Heya! I hope all of you are fine. Do you watch the soccer WM these days? Normally I do but I’m late with my posting today so I have to take a break and show you my newest Stampavie creation. It’s a bookmark with a sleeve.

I folded a sleeve matching to a bookmark from pattern paper with my ScorPal. I used a plate for the curve like my SU demonstrator did in one of our workshops. I added a Martha Stewart border and stamped the RAM Sentiment with VersaFine Vintage Sepia on watercolor paper. After that I cut out the wonderful Spellbinders tag and used the inner rectangle as template for my sentiment. I also added a Martha Stewart butterfly which has been decorated with gemstones.

For the bookmark itself I used pink Bazzill bling cardstock, watercolor paper and a SU punch. I just love the Helz Cuppleditch “Teddy say it with Flowers” image and I colored with…

… Distress refills. I’m not perfect with them, I’m still learning and trying but I think Teddy turned out supercute. I also stamped the image with VersaFine Vintage Sepia.

Another school year is coming to a close here where I live…it seems like just yesterday that it started! 

I needed a quick thank you card and so I pulled out one of my fave Stampavie images.  I ♥ the Loopy Lops bunny, but you may already know that!

Here’s the CAS (clean and simple) card I made.

And here’s a close-up of the sweet bunny image…

This reminds me of the sweetest little girl who brought me a pot with a single daisy in it today!  This card will be perfect.  :0)

Sympathy cards are hard aren’t they?  I love beautiful cards – but when I am making one for a friend, as a sympathy card it takes me forever. A dear friend lost her mother.. and I really wanted to make a special card for her. I spent three hours stressing over how to make this card.  I finally put it all together.

I used Stampavie’s Flower Planters by Helz Cuppleditch – really a lovely image, and perfect for this card I felt.

Colored with my copics -

The base is an off white card stock, then I stacked up LOTS of layers of Classic K designer papers from K& Company. Each layer matted with another pattern, and sewed with straight and zig zag stitches. I found a satin ribbon that matched perfect so I ran it as a band across the middle.

I also did the inside, with two layers of pattern paper, sewed – and my sentiment is stamped in brown and sewed as well. And another band of ribbon.

Have a wonderful weekend-

HUGS

I can’t tell you how much this image makes me smile – I just think it is too fun, and well just happy!

Now I got a new toy recently and haven’t gotten to play with it – a new Big Shot Pro. Whoo Hoo! But I needed some new dies for my new toy – so I ordered the new Sizzix Bag w/flower die. I thought this bag was so adorable when I saw it online, and thought what a cute way to give a gift. Small gift, so I ordered it. The finished bag measures 2.25 inches x 3.5 inches… LOL well maybe big enough for a gift card or money and that is a great gift :0)

So here is my “little” gift bag with the Flower Power Camper Van image by Stampavie and Helz Cuppleditch.

It is cute huh? I layered scraps of pattern paper and card stock and doodled the edges.. for that Flower power look…

My image is colored with my Copics, Spica Glitter Pens and gel pens. I then cut out the image out with my Fiskars fingertip craft knife.

The back of the die cut bag has this cute flower cut out, I made a small hole in the bag and used one of the petals as a closure for the bag. After I layered more scraps for decoration.

Ok, so it is a tiny bag, but I still think it has uses… and it is really cute. And I just love the Stampavie Flower Power Camper Van by Helz Cuppleditch – just really makes me want to put on some oldie music, find my tie dyed t-shirt and mellow out dude -  I Love it!

Hope you enjoyed it too :0)

TGIF!  Just a quick post today to share another project.  Here I used the image called Ruffles Puppy Spring Basket.  It’s from the Helz Cuppleditch collection…love those!

I used some bits and pieces that were die cut when I was trying out some of my friend’s dies.  (I think I need some of these)  ;0)

I also used a special Cuttlebug folder.  The checkerboard pattern gives the “grass” on the box some added texture.

Here’s the back side…I haven’t filled it yet but I have some of that white shredded stuff that should be perfect.

Have a great weekend!  I hope to enjoy this great weather we’ve been having!

Happy Thursday!  It will soon be the weekend again…yay! 

