Simply Adorned

Check it out! I love it, well of course it is silver, so I knew I would love it!

Stampin' Up has finally released their jewelry line called Simply Adorned. The mini lists all of the possible items that you can order. Shown in the picture is the Bracelet and 5/8" Circle Charm.

Now the charms are all two sided and open easily, but stay closed when you want them closed. For this charm I used my 1/2" circle punch and used some DSP to fill my charm.

Please let me know if you would like to see the bracelet or the necklace. Between my mom and I we have samples of all the different items.

Happy Jewelry Making! Britni :)

Birthday Bird!

Pun Fun is a set that I have not had out of the closet for awhile, but I knew I had to get it out when Julia's birthday came along.

This is one of Julia's favorite sets and I was also inspired by her wedding colors to use blues and browns. I also add a splash of Cameo Coral.

I hope she enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

R.A.K. - Random Act of Kindness

What a great surprise to come home to a surprise card when I get home from work. My upline and friend Georgia sent me a Random Act of Kindness card. She knew I loved this stamp set and thought I would appreciate the card. I of course did!

Georgia used all kinds of wonderful supplies for this card. She used her Big Shot, Circle Cutter, Totally Tess stamp set, and the beautiful Valentine DSP from the new mini.

Thanks Georgia!!!!

Happy R.A.K.! Britni :)

Last Minute Valentine Idea

My mom and I worked on these the other night. This is a quick and easy project that you can make for some friends or even with your kids for their classroom. It ends up looking like a matchbox. We used sticky strip to keep it together at the bottom. They can eat the candy right out of the card if they want.

Let me know if you have any questions about this project!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Kangaroo Fun!

This is a stamp set that I have overlooked for too long. I was flipping through my catalog and decided it was time to get this set. I love that it can be used for many different occasions.

The kangaroo is so cute and there are many items that will fit in the pouch.

For this card I put some presents in her pouch. How cute is that?!

This card was quick, easy, and simple. Sometimes we don't have a lot of time to make a card or don't have embellishments that coordinate. Just use your paper and color to make it what you want it to be. Be Creative!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Cupcake!

On a Pedestal is such a fun stamp set. I really enjoyed making this card. I used so many different products with this card and I think it really paid off.

I started with Kraft as my base then put the Chocolate Chip through my Big Shot using my texture plates. I then added a scalloped edge with Bermuda Bay, one of my other coordinating colors.

I then layered on top of my Melon Mambo ribbon the Bermuda Bay and the stamped image.

I of course used markers to color in the image and stamp it onto the Whisper White. This is how I was able to get the different colors. Then to top it all off I added some silver brads.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my idea for today. Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Turtle Time!

I was so inspired after I decided to make a card using my Scallop Circle Big Shot Die.

I placed the paper that was folded in half so that it would become a card instead of two separate pieces. I then used my circle punch to punch four circles to place behind the turtle that I stamped. I stamped the turtle and words and then punched them out with my Scallop Circle Punch.

This very cute turtle is from the NEW stamp set called Fox and Friends. The words are from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Now, I did add ribbon to this card because I thought it needed a little more, but if this were for a boy I probably would leave the ribbon off.

I hope you have a chance to make a card using some of your Big Shot Dies soon!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Happy Hearts!

Oh I love how this card turned out. This card is nothing like how I planned it to be.

I cut my Real Red Card stock and then cut my beautiful Sending Love DSP....as I was cutting the DSP I thought oh I love both sides, but I really want the sparkly side to be prominent. That is when I decided to tear it and show both sides. I loved it!!!

I then stamped the heart from A Happy Heart stamp set. I tried several different places and it just didn't look right, so I knew I had to tear all the sides and that did the trick.

If you could see this card in person you could see the wonderful sparkles on the flowers.

Get ready for Valentine's Day because it will be here before you know it!

Happy Planning! Britni :)

Flower Fun!

I have a workshop and a Make and Take coming up the next two weekends and this is one of the cards that I am featuring. I am doing this card at the workshop because it is a quick and simple card for stampers at all different stages.

For this card I used the beautiful Rich Razzelberry In-Color paper. I love purple shades and I course love this color!

I then got out my Big Shot to cut out the Scallop Square. I stamped flowers from the New stamp set called Vintage Vogue. I used Rich Razzelberry and Silver and then used Basic Black for the words.

I am not sure if you can see it, but I used the Wheel that matches this stamp set for the background of this. I love how quick and easy this cards comes together.


Happy Stamping! Britni :)
