I used the "Baby Wipe" technique to color leaves as if they're changing for the season.&nbsp; I created an ink pad by applying More Mustard (101962) and Cajun Craze (119790) reinkers to a baby wipe.&nbsp; I stamped my image from Gently Falling (123804 clear, 123802 wood) onto the baby wipe to pick up the mixed colors, then I stamped the image onto Very Vanilla Cardstock (101650).&nbsp; I stamped the leaf outline in Early Espresso (119670)&nbsp;as well as the saying from Curly Cute&nbsp;(120510 clear, 117014 wood).&nbsp; I tied Very Vanilla (119960)&nbsp;and Early Espresso (119959)&nbsp;taffeta ribbon for a little something extra.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none;

I wound the Old Olive cardstock with Twine (100982) and mounted it all onto a Very Vanilla (101650) cardstock base.&nbsp; Very quick and easy!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none;

This was one of those cards. I really love it. I used the Faux Suede technique for the leave in the back. For the front leaves, I colored directly onto the stamp using the Watercolor Wonder crayons. I spritzed the stamp with water before stamping it to paper. I love the new Build a Blossom Punch, too! I used a sentiment from the Sale-a-Bration set So Happy For You. I used a marker to color only the words "So Happy." I wanted this card to be versatile.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ldn2Y4G3wM/TWcqXV3vrYI/AAAAAAAABOA/_WyVsMi6Aks/s1600/Build%2Ba%2BBlossom-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ldn2Y4G3wM/TWcqXV3vrYI/AAAAAAAABOA/_WyVsMi6Aks/s320/Build%2Ba%2BBlossom-001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577473244017962370" /></a><br /><br />So Happy For You stamp set: clear #123260, wood #123245<br />Build a Blossom stamp set: clear #121994, wood #121923<br />Blossom Petals Punch #121808<br />Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #121809<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-8478461264233958203?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-41029616692198669452011-02-24T20:39:00.002-07:002011-02-24T20:49:59.203-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gHxw5ccy8_c/TWckrphiHwI/AAAAAAAABNo/OZXTI427jWg/s1600/Christmas%2BFabric-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gHxw5ccy8_c/TWckrphiHwI/AAAAAAAABNo/OZXTI427jWg/s320/Christmas%2BFabric-001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577466995821125378" /></a><br /><br />Contempo Christmas stamp set: clear #120594, wood #118734<br />Northern Flurry, Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #120902<br />Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric #121715<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-4102961669219866945?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-27582750703270075212011-02-22T15:20:00.003-07:002011-02-22T15:26:58.216-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8oDYwN9amBQ/TWQ28KxGcXI/AAAAAAAABM4/Rp8b66r3J9o/s1600/Three%2BCupcake%2BCard-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8oDYwN9amBQ/TWQ28KxGcXI/AAAAAAAABM4/Rp8b66r3J9o/s320/Three%2BCupcake%2BCard-001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576642645901865330" /></a><br /><br />We made this cute card for one of my monthly Hostess Clubs.

I haven't posted it, because I knew I was going to give it to my sweetie for Valentine's Day. There is a lot going on with this card, so I knew I'd be giving it to someone extra special. This was my first time using the Build a Brads, and I know I will be using them a lot more! They are so easy to use! This was also the first time I had used my Pinking Hearts Corner Punch, even though I've had it since it first came available.

I needed something that would be easy to mass produce (I think I made around 60), but it also needed to be something I would be proud to share with my fellow demonstrators. Of course, I immediately thought to look at the Fall-to-Layout sketches over as Clean and Simple Stamping. As soon as I saw the FTL 99 sketch, I knew exactly which set I wanted to use. You can see the sketch <a href="http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/2010/07/ninety-nine.html">HERE</a>.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501679643449020674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TFnkfI_G0QI/AAAAAAAABIs/DPxcmFc8vkY/s320/Watermark+Template+Portrait-001.jpg" border="0" /> <p>I used the new Aviary stamp set from the Idea Book &amp; Catalog. I am not usually much of a bird person, but I fell in love with this set when I saw it. The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock. The scalloped border was punched using the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch and Concord Crush card stock. I stamped the birdcage image using Concord Crush, the bird is Pear Pizzazz, and the "Thanks" is Marina Mist with the Perfect Punches stamp set. I love the Perfect Punches set, because every stamp coordinates with one of our fabulous punches! For this sentiment, I used the Scallop Oval Punch. Be sure to let me know what you think of my project - I love reading the comments!</p>I am so glad I participated in the general swapping, because I received some beautiful cards and projects in return.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TE9VVkKrq7I/AAAAAAAABIA/2XzvjzyklGU/s1600/IMG_2202.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498707499016760242" style="WIDTH: 200px;

This year, I participated in some organized swaps (set number of people + a theme) and also some random swapping. My sweetie patiently took pictures of all that I brought home over the 4 days of Convention. I'm going to share the cards from a Christmas Card swap. I actually participated in two groups from this swap, but I somehow didn't keep one of my own. It actually wasn't my favorite card that I've ever made, so maybe it is good it is gone! :)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498365099344728642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TE4d7R_ZEkI/AAAAAAAABEQ/c-uuQc-meYU/s320/Dasher+Swap.JPG" border="0" />I do like this card. I used the Dasher stamp set, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso cardstock, Real Red Satin Ribbon, the Perfect Polka-Dots Embossing Folder with the Big Shot and one of the new Basic Pearls on the tip of cute Dasher's nose. I was happy with the result of this card. In fact, I tweeked it a little and we made a similar one in my July Stamp Camp (pictures to come in a later post - yes, I'm behind).<br /><br />Here are the swaps from the other creative ladies! If you see your card here, please let me know and I'll link it to your blog.

Between new catalog workshops, Stamp Camp, a bike trip from Seattle to Portland, and Stampin' UP! Convention 2010, I haven't posted to my blog all month! I have so much catching up to do. I definitely need to post the pics from Stamp Camp and the projects I've been doing, but that will have to wait!<br /><br />Stampin' UP! Convention began last Wednesday with check-in, some fabulous optional classes, and my absolute favorite: Memento Mall. Memento Mall is a reason in itself to become a demonstrator if you aren't already! Past demonstrators can sign up again for only $35!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498046062727479202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz7w5-bP6I/AAAAAAAABBg/RZfOvNpvhhg/s320/Check+In+Bag+and+Stamps.JPG" border="0" />Here is a picture of the goodies we received at check-in. This bag is so bright and cheerful! It was fun to see all the demonstrators walking around the Convention Center and the surrounding streets carrying these cute bags! We received three stamp sets and a wheel, too! We were able to choose from wood-mount or clear-mount for our sets. I love the sets! We received Just Believe and So Many Thanks from the current IB&amp;C and Paisley Prints and the Paisley Party Wheel from the upcoming Holiday Mini 2010. I'll share the Make-n-Takes using these sets in a later post.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498046576540270322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz8O0E8PvI/AAAAAAAABBw/mdfMauki0sk/s320/Greenhouse+Gala+Tote.JPG" border="0" />I absolutely love this Greenhouse Gala tote available in the Memento Mall! The Greenhouse Gala DSP is definitely a favorite in the new catalog, so I am thrilled they made this great tote using the same print. I'm so excited to take it to my next workshop or Stamp Camp!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498046572922416322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz8OmmYLMI/AAAAAAAABBo/BM9sWu9EMvk/s320/Greenhouse+Gala+Computer+Bag.JPG" border="0" /> Of course, I had to get the matching laptop bag!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498047035239005010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz8pg3Pe1I/AAAAAAAABB4/d05nAFGJBPI/s320/Memento+Mall+1.JPG" border="0" />I love the designs of the new reusable shopping bags! I also bought the new DSP sampler and the new punch sampler. I love having access to those tools! I also had to get these cute rulers, too. The stamp highlights the Stampin' UP! motto of "Share What You Love." So fitting!<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498047041552495298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz8p4YfssI/AAAAAAAABCA/C3Z7mg_FYTM/s320/Memento+Mall+2.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>I didn't buy any of the Stampin' UP! clothing last year at Convention, and I have totally regretted it all year. To make up for last year, I bought two darling shirts this year!</div><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498044865744303090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TEz6rO3Zc_I/AAAAAAAABAw/P6aJNOidSfg/s320/Memento+Mall+3.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>I love these cute little trash bags! I won the Playground DSP at one of the booths. Of course, I had to get a new ribbon sampler since so many of the ribbons changed with the current catalog.</div><br /><div>Another favorite experience of Convention is looking at all the amazing project on the display boards. I took soooo many pictures of the display boards, so I am going to spread them out over the next few posts. Don't worry: I'll be sure to post them all! These first ones are the Artisan Award Winners. I really should have made sure their names were all with the pictures... but I didn't. These ladies did beautiful work this year!<br /></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TE0DR4nKdPI/AAAAAAAABEI/A7USJHD6fBA/s1600/Artisan+Awards+17.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498054325878551794" style="WIDTH: 150px;

