this year is just flying by. Well the last week of the month is always fun for me because two very fun things occur....the last Tuesday of the month is Altered Pages "Trending Tuesday" - that's where the AP DT is asked to created based upon a current trend, product or project. This month's Trending Tuesday cue combines two things I love...collage & stencils! I can't wait for you to see what I've created :) The last Wednesday of the month is the Club Scrap Blog Hop! Another very fun event because if you've ever had a chance to play with Club Scrap's paper or stamps you'll understand how cool it is. Well this month's kit was based around the theme - Trees! Today you will get an idea of the project I made because I'm going to share some assembly instructions with you on how to make it....the Never Ending Card!! This card is a real wonder once assembled. It offers so many decorating options is amazing. I have to warn you it is a bit confusing the first couple times and if it's not assembled exactly as shown it won't work so you have to follow the instructions to the T or you will end up very frustrated. Trust me, it took me a couple times to get it just so. Now I tried to make this card several different sizes and finally ended up on the 6x6" finished card. I'll explain why later on. So, let's begin! The Never Ending Card Finished size: 6x6 To begin you will need to cut 4 pieces of cardstock measuring 3" x 6". These could be all one color, two colors as I am using for this example or all 4 different colors. It's totally up to you. Note: This is paper from the Club Scrap Trees kit... Next, score each strip at 1.5" and 4.5" as shown. Orientate your cardstock pieces as shown in the photo - one set horizontally, the other vertically. Number the 4 outer corners of each set of cardstock. You will notice that 1 & 3 are on the outside corners and 2 & 4 are on the inside corners of both sets. Apply 1" of adhesive to each of the outer corners (where the numbers are) on one set of your cardstock pieces. Slide the two pieces of light green cardstock together so you have a 6x6 block of cardstock. To assemble the card you need to match up the numbers - 1 and 3 of the dark green cardstock gets glued to the corresponding 1 & 3 on the light green cardstock; 2 & 4 dark green to the 2 & 4 on the light green cardstock. Now you need to open up the card and crease the score lines. Gently open up the dark green flaps - and fold them under - you will see that you are bending the light green cardstock on it's score lines. Use a bone folder to help sharpen those score lines. Now take the two flaps of light green cardstock and gently fold them towards the back and the dark green cardstock will be folded open on their score lines. Crease these score lines as well. At this point your basic never ending card base is assembled! It's time to decorate...This card offers you 24 different areas to embellish spread over 4 different folded lay-outs!! That's a whole lot of real estate to fill up. Here is why I ended up making the 6x6" card. If you go with a smaller card the individual areas are so small and have funky measurements that it just makes it more of a headache than it's worth. The 6x6 card gives you large enough spaces to use normal stamps and embellishments without having to figure out how to stuff it all in and the measuring is so easy....no confusing fractions down to the tenth of an inch to deal with. The quantity and sizes the the areas are as follows: 8 - 1.5" x 1.5" squares 8 - 1.5" x 3" rectangles 8 - 3" x 3" squares. The next few photos are just to help illustrate each of the different elements available for each of the 4 different folds/lay-outs of the card. You can orient the card either way but I'm starting with the dark green cardstock as the front with vertical flaps. The card front has (4) 1.5" x 3" sections and (2) 3" x 3" sections. Open the green flaps to open the card up to the second lay-out - notice the two narrow rectangles between 7 & 11 and 8 & 12 aren't numbered. This is because they are actually part of the next flip. They do show through on this fold so you may want to keep that in mind when you're laying out the card. This lay-out has (4) 1.5" x 1.5" squares (in the corners) and (2) 3" x 3" squares in the center. Open up the light green squares of the last lay out to reveal (4) 1.5" x 1.5" squares and (2) 3" x 3" squares. Remember the outer 1.5" of each of the 3x3" squares will show in the previous lay-out. The dark green squares from the previous lay-out open up to reveal the very back of the card which has (4) 1.5" x 3" rectangles and (2) 3" x 3" squares. NOTE: When you open up these light green flaps you will be taken back to the beginning. So there you go...assembly instructions and a detailed map of all 4 different lay-outs. You'll have to wait until Wednesday to see how I decorated my card but I assure you it's worth the wait. This card is a real stunner once finished ~ people will be in awe once they start flipping and flipping and flipping... well, you get the picture.
