Circle Circus


Circle Circus is such a fun set to use.  I used the Color Coach and put these colors together:  Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard, Island Idigo and Lucky Limeade.  The pattern paper is from the Regals Collection Paper Stack.  And the Rich Razzleberry button is from the Brights Designer Buttons.  The cute little cake stamp is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes hostess set and I just used markers directly on it.

Warm Fuzzy Jars


I didn't come up with this idea, but wanted to share how mine turned out.  I made these little jars for my primary class.  The lesson was about serving others.  Inside the jars is a bag of 'warm fuzzy's'.  Each time the kids do a kind thing for someone else they can place a fuzzy from the bag to the jar.  Their goal is to fill their jar to the top by serving others.  The idea came from a talk that President Monson gave.

Itty Bitty Bits


This card was inspired by the card on page 143 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog.  I chose the colors from the Bravo Burgundy card of the Color Coach:  River Rock, Baja Breeze, More Mustard and of course Bravo Burgundy.  First I punched out the butterfly and then I stamped the Itty Bitty Bits and used the Itty Bitty Shapes punches to cut the stamped images out.  After that it was just the process of covering up the butterfly with all of those cute little flowers and circles and then adding some Rhinestones here and there.  I also used one of the Bitty Buttons with a More Mustard brad in the center.  The lacey Baja Breeze paper was created with the Lace Ribbon Border punch.  LOVE the color combo!!!

Upsy Daisy


For this card I  used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder on white card stock and ran it through the Big Shot.  Then I inked up the daisy stamp in the Cherry Cobbler ink pad and then kissed it onto the Canvas stamp to give it a little bit of a textured look.  After that I stamped it, moved it a bit to the right and then up a bit and then stamped it again to give it a shadowed look.

Season of Joy


This is one of those versatile Christmas stamp sets.  The flower and swirly can be used for so many things besides just Christmas.  Love that!  For this card I used More Mustard, Garden Green and Early Espresso.  I first inked the flowers in the More Mustard and then used the Early Espresso marker to color the dots in the center.  I wrapped the ribbon around a couple of times and then crossed and tied it in the front.