I love seeing what other demos create and the color combinations they choose. The following card comes from one of those swaps. I changed up the colors and the dimensions a bit, but otherwise this is a CASE (copy and share everything) of someone else's work. Unfortunately, this creative demo didn't sign the card, so I can't give credit. If this happens to be yours, please let me know and I'll give you credit.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486120652389232674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCKdqqiYMCI/AAAAAAAAA_o/U6RPKZ7RCXg/s320/Daisy+Thank+You.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p> </p><p>Most of the items I used are on the Last Chance list and are only available until the end of the month. The base of the card, the scallop oval, and the inking around the petals is Dusty Durango, one of this year's In Colors. I used Chocolate Chip for the ink and the circle in the center of the flower. The stem is Close to Cocoa cardstock. I ran the Crushed Curry layer through the Big Shot and the polka-dot embossing folder. The stamped sentiment is from Short and Sweet. The flower is the Daisy Die for the Big Shot. I finished the card by tying a piece of Dusty Durango polka dot ribbon across the front layers.

Idea Book and Catalog! When SU first announced they were going to give this to all demonstrators for free if we placed a preorder for the new Color Kit, I knew I had to have it. At the time, I had no idea what I'd do with it, but I could see the potential and knew I'd see amazing works of art by all the talented crafters out there. Man, I have not been disappointed! In fact, I have seen so many beautiful cards made with this set that I was a little intimidated! Finally, I realized tonight that I just had to play with it.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820056792371394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCGMRsrSkMI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/DTDYKSKUoB8/s320/Because+I+Care+FTL+95.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />I made this card for the Fall-to-Layout 95 challenge over at <a href="http://www.cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/">http://www.cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/</a>. I always love the layouts they put out for our inspiration. I always think the "simple" means something you could quickly and easily reproduce. I'll admit, with the trimming of the hydrangea and stem, this probably wouldn't be considered too simple; however, the layout is definitely simple. I am actually really happy how this card turned out.<br /><br /><br />This card is filled with Sneak Peeks! The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock, formerly Kraft. I stamped the hydrangea in Night of Navy ink on Marina Mist cardstock - one of the new Core Colors. The petal is Old Olive stamped on Pear Pizzazz - one of the In Colors for 2010-2011. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy Classic ink on Whisper White cardstock, and layered it on Night of Navy cardstock. The Pear Pizzazz paper layer was trimmed with the Scallop Border Punch. I layered Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon with the new Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. I popped up the hydrangea and the stem using dimensionals.<br /><br /><br />I would love to hear what you think of this card!<br /><br /><br />Don't forget...

These are the first kids in this group of friends, so we're all really excited for them. My friend Carrie and I are throwing them a co-ed shower next month. Of course, store-bought invitations would never do! Sarah came over this weekend to help me with them. I think they turned out really cute!</div><div> </div><div>We printed all the invitation information on the inside, along with a cute poem about twins someone had given to her. The base is So Saffron cardstock, layered with a mat of Whisper White cardstock. The Pretty in Pink polka-dot paper is from the Sweet Pea paper pack from the Occasions Mini catalog this last spring. The So Saffron DSP is currently on the Last Chance list. The cute pink gingham ribbon can be purchased from the Clearance Rack! The darling images and saying are from the Baby Bundles stamp set. This set can be purchased on July 1, since it is a set from the new Idea Book and Catalog. All images were colored with Stampin' UP! markers.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482863348720474178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TBcLKox-GEI/AAAAAAAAA6g/xscN7G5hPSE/s320/Baby+Bundle+1.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p>It is difficult to tell from this photo, but the scallop circle is punched through the front of the card. The Rose Red scallop is actually glued to the inside of the card. The cute saying can be read whether the card is opened or closed.</p><p>What do you think of this baby shower invitation?</p><p>Don't forget...

What a fun group! I'm excited to spend time with these guys (yes, we have two guys in our group!) and gals every month! I am so fortunate to be part of an organization which lets me do something I love and meet incredible people while I do it!</div><br /><div></div><div>For our June Camp, we made 4 projects: a Father's Day card, a mulit-use card, and a card and treat box set using the Big Shot.</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482779938252579826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 295px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TBa_Tgku4_I/AAAAAAAAA5w/efe1C7xOfZE/s320/Big+Shot+Box+and+Card.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div>I love using the Big Shot. It took me awhile before I finally broke down and bought it, but now I use it almost every time I'm doing some crafting! It cuts down on my prep time and adds beautiful details. The Matchbox die holds two Ghiradelli chocolate squares, perfectly! The Big Shot was used on the card with the Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder. Both projects used Rose Red cardstock. The card has an image from the Oval All stamp set in Basic Black colored with a Rose Red marker. The box used Rose Red DSP, which is available right now on the Clearance Rack for $3.99! We wrapped the boxes in Whisper White Satin Ribbon and Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon. The flower was made by punching 8 layers of vellum with the Scallop Circle Punch, crumbling them up, then sponging the sides with Rose Red ink.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482780806045890690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TBbAGBWx-II/AAAAAAAAA54/oFlOgvD8-PA/s320/Island+Oasis+Wish+Big.JPG" border="0" />The details for this card using items from the Summer Mini Catalog can be viewed <a href="http://a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com/2010/05/clean-and-simple-challenge-ftl-91.html">at this post</a>.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482779934402747826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TBa_TSO3HbI/AAAAAAAAA5o/b6zJRTYDkRE/s320/Holiday+Blitz+Dear+Dad.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><br /><p>With Father's Day just under a week away, of course we had to make a Father's Day card! We used the Holiday Blitz stamp set. This set is only available until the end of this month. It has a great array of stamps - I think it is one for everyone's collection! We layered Night of Navy cardstock with Bermuda Bay DSP and stamped the ties in matching colors. We punched out "Thank You" with the Designer Label punch and the Horizontal Slot Punch (only available until the end of this month) and ran a strip of Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon through the slots.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482780836086444098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TBbAHxRAcEI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/elOszGwl5UY/s320/June+Kathy+and+Pam.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>I forgot to take pictures while they were working on their projects, and remembered after almost everyone finished.

