God's Beauty

Check it out! Look very closely...what do you see? Do you see that awesome texture on the Top Note? I love my new texture plates from Stampin' Up! I decided to double up with the Big Shot. I first cut out my Top Note and then ran it back through using my texture plate. Wow! The Big Shot can do so many different things.

I then used this beautiful hostess stamp set to accent this background. The saying says it all on this card!

You have until July to earn this great hostess set! I wouldn't let it pass you by. This butterfly will make beautiful spring and summer cards.

Thanks for taking time to check out my blog! Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Card Holder Folder

Wouldn't this be a great gift? I am always looking for great home-made gifts to give to friends and family. There are different holidays and occasions to give gifts anytime of the year, but wouldn't it also be nice to receive something just because?

I watched a great demonstrator video with some of my fellow stamping demonstrators and this is one project that I learned how to make. This is a folder. As you can see below the outside of the folder is decorated to match the coordinating cards. The inside of the folder has two slots where you can place three envelopes on one side and the three cards on the other. Then after they use the cards and envelopes they could use it to keep coupons, vacation memories, cards from someone else, etc. The ideas ar endless. It is a gift within a gift.

Would you like more information on this project? Join Card Club today or let me know you would like a copy of the instructions when you place your next order!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Sale-A-Bration!

There is still time! Sale-A-Bration is still here, but not for long! SAB is a great time of year for customers and demonstrators. I have even earned some FREE stamps myself. When you spend $50 you can also get a FREE stamp set, paper, or ribbon bundle from the SAB catalog.

Well, I am off and gone again and I like to have a contest while I am gone (we are at a wedding this time). Would you like to win something from the SAB catalog? I bet you would. Leave me a message by Tuesday night and tell me your favorite card or technique that I have featured here on my blog.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Sticky Note Valentine

Here is another example of the Sticky-Note holder. I loved making these and I really loved making this one for my mom. I love to give and receive useful gifts. This is a great item to stick in your purse, backpack, or craft bag for those quick notes.

Be creative in how you embellish it. Have fun, but use a sturdy paper to make sure it weathers going in and out of bags. You can always make a coordinating pen to go with it.

Have fun and thanks for stopping by today! Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Florida Scrapbooking Part Two

Here are some more of my florida pics. I only did two spreads, but I thought they turned out great. These pages contain more pictures so I had to think of a creative way to display them and make them flow.

I kept the similar pictures together. All of these shots are focused around the birds. I love nature and I loved watching the birds at the beach. Justin and I also had to have a photo shoot with the birds. Justin enjoyed chasing and scaring them a little too much!

A great element of these pages were the cirlces. It helps draw your eyes around the pages and everything isn't a square. I started with the build-a-brads on the right side and I thought those turned out great. Then with the circles around the shells on the left it really topped it all off.
I would love to share these pages with you. Come to an event and ask to see these pages. I had a ton of fun making them and I thought the results were great.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Happy Scrapping! Britni :)

Florida Scrapbooking Part One

Well here they are! I got my Florida pictures scrapbooked. It didn't take me that long to get them done. What I loved was that I could order my prints from snapfish and they come right to my mailbox. That makes it easier on me.

For my scrapbook pages I used our new and beautiful textured DSP, Parisian Breeze. It is so beautiful and it really made these pictures stand out. I also used our stamp set called Seaside. These shells were perfect because these were the shells we saw in Florida.

As you can see I did a lot of layering. I love layers and it adds texture and a great visual effect.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I am so thankful for my faithful bloggers. I love that you take the time to check out my new creations and it keeps me motivated to make new and exciting projects.

Don't forget...it isn't too late to sign up for my April 4th Scrapbook class. All you need is a Scrappin' Kit and an album. I will provide stamps, markers, stamp pads, and punches. If you want embellishments such as brads, ribbons, etc then you will need to bring that.

I will be your personal scrapbooking coach that day and I will provide scrapmaps and great scrapbooking pointers. Let me know ASAP if you are interested in coming to that class.

Happy Scrapping! Britni :)

Rooster!!!

When I saw this rooster I knew I had to have it. As a demonstrator we get a sneak peak at some of the stamp sets before anyone else. This was one set that we had a chance to buy ahead of time, too. I am so glad that I waited. I get chances just like you do to earn hostess benefits!!! I earned this set for FREE!

To make this card I used a design that I saw on another card, but modified it to fit my design and colors. I love how it all went together. My mom noticed that the Ruby Red with the Basic Black words stamped made the Ruby Red seem even richer and darker.

I hoped you enjoyed my rooster as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Hostess Flowers

I love how this card turned out. I wanted to keep it simple, but really focus on the words and flowers.

This is a hostess stamp set that is worth earning. When you stamp it it stamps just the outline of the flowers and leaves. I thought the card was beautiful that way, but then I decided to get out my pastels and color in the flowers. This made the flowers really pop off the paper and made me say WOW! It is amazing what one small detail will do to the entire card.

The colors used for this card were Ballet Blue, Rose Red, Kraft, and Always Artichoke. Host a workshop and earn this great stamp set. It is worth it!

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Jumbo Paper-clip card

I love cards and gifts all in one! This is a great way to give just that small gift to someone that you care about.

This is easy to make when you don't have very much time.

For this card, I used our in colors, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, and Tangerine Tango! I love how these colors go together so well.

For the paper clip, I used a Jumbo Paper clip that you can find at Wal-Mart. I just punched out the scallop circle and layered with the flowers that I punched using my circle punches. I tied a little ribbon along the top to give it just one more element.

These are the types of projects that we do at Card Club. This is March's 3-D project! This is always room for more to join.

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Stamping! Britni :)
