For the Birds

I'm working on a display for my upline's upcoming team meeting in March. The theme is birds, and I will be featuring the new XL Bird on a Branch punch and On Board Bird Book in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Here's a picture of some of my supplies: Bird on a Branch punch, On Board Bird Book, Sweet Pea DSP, and Sweet Pea Stitched Felt. Stay tuned for my projects!

More I {Heart} Hearts

I really like this card design (see 1/28/10) so I decided to make it again using different colors. The card base is pink so it didn't scan well. Sorry about that! Hopefully you can get the idea, though. All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

More Heart Treat Cups

Tonight Ginny and I made Valentines for her grandparents and cousins. We used the Heart Treat Cups. It was a little trickier that I had anticipated punching the heart after stamping the image that goes around the heart since you can't see the stamped image when your card stock is in the punch. So a quick tip is to mark the center with a pencil so that you have a better chance of centering your punch. Even if it isn't perfect, the recipients will enjoy your art from the heart!! It was also a little tricky placing the filled cup on the card stock backing. I don't have a real great tip for that other than it seemed to work holding the cup and card stock at an angle. The tape isn't super sticky on the cup so if you need to reposition the cup, you can. All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

100 Bears

Today is the Art for Kids at TMHS. My friend Lecia and I are hosting a table for kids to dress paper Build-A-Bears. We're making 100 bears each with accessories. Here's what my 100 bears look like. It was pretty easy to die cut them all in a fairly short period of time. I was able to put 2 through the Big Shot at a time so I only had to crank the handle 50 times instead of 100!
