Water Colored On the Grow
Ciao Bella,
I told you I was working on water coloring…well here it is ….Super,super simple and will be my workshop card for the Month of July …
Isn't it sweet …..and fast as well …..I left off a sentiment on purpose…because I couldn't decide if I wanted the card to be a thank or sympathy or what …this card lends it self to just about everything. The base of the card is Concord Crush and our fantastic water color paper… and of course the punch, which for the life of me at the moment, I can't think of the name …and if you look close …there are even a few pearls in there. The stamp Set is On the Grow from the Summer Mini Catty.
If you think you can't water color … you are wrong …with water color crayons and a blender pen you can create this and all sorts of beautiful water colors …..let me show you how….. I have classes and clubs just for this sort of thing …..
All you have to do is contact me and you are on your way
See you tomorrow …

Ciao Bella,
I'm still a little lost… but I have not forgotten you…..but I'm hoping to find my way in the next few weeks …so blogging and posting should get better soon…..I've got my soon to be release 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog….. and I have my pre order products, including the new In colors…..I can't wait…to show you….. I will let a little slip… the stamp set …Clearly for You …from the Occasions Mini… MADE IT into the "big catty"…..I'm so excited … I love that stamp set …..it was so much fun …..
here's a reminder pic …..jpg){kind=spacer}
just to let you know …I have been playing around with my water Color crayons …lately …and here is a little note book I made using Morning Cup …..and I have a few other projects and classes in mind using the water coloring technique ….I find it so relaxing and fits into the lazy days of summer …..
Anyway … before I go … I want to wish all the dads a Happy Father's Day tomorrow !!!!
Clear for teddy
Ciao Bella,
Yesterday, I showed you a 6×6 scrap page featuring the Clearly for you stamp set and said today I would show you another that was inspired from that little page…
Now this one is a little more over the top ….Because this page is a gift that a friend asked me to make for her…she wanted teddy bears,butterflies,baby in basket…..there is allot going on on this page
There are lots of Jewels and pearls as well. I am thinking the vintage trinket safety pin, needs a little something more …maybe a pink tiny knot…
Not only did I use the Clearly for You stamp set, I also used the Teddy & Train…And of course a lot of Big Shot Embossing Folder and Embosslettes, and the Scalloped Square Duo die… Punches …at least 4 different ones…and the color Spitzer tool…..This page is almost a stamp camp by it self …..Maybe I should have a class on vintage Scrap Pages … Hmm……
Let me know what you think ?

Trick or Treat But not something to eat
Ciao Bella,
Halloween is getting closer and close… those ghost and goblins will be spooking around in no time…Are you ready ?…
Today I have a No Candy treat that still is a sweet treat… this would be a perfect alternative for a class party, scouts party or any other event that you just might not want that much candy…..
Here is a close up of these super easy pencil treats
It is just 2 punches, 1 stamp set , ribbon and a little Smooch.
I used the Wicked Cool Stamp Set (120600 )pg 23 in the IB&C, and stamped my bats and cobwebs…and then gave it a little Smooch Spritz(1187700,pg. 195 of the IB&C….. oh I did this on 1 sheet of Crumb Cake Card stock … THEN I cut the card stock into the strips to make the pouches. I used the new Decorative Label Punch to out the Spooky , Punch out a few colorful Bats, add some ribbon and you done …..
Want even easier ? check these out
These were made with all punches and scraps…..Same supplies just no measuring … they were fun to make as well.
I got the pencils at a $1 store, so it makes the project very affordable for a group party.
Now if you like these but don't want to make them yourself, I will have these for sale at the Hinesville Oktober Fest on Friday October 15th and Saturday October the 16th…
I will also have Pumpkin Poop and Eyes Of Newt, Halloween Cupcake toppers, not to mention Christmas cards and gifts…I will also be demonstrating rubber stamping and how to use the Big Shot..
I hope to see you there…
Something Wicked this Way Comes
Ciao Bella,
I am so excited this morning… I was working on party favors for my "quick I need a favor Class" and I was looking for something a little different. Well thanks to my sister demo, Kimberly Van D., who inspired these grown up party favors…take a look
Aren't they so way cool…and way grown up …and they are meant to hang on one of those spooky decorative trees…but alas I don't have one of those…so I used what I had … here they are hanging …
OMWord, I just couldn't stop adding things to them I think I used just about every embellishment in the Holiday Mini Catalog….
This one is the simplest of them all …I used the Newsprint Designer Series Paper(117166) pg. 175 in the IB&C, for all the Treat Cones. The stamp set is Wicked Cool (120600)pg. 23 in the IB&C, the Bitty Bat punch (119279) on pg 201 in the IB&C. and I'm not sure if you can see it too well but I used Smooch Spritz in Log Cabin((119921) and Vanilla Shimmer (118772) , both are on pg. 195 in the IB&C…
This one has the new Waffle Paper, Champagne Glass Glitter, new Label Punch and the Raven Jewels…all from the Holiday Mini Catalog…and I'd list the catty numbers for you but my mini catty is in the car and it is raining Bats and Broom Sticks right now…lol
This one has the Raven Lace Trim and Extra Large Buttons from the Holiday Mini Catalog, and there is another Black Jewel on there. This one might be my favorite on to make.
This last one I have to admit I did go over the top …More Black Raven Lace Trim, Black Jewels, Designer Jewels Basic Pearls, Paper Daisies, Mini Vintage Tag, Vintage Trinkets and I used the New Clear Scalloped Rectangle Sizzlet from the Mini Catalog….
Are these not the most grown up Halloween Fun…you have ever seen…
As I said if you are signed up for my "quick I need a favor" class … you will get to make one of these …is that not the best …
Ok … also this week starts my 12 weeks of Christmas emails…my gift to you for being loyal customers and friends… If you are already receiving my monthly newsletter you are all set…If not , be sure to subscribe today so you don't miss a thing …there is a box up at the top of the page one the left hand side…just for my newsletter…

Just Believe…
Ciao Bella,
I'm still having fun with the Just Believe Stamp Set (120453) on pg. 109 in the Idea Book and Catalog…..
These were so easy to make, I just used my Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp to get a variety of colors….I'm telling you so so easy to make… I did leave the box in the center empty…I'm going to write the name of the person who is going to receive it in the box…just for that personalized touch…..

So that means that I will sell selling these kits and the proceeds will be used to purchase stamps, paper and ink or any other Stampin' Up products that the Kids at the Ronald MacDonald House want or need. With the Holidays right around the corner wouldn't be great to let these kids have a "glittery" good time …..So order you kit to help these kids enjoy the Holidays…

Courage and Sacrafice
Ciao Bella,
Today I have a super simple one layer card. It is a Thank You card to go with the Hinesville Stars and Stripes Quilt Guild Wounded Warrior Quilts. The guild will be making 75 quilts to be donated to the Winn Army Hospital here in Hinesville Ga for our warriors that were injured in Iraq.
.jpg)
I used Whisper White(100730) and Real Red(102482) Card Stock with Night of Navy Classic Ink ( 102977) and
the Stamp Set Courage(115330)
It's always good to get back to basics and remember that all you really need to make a great handmade card is STAMPS, PAPER and INK…
If you would like to purchase any of these or assist in making quilts for our Wounded please Email me at Sherry@sherrystampinbella.com