However, I have had camera problems and haven't been able to take a decent picture until today. I don't get to participate in challenges as often as I'd like because my schedule is pretty unpredictable, but I love them when I do!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476830975337721250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TAGcwSvcbaI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/pj3pUl6z8ns/s320/Island+Oasis+Wish+Big.JPG" border="0" />I love the bright colors in this paper!

I'm pleased with the way it turned out, but I'm sure I'll end up changing out my inserts soon. I'm hoping Stampin' UP! will come out with some other small stamps to fit inside these smaller charms.<br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473362744643943250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_VKaslb-1I/AAAAAAAAA4Q/P5POu_6xIdY/s320/Simply+Adorned+Bracelet.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div>For 3 of the 4 inserts, I used stamps from the Itty Bitty Bits stamp in the Summer Mini. You can see this stamp set by clicking on the link at the right side of the screen. If you don't have a copy of the new Summer Mini catalog, you can get one from your demonstator. If you don't have a demonstator, send me a message, and I'll happily get one out to you. The square charm with the pink flower is from the Greenhouse Garden set.</div><div> <br />The Itty Bitty Bits stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Itty Bitty Punches. I was hoping they would fit perfectly in the circle charm, but the punch is a little too small. However, I layered the circle images on a piece of colored cardstock punched using the 1/2" Circle Punch.</div><div><br />Stampin' Supplies:</div><div>Stamps: Itty Bitty Bits stamp set WM #117056, CM #120060, Greenhouse Garden #113824</div><div>Punches: Itty Bitty Punch Shapes Pack #118309, 1/2" Circle Punch #104390</div><div>Simply Adorned Bracelet #117342</div><div>Simply Adorned 5/8" Circle Charm #117349</div><div>Simply Adorned 5/8" Square Charm#118476</div><br />If you are looking for a Stampin' UP! demonstrator in Salt Lake City, Utah or the surrounding area, please contact me!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-242482059087139278?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-80881923881107322892010-05-19T06:49:00.004-06:002010-05-29T17:17:42.819-06:00Here is the second part to that birthday gift I forgot to give! Don't worry, she finally has her very belated gift! I have been wearing my Simply Adorned necklace for quite awhile now, and I love being able to change it up to match my mood and outfits!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472065857111872882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_Cu56CyVXI/AAAAAAAAA3w/sFK2Thl3MDA/s320/Simply+Adorned+Inserts.JPG" border="0" /><br />Here is a shot of my necklace and my inserts so far. I gave Darla the same necklace and set. I wear my charm on the 34" necklace and wrap it around my neck twice. I gave her the 24" necklace, because I think she'd prefer to let it hang longer.<br /><br />Stampin' Supplies:<br />Simply Adorned 1" x 1-1/4" Rectangle Charm #116798<br />Simply Adorned Chain 34" #116853<br />Simply Adorned Chain 24" #116800<br /><br />I used a variety of stamps and colors. Some of the colors I can identify, some I can't quite remember. But, they're here for inspiration! The stamps I used are:<br />Charming #116519<br />Great Friend #113792<br />Pocket Silhouettes #111672<br />Greenhouse Garden #113824<br />Awash with Flowers CM #120549 WM #117062<br />Tiny Tags CM #118592 WM #118091<br /><br />More Simply Adorned coming tomorrow!

I stamped the Upsy Daisy stamp in Sahara Sand ink onto Sahara Sand paper for the tone-on-tone image. I used my Big Shot and the Top Note Die on top of a double mat of Whisper White and Sahara Sand. The "Fabulous Friend" stamp is from the Oval All stamp set. I punched it out using the Large Oval Punch and layered in on a piece of Cameo Coral punched with the Scallop Oval Punch.<br /><br /><br />Stampin' Supplies:<br />Stamps: Oval All #113790, Upsy Daisy #111710<br />Ink: Sahara Sand Classic Ink Pad #, Cameo Coral Stampin' Write Marker #100074<br />Paper: Whisper White cardstock #100730, Sahara Sand cardstock #195328, Sahara Sand DSP (Hostess Level 1)<br />Accessories: Whisper White Satin Ribbon #114616.

Better late than never, right? Here is the card I made:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_Ck7rE3iEI/AAAAAAAAA3o/UScWraj0CVg/s1600/Happy+Moments+Happy+Birthday.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472054892337530946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_Ck7rE3iEI/AAAAAAAAA3o/UScWraj0CVg/s320/Happy+Moments+Happy+Birthday.JPG" border="0" /></a> The stamp set was from Sale-a-Bration in the Happy Memories stamp set. I love this set. Bummer story... my kitty hopped up on my crafting table one night and scattered some things. This case popped open and all the stamps fell out. One of the stamps, the cute little bird in the cage, is still nowhere to be found. I'm thinking it either fell in the trash, or it became a kitty toy and is now hidden very well! That silly Leo! Well, maybe someday it will show up again.<br /><br />I colored the image with blender pens and ink pads. I matted the image on Melon Mambo cardstock and tied Melon Mambo polka-dot ribbon around it. I think the background turned out really cool! First, I ran the Whisper White textured cardstock base through the Big Shot using the new Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The card still seemed too bare, so I inked up the impression with Versamark ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Pretty in Pink Stampin' Pastel over the card. I could have stopped there, because it looked alright. However, I remembered I haven't used my Smooch Spritz yet! I couldn't resist the opportunity. I shook it up really well, placed the card inside a box (I'd read from others it is messy) and I started to spray. I think I spritzed 4 times... maybe 5. I love this stuff! I'm definitely going to order it in the other colors! So... what do you think of my smooch?<br /><br />Supplies:<br />Stamp: Happy Memories (SAB 2010)<br />Cardstock: Melon Mambo #115320, Whisper White #100730, Whisper White Textured #108693<br />Ink: Melon Mambo Classic Ink #115656, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink #100908, Versamark #102283<br />Accessories: Square Lattice Impressions Folder #119976, Smooch Spritz Gold Glow #118770, Melon Mambo 1/2" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon #115611<br /><br />If you are looking for a Stampin' UP! demonstrator in Salt Lake City, Utah or the surrounding area, please contact me!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-2376507361455665690?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-13930909387746675892010-05-16T21:27:00.006-06:002010-05-20T14:46:06.841-06:00<div>One of the things I love about being a Stampin' UP demonstrator is getting to know the other demonstrators! I participated in a swap on Stampin' Connection, a site exclusively for SU demonstrators. The swap was to use Sahara Sand and one other color from the Earth Elements family. I participated in two of the swaps, but I'm only going to show you the one using Ruby Red today. I'll show you the other card tomorrow.

I often use sketches from challenges, but it is usually long after the challenge window. I noticed this <a href="http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/2010/05/ftl-90.html">FTL 90</a> sketch at the Clean and Simple blog. As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use a pink and brown combination and the Circle Circus stamp set. Here is my take on the challenge:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472034299373586290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_CSNATqh3I/AAAAAAAAA3g/KiKrCBCtr64/s320/Circle+Circus+Thank+You.JPG" border="0" />And here is the sketch:<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472034298626807010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 247px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S_CSM9hnlOI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/G2EWLYh5SMo/s320/FTL90.jpg" border="0" />This card actually came together really quickly. That is often the case for me when I'm using a sketch. I need to remember that next time I'm frustrated with myself about losing my stampin' mojo!<br /><br />Stampin' Supplies: All from Stampin' UP!<br />Stamps: Circle Circus #115778, Thank You Kindly #111700<br />Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Ink #100908, Pretty in Pink Classic Ink # 101301<br />Cardstock: Chocolate Chip #102128, Whisper White #100730, Whisper White Textured #108693<br />Ribbon: Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain #109051<br /><br />There are some great items right now in the Clearance Rack.

