Stamping Sunday

Hello! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! I have a stamping project to share with you today. This is a mini album created with the gorgeous new Amber Road line by Pink Paislee! I used the Paislee Postcards, Punch Outs die cuts, Bella Brads, Amber Road papers and the Amber Road Impressions stamp set that comes with this line!First, I cut the Postcards apart and stacked them together, then punched 2 holes and tied them together with a piece of fabric. (So with one piece of paper, you have your mini album base!) I stamped the border stamp on the ends of the fabric ribbon. StazOn ink works well for this.

On the front cover, I stamped the white flourish image and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The harvest stamp is a fabric covered button and I'd like to show you how I made this...Please visit the Pink Paislee blog to see how to create these fabric covered buttons, the rest of the inside pages, and more stamping ideas inside the mini album.

More holiday goodies...

I'm back with more Christmas goodies to show you! Here are some more of the things I created for Creative Cafe and Accucut with their new scrapbooking products coming out at the Craft and Hobby show this week...

This die cut paper that is shaped on the bottom of the Good Stuff page is flocked and is so BEAU-tiful!! I also really adore the white glittered paper with the music notes under the glitter. The glitter doesn't flake at all when you cut it. It was hard to photograph, but I think you can see it a little bit. I used the rub ons right over the glitter paper and stitched some dangling ornaments.
Next, a mini album with photos of us decorating our tree last year. I used the star die cuts to mist over on the front cover. Here are just a few inside peeks. To see the rest of the pages, click HERE.
The red paper below is a new glittery die cut paper by Creative Cafe! The trees and stars are done with new Accucut dies. I love each year when the Santa hat comes out and we take silly pics!
These are pics of Kati when she experienced her first candy cane! She sat off to the side when we were decorating the tree one year and devoured that whole, sticky thing...notice it running down her chin! (sorry about the terrible photo of the page) The Santas are foiled and are shiny.
I've been busy getting my home ready for my parents to come visit! They are coming in 2 weeks and I'm so excited! I haven't seen them for a year. So I told Taylor we could get her a new bedspread for her bed and redo her room. We've been busy rearranging and painting, she has a spiffy new desk and bright, fun colors now! No more pastels. I would take photos, but we are going to surprise grandma when she comes, so we'll have to wait on the photos. ha

Well, I'm off to do more painting. Yesterday I pressure washed the deck and cleaned out the van while the girls went to grandma's to swim for the day. Glad to get that done. Tomorrow I'll try to get the stain put on the deck, it needs it so badly. Waiting for it to stop raining. It's raining today, so we are still in our jammies and have been vegging out. I better get going and get something done! Feeling lazy today! =)

P.S. Someone had asked where I purchased the jingle bell tree. It came from a discount furniture store here called "Huck Finn Warehouse".

Shabby goodness...

Have you seen the new Pink Paislee lines? Shabby, yet colorful and so gorgeous. Here are some cards and things I made with the new Pink Paislee line called Mistletoe for the show at CHA this week. I am seriously in love with all the texture these papers have. Makes creating so easy!



This HoHoHo card has a tag on the front that opens...inside says, "Santa is coming!"

Here I cut the edge off of the round paper and stitched pieces of it onto my tree. The little star at the top is a stamp from the collection. I cut the backs off of the brads and attached them with glue dots, so they wouldn't show through on the inside of the card.
I found this little metal tree at a discount furniture store and added some tags, rub ons and clear stickers, along with some tiny holiday photos. I actually added more to it after these photos were taken.
I sure wish I could have gone to CHA and experienced all of the beautiful projects everyone has made. Maybe one of these days! Thanks for stopping by and if you are here for the Dream Street blog hop, please see the post below. I'll be back with MORE!
Enjoy your day,
