Razzle Window Card

I'm baaack! Sorry for the long silence, I've been too busy taking care of *life* stuff, but I'm back now! So on to the fun stuff!

I love this new designer paper called Razzleberry Lemonade and the new Movers & Shapers dies!



This is a card I made for my friend and TAC demonstrator Betti! Hi Betti!!!

In the new catalog, Stampin Up has introduced 4 more magnetic shapes to use with the Movers & Shapers die in your Big Shot machine.



You simply run your cardstock through the Big Shot machine and choose which die window you want to use with your card. Since the dies are magnetic you can place the *window* anywhere you want!



In the photo above you can see how I used the NEW Modern Label punch to punch out and pop up this sentiment so that it can be seen on the front of card through the window.

The 4 different shapes each match with a corresponding hand punch so that the shape can *pop out* through the same shaped *window*.
The 4 shapes are:
1) oval scallop
2) NEW modern label
3) heart
4) star



You can see in this side view how it's done. Thanks for stopping by!

Sneak Peak at the spicy new In Colors for 2009-2010

Here's a sneak peak at some of the new In Colors that will be available for purchase on July 1st! Aren't they so beautiful and rich? I thought the colors would make a perfect match with the *True Friend* set, since both this set and the new In Colors remind me a little of India. (I was fortunate to be able to visit there when I was 17!) One of the colors is called *Crushed Curry*. Doesn't it make your mouth water for Indian food?

Tomorrow I'll have another post showing all the new In Colors!

Techniques used: heat embossing, stamping with markers

~CATS~ at Heart & Soul Rubber Stamp Co!

Meeeooooowwwwww!  Halllloooo!  It's fun and funky kitty time over at Heart & Soul Rubber Stamp Co.!

Isn't this the fun-kiest cat face stamp you've ever seen?!  It's one of the new releases that Sue has in the *New for 2009* catalog supplement! 

This little kitty is bloomin' out of control!  Look at her grow!  lol!!!! Hee hee! 

When I was thinking of different ways to use this cat face I kept thinking that it should go along with a body so here is my first attempt at a cat body!  I brayered the body with Stampin' Up's! Basic Grey classic ink pad, and colored the tip of the tail with a white gel pen.  The face was colored with Stampin' Up's! Watercolor wonder crayons and markers. There are two sizes of this stamp available in large and small:  1577-little whiskers and 1821-big whiskers.

There are also two brand new stamp sentiments that go along with this kitty face: *13119-bless your whiskers* as shown on the card and *11025-what's meww* which reads "What's Meww With You?" in the same font. Check out all the new stamps here!

Frankie Improved!

So here he is, the new improved Frankie!


This time I left out the googlie eyes and added two neck screws. I also used the Stampin Up tab punch for the nose and cut his hair by hand. I also used Stampin' Up's Garden Green paper instead of Kiwi Kiss. I hope you like it!

Frankie Halloween Box

OK, I think my Frankenstein box/treat bag turned out kind of wierd. He does not look at all like the ones I cased on splitcoast! Funny! I think he looks wierd because I used googlie eyes instead of punches and I shaded the eyelids and nose too much. His hair looks wierd too. Anyhows, it was my first one, so I should be excused!

Here are links to some really great ones: Click here. And here for different ones.
