MDS - Zachary at the Waterpark

2011-07-14T06:00:00.005-04:00

This is my youngest, Zachary. He was 1.5 years old and LOVED the water! My older boy wouldn't go in to the waterpark until he was probably 4! Not Zachary! He loved it from the first time! It was so cute to watch!

Another Stationary Box - Delicate Doilies

2011-07-13T06:00:00.005-04:00

Ok, so I must admit that I now love making these Stationary Boxes. Here is another that I made for my daycare provider for her birthday. She loved it!

Stationary Box - Cottage Wall

2011-07-12T06:00:00.002-04:00

I created this Stationary Box for my son's Senior Kindergarten teacher's end of school gift. I somehow managed to wait last minute to make it - ie the night before! This was the first (ahem second...) time making one. The real first time, I messed up because of the scoring and then gave up. At the time, I didn't have a scoring board like my Score-Pal. I only had the Friskar's trimmer with the scoring tool. It was so much easier making this with a scoring board!

Oh my, it's been a long time!!!

2011-07-11T13:34:00.002-04:00

I can't believe that I have not posted in a year and a half. That is down right shameful! I am going to try to rectify the situation and start being a better blogger.

So, today I will start being a better blogger by sharing with you this extremely cute Rag Bag that I made with Stampin' Up! fabric that is now available in our 2011-2012 Idea Book. I am so happy that SU has added fabric to the product line! I actually had a dream years ago where I was walking into a room somewhere and there was reams of fabric from Stampin' Up! I was thinking when I woke up, what a strange dream. Why on earth would SU have fabric! Well, I guess that dream was a premonition!

This bag was created using the Big Shot. I cut out 88 Scallop Squares of the Flirtatious SU fabric which contains 3 patterns. The colours in the fabric are Mambo Melon, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, and Wisteria Wonder which is a new 2011-2013 In-Colour. You can find the instructions on Julie Edmond's website. I changed the dimensions a bit because I used the smaller scallop square die.

FLIRTATIOUS SCALLOP SQUARE RAG BAG SUPPLIES:

Batting – (44) 2.25" Squares of white Quilters Dream Cotton Batting
Fabric – Flirtatious Designer Fabric (#122335, $12.50)
Handles – 1 meter nylon strapping from fabric store
Accessories – button, Mambo Melon dotted grosgrain ribbon (retired)
Tools – Big Shot, Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die (#120903, $26.95), sewing machine

DSP Weekly Agendas!

2009-06-21T14:55:00.006-04:00

Have I told you guys yet how much I love covering things with DSP??? Well, I do! Last week, I had an idea for a great way to show off our wonderful DSP - Weekly Agendas!

I created the pages in InDesign and then made covers out of DSP covered Cardstock. They even have holidays, birthdays, anniversarys, and can have any important date easily added. I did three different variations. An 8.5" by 5,5" agenda stapled together, a 4.25" by 5.5" stapled together, and a 4.25" by 5.5" bound with the Bind-it-all.

I plan on selling these Oct-Dec for Christmas. If anybody is interested now, please let me know and we can discuss! You can choose any designer paper you like as well as choose the ribbon and print colour!

Father's Day card

2009-06-21T14:51:00.003-04:00

This is a card I did at a workshop to show off the Big Shot! I cased it from Michelle. It was so easy to make and is a real WOW card! :) I used Top Notes die and Harlequin Texturz.

I just can't help myself!

2009-06-11T13:11:00.005-04:00

I can't stop making Gerber Daisies!! They are just so gosh darn cute! I made these for another co-worker! :) I just love the colours together! They may not be realistic colours, but I like them anyways!

Daisy Crazy!

2009-06-10T08:36:00.009-04:00

I am not sure if you can tell, but I am totally in love with the Flower, Daisy #2 die for the Big Shot! I have been making daisies every night when I get home from work! Yesterday, I discovered a tutorial to make Gerber Daisies! While showing some of the daisies I had made to a co-worker, I discovered that she LOVES red Gerber Daisies! So, what did I do? I went home and made her a bouquet of red Gerber Daisies!
I found the tutorial here! It was so easy to do and the resulting flower is so pretty!

Progression of an Obsession!

2009-06-05T07:42:00.005-04:00

I first was introduced to Stampin' Up! about 2.5 years ago. A friend who was getting married had been to one of the Bridal Shows here in Ottawa and she signed up for a class to learn how to make your own invitations. Knowing that I liked doing things like that and I would be "helping" her make them, she brought me with her. All I knew was that we were going to learn about making invitations. I didn't know that it was a Stampin' Up! thing. To be honest, I really knew nothing much about SU back then anyways. When we got to the Demonstrators house, she led us down to her Studio. WOW! A whole basement that was wall to wall her stamping/scrapbooking area. I was overwhelmed with everything on display! Cards cards everywhere! I knew this was something that I would love!

After that class, I was very excited to order everything for my friends invitations. I kept rushing her to pick out of the catalogue! This was the end of November. Enter December and I am getting the itch to make Christmas cards. I wanted to stamp NOW! I had ordered Christmas stamps in November, but not paper or ink. I didn't want to wait to order. I was desperate. Someone I know told me about a friend of hers might have some paper and ink to sell me. Her friend, and now my upline and good friend, sold me what I needed to make the cards! She also sat me down and had me stamp something while I was there! She's like that! I was more hooked than ever!

I now have TONS of stuff! So much that I need to get more storage! IKEA is my friend! I just need money now! :)

I will post more on my Renovation plans soon!

Take care!

New Look! What do you think?

2009-06-03T20:46:00.006-04:00

So, in hopes of keeping this blog going and getting lots of readers, I decided to give it a facelift! Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! I need readers to start up Blog Candy, so come on! Spread the word that Jenn's Stamping Blog is worth the read!

