All Dressed Up!

I've been having some fun playing with the All Dressed up Set! It reminds me of fashion plates and paper dolls!  The possibilities are endless and so much fun with the set!  

Item # 129174 and 130101 for the Framelits and Stamp set.
There is also a pop up card base for your big shot that goes with this! That is next on my shopping list!
Remember if you bundle you save!
Use any embossing folder you love! Lacy Brocade would be beautiful!
Very Vanilla Cardstock-DSP Stack Print Poetry
White Tea Lace Paper Doilies
Sponge doilies to make look antique!

Very Vanilla Cardstock & Whisper White
Basic Jewels Pearl Embellishments

Special Thanks to my girl Renee for letting me use her ribbon, embossing folders and goodies!!

Christmas Easel Card

Christmas is gone, but we aren't done yet! My best girl and I are getting together to do more Christmas cards for Operation Write Home and maybe we'll get our new cards done for this year so we can focus on other card projects!
Valentines is coming and I have a big Stampin Up haul coming, can't wait to show you!  Wait until you see the new things you can do from the spring catalog!  You can check the new catalog out on www.stampinup.com
Hope to get some video tutorials going:) Wish this technically challenged girl luck!

Here is one of our Reference cards-I'm gonna make more and tweak
This card is basic- I would use some other colors, posting  so you can get the idea:)  How many cute things can you think of to put in the window!!  Everything is from Stampin Up' except the ribbon--and you def can tell!  It was really hard to work with, and doesn't match! Note to you stampers! I didn't have any Cherry Cobbler, or Very Vanilla ribbon-so used a scrap from a pile
 Pop a battery powered flickering tea light behind the vellum window:) So Cute!

Easy Christmas Tree Card

You girls have to try this one! So easy!  You just need  3x3, 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, 2x2, and a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2" to make the tree.  Fold into triangle, open and fold into a triangle the opposite way. Open and pinch sides to make a flat triangle.  Fold down flaps-repeat for each layer then put a dab on Tombo and insert each point into the bottom of the next.

Distressing the edges before assembly makes the tree look more vintage

Build your card base however you'd like and you can go crazy or simple if you wanna decorate the tree 
Play around and HAVE FUN!

This music note card I just copied on cardstock from my old hymns. I picked Crown Him with Many Crowns, but a Christmas hymn is certainly appropriate!
and NOW I see my little backing off my dimensional! grrr

Ok this is the only tree that has a trunk! lol
Betcha didn't even notice!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper?
I tried the triangles going the other way but do not like it. This maybe a happy mistake, because I believe I will try an upside down Christmas tree card!

and of course the Shutter Card! Which I LOVE to make!

Buzy Time of Year!

I can't believe how fast this month is flying by!  I am the master procrastinator, so I kicked it into high gear trying to make some different Christmas cards and ornaments! Yes..I'm the last minute person!

What to do with that little Sizzlits Merry Detail's Snowflake?
Fold in half and make a  tree!

I am loving our Christmas DSP

Bling it up anyway you want! Red rhinestones and pearls would be so cute! I woulda put a star on top but don't have a punch yet!

Craft room disaster!

I don't know how it happens, but after I do a card OR any crafting thing, my craft table ends up looking like a F-5 went through it! Sooo bad!
I haven't taken any pics of my current creations because I don't even have a pretty space to do it in! lol!
Judge for yourself!!!
 My work in progress...


 The disaster...

Soo need to get organized! IKEA??? Here we come! lol!!!