She was looking for someone to make Save the Date cards for her wedding. She wanted them in black and white, with a little bit of red. I made up several samples, and this is what the couple chose.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S-m-xE4iLzI/AAAAAAAAA24/-Fq3G-HDySE/s1600/Wedding+Invite.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCGkhmdqIuI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/eslLtHUpt_c/s1600/Wedding+Invite.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485846718281556706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCGkhmdqIuI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/eslLtHUpt_c/s320/Wedding+Invite.jpg" border="0" /></a>I liked the idea of a pocket card, where the insert slides out. I began with a base of Whisper White card stock. I used the Upsy Daisy stamp set in Basic Black on the front, and the sentiment is from Wedding Sweet in Real Red.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S-m-wTxoecI/AAAAAAAAA2o/75R5IRxRlNE/s1600/Wedding+Insert.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470112959569623490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S-m-wTxoecI/AAAAAAAAA2o/75R5IRxRlNE/s320/Wedding+Insert.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The insert is Basic Black card stock, I printed the information from my printer onto Whisper White cardstock.

However, even more than making them, I love giving them away! I almost always make card sets to give as gifts: birthdays, showers, workshop hostesses, stamp club hostess, and friends who invite us over for dinner. This past week, I was doing some work on my home computer, which I rarely use. I found some scans of project I had made last summer while I was in between laptops. Somehow, these projects never made it to my blog. The project I'm sharing today was made for my friend Liz, who hosted a barbeque last summer for a large group of our friends. Unfortunately, for some reason I thought scanning was a good way to capture a picture of this project. Obviously, a camera would have been a much wiser choice!<br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469410124572281058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 257px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S-c_h7YOSOI/AAAAAAAAA2I/WKkkxoEYD-s/s320/Medallion+Thank+You.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="left"><strong>Supplies Used</strong></div>Medallion Stamp Set #115223<br />Enjoy Every Moment Stamp Set (thank you on card) #113622<br />For All You Do Stamp Set (thank you on tag) #115360<br />Whisper White Card Stock #100730Basic Black Card Stock #102851<br />Melon Mambo Card Stock #115320<br />Melon Mambo Classic Ink #115656<br />Melon Mambo Polka-Dot Ribbon #115611<br />Basic Black Classic Ink #101179<br />1-3/4" Circle Punch #112004<br />Eyelet Border Punch #113692<br />Tag Punch #105934<br />Small Tag Punch #108264<br />Large Flat Cellophane Bag #102210<br /><br />To order any of the supplies, please enter my store by clicking on the shopping link to the right.

She was released from the hospital today, so I wanted to make her something pretty to enjoy while she recovers. I love flowers, but I wanted something that would last longer. I decided to make her a flower bouquet using my Flower Folds die #115970 and my Big Shot machine #113439. This project came together in about 30 minutes! It was so quick! I used kabob skewers as my stems. I had originally pictured putting the bouquet in the Fancy Favor, but I didn't have anything strong enough to hold it up. I think a piece of florist's foam would definitely do the trick!</div><br /><div></div><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCGnj6H6YzI/AAAAAAAAA-o/MP0XKpnfgtk/s1600/Flower+Fold+Bouquet.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485850056453677874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/TCGnj6H6YzI/AAAAAAAAA-o/MP0XKpnfgtk/s320/Flower+Fold+Bouquet.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For the card, I began with a Cameo Coral cardstock #100475 base and layered it with Designer series Paper in So Saffron #112152. The image is from Flower Fancy #111578 stamped in Chocolate Chip for the outline. I colored the stamp using Stampin' UP! Marvelous Markers #105541 in Cameo Coral #100074, So Saffron #105114, and Mellow Moss #100038. I used 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon in Mellow Moss #109033. The sentiment is from the Kind &amp; Caring Thoughts Hostess Set #115324. I punched the sentiment using the Word Window Punch #105090 and layered it on the Modern Label Punch #116630.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466759138290553010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S93UeN5t0LI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/jdHbaRu8e7M/s320/Flower+Fancy+Get+Well.JPG" border="0" />As always, I love reading your comments!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-4940522858744977339?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-21953743434898829992010-04-27T18:39:00.001-06:002010-06-13T12:23:05.703-06:00<div align="left">Prizes, prizes, and more prizes!!!!</div><div align="left">Late Night Stampers...

I am sending her a little donation to help with her trip. She is an amazing girl. I made this cute card to send her a note with my donation.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466755814470584834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S93RcvtSCgI/AAAAAAAAAzI/qaXGEeouUd0/s320/Enjoy+Every+Moment+Greenhouse+Garden.JPG" border="0" /> The base is Bermuda Bay cardstock #115317, and I used the corresponding Designer Series Paper in Bermuda Bay #115684 on top of Basic Black cardstock #102851 for the mat. I stamped "Enjoy" from the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set #113622 in Melon Mambo ink #115656 and "every moment" from the same set in Basic Black ink #101179. The flower is from the Greenhouse Garden stamp set #113824, which in on sale through the end of April as part of the 2-Step Stamping Promotion. I stamped the base of the flower in Pretty in Pink ink #101301, and the darker details using the Melon Mambo ink again. I popped the flower using a Stampin' Dimensional #104430 and used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the bottom. This punch was available during sale-a-bration, but it will be for sale again in the 2010-2011 Idea Book &amp; Catalog that will be released July 1.<br /><br />What do you think?

