New Catalog Bash!

New Catalog Bash
My House
10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Hello Stampers! Well, I don't have a sample to share with you today because I hope you have already been at my house or are on your way. If you want to see some great samples and some samples you have seen on my blog then head on out to my house and check them out. You can also have a chance to make a card, win a door prize, and see the new catalog.

See you soon! Britni :)

Baja Breeze Top Note

Have I told you lately that I love this stamp set? Well if not then I am here to say that this set is my favorite. Now don't panic....if you have looked at a new catalog it is not in there, but it is on the dormant list. What is a dormant list you ask? It is a list of stamps that are still available to be purchased, but are not in the catalog.

This card was designed by my upline Georgia. I made this card at her make and take. I was very excited how well the colors went together with this card. This card uses Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White. How simple, but the extra details (Top Note from the Big Shot, Jumbo Eyelet, and ribbon) really make the difference.

Thanks for the great inspiration Georgia!!! Looks great! It is always fun to get new and fresh ideas from other people.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my sample. I hope to see all of you on Saturday!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

New Catalog Bash Make and Take

Hello Stampers! Do you like this card? Well, you could come and make this card if you come to my New Catalog Bash this Saturday from 10-3 at my house.

For this card I used the new set called Petal Pizazz and the old set called Fundamental Phrases. The colors I used were Cameo Coral, Not Quite Navy, and Whisper White. I kept it simple, but I thought it turned out great. For the first card I used some brads to enhance the flowers. For the second card I used my two-way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds (I'm not sure if
you can tell).

Also with this card I used my Big Shot and the Top Note Die for the Whisper White and Cameo Coral layers. That means if you come on Saturday you will get a chance to cut out your own Top Notes using the Big Shot!

Have a wonderful day! Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Lord and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4

Stamped Birdhouse

When Justin gets involved in my stamping I get excited! It is not often that he is interested or wants to help. Well, he found the pieces for this birdhouse in our basement and decided to put it together. Then he thought we could stamp on it. So, I went to my mother-in-law's house to borrow her Craft Stampin' Spots.

We then dug out several of my stamp sets and stamped every side of this birdhouse.

This would be a great project to do with kids or a family project. I thought it turned out really cute and it will actually work as a birdhouse this summer. He is going to seal it eventually just to be safe before we put it outside for awhile.

Be Creative and see what you can come up with! Britni :)

Raspberry Tart Baskets

Hello Stampers! Well, I am still without internet so I hope I can stay on top of this blog this week. I am hanging out at my mom and dad's right now trying to catch up on everything.

Today's sample is using the Big Shot and the Basket and Blooms Die. These baskets are so easy to make that when I get started I make several at a time. For these baskets I used the beautiful and new DSP, Raspberry Tart.

If you come to my New Catalog Bash this Saturday from 10-3 then you will get a chance to win one of these with some goodies inside.

I hope to see all of you there. I will be offering the great Sale-A-Bration deal that when you spend $50 you get a free SAB stamp set. Also, when you spend $25 you can purchase a catalog for $5. Would you rather have a FREE catalog? You can either join Card Club or book a workshop with me.

I hope you have enjoyed my sample today. I hope to see all of you this Saturday at my house!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Florida!!!

I wanted to share a few pictures from our vacation to Florida. As you can see I had to go buy a sweatshirt to keep warm most of the days. Finally by Sunday we could walk on the beach in our swimsuits. It was wonderful. We had a great time walking along the beach and checking out the pelicans!
They were fun to watch while they caught their fish.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Don't Forget

The elephant isn't going to forget and I hope you don't either - to make your valentines.

Valentine's Day is about here and I hope you have your valentines ready to be mailed to all your loved ones. This card was so much fun to make. I got to make this card at my upline's Make and Take at the beginning of the month. For this card we used the Aqua painter and our stamp pads to paint the image. I love how the water coloring technique looks. It gives the card a soft look. The stamp set used is called Happy Heart Day. I also love the Riding Hood Red ribbon with this card. Check out the ribbon in the new catalog, this ribbon comes in other colors and there is also some new ribbons!

For this card we also used the two different tag punches and a gold brad to attach it to the card. The scallop at the bottom was also a nice touch.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Happiness

Hello Stampers! It is nice to be back, but my internet is out which makes getting work done a little difficult.

I wanted to give you a quick look at another sample using the new stamp set Petal Pizazz and the great Designer Series Paper, Raspberry Tart. I kept this card very simple, but it turned out very nicely. I also used the set Heard From The Heart, but only colored in the part that I wanted.

The colors I used for this card were Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, and Pink Pirouette.

There are some really great new DSPs such as the one I have used on this card in our new catalog. I love that our DSP is doubled sided so that when you make different projects you can choose which side and it is even better with projects that both sides show.

Thank you for stopping by today. I'm sorry I can't provide more, but until I get my internet back I can't spend a lot of time on here.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Pun's From the Past

Hello Stampers! Today I am demonstrating a way to make your stamps even more useful. I saw this idea using this same stamp set on another blog. After I saw this I knew I had to have this set. I like this set, but I knew I wouldn't always want to use the words. I know we can color the stamp, etc so that the words don't show up, but sometimes that doesn't always work if the stamp is not completely clean.

Here is a great way to put the words wherever you want. This set is called Puns From the Past (okay so I had to ask my mom what some of them meant...I guess I am a little young for some of them. haha)

As you can see from this picture I placed the fan on the back of the block and the words I cut apart from the fan and placed them on the side. I love that that way I can put the words elsewhere or not use them at all.








You can see more clearly how I did this and where I put the sticker. This is a great idea that would work for other sets such as Pun Fun and any others that have words right with the picture.

I hope you are having a wonderful week. Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Enjoy!

Wow! Look at this card design! This card was a lot of fun to make and I love the different elements of it. I also made this card at my upline's make and take. For this card we used the stamp set called Enjoy Every Moment. I have seen a lot of different cards made with this set. This is one that is on my wish list!

For this card we used Old Olive, Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. Now these are colors that I would not think to put together, but I love how they look when you do. This is a good challenge for everyone...tries colors that we don't usually put together. It is a lot of fun to see the results.

Also, with this card we used a Build-A-Brad in the middle of the "o" and I love how it really makes the words pop and gives it one element. The second element is the ribbon at the bottom. All you do is tie the ribbon and then attach it to the card using a Glue Dot. How simple, but it gives it a very different look.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)
