"Hello" Scallop Tag Punch Card

Hi Stampers,
This has been a crazy week.  Really busy for me, designing and creating cards and trying to get another YouTube Video posted. And then of course, classes here on Thursday morning and Friday evening.  And...trying to also live my personal life too.  LOL  Have you ordered your Tag Topper Punch yet?  If not, you are really missing out.  They are so much fun to work with!.  Not only can you use them for making tags with "no end to their length", but now you can also make cards with them too.  Here is the card that I made with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.  Isn't it cool?  I have seen so many versions of this card out there now, so I'm not really sure where the original idea  came from;  but here my mine version of the card.

I showed this card to the ladies at the class this morning, and they really loved it and have requested to learn how to make it at my next class in March.  Come and join us at the March class if you are able to make it.   For my customers who cannot make my classes, I have included a YouTube Video below with all of the instructions on creating it for you.  Love to hear from you after you have made it.

Do you own this punch, leave me a comment as to what else you create with it.....

"Woo-Hoo" Card Challenge Card

Hi Stampers,
Here is my card entry called "Just Sayin' Woo-Hoo", for the DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge called Home Sweet Home DSC#071, and also the card that I entered for the Mojo 334 Contest this same week.  This was an Extreme Challenge for me to try to make the one card that would meet requirements for both.  I had to stay in the colors and feel of the Home Sweet Home picture below, but also try to meet the Small and Skinny Card requirements of the MOJO 334 Contest requirements. But...I think I did it!  Love if you could leave me a comment as to what you think of it.

Hi Stampers,
 A Dryer Sheet Card, Yes, you did read it correctly...This card is made with a "Bounce" Dryer Sheet.  This card was the original idea of Tami White, and I just had to make it.  I think you will agree after you make it, that it's one of the prettiest cards you have ever made.  Simple to make; yet soooo elegant. It is hard to see, but this card just sparkles with the use of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter.

  2. Re-ink on right side of card and once again without re-inking stamp to left and up a little higher.
  3. Re-ink stamp on left in front, then without re-inking, stamp edge of tree running off the right side and left sides of the paper.
  4. Using a USED dryer sheet, trim to 5" x 3-3/4" or whatever size you have cut the vanilla layer paper.
  5. Spray the Elmer’s Spray Adhesive onto the dryer sheet, stick onto the vanilla cardstock and press onto the face of the trees.
  6. While wet, pour Dazzling Diamonds over the whole card face. Flick backside of the card to tap off the excess.
