Thanks for all your kind comments on my Tie the Knot samples from last night! Those were SO quick... I did all 8 cards in an hour!!! I only used 2 sheets of cardstock, 1/3 of each of the patterned cardstock pieces and very few of the self-adhesive die cuts from the Tie The Knot Simply Scrappin' kit! WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!!
More details and close ups as promised:
Rub-ons on BUTTONS!! How fun!
More Rub-Ons.... perhaps my favorite is PUTTING Rub-Ons ON THE RIBBON!!
I hope you will try the Simply Scrappin' kits!! I LOVE having all those coordinating pieces to play with !! Makes my life EASY! And adding the brown and white rub-ons from the FREE Sale-A-Bration package is the perfect touch for this kit!
Happy Stampin'

No, I already tied the knot... I'm talking about the AWESOME Simply Scrappin' kit from Stampin' Up! You don't have to be getting married or making a wedding album to LOVE this kit! I went a little crazy tonight making these 4x4 cards with the cardstock and self-adhesive die cuts from this kit!
More details and close up photos to come tomorrow!

Oh wow... I am LOVING this new Spring Break paper! whoohoo! Here's what I've been playing with:
It's a side fold, 4-1/4" sq card with the new striped ribbon and a rub-on greeting!
And another card using the Spring Break Paper... this was fun.. I used the Pig Nose Punch (aka Double Circle Punch) to add accents... rather than use brads, I just let the Not Quite Navy paper show through!! OK, well maybe it's not a HOT HOT HOT tip, but I thought it was fun!
Here is a SNEAK PEEK at our class project for this Saturday!
This project was done with the SUMMER DAYS Simply Scrappin' Kit.. it's a MUST HAVE!!!
Have a GREAT day... go stamp!

Here are a few more projects I came up with using my new goodies from Stampin' Up! ... do you think this one is too crazy? I kind of kept adding stuff to it......... the strip between the Ginger Blossom paper and the Olive card is from the Messenger Accents & Elements tin:
and this one isn't quite so crazy.. but I did combine patterned paper from 2 different packs and stamps from 2 different sets... amazing what happens when there is a lot of stuff on your desk!
I'm not sure about these 2 now that I'm looking at them again... but then again, I think I like them.. I guess the jury is still out.

I got my order(s) {grin} of goodies from the new Stampin' Up! catalog this week, so I put a BUNCH of stuff on my stamping table and started to PLAY! I also got out 2 of my Simply Sent kits and used up the materials in those, so it was fun to combine "old and new".... I hope you enjoy some of the ideas I came up with.. more to follow later...
I LOOOOOOOOOVE playing with the new rub-ons!! (these are from the Sale a Bration catalog.. I'm gonna seriously need multiple packs of this one!)
Fun playing with the Flower Fusion felt flowers and layering them with punches and brads!
Although the suggested coordinating colors for Bali Breeze are officially: Old Olive, Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, I acutally used Tempting Turquoise and Only Orange. Guess I cheated a little bit! LOL
More tomorrow... until then.. have a great day!

From what I've been hearing, it sounds like Boho Backgrounds and One of a Kind are just about the 2 most popular new sets in the new Stampin' Up! catalog! They were the first 2 I mounted this week and then I began to play! They are really versatile, and GREAT together!
I had fun adding the new Flower Fusion felt flowers as accents:
and also embellishing with the new Boho Blossoms punch:
These cards were done on 3x6 Close to Cocoa cards with the Berry Bliss designer paper.
Here is what the Flower Fusion tin looks like when you open it:
Now, on to the Pocket Card with Apricot Appeal and Real Red, plus the new Red Striped ribbon and Build-A-Brad accent. I also added a couple accents with some of the rub-ons. Enjoy!
More play time tomorrow in my stamp loft... stay tuned for more fun things!

FIRST OF ALL... I CANNOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS IDEA... I'm the first to admit that I can copy, borrow, and massage ideas with the best of them.. {grin}... but when I saw this idea on MJ's blog I RAN>>> {yep, RAN!!!} upstairs to my stamp loft to try this!! Oh man.. this is the coolest thing since the combination of peppermint and chocolate!
READY?? Here we go..
We are going to make SCALLOPS the EAAAAAAAAAASY Way!!
(see the row of green scallops?)
and here is my finished sample:
Supplies used:
I also used the Eastern Elegance Rub-ons in 2 places:
OK... so now... RUN, don't walk to your stamp room and try this!! It's too fun!!
If you've clicked on MJ's blog you'll notice she cut the jumbo circle with Paper Snips rather than punch it.. either way works.. try both and see which you prefer.
Have a happy Stampin' Weekend!

I just LOVE the new Rub-ons available in the new Stampin' Up! catalog!!! You can view all the packages on page 182 of the new catalog. The pack I used here is called Eastern Elegance.
I bought these frames at Aaron Brothers and thought they'd make cute Valentine gifts! Enjoy!
Happy New Year and have fun decorating with your new Rub-ons!