Feeling Creative Today!

2009-06-02T22:25:00.010-04:00

I made this coaster album for a friend at work. I took the pictures of her son. The faces are blurred out of respect for my friend as she doesn't like photos of her son online.
I absolutely love covering coasters with DSP! There is something so satisfying about it! If you would like to make one of these beautiful coaster albums, I will be having a class sometime in June or July! Please contact me for more information!

DSP: Manchester
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip
Ink: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White (Craft)
Embellishments: 5/8 Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, 5/8 Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain Ribbon

Desktop Stationary Box with scalloped envelopes

2009-06-02T11:10:00.004-04:00

I created this cute little box for a co-worker. I used 4 scalloped envelopes from the Big Shot die and then covered a coaster with matching DSP. The envelopes where glued together by the edges of the envelope. Then I glued down the flap to show it on the outside. For the base, I glued a 4x4 square of DSP to a coaster and then sanded down the edges and corners. Once the box was complete, I glued it on to the coaster.

For the squares, I designed them in Illustrator and printed them out 6 to a sheet. Then I cut them down to 3 1/8. I think I printed 30 copies. It took about 20 minutes to cut them all down to size.

Ok, so I have been slacking!

2009-06-01T10:09:00.000-04:00

But I have a good reason - I think! You see, I went back to work after Mat Leave last October.

Now that I have adjusted to life back at work, I figure I should really take this blogging thing seriously! :)

Watch for pics for my stamping area reno! Very exciting!

Wedding Set - Thank You card

2008-10-07T20:46:00.001-04:00

Well, I missed a day or two or 5, but I've been sleeping! :)

So, I am doing Wedding invitations for a friend and she wanted some Thank You's for her Engagement Party. This is what I have come up with. It matches the Engagement Party invitation which I will post eventually. I love using Baroque Motifs for Weddings!

Christmas Cards

2008-10-02T16:12:00.002-04:00

Here are some Christmas Cards that I made today. They are cased from places here and there, but I don't know where. :( Sorry!

Keeping my word...

2008-10-02T10:03:00.000-04:00

A blog post for the second day in a row! Woo hoo!

I am making a bunch of Christmas Card samples today. I have been given the opportunity to have a Craft Sale table at my place of work in November! I am so excited. This will be my first event! So, I have to fill up a display board to bring with me. I'm not sure what else I will be displaying besides cards, but I am sure I will come up with something!

Stay tuned for my Christmas Card samples!

I want to blog, I do!!!

2008-10-01T19:25:00.000-04:00

Ok, so I created this blog, but I have really not given it the attention it deserves! So, I am going to try to post once a day to see if I can become a regular blogger! Hopefully I will get some followers to help keep me going! If I start getting people reading, then I can start giving away blog candy! Wouldn't that be cool!

Card for my Mother-in-Law's birthday!

2008-04-25T12:58:00.002-04:00

I was browsing blogs that a regularly visit yesterday and came across this, which she cased from this. So, I decided to case it for my Mother-in-Law's 60th birthday. I love how it turned out. It is probably my best card yet!

Cardstock: Barely Banana, Brocade Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Versa Mark, Brocade Blue, Bashful Blue
Embellishments: 5/8" Brocade Blue Grosgrain Ribbon
Techniques: Clear Embossing

Ok already!

2008-04-25T12:56:00.000-04:00

So, it has been nearly 3 months since I became a Demonstrator!! And just as long since I set up this Blog. Good thing I don't have any readers yet, because they would have disappeared weeks ago! I am going to try my best to be a good blogger! I just need to sit down once every day or so and post! :) Now I have to find some readers!

I did it!

2008-02-25T14:27:00.000-05:00

Well, the inevitable has happened! I am now a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! I was introduced to SU about a year and a half ago. From that moment, I knew I would eventually be a SU Demo! I thought it would be a few years down the road...

So, now lets see if I can be a successful blogger with this new endeavor! I have had two (1, 2) blogs in the past that I had a hard time keeping updated. Go Jenn Go!!!

Stay tuned for new posts and bug me if I start slacking!

To be or not to be!

2008-02-04T12:00:00.000-05:00

I am seriously considering becoming a Stampin' Up Demonstrator! Right now, the Start Up kit is discounted and you get a free stamp set! I really feel that this is something I can do and be successful at and bring in a little extra money for the family!

If I do go ahead with it, I am going to have to resurrect this Blog! I need to be a better blogger! :)

My New Stampin' Area!

2007-06-20T19:09:00.000-04:00

Here is a photo of my brand new shelves for my stampin' area! Everything is nice and organized now instead of covering my table. Next purchase - new table!!

Busy, busy, busy!

2007-03-02T14:24:00.000-05:00

I haven't posted in a while... I will be posting some more photos soon! I made a container for my ribbon samplers! It is cute!! I will be posting that soon!!

Valentines

2007-02-12T20:48:00.000-05:00

Here is a little gift I made for Jacob's daycare provider. It consists of a nugget box with Hershey's Nuggets, a bag of Kisses, and a card - all in a purse tote.

Glittery Hearts

Organizing!

2007-02-05T09:42:00.000-05:00

I saw this at my favourite Demonstrators' place a couple of weeks ago! It is a good way to organize your stamps and know what belongs in each set!

Another Nugget box!

2007-02-04T22:14:00.000-05:00

I made this box as a thank you to my SIL! :) I love making these! I am going to make a whole bunch for Valentines Day!

My new Blog!

2007-02-04T21:55:00.002-05:00

Well, seeing as I recently got into stamping, I thought I would start a Blog to display all of my creations!

Here is something made for a friends wedding favours:

They are these cute little boxes that hold three Hersheys Nuggets! They are very easy to make. You can find instructions here.