This is always a stressful time for my teachers, so I wanted to make everyone in our school a little treat. I used retired papers, because I am trying to use up my stash. Making 80 of these boxes was a great way to use some of it up!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466749717693347634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S93L53cUNzI/AAAAAAAAAzA/hIP0XXHm_ns/s320/Fancy+Favor+Boxes.JPG" border="0" /> I made the boxes using the Stampin' UP! Fancy Favor die #115965. I assembled the boxes using some Sticky Strip #104294. I punched a tab in the top of each box using the Horizontal Slot Punch #105089, and finished them off with a little piece of ribbon. The thinner ribbon is the 1/4' Grosgrain Ribbon in Mellow Moss #109033. The thicker ribbon in Certainly Celery is retired, but you could easily substitute with 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon in Certainly Celery #109050. It would be the same color and width.<br /><br /><br />I filled each bag with an assorment of candies. I think it took me 2 hours to cut, assemble, and fill 80 boxes! Sooo easy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-4405785577898267727?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-85048090205179733032010-04-11T13:50:00.008-06:002010-04-11T14:33:24.821-06:00I am finally getting around to posting some of my project photos to Stampin' Connection, a website for Stampin' UP! demos. I love this site and get great inspiration from the other demos. This is just one of the awesome perks about being a demonstrator. If you want to sign up as a demo, I'd love to have you on my team. Feel free to contact me with any questions. To sign up, go to my SU website <a href="http://stampinwithchelsea.stampinup.net/">http://stampinwithchelsea.stampinup.net/</a> click on "Start your own business" in the right corner. My recruiter password is "agreatdeal" (without the quotations) because I think it is!<br /><br />A few of the demos on Stampin' Connection have requested tutorials for two of my card boxes. I love giving cards as a gift in these cute boxes!<br /><br />I had already published a tutorial for one of the boxes here on my blog, but it has been awhile. The original post showing this box with all the card that went inside is <a href="http://a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com/2009/04/thank-you-cards-and-box-oval-all.html">HERE</a>. The tutorial for making this box is <a href="http://a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com/2009/05/box-with-brad-closure-tutorial.html">HERE</a>. This box holds 6 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch boxes and 6 A2 envelopes.<br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Ir--ImwMI/AAAAAAAAAy0/w1m5CTNv-1E/s1600/ThankYouBox3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458974059157438658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Ir--ImwMI/AAAAAAAAAy0/w1m5CTNv-1E/s320/ThankYouBox3.jpg" border="0" /></a>The second box was a gift set I made last year for Mother's Day. The original post showing all the cards that went inside is <a href="http://a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com/2009/07/monogram-cards-with-box.html">HERE</a>. This box comfortably held 5 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch cards with envelopes and 2 small notecards with envelopes.<br /></p><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Ir-vvFvxI/AAAAAAAAAys/fm69ifx2Dmo/s1600/MonogramCardBox.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458974055292321554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Ir-vvFvxI/AAAAAAAAAys/fm69ifx2Dmo/s320/MonogramCardBox.jpg" border="0" /></a> This box is a little bit sturdier than the other boxes I've made because I reinforced the sides with a double fold. Also, this box has seperate pieces for the base and the lid. Now for the tutorial!</p><p>I started with 2 pieces of 12 x 12 textured card stock in Barely Banana. This is one of the colors that will be retiring June 30, so if you like the color, you'll want to stock up now. :) I cut the base piece down to 10 x 8 1/2 inches.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrjLzJ_dI/AAAAAAAAAyk/EplhSDJ57Es/s1600/Base+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973581789232594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrjLzJ_dI/AAAAAAAAAyk/EplhSDJ57Es/s320/Base+1.JPG" border="0" /></a> Next, I scored each side at 1 inch and 2 inches. If you want a particular side of your cardstock to be the outside (textured cardstock or patterned), you will want to make sure the side that will show is facing you as your score. Here is what the paper looks like after scoring:</p><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Iri3XnYvI/AAAAAAAAAyc/9wpL20H5z5I/s1600/Base+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973576305009394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Iri3XnYvI/AAAAAAAAAyc/9wpL20H5z5I/s320/Base+2.JPG" border="0" /></a> After you have scored the paper, you will want to cut along the score lines as show below. Be sure you leave the little tabs on each end. You will see why those are important, soon!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Iridw08iI/AAAAAAAAAyU/I2Xub44zoyY/s1600/Base+3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973569431433762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Iridw08iI/AAAAAAAAAyU/I2Xub44zoyY/s320/Base+3.JPG" border="0" /></a>I like to use SU's Sticky Strip when I make boxes because it is strong, and it won't ooze out like glue when you fold in the sides. If you use glue, just make a thin line across the whole side like I've done with the strips.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IriMupl5I/AAAAAAAAAyM/ElMmxAv4sqA/s1600/Base+4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973564858898322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IriMupl5I/AAAAAAAAAyM/ElMmxAv4sqA/s320/Base+4.JPG" border="0" /></a>This next picture shows how to fold in the sides. Be sure to fold in the tabs first, like you see below. This keeps all your sides connected to each other. You'll fold the sides down over the tabs making the sides double thick for a sturdier box.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Irh8Acx4I/AAAAAAAAAyE/-4VgcqigGBw/s1600/Base+5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973560370153346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8Irh8Acx4I/AAAAAAAAAyE/-4VgcqigGBw/s320/Base+5.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here is a picture of the base with an A2 envelope inside. I apologize for the fuzziness, I just returned home from a bike ride followed by a run, and my hands are still a little shakey! :)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJ1rDauI/AAAAAAAAAx8/tEjNhOGixrs/s1600/Base+6.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973146352937698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJ1rDauI/AAAAAAAAAx8/tEjNhOGixrs/s320/Base+6.JPG" border="0" /></a> For the lid, cut your second piece of cardstock to 9 1/4 x 7 3/4 inches and score each side at 3/4 of an inch and 1 1/2 inches. You will then cut the corners just like you did with the base.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJQyNuRI/AAAAAAAAAx0/jHeyTZSAQkk/s1600/Lid+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973136450861330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJQyNuRI/AAAAAAAAAx0/jHeyTZSAQkk/s320/Lid+1.JPG" border="0" /></a> Apply your Sticky Strip and assemble the lid just like you did the base. Here is a picture of the completed box. Notice that the lid sides are shorter than the base sides.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJLVgswI/AAAAAAAAAxs/uC5rBuLRcOc/s1600/Side+View.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973134988292866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrJLVgswI/AAAAAAAAAxs/uC5rBuLRcOc/s320/Side+View.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here is the box I made today and the box I made last year.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrIk0lyYI/AAAAAAAAAxk/g_WhAE8RXVQ/s1600/Both+Boxes.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973124649666946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrIk0lyYI/AAAAAAAAAxk/g_WhAE8RXVQ/s320/Both+Boxes.JPG" border="0" /></a>As I was recreating this box today for the tutorial, I thought to myself, "I should really be keeping these dimensions someplace where I can find them again!" So, I decided to write it all my notes into a little notebook to keep. Here are how I do my notes. You'll also notice the dimensions for the lid decorations.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrISZ63KI/AAAAAAAAAxc/cZRUr1mx-2s/s1600/Dimensions.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458973119705963682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/S8IrISZ63KI/AAAAAAAAAxc/cZRUr1mx-2s/s320/Dimensions.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial.

I decided it was time to change my blog background, header, and the "Order Online" button to the right. The design part was so fun and easy! (Remembering how to import the html code took a little longer.) You can order MDS from my online store by clicking the button on the right. If you use a different program, like Photoshop Elements, you can still buy all the digital SU papers, stamps and elements to use with that program. Please contact me with any questions!<br /><br />I would love some feedback on my new background, too!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-3829821174914212424?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-21006343328072760072009-12-19T11:22:00.000-07:002009-12-20T12:10:36.880-07:00I have been playing around with My Digital Studio, but I hadn't made anything to publish... until last weekend. My sister is coming to town for Christmas with her husband and son next week, so my mom and I wanted to throw a little party to introduce people to her son, Max. Really, we just wanted an excuse to get together with friends!<br /><br />I can't tell you how easy it was to make this invitation. It took me less than an hour to design the invitation, settle on the wording, and send it to over 50 people via email. It couldn't get any easier than that!<br /><br />Of course, I could have also had these invitations printed and mailed them through snail mail, but we were a little short on time since the party is Wednesday. I could have printed this at any number of printing locations, but I would have done it through Stampin' UP! Not only does SU have a competitive price for printing, but the colors precisely match SU's great colors if I had wanted to make this invite a hybrid and add some embellishments to it after printing.<br /><br />You can order My Digital Studio through my <a href="http://stampinwithchelsea.stampinup.net/">online store</a>. The item number is #118108. I have recently become certified in MDS, so I would also love to bring a My Digital Studio class or workshop to you and your friends. If you live in Salt Lake City or surrounding areas, contact me to set that up. If you are out of my area, I would be happy to connect you with one of my fellow demonstrators near you!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417020774116577826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sy0fsYYhUiI/AAAAAAAAArs/2PmWJnL_Y-8/s320/Sip+and+See+-+Mel%27s+Invite-001+Blog.JPG" border="0" /> So, what do you think of this invitation?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-2100634332807276007?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-83816108186485685192009-12-12T08:45:00.000-07:002009-12-12T08:50:24.539-07:00<div>Recently Microsoft updated their support for HTML (the coding used on web pages) in most of their Outlook products.

