Another {Life} with Stephanie Video

Hello, My Friends,

As the new year is fast approaching, I realized I haven't shared this {Life} video with you.

Now, keep in mind, the {Life} videos are for die hard crazy people (like me!) only.  They have nothing to do with stamping.  Just the crazy things in my {Life}.  ;)

It's Over!

Hello, My Friends!

Well, I can't believe it.  It's over.....it's done....our travel schedule for this year is finished!  Wowsers!

I cannot tell you how incredibly blessed I feel to have traveled around the world sharing stamping, scrapbooking and stories with you all.  :)

I've traveled literally all over the world.  Edmonton and Toronto Canada, Puerto Rico, Texas, Missouri, Washington, Massachusetts, Australia,  Chicago, Tennessee, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Utah, and South Africa.

What an amazing journey.  I've learned so much about other cultures and about myself.  I honestly think I've grown up a little, too.  Traveling by yourself makes you rely on yourself and when you are in another country, that can get a little scary.  BUT, I DID IT.  :)


My next trip is scheduled for Jan. 12.  I have about 8 weeks to catch up on life.  ;)

I have a fun video to share with you today.  It's "Your Questions....Answered!"  (I love these segments!)

Awesome Card and...

Hello, My Friends!


Here's a great card I found in our Gallery.... It's by Liz T.



 Here's some notes by Liz:

I used the large fancy label die to cut the cards base then used the next size die for the background paper. I embellished with a stamps4fancy label stamp and used a Marvy marker to color and stamp. I then used the die set to cut it out.  


Stamp Sets Used: monogram2build, stamps4fancylabels

Dies Used:  Sizzix Fancy Label Framelits Dies

Want to know the funny thing?!?  Ken and I are flying in on different planes!  (and flying home on different planes!)  Before MO, I'll be in Salt Lake City, Utah for the Discovering Possibilities Event by Oh My Crafts (for Sizzix).  I'll leave home on Wednesday, teach all day Thursday and then I fly to MO that night.

Ken leaves So Ca Thursday morning and will set up our booth (by himself....  :|  (that's me holding my breath!)  ;)

Happy 11th!!!!

Hello, My Friends!

Did you know, that every month, on the 11th, we release new stamp sets?!?  Why the 11th?  Well, honestly, no real good reason.

Haha....

Actually, on the 7th of the month, we release the sets only to our Club Members.  They get to see the sets first and have a few days to order them before the general public.  Just a little extra perk for our Club Members.  So, that's the 7th.

I then had to figure out a day to release the stamp sets to everyone.  I figured, since I {Love} 7-11 so much, I should choose the 11th.  That way, I would remember the days, and maybe customers would, too.  ;)



Ok, ok, I need to stop 'chatting' and show you the video!  Here it is!





Can't see the video? Click Here!



 There are TONS of great cards in the Gallery.  But here are a few of my favorites, using the search4words, Christmas4Him, wreath4us and stamps4fancylabel stamp sets.  :)

Framelits+Halloween=One Incredible Banner!

Hello, My Friends!


When my friend, Gretchen Schmidt sent me this project, I fell in love.  The surprising thing?!?  There's no stamping!  {Gasp!}

Why did I fall in love?  Because she used my new Sizzix Framelits Dies exactly how I intended them to be used.  It was a thrill to see them used by someone else.  ;)





Directions: Use a Scallop Pennant die to cut 14 pieces out of black. Use various pieces of patterned paper and a Plain Pennant to cut 14 pieces. Make sure the Plain Pennant is slightly smaller than the Scallop Pennant. Glue pieces together. Add a hole to each upper corner of your pendants. Use the Butterfly Kisses font with black felt to create “Happy Halloween.” Glue a letter onto each pennant. Use embroidery floss to tie pennants together adding extra on the left and right sides to hang. Use the Spider and Spider Web Pop-Up Die to cut 5 spider webs and 7 spiders out of black cardstock. Glue the webs in various places behind the pennant making sure to glue down onto only one. Glue the spiders onto the front sides of the pennants in various places, again making sure to only glue down onto one pennant. By gluing the elements to only one pennant, you will ensure that the banner will move easily.
 
Supplies:
 
Other:
Sizzix Spider and Spider Web Pop-Up Dies, Sizzix Butterfly Kisses Alphabet Dies, patterned papers – Spooky Night, The Book Crew, Cute Cuts, Full Moon, Itsy Bitsy Spider (Too Cute to Spook, Bella Blvd), black felt, black cardstock (American Crafts), small hole punch, black embroidery floss.
 
Gretchen, You Rock!
Hugs,
Stephanie

Trick-or-Treat Card

Hello, My Friends!

My good friend Gretchen Schmidt, sent me this great card! {She is so awesome to share with us!}  This card is one of my favorites for two reasons.

1.  It has a POP UP!  ;)

2.  It has STAMPS!  :)


Pop ups and stamping go so well together!  ;)


Directions -
Create a 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” card base out of kraft cardstock, fold in half to create your card. Cut a second card front that is 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”. Stamp spider webs on the card front and on the inside of the card base.
Outside: Stamp three pumpkins onto cream cardstock. Cut out each into a square. Glue pumpkins onto blue patterned paper, hand cut out each into a square shape. Glue down all three to a piece of black cardstock and cut it out into a rectangle shape as shown in example. Cut a larger pieces of Halloween themed patterned paper and glue to card front. Tie a ribbon around the card front and set it aside. When the inside of your card is complete, glue the card front onto the outside of the card base.
Inside: Use your Spider and Spiderweb die to create the spiderweb and cut two spiders. Add spiderweb to the inside of your card base following package directions. Secure the web portion that attaches to the top of your card with a brad. Glue down your two spiders to the web. Stamp sentiment and pumpkin as shown. 
Other: 
kraft cardstock (Bazzill) black cardstock (American Crafts), cream cardstock, Mischievous papers (My Mind’s Eye), black pen, Wild Honey Distress Ink (Ranger), ribbon, brad.
Thanks so much, Gretchen!
Hugs,
