Stampin' Up! for Jewelry?

Hi there! Happy Saturday before Easter! Are you ready with your Easter baskets and colored eggs? I decided against an Easter Basket for my little Tucker. He's the most adorable little Shit Zu/Yorkie mix you have ever seen, but, Gamma and Gampa made him up an Easter basket, so I decided 1 basket was plenty since he has an entire room full of toys already...No, he's not spoiled at all! Anyway, today I wanted to share with you some of the versatility of our products as I know not all crafters want to stamp necessarily, (although, I have no idea why not lol) so, I thought I would show you a really cute idea to make a girly birthday gift, earrings!

These would also make a cute party favor for a girls birthday party. I just picked up some inexpensive "fish hook earring" blanks in the jewelry making supply area of my local Walmart and some "O" rings to attach the fish hooks to the Party Animal Embellishments and with a pair of needle nose pliers, squeezed the "O" rings closed around both pieces. I then punched a 2" circle and stamped the sentiments in Emerald Envy and Pacific Point. I then punched 2 holes using the hand-held 1/8" punch into the center of the 2" circle and using a craft knife, I cut slits from the hole punches to the outside of the 2" circle so that I could slide the fish hooks down into the holes and slipped the entire piece into a 3" x 4" zip lock baggie. Aren't they just too cute? The sentiments happen to be from the coordinating stamp set, Balloon Adventures which happens to be on the retirement list.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. I thought it was cute for something a little different from our normal cardmaking and occassional 3D project. Let me know what you think as I always enjoy your comments and thank you for stopping by, I truly appreciate it. Happy Stamping, and Happy Easter to you,
Katrina

Balloon Adventure Pop Up Card

Hey guys, long time no see! I completely missed my Tuesday post, oh what a day that was! You know those alarm clocks with dual alarms...yeah, those ones! Well, I accidentally turned on the wrong alarm Monday night and needless to say, Tuesday morning I over-slept! I turned on my husbands "I worked a double shift, got home at 8am and need to get up and back out the door for the next shift" alarm which is set to go off at noon instead of my alarm that is set to go off at 4am. No, I didn't sleep until noon, but I did not get up until 6:45am (I should have been pulling into the hospital parking lot at that hour!)So needless to say, I was all messed up all day. I think the lack of coffee and the high speed in which my day took off, totally threw me off my game. So, as a result, I never made my way to my blog. Hopefully, it is worth the wait as I created this card by casing the new Occasions catalog. I just love this catalog and I love this set. It makes birthday celebrations so fun!

Supplies: 
Stamp Set: Balloon Adventures
Paper: Crushed Curry 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"; Party Animal DSP cut 5 1/4" x 2 1/2"; Whisper White cut 3 3/4" square and another piece cut 8 1/4"  x 5 1/4" scored and folded at 4 1/8" (this is for the inside pop up) Scraps of Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point and Emerald Envy.
Ink: Pacific Point; Crushed Curry; Tangerine Tango; Emerald Envy
Misc: Emerald Envy 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits; Big Shot; Stampin' Dimensionals; Fast Fuse

Directions:
Adhere the DSP to the center of the card base, stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White 3 3/4" square with Pacific Point ink, add the party confetti image using Crushed Curry to the bottom of the piece and stamp the balloon and string using the Tangerine Tango. Using the Striped Balloon thinlit, run a scrap piece of Tangerine Tango through the Big Shot and adhere this piece over the stamped Balloon image. Wrap the card base with the Emerald Envy Taffeta Ribbon and adhere the Stamped piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.
For the inside, Take the folded Whisper White piece and open it up, align the Balloon pop up thinlit arrow up on the fold mark and run through the Big Shot. This will create the pop up. Now, stamp the balloons lining up the stamp to the die cut images. I did Emerald Envy, Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point. Then cut a polka dot and a stripped balloon from scraps of Emerald Envy and Pacific Point cardstock and adhere them to the corresponding balloon. Stamp the banner and sentiment with Tangerine Tango ink. Adhere this piece to the inside of the card and attach the 2 1/8" square DSP pieces to the bottom of each Whisper White panel as shown in the photo below.
I hope you have enjoyed this card. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I hope you all have a great day.
Happy Stamping,
Katrina

Balloon Adventures

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by. Today, I am using the brand new set, Balloon Adventures which is part of an entire suite of product. Awesome product at that...just too cute for words really. I decided to use this set because today just so happens to be my birthday. And to celebrate with you, I am hosting a little give away here on my blog. All you have to do to gain entry into the drawing is leave a comment below! Easy huh? I am giving away a set of the brand new Party Animal Embellishments! I added them to the product links below. They are part of the Balloon Adventure Suite and they are just so cute. I heard another demo refer to them as card jewelry and that is so true, that is exactly what they are. I just love them!
Measurements Pacific Point cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4" and 2 1/4"x 3 1/4"
Whisper White cut 5 1/4" x 4" and 2" x 3" and scrap for the sentiment
Party Animal DSP cut 3 3/4" x 2"

Directions: Begin by adhering the DSP to the bottom of the larger Whisper White panel using Fast Fuse. Then wrap the Taffeta ribbon around this piece and tie a bow to the left. Then adhere the entire panel down to the Pacific Point card base. Using the Balloon Bouquet punch, punch an Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry and Pacific Point balloon. Add "shine" with the White chalk marker. Next, stamp the strings onto the smaller Whisper White piece and adhere the balloons, I adhered the Emerald Envy and the Crushed Curry balloons down flat with Fast Fuse and added a Stampin' Dimensional to the Pacific Point balloon. I then stamped the sentiment onto a piece of scrap Whisper White with Pacific Point ink and punched it out using the Duet Banner punch. and popped it up on a couple of  Dimensionals. I adhered this piece to the smaller Pacific Point piece using Fast Fuse then using Stampin' Dimensionals I added that to the center of the card base. 
Quick and easy. I hope you enjoyed today's card. And don't forget, to get an entry into the drawing for the card jewelry, leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Again, thanks so much for stopping by to hang out with me.I truly appreciate you.
Happy Stamping,
