Shiver Me Timbers

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are having a great week so far.  However the end is near.  (which I can't wait)  I do have a busy week end ahead and I am sooo looking forward to it.  

Today's card is using a pirate stamp by Stampendous and my Pink by Design stamps called Pirate's Life.  I did do A LOT of layers in this card.  

I colored the image in with my copic markers and the sentiment "Shiver Me Timbers" was embossed with white embossing powders on a "plank" paper.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll have another sneak peek tomorrow of an upcoming class I have scheduled called "Pocket Card Class".  

Happy Birthday with a little BLING

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday!  Well as happy as you can get with it being a wet dreary day here in New Jersey.  :)  The good news is that I am about to leave work for the day.  The bad news is that I have to be back at 8am in the morning for the cable guy.  (yay me!)  

Here is my card I created last night.  I really love how it turned out.  :)  I used one of the sets from Pink by Designs new release called "Mini Wrappers".  

It is a new release.  Instead of using it in the "mini wrappers" form I decided to use it the way it is in this card.  I had to bling it out with a few rhinestones.  :)  

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)

Note Cards for Packaging

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday was my day to post over at Pink by Design Blog.  

This is what my post was about:

Today's project is using the New Release "GIRLFRIENDS".  This is just 3 of 7 different images/sentiments sets.  

You can find this set by CLICKING HERE   

These cards are 3 x 3 and I punched a whole in the top left of each card and tied a ribbon through the hole.  These would be so adorable tied onto a gift to give to your favorite friend.

I Mix You...

Hi Everyone,

Last night I was able to go into my Stamp/Scrap Room to play around.  All the while watching NCIS.  I love that show.  Some times I think that for as much Law & Order, NCIS, CSI, and Criminal Minds I watch...I should have my Law Degree by now....  :)  

On to today's card.  I made one using one my newest stamps I got in the mail last week from Pink by Design.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Thinking of You

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday.  This week-end just flew by.  I hope this week flies by just as fast.  

This whole week end I wanted to get into my room to play but I never did get around to it.  (Insert Sad Face HERE)  I am seriously going through withdrawals.  

Sunday I ended up picking up (with the help of a few friends) my New (used) Treadmill from my friend who live upstate New York.  I LOVE LOVE her scrap room.  :)  Its just wonderful.   When we finally made it back home I had to re-arrange my Living Room to fit the 6 Ft long treadmill into my small small space.  I didn't like the set up when I was done with it.  But I talked myself into leaving it.  I asked myself "How many visitors do I get?".  Not enough to matter SOOOO It stays as is.  I did get up this morning before work and ran/walked 1 1/2 miles.  I am going to do it again tonight before I go to bed.  Fingers crossed that I lose this yucky weight.  

On to today's card is another one I did at the Stamp-a-Stack last week end.  

All the cards for Stamp-a-stack are all easy easy cards.  Because we are making 10 cards they have to be quick and easy to make so we are not in the class all day and it still keeps the students interested.  :)  I am going to take a picture of how I organize my stamp-a-stack classes so you can get an idea of what it's like.  

The background stamp I uses is by Hero Arts and can be found here:  CLICK HERE

The Sentiment stamps is by Pink By Design and can be found here:  CLICK HERE

Wrapped a piece of white sheer ribbon around the main image and it adds a little bit of elegance to the card.  I LOVE LOVE the monochromatic look with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant color by Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I am hoping to get into my room tonight to do a little crafting.  Fingers Crossed.  :)

Pink By Design is in the House!

Woo Hoo!  I got Pink mail today!  :)  Woo Hoo!  Can't wait to get a little INKY!  :)

Pansy card with a Tutorial

Hi Everyone,  

Happy Friday!  Yesterday was my day to post over at PINK BY DESIGN and I shared the card below with the tutorial.  Hope you enjoy and learn something new.  I can't take credit for this as I had a dear friend show me how to do the pansy's.  :)  

I new I wanted a cluster of Pansy's so I just clustered them all together and then put a few leaves in the mix.  

The sentiment is using Pink by Designs "MY FAVORITE KIND".  This set is currently the Stamp of the Month!  CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS!  (and is Currently my Favorite set!!)

To make these pansy's you will need :  Feel free to click on the pictures to make them bigger.  

• Butterfly punch (or a shape that is similar to one shown.)  
• a few re-inkers
• water brush 
• a water spray bottle.
• Non-Stick Mat
• Black Pen
• Piercer and foam mat
• Heat Gun
• Brads

 1.  Spray your butterflies with water.  The water should puddle on top of the butterflies.  (Your butterflies could be cut out using a punch or a silhouette image you may have.  Just make sure they are solid)

2.  Take your re-inkers and do a little drop on your non stick mat.  A little goes a long way.  If you need more you can always add more.  :)

3.  With your water brush "dip" the tip into the yellow re-inker.  (you can you and combination of colors you choose.  I used yellow for the center and a rose color for my edges.  Pansy's usually have a little white in them, so I left some in the middle. ) 

4.  After you "dip" the tip in the re-inker just smudge it on where you want it to go.  The water will move it around.  The best part is that no 2 pansy's will be alike.  

5.  Add your second color into the mix.  

6.  I wanted my colors to bleed some more so I sprayed it again with water.  

7.  I used my heat gun to head dry my butterflies.  (you can let these sit until they are dry.  I don't have any patience for that.  lol)

8.  Use your black pen to draw the stripes into the flower.  Just quick little strips that lead to a center.  

9.  Use your paper piercer to polk a hole in the center of the butterflies for your brad to go through.

10.  I used my paper piercer, the other end, to roll out my edges of the butterfly.  

11.  This is what it looks like at this point.  Then you layer them up and put your brad in to secure them together.  

12.  Your finished product should look something similar to this.  Remember:  NO 2 Pansy's are alike!  :)

Have a great day everyone!  :)

Thanks & Lots of Info.....

Hi Everyone,  

Holy Cow!  You guys sure do know how to make a girl happy!  ;)

Thank you all for all the nice comments on my blog hop post from this past Friday. Thanks to all the new followers who is now following me here and on my facebook page.  StampAnna Designs.  If you haven't seen it yet I posted a tutorial video over there.  

This past Saturday I went with some friends to a Tea House in Wayne, NJ for High Tea.  We had a great time.  Then afterwards we went over to my dear friends house for an afternoon of stamping and chatting.  This is one of the cards I came up with.  It is kind-of a simple card which every now and again we all need a little "Simple" in our lives.  :)  

All the supplies here are by Stampin' Up except the seam binding ribbon which was purchased at a cute little vintage place in Montclair, NJ called Parcels.  I love the "peachy-orangey" color.  I may have to go and add more to my ever-growing stash of ribbon.
