Stamps for Sale

I have been hording a little too long. My office is getting taken over with Stampin' Up product that is retired. With the help of a computer expert Heather, I figured out how to post my stamps for sale on the right side of my blog. There are photos and everything. This is just the beginning. Now I just need to take photos of all the retired product and get them posted, so be on the lookout more to come, but this should get you started. Just a friendly reminder, my website was changed to www.wearethestampions.stampinup.net. I am in the midst of changing everything to We are the Stampions.
Purchase $50.00 worth of product and you will receive a free stamp set, punch or paper. Contact me for more details. Let's Stamp Soon!

Thank You's for Basketball Coach

My 3 year old son plays basketball and the coaches all volunteer (as they do with most sports). The season came to an end yesterday so I made the cards for coaches. I had fun playing with the Just Basketball stamp set.
To make the basketballs look like they were going in the hoop I just stamped off the ink a couple times to give it a lighter feel. I used the 1 1/4 circle punch (which works perfectly) to punch out the basketballs and then added them on with a stampin dimensional.
I used the new punches Scallop Trim Corner (new in Mini-Occasions Catalog $9.95) and Scallop Trim Border Punch (which you get free with a $50.00 order out of the sale-a-bration catalog) to give the square some texture. Then I used all the stamps in the Just Basketball stamp set to decorate the rest of the card.
This is my son making a shot, not bad for 3 years old. I love catching him in action. Please contact me today for your Stampin Up products.

Let's Make Valentine's Goodies!

Please join me Wednesday, February 3, 2010 6:30pm to 8:30pm to make Valentine's Goodies. There will be cards, scrapbook pages, and all kinds of 3-D Items. I hope you can join me for some Stampin' Fun! Please let me know you are coming, limited seating available and I want to make sure I have enough supplies. See you Wednesday.

Valentine's Card

I think this card is perfect for Valentine's Day. This card was made using the Something Sweet stamp set in the mini occasions catalog (Wood Mounted 117688 or Clear Mounted 118589). The hearts in the middle were punched out using the Small Heart Punch (117193).

Fox 12 Better Show Love Bug

To make the Love Bug you will need a 1 inch by 12 inch piece of card stock. You will then score at 1/2 inch and from there you will score 1 inch increments, leaving you with 1/2 inch at the end. You will use a hole punch (I used a crop-a-dile, so I could punch all the holes at once) and punch a hole in the center of of the 1 inch pieces so they match up. Then stick it on a pencil, making the 1/2 inch piece hang off the eraser. Then punch a circle (I used a 1 3/8 circle punch - if you need one ask me how to order one today) and put googly eyes on and write in the nose and mouth. Then put the antennas on(I used the Tulipe Die from the Big Shot) and put the head on with a Stampin Dimensional. I added a few hearts and you have a Love Bug.
