Vanilla Scented embossing powder

I tested out Stampin’ Up!’s new scented embossing powders.  The powders themselves have super strong smell, but once you heat them, the smell is diffused a lot.  You can still smell them, they just aren’t as overpowering as when it is in the powder form.

For this card  I embossed the ice cream cone using the vanilla scent.

I added a glimmer brad as the cherry on top!  I also added some Dazzling Detail for more sparkles.

Check back later this week for cards I made using the other scented embossing powders.

Love Doily Card

Sorry this post is late, I’ve been so busy being crafty this week that I forgot to post them all!

I made this card using the doily sizzlit.  I like how detailed it is, but you really have to add in extra shims and run it through the big shot a couple of times to make sure it cuts all the way through.  Now that I’ve figured out the right “sandwich” formula, it comes out great!

I stamped En Francais in the background using Pink Pirouette and used the Adorning Accents edgelits die and embossing folder.  I cut out the sentiment using the Labels Framelits die and added some Cherry Cobbler seam binding to help soften the card.

Have a great weekend!

Yoko Birthday

This is Yoko. I used some origami paper as the background and for my color inspiration for coloring up Yoko’s kimono.

Check out the Sister Stamps blog for more information on where you can get your own Yoko stamp or for info on their new Easter release.

Kung Hee Fat Choy!

Happy Year of the Dragon!

As you can tell, I really like this Lion Dancers stamp from Sister Stamps!  I used the Fancy Favor die and fussy cut out the stamp.  I also cut out just a strip of the gold paper to add an accent to the top of the favor bag.

 

On the back I used some die cuts from Island Scrapbooking that my cousin gave to me, and a new sakura die that I bought from Photo Craft on my last trip home to Hawaii.

I really like how this turned out.  Have a great new year!

Sister Stamps Easter Release

Get ready for the next release of Sister Stamps on March 1st.  They are so cute for Easter!  I love the bunnies, they are my favorite animal, so of course I have to have all of these!

Check out their blog for more information and where you can buy these.

Lion Dancers Sister Stamps

I love the Lion Dancer stamp from Sister Stamps.  The dancers are so cute.  I used the new edgelit die for accent.  I think it gives it kind of an Asian feel.

I can’t believe that I’m actually making these cards BEFORE Chinese New Year and will get them out in time!  I’ve been a little behind on my crafting recently.  Thanks for stopping by!

Another Sister Stamps New Year Card

Here is another card I made for Chinese New Year, this time using the Lion Dance stamp from Sister Stamps.

Aren’t they so cute!  I also added some glimmer brads as accents.

Stop by the Sister Stamps blog for more information and new stamps!

Firecracker Sister Stamps

With Chinese New Year coming up, I made this card using the Firecracker stamp from Sister Stamps.  I found the origami background paper in my stash and thought that it kind of looked like little bursts of fireworks.

Of course I had to add some glitter for some sparkles!

Have a great weekend!  And don’t forget to check out the Sister Stamps blog.

More Thank You Cards

Here are more thank you cards that I made.  I used the new Mixed Bunch stamp set and the coordinating Blossom punch from the new Occasions Mini catalog.

I added some Dazzling Details onto the flower.

Sister Stamps Miyono Thank You cards

I made some thank you cards using Sister Stamps Miyono.  I thought that the Everyday Enchantment DSP (which will be available during Sale-A-Bration, which starts on January 24th) matched her since it kind of looks like fans.

The paper already comes with a little bit of a distressed look, so I sponged some Crumb Cake around the edges of my image to match.

Sister Stamps Nobu Thank You Cards

I made some thank you cards for my sister, she always has to send out so many for all the gifts that people give to my nephew.  So I used Nobu from Sister Stamps.  I used the same layout but just changed out the Big Top Birthday background paper.

Super simple, but I like how they turned out!

Christmas baked good gifts

I’m still catching up on these pictures that I took from before Christmas!  I made some baked goods to hand out to our co-workers.  Here is the table full of stuff before it was all packed up.

I decorated some plain Kraft bags using some of the stickers from the Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin’ kit.

I also made some tags using the scraps of those sticker.

I wrapped up the goodies using some baker’s twine and a tag.

I love packing my baked goods in pretty packaging, I think it makes them look yummier! 

Paper Doily Card

Happy New Year!!

Sneak Peak: The Paper Doily sizzlit will be available in the Occasions mini on Wednesday, and I couldn’t wait to use it. I made a simple card with a brad in the middle of the doily. I embossed the doily with the snow burst embossing folder.
