Sandy's Stampin' Safari!! On the hunt for the perfect Stampin' Up! project? Look no further, it is here!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday… And, another week has sped right on by J. Yikes!

Well, I did a little teaser for you yesterday. Here is the card that I showed a bit of today's card. I hope you are back to see the rest J.

I had a ton of fun creating this card. As you can tell, I "fed" off of this card that I had made the other day. And, that card was a feed off of one on page 51 in the Stampin' Up! Catalog.

To see all the details, head on over to the video. Details are there. Things in the video:

• The card from the other day I used the Circle Scissors Plus to create the circle. Today, I used the Big Shot. Either way works – it is more in what you own. The reason I went to the Big Shot this time was because I can cut a "whole" bunch of circles at one time. I think I did 6 this time. If I used the Circle Scissors Plus I can only cut one at a time. And, I was going to make 31 of these cards!

• The Kissing Technique

• Why My Patterned Paper is a 4" Square

• How to Trim the Semi Circle to perfectly fit the card

Using a Clear Bigz Die and a Teaser

How is your week going?  I am not sure, but this whole week I think it is a day ahead of what it really is.  So, thought it should be Friday.

The kids are off to a couple of days worth of camps.  I have to bring them and get them everyday.  But, whatever I can do to keep them busy.  Man, are they ready for school.  We did school shopping this week and Allison would start tomorrow if she could.

My teaser is this video.  Tomorrow I have a new video and the details of the card.  For today, a video on how to use a clear bigz die with the Big shot.  More than anything, it is an awareness thing.  If you do not have any clear dies, it is probably because you don't really know we have them.  Now you know :-)

Remember the special this week and the Blog Candy!!  Check both of them out here.

Have a fantastic day!  See you back here tomorrow.

Simply Said with Heart to Heart

Well, you know last week, the special with the hodge podge hardware came out. And, I went gaga over that. I guess it was a challenge meant for me.

So, this week I thought I would do some of the same. I have a card for you. about 10 times. But, it is the same card. I keep messing up. And, now the latest video that I shot kills my video program every time. I am NOT sure what is up with that. But, I wash my hands of this card. I am not doing another video of the card. I think me and the card are jinxed! So, I'll have to video a different card.

But, I do have a video for you. You can watch it. Laugh at my mess up if you must J. I was trying to say Circle Scissors Plus and all I could get out was Circle Circus. I could have re-recorded it, but I think it is fine. And, we are human, right?????

On to the card.

I hope you like it. I looked at the Simply Said set in the catalog, I think page 51. There was a card in there similar to this. Different colors. So, I chose my colors based on the Razzleberry Lemonade Paper. And, knew I had to incorporate the Heart to Heart Punch.

Ingredients:

Stamp Set: Simply Said

Ink: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie

Extras: Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon, heart to heart punch, scallop circle punch, clear rhinestone brads, 1/16" hole punch, dimensionals, Circle Scissors Plus

I do have a video for you on how to use the Circle Scissors Plus.

I hope you are having a great Tuesday. Mine started out a big rocky. I knew I had to get up on time – kid had to be at the dentist at 8 AM. I am getting up and get a call from Tom – my car (that he was driving to work) died on him a few miles from work. Good thing he was able to drive it to a service station. So, there it is. I had to get him and get him to work. And, organize Sean and his dentist appointment. I enlisted a little help from the neighbors (thanks LeAnn and Alyssa!) and we got it all accomplished. That is why I work from home J.

Sunday, a Day Off

Stampin' gals – today I am taking a rest for blogging for church and family. Stop by tomorrow for the final of the six projects and for BLOG candy!!

Card 5.....

Sorry this post is so late.  I just got out of bed for the day :-). Last night was the Relay for Life event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It covers two counties – Lincoln and Minnehaha. This is the second year we have walked and stayed out there all night long. I don't vow to stay awake, though.  But, I only slept for about 45 minutes.  We walked for all of you that are dealing with or have dealt with the evil "c".

I have a couple of things to show you in the video today. How about that ribbon on the side? You like it? You see it in the new catalog here and there. I thought it looked pretty neat.

Number 4 and it is FRIDAY already!

I had a lot of fun making this card. I knew I wanted to use the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. And, I had a lot of the square gadgets n the hodgepodge hardware let. I want to work the two together. But, most of the stamps in the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set are wider than the square gadget. So, I found a work around.

I have followed the other cards with the same random stamping. The only new thing used here is the Designer Label Punch.

Watch the video – you'll see how all the pieces fit together J.