Last weekend I went to a baby shower for Shelli. As part of the gift, I gave her a set of Thank You cards. Here is what the cards look like. On the inside, I used a sentiment from Kind and Caring Thoughts that reads, "Just want you to know how much your thoughtfulness is appreciated."<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SnzvIR4Ie0I/AAAAAAAAAqU/hsHtMaT6lmk/s400/Flower%20Card.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p></p><p align="center">Stampin' Supplies:</p><div align="center">Stamps: Kind and Caring Thoughts (Hostess Set, Level 3) #115324</div><div align="center">Ink: Pink Passion #101212, Pixie Pink #105212</div><div align="center">Card Stock: Whisper White Textured #108693 (asst pack), Whisper White #199730, Night of Navy #100867, Bordering Blue #102630</div><div align="center">1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon: Night of Navy #109036</div><div align="center">Designer Series Patterned Paper: Bordering Blue (Retired Patterns Pack, Hostess Level 1)</div><br />This was the card I made to go with the gift. It was actually a standard card measuring 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Apparently, my scanner didn't want to recognize the white card base. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until now, and I've already given the card away, so just imagine a white border around the Bashful Blue card stock. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SnzvIHUujqI/AAAAAAAAAqM/XCyt_e7fmM4/s1600-h/Cherish+Card+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367427778602765986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SnzvIHUujqI/AAAAAAAAAqM/XCyt_e7fmM4/s320/Cherish+Card+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">Stampin' Supplies:</div><div align="center">Stamps: Animal Stories #116716, Warm Words #115108</div><div align="center">Ink: Brilliant Blue #100691, Bashful Blue #105209</div><div align="center">Card Stock: Whisper White Textured #108693 (asst pack), Whisper White #100730, Brilliant Blue #100721, Bashful Blue #105120</div><div align="center">Designer Series Paper: Bashful Blue (Retired from Sale-a-Bration)</div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-5708469197821627503?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-58622450708899809352009-07-27T18:32:00.000-06:002009-08-07T21:10:05.509-06:00<div>Can we ever have enough Thank You cards?

I have been busy wrapping up one job to transition to another, and am also finishing up classes for a certification through work. Times have been busy! I am finally finding time to get caught up on my blog, and I've been finding time to craft, too!</div><div> </div><div>First, it's time to do some catch-up! Here are some card sets I made for my mom, James's mom, and my dad's girlfriend.<br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360646966781291186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYA61GKrI/AAAAAAAAAnc/LTGAklzcrZE/s320/Whole+Monogram+Set.JPG" />I made these for Mother's Day, so many of the items I used are now Retired from SU. However, I hope you will be able to use the ideas with items from the current catalog! All items used Whisper White Textured Card Stock (106529), Regal Rose Card Stock (105130), Regal Rose ink pad (105211), and the Scallop Circle Punch (109043). I also used the Big Deal Alphabet stamp set (retired) for the letters. I think the Contempo Alphabet (111570), or the Lovely Letters Alphabet (115030) stamp sets would look great on monogram cards, too!</div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360647339098312658" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYWl0ZD9I/AAAAAAAAAoU/xymsXMrFzt4/s320/Monogram+Note+Cards.JPG" /></div><div>Each set included two note cards.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360646974392183122" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYBXLrKVI/AAAAAAAAAnk/hk9BEASL_mU/s320/Monogram+Card+Box.JPG" /></div></div><div></div><div>I used Regal Rose card stock on the box and in many of the pictures. I also used Brocade Blue patterned paper, which was one of the Hostess Set choices from the last catalog. Although this option is no longer available, there is another Patterns Pack Designer Series Paper 3 (116234) in this catalog available as a Level 1 Hostess Set. The ribbon is Certainly Celery (109050). I used the Oval All stamp s Set (113790), the Large Oval Punch (107305) and the Scallop Oval Punch (114889) and the So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker (105114).</div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYWVP1zkI/AAAAAAAAAoM/BZ7w6pdfaLc/s1600-h/Monogram+Card+5.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360647334650039874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYWVP1zkI/AAAAAAAAAoM/BZ7w6pdfaLc/s320/Monogram+Card+5.JPG" /></a> This card utilized the Top Note Die (113463) for the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439).<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYWAuS8BI/AAAAAAAAAoE/WGcHVhH6enI/s1600-h/Monogram+Card+4.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360647329140633618" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYWAuS8BI/AAAAAAAAAoE/WGcHVhH6enI/s320/Monogram+Card+4.JPG" /></a> In addition to items already listed, I used the Trio Flower Punch (109183).<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYCBloJBI/AAAAAAAAAn8/2QkBPP8Kt4Q/s1600-h/Monogram+Card+3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360646985775326226" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYCBloJBI/AAAAAAAAAn8/2QkBPP8Kt4Q/s320/Monogram+Card+3.JPG" /></a> For this card, I used the Great Friend stamp set (113792), Old Olive ink (102277) and Almost Amethyst ink (101723).<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYB_5RETI/AAAAAAAAAn0/7TK8XoXoJ-E/s1600-h/Monogram+Card+2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360646985320829234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYB_5RETI/AAAAAAAAAn0/7TK8XoXoJ-E/s320/Monogram+Card+2.JPG" /></a> I used So Saffron card stock (105118) for the circle, So Saffron ribbon (retired) and Whisper White Satin Ribbon (114616).<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYBlwsnhI/AAAAAAAAAns/0VLccFLKc_Y/s1600-h/Monogram+Card+1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360646978305564178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SmTYBlwsnhI/AAAAAAAAAns/0VLccFLKc_Y/s320/Monogram+Card+1.JPG" /></a> These sets were fun to make and give away! </div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-5454249986648206895?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-81839414437716484472009-05-31T22:45:00.000-06:002009-05-31T22:47:21.039-06:00Stampin' UP! has just announced the Last Chance List (formerly the Retired List).

Thanks to Sandy, a friend from the <a href="http://www.fromctoshiningc.com/">From C to Shining C messageboard </a>for reminding me I promised to post this!<br /><br />This box ended up being one of those "happy accidents." I was adapting the measurements from a smaller box to fit my needs, but my paper wasn't long enough for the box to completely close upon itself. I decided to try adding a brad and some ribbon to make a latch. This box easily fits six A2 envelopes and six 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Begin with a piece of cardstock cut at 8 inches x 11 inches.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335895532682519010" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sgzot1gioeI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/wbn3m8jTN1A/s320/Box+Tutorial+1.JPG" /><br /><div>With the paper turned vertically, score the paper at the 1 inch and 7 inch marks.

You can see the finished box <a href="http://a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com/2009/04/thank-you-cards-and-box-oval-all.html">here</a>. If you want a box that closes completely, begin with an 8x12 piece of cardstock. In addition to the instructions for this box, you will also score the paper horizontally at the 11 inch mark.<br /><br />I think these make great gifts!<br /><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-6800613773240091368?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-78080290055892331862009-05-04T08:30:00.000-06:002009-05-04T14:05:03.486-06:00Because of the popularity of the free ink pad with orders over $50, I am going to continue this through the month of May.

