Chipboard Wall Decor and 2 Step Bird Punch

Hi! I'm back from time away....but recently I have been digging away in the craft studio and trying this and that.
Here is what I recently came up with....

I found some chipboard squares - about 6x6 inches. And I created these because I wanted a project for my 2 Step XL Bird Punch and these cute phrase stamps which are all quotes concerning women. Then I just went hary-kary with my supplies, and it was really what-ever fell into place!

Here's my first one in a bright yellow! It's got a new home with our Property Manager Marilyn's office wall!

Below you can really see the smooch in gold I sprayed on the keyhole plaque. The plaque sits on a supporting back, and for a mysterious effect - I stamped the words again so you can seem them peeking through the keyhole!

Now here is my pink version.

Same idea - just different decorations!

This one I used our Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder, and rubbed white then Rose Red or Choc Chip over the raised surface (see around edges)....and I scrolled the greeting - that was fun!

Hope you try one yourself!

See ya later!

YNS Challenge #3 YNSC3

Hi folks, Having fun this week playing with my fav summer theme of sea creatures! And to justify it even more, I am playing along with YOUR NEXT STAMP's CHALLENGE #3 "Anything Goes"! You can see their challenge details HERE ! Deadline is Weds. midnight. I already was toying with ideas involving 3D projects lately and wanted to do something within a frame, and so I put two'n'two together and here is my entry....my " Mermaids Playing in the Sun Shadow Box ". The frame was one I had for awhile, maybe two years? And my stamps from Your Next Stamp are the adorable mermaid set, Happy Birthday Mermaid which I acquired about two years ago also! Coincidence - I think not! LOL! Later I plan to embellish this even more once I find my darn box of tiny shells! Maybe some charms? Heck who knows! :) I am going to write up a more detailed post about creating this by the week-end, so return here if you care for that. Tomorrow I am going to be trainin...

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST Stampin' Up! Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock.

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements. Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol. Cute Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE 1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2. I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped my lil' WALRUS on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle of Whisper White cardstock - then while I "maske...
