STAMPINUP PINS

This is my latest quest making these fun pins.  All three of these are stampinup stamps with various stampinup paper.  If some of you are formular with a wordless book that is how I layered the colors on my first stamp.  I have several horse people this way so had to do a horse one and Taken with Teal is one of my favorate colors and just love the pearls from the pretties kit.  I used crystal effects to glue and a tip, if you get any extra on the plastic of the pin just put some witch hazel on a cuetip and wipe it off. It does a great job.  The last pin I get a kick out of.  In case you cannot read all of it it says " A balanced diet is a chocolate in each hand" and the three little beads at the top are suppose to be mini chocolates.  Sorry they are just wooden beads I did not want the chocolate to melt on your blouse. As if it would get that far in my house!

Here are some more:

Hope you enjoy I had fun coming up with new ideas.  Let me know what you think.  Oh yea, forgot to tell you that the button has a plastic front to it so you can glue things to it.  It snaps open in the back to put a picture inside then closes really easy.  I cut my stamped circle a little smaller so that I could put some DSP as a border around to give it some punch.

Friend Card 020510

Vintage Vogue/Bookmark

What a fun time I had with this set.  I did a class as I was creating this card and had a hard time limiting my ideas.  I just love the new stamp sets from the mini. I combined four different stamp sets on this card so resorted to making it on a large card (half a sheet of card stock folded in half).   The picture on the left is of the pink set which was my original class idea. One of my customers wanted to do her's in the soft suede so the set on the far right shows it done in the soft suede.  The second layer down shows the inside of the cards and below that shows what I stamped on the front left corner of the envelope.  Then on top of the envelope at the bottom is the tag bookmarker that is tucked inside of the small envelope on the front of the card (shown at the top also).

The tag on the front of the card is put on with dimentionals plus the oval and tag on the inside.