We went to a BBQ tonight to celebrate. Although they didn't want anyone bringing gifts, I can't show up anyplace empty handed! I figured this was the perfect time to try out some ideas I have for my upcoming class. I will be using different papers for the class, because I want to use the papers from the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/Occasions09_US.pdf">Occasions Mini Catalog</a>. James was a sport and helped me with assembling the pieces together on the cards. He did a few of the punches, too. I think he enjoys it more than he lets on... he certainly never complains when I ask him for help, and now he has started to offer help. He may not like me sharing that info, so let's keep it a secret!<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sevt8wJdhVI/AAAAAAAAAiU/JdoDPK0mVwM/s400/Thank%20You%20Box%202.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sevt9HAQ82I/AAAAAAAAAik/beyLHgF_kQs/s1600-h/Thank+You+Box+3.jpg"></a>Close up of box.<br /><br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sevt87rjNoI/AAAAAAAAAic/XZajj4LUU2Y/s1600-h/Thank+You+Box.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326612615364032130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sevt87rjNoI/AAAAAAAAAic/XZajj4LUU2Y/s320/Thank+You+Box.jpg" border="0" /></a> Top view of box. </div><br /><br /><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SevuP_5wo_I/AAAAAAAAAi8/OkdOfD5l6rg/s400/Thank%20You%20in%20Box.jpg" border="0" />The cards and envelopes in the box.<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sevt9OoY9CI/AAAAAAAAAis/kqYc0ezAmvw/s400/Thank%20You%20Cards.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SevwE6yE0dI/AAAAAAAAAjE/80iWYXF90Os/s1600-h/Thank+You+Cards.jpg"></a>I included 6 cards.

James and I went to Aspen, CO to visit my sister Mel who just had a baby boy in February. I did start to work on a few things while there, but I haven't had a chance to finish anything since getting home. I came back to finals... yuck!<br /><br /><br />However, I don't think I ever ended up posting pics from the baby book I made for cute little Max! I didn't use any Stampin' UP! products on this book, because I started it before I was using SU! products and before I became a demo.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhULi9IoI/AAAAAAAAAhc/mLGvO9h2irM/s1600-h/It%27s+a+Boy.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325332083713581698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhULi9IoI/AAAAAAAAAhc/mLGvO9h2irM/s320/It%27s+a+Boy.JPG" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUDKoFfI/AAAAAAAAAhk/Pu83krFF6ow/s1600-h/Ultrasound.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325332081464055282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUDKoFfI/AAAAAAAAAhk/Pu83krFF6ow/s320/Ultrasound.JPG" /></a><br />I mostly used my Cricut and paper from Die Cuts With a View from the Baby Boy stack. For the die cuts, I mostly used the New Arrival cartridge with my Cricut. I used SCAL for a lot of the fonts to add some variety.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUbIZiMI/AAAAAAAAAh0/q6zxlICzDTs/s1600-h/Baby+Bump.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325332087897163970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUbIZiMI/AAAAAAAAAh0/q6zxlICzDTs/s320/Baby+Bump.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUWM0TGI/AAAAAAAAAhs/GZq84Dc_AmM/s1600-h/Welcome+Home.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325332086573517922" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SedhUWM0TGI/AAAAAAAAAhs/GZq84Dc_AmM/s320/Welcome+Home.JPG" /></a><br />I don't think these pages even represent half of the book.

Being that both companies are located in Utah, it is more than possible they use the same company for printing. In December (before I became a SU! demo and fell in love with their paper sets) I went to an American Crafts warehouse sale and went overboard on the great deals they had on card stock and patterned papers. Some of the paper I bought in packs... now when am I ever going to use 50 pieces of the same paper? To make cards of course!</div><br /><div></div><div>Here are a few cards I've made using a combo of Stampin' UP! and American Crafts supplies:</div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321680007803602002" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpnxYluhFI/AAAAAAAAAhE/4WIbpDBeB4w/s320/IMG_0570.JPG" />This first card uses American Crafts paper for the base and the purple layer (this is actually the backside of the striped paper). I used Whisper White CS for the stamped image base, because NOTHING works as well for stamping as Whisper White card stock! I inked the edges with Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip inks. I stamped the image from Botanical Blooms (one of the Sale-a-Bration) sets in Chocolate Chip, the petals are Cameo Coral, and the leaves are Kiwi Kiss. I tied Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon around the stamped image. The saying is from the "Heard from the Heart" stamp set. I love the font on this stamp set! I made a pack of these cards, put them in a cello bag with envelopes, and gave them to a friend who had us over for dinner this week.<br /><div> </div><div>**</div><div> </div><div>I used the same paper from American Crafts on the next three cards and combined it with Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze card stock from Stampin' UP! I am ecstatic at how well they match!!</div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321679993822431666" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpnwkgWybI/AAAAAAAAAg8/wejAE0jxirE/s320/IMG_0568.JPG" /></div><div>Seriously!! Can you believe how well the colors line up?? I used the "Fifth Avenue Florals" stamp set and used the masking technique to give the look of overlapping flowers. I used Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze stamps for the flowers. I wrapped a black, velvet ribbon from my stash around the image. The saying didn't show up well in the photos (I tried several) but it looks great in real life! I used the "Congrats" set from Sale-a-Bration for the word "Congratulations" and stamped it in the Essential Glue Pad before covering it in Black Fine Galaxy Stampin' Glitter.</div><div> </div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sdpnx2_t2VI/AAAAAAAAAhU/UDPzZn6JXyc/s1600-h/IMG_0572.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321680015965673810" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sdpnx2_t2VI/AAAAAAAAAhU/UDPzZn6JXyc/s320/IMG_0572.JPG" /></a> I wanted to try making some basic cards with a more masculine look. For the above card, I used Kiwi Kiss CS and ink for the "Happy Birthday". I used the Scallop Circle Punch and a Nestabilities die.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sdpnxo3w7dI/AAAAAAAAAhM/2bRQ7IIEIUE/s1600-h/IMG_0571.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321680012174224850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/Sdpnxo3w7dI/AAAAAAAAAhM/2bRQ7IIEIUE/s320/IMG_0571.JPG" /></a><br /><div>This last card was super quick to make. I cut a piece of Kiwi Kiss CS using my SU! Scallop Circle punch. I used a rub-on from my stash for the sentiment and some black ric-rac. I used Stampin' Dimensionals under the scallop to pop it off the paper.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-1804080878179918007?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-10739215064469268172009-04-06T12:46:00.000-06:002009-04-06T14:03:28.074-06:00Before becoming a demonstrator for SU! I attended a class that my upline, Natalie, held using the "Love You Much" stamp set. Since then, I have continued to use this set - it is so cute! All of these cards use the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper Set, another one of my favorite paper sets from SU!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpQYPTW3uI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/8QiKTLPvFvE/s1600-h/IMG_0577.JPG"></a>For this card, I used Chocolate Chip CS for the base, Pink Pirouette CS for the stipes, Candy Lane for the polka dot paper, Riding Hood Red CS for the mat, and Whisper White CS for the <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjSjCXGI/AAAAAAAAAgw/WnLtrZ5BsLQ/s1600-h/IMG_0577.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321659974454238306" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjSjCXGI/AAAAAAAAAgw/WnLtrZ5BsLQ/s320/IMG_0577.JPG" /></a>stamped image. I inked the edge of the WW with Chocolate Chip ink and a sponge. I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip and used the Blender Pen and the ink-in-the-lid technique using Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette inks. I used the Masking technique to overlap the word "Love" and the birds. I punched out hearts using the Heart to Heart Punch and adhered them to the card using snail. I then used 2-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds SU! glitter.<br /><br /><div>This card also uses Chocolate Chip CS for the base, Pink Pirouette CS for the stipes and stamp mat, Candy Lane for the polka dot paper, and Whisper White CS for the stamped image. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjL96gSI/AAAAAAAAAgg/_F_52FG0_Eg/s1600-h/IMG_0574.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321659972687921442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjL96gSI/AAAAAAAAAgg/_F_52FG0_Eg/s320/IMG_0574.JPG" /></a>I inked the edge of the WW with Chocolate Chip ink and a sponge. I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip and used the Blender Pen and the ink-in-the-lid technique using Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette inks. I stamped the hearts using Riding Hood Red on Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red CS and used the Heart to Heart Punch to cut them out. I also added two brads... I didn't realize they were crooked until now!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjbfdVlI/AAAAAAAAAgo/1GFU_k5s-Xg/s1600-h/IMG_0575.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321659976855148114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpVjbfdVlI/AAAAAAAAAgo/1GFU_k5s-Xg/s320/IMG_0575.JPG" /></a></div><div>By now you're getting used to this pattern: Chocolate Chip CS for the base, stamped with a Versamark Pad to get the watermark effect, Pink Pirouette CS, Candy Lane CS, Whisper White CS, image stamped in Chocolate Chip and colored with Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red, and punched with the Scallop Circle Punch. I used 2-way glue on the center heart and added Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter.

I used Riding Hood Red CS stamped with Riding Hood Red ink for the base. I used the Scallop Edge punch on the Pink Pirouette CS and used paper from the Candy Lane set for the brown. I stamped the large hear in Chocolate Chip, colored it with Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette using the Blender Pens, and added Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter using the 2-way glue pen. I tied Riding Hood Red striped grosgrain ribbon around the front and stamped "friend to friend" in Chocolate Chip.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Whew!

"Crazy for Cupcakes" stamp set. I love this stamp set! <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpIXlSRLFI/AAAAAAAAAfo/7E6UXt86wBE/s1600-h/IMG_0578.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321645479674588242" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpIXlSRLFI/AAAAAAAAAfo/7E6UXt86wBE/s320/IMG_0578.JPG" /></a>This first card I made using some paper from my stash. I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip on SU Whisper White Cardstock and colored the image using a Blender Pen and the Magic Colored Pencil Technique (MCPT or Gamsol). I used the SU 2-way glue pen on the frosting and added SU Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter. <br /><br />On the inside of the card, I stamped "hope your day is the sweetest ever!" which is also from this stamp set. This is such a great set for birthday cards. I made a set of them at once, so I would have cute cards on hand when needed!<br /><br /><br />I made this next card using a base of Whisper White CS and SU Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. This is one of my favorite sets of SU paper! I think I love this set because it has several different polka dot sheets and the combination of pink and brown makes my heart sing! <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpIXzSpLbI/AAAAAAAAAfw/C-bKPdk8Nlo/s1600-h/IMG_0576.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321645483434257842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpIXzSpLbI/AAAAAAAAAfw/C-bKPdk8Nlo/s320/IMG_0576.JPG" /></a><br />I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White CS and colored the image using Blender Pens and the ink-in-the-lid technique with Close to Cocoa, Riding Hood Red, and Pink Pirouette. I tied Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon around the front and used the SU Scallop Edge punch along the floral layer of paper. I think I made this card at a card demo by my upline Natalie.<br /><br />This paper is only available for a few more months, so stock up now if you love it as much as I do!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdpIXzSpLbI/AAAAAAAAAfw/C-bKPdk8Nlo/s1600-h/IMG_0576.JPG"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-4324984445293162318?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-55435057197113243372009-04-02T09:44:00.000-06:002009-04-02T09:58:10.655-06:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdTgILrjbmI/AAAAAAAAAbk/E4UjfTXhuxo/s1600-h/Occasions09_US1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 175px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320123491010440802" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SdTgILrjbmI/AAAAAAAAAbk/E4UjfTXhuxo/s320/Occasions09_US1.jpg" /></a>Connect with family and friends when you make them beautiful cards and gifts using products from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Thanks to some very helpful friends on the Cricut messageboard, I've created and added my own background to my blog! It now has a little personality. Of course, it had to showcase my love for all things pink and polka-dots!<br /><br />First, I went to <a href="http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/">www.thecutestblogontheblock.com</a>. After picking one of their free backgrounds, I stumbled across the tutorials. Since I have been wanting to play around with Photoshop, I decided to create my own background. I used elements I found at <a href="http://www.shabbyprincess.com/">www.shabbyprincess.com</a>. They have the cutest templates on their site, and many of them are free!!<br /><br />Tomorrow (maybe) I'll tackle my header. <br /><br />What do you think??<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-8296918584222277996?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753164647266576520.post-56160174287798588862009-03-28T13:21:00.001-06:002009-03-28T14:22:34.713-06:00Well, well, well.

I've joined the blogging world. I don't have a really clear vision of what I want this blog to be, but for now I'm going to focus on my paper crafting.<br /><br />I just joined Stampin' UP! as a demonstrator, and I am really excited about it! My Starter Kit came in the mail today - I have been checking for it daily since placing my order last week. It came today! Yay! I promised Linda I would post some pics, as I'm trying to convince her of the great deal this kit is. Through the rest of this month, the Starter Kit is 15% off, plus you get to select an additional stamp set and the shipping is free.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiVPMUvR_I/AAAAAAAAASU/0X_kk7srtc0/s1600-h/IMG_0559.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312159848722286578" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiVPMUvR_I/AAAAAAAAASU/0X_kk7srtc0/s320/IMG_0559.JPG" border="0" /></a> If you want to get in on this great deal, click the link to the left for my Stampin' UP! website and go to "Join Now" for the kit. If you aren't interested in the kit but need more product, now is definitely the time to order. SU is having their Sale-a-Bration through the end of March. For every $50 of product you purchase, you get to select an item from the SAB catalog. There are some great options to choose from!<br /><br />My first peek at my new goodies!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiWQqHj42I/AAAAAAAAASc/tSjrpPsAax0/s1600-h/IMG_0560.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312160973411574626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiWQqHj42I/AAAAAAAAASc/tSjrpPsAax0/s320/IMG_0560.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here are the cardstocks I chose.<br />The 8 1/2 x 11 packs are multi-colored. One is from the Earth Elements line and the other is the In Color line for 08-09.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYzA-iPbI/AAAAAAAAASs/2RRnhes_m8o/s1600-h/IMG_0563.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYzA-iPbI/AAAAAAAAASs/2RRnhes_m8o/s1600-h/IMG_0563.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312163762686541234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYzA-iPbI/AAAAAAAAASs/2RRnhes_m8o/s320/IMG_0563.JPG" border="0" /></a>Because I also opted for the Making Memories kit, I picked a 12x12 stack to match the Simply Scrappin' Kit I picked - Sweet Nothings.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYy88XZuI/AAAAAAAAASk/t5ZFGyJDjts/s1600-h/IMG_0561.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312163761603700450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYy88XZuI/AAAAAAAAASk/t5ZFGyJDjts/s320/IMG_0561.JPG" border="0" /></a>I selected my ink pads to fill in some gaps I had in my colors.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiY0FBotZI/AAAAAAAAATE/sw5F_7Tq9f0/s1600-h/IMG_0566.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312163780953159058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiY0FBotZI/AAAAAAAAATE/sw5F_7Tq9f0/s320/IMG_0566.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was desperately in need of a stamp cleaning pad. Lucky for me, this is part of the kit! I am also excited to try out my pastels. I received my Stampin' Around Wheel and the cartridge, but the actual stamp in on backorder.<br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYz3dWGNI/AAAAAAAAAS8/Sp7XLwUs29g/s1600-h/IMG_0565.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312163777311283410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrDcwBfN-eA/SbiYz3dWGNI/AAAAAAAAAS8/Sp7XLwUs29g/s320/IMG_0565.JPG" border="0" /></a>The last items in my new kit are my business items. These aren't nearly as exciting as the products! However, if you are interested in hosting a Stampin' UP! party, I'm ready to go! I'm your gal. In addition to the great hostess benefits you can earn from SU, I also give some additional freebies to my hostesses!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2753164647266576520-5171645034712477376?l=a-chelsea-morning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chelsea Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04052937719809567320noreply@blogger.com2