Today it’s my turn to post and here’s the card I made to share with you.  (Thanks for the positive responses on our 40 days of CHA samples and we listened when you said you were sad to see it end.  So we will try our best to continue posting a fresh new sample each day!)  Here I used one of the new Helz Cuppleditch images called Flower Planters.  It has such a warm, country feel!

I need to send out a few thank you notes and I think I may use this for one of them.   The front was left without a sentiment and I’ll write a personal message on the inside.

I used the same butterfly punch and some leftover paper scraps to decorate the inside a bit…

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone,

After a short holiday I am back in Holland and I am glad I can show you my samples I have made with the beautiful stamps of Helz Cuppleditch. You should look at the whole collection of Helz, she has made several beautiful stamps which you can use at any time!

The first card I want to show you is a card which I have made with a stamp called Flower Planters. The stamp is really giving me the fealing that a spring is coming soon.

This card is made with paper from Magnolia. The flowers are from Prima Marketing and the leaves are made with a punch from Martha Stewart. I always work with Distress Ink because I love the natural colours of the Ink. I just cann’t wait for the new colours to arrive.

The next card I want to show you is a card which I have made with the stamp called Easter Scenery. I have used brown / red colours because they give the card a warm, cosy feeling.

For this card I have used papers form Magnolia, flowers from Prima Marketing. The ribbon comes from a local shop. With several punches of Martha Stewart I have made the leaves. This card is also painted with Distress Ink.

For my last card I have made for the 40 Days of samples I have used a very cute stamp, it is called Ruffles Puppy Plaque.

It was not hard to make a card with this beautiful stamp of Helz Cuppleditch. The stamp is too cute! Again, I have used papers of Magnolia because I simply love the colours. The flowers and leaves on this card are all from Prima Marketing.

I sure hope you did enjoy, this a bit late, 40th day of CHA samples for Stampavie 2010!

Hugs,

Monique.

Wow! We already arrived at day 31 of our 40 days of CHA samples! Today I have another card for you and it’s made with one of the new Helz Cuppleditch images “Ruffles Puppy Spring Basket“.

Das Designpapier ist von Basic Grey, das fand ich total passend zu dem süßen neuen Helz Cuppleditch “Ruffles Puppy Spring Basket” Motiv. Die blaue Spitze passte so gut zum Designpapier! Der Spruch ist übrigens aus dem Rachelle Anne Miller Sentiments 1 Set. Der Cardstock ist gelber Core’Dinations Cardstock. Die Blumen sind mit den Nellie Snellen Blumenstanzern gemacht, da hat man ja auch immer passend zum Stanzer ein Prägetool. Gefällt mir persönlich echt gut. Die Ränder der Blumen habe ich in braun eingefärbt und die Blumen mit goldenen Spacern und blauen Brads verziert. Gelbe Strasssteine habe ich zur Abrundung des Layouts am Ende aufgeklebt.

The pattern paper is Basic Grey. I think it is perfect for the cute new Helz Cuppleditch “Ruffles Puppy Spring Basket” image as well as the blue lace. The sentiment is from the Rachelle Anne Miller’s Sentiments 1 set. The cardstock is yellow Core’Dinations cardstock. The flowers are made with the Nellie Snellen Flower punches. You also have a tool to emboss the petals which I really like. I inked the petal’s edges with brown and added some golden spacer and blue brads to them. In the end I added some yellow gemstones to finish the card’s layout.

So have you been enjoying the 40 days of Samples from the Stampavie DT BLOG? It is really awesome to know every day there is a new sneak peak posted from one of the DT – And today is my day! Day 22 – And I am showing off some Helz Cuppleditch images! I really ended up having quite a few of these cards made for CHA… 5 of the 10 new images released!

This first is Ruffles Puppy Spring Basket – I just love Ruffles.. he is so adorable – Since I am showing off 5 cards in one post – I won’t go into normal details on each card of what I used or how I made it, but please shoot me an email if you have any questions about a product okay?

I was so happy to see a cat in the Spring/Summer release this year! I love Ruffles.. but every good dog needs a cat too! This is Coco Cat Flowers – Really fun with those tiny little bees smelling the flowers!

And speaking of characters.. Loopy Lops is new for 2010’s Helz collections! There are three Loopy Lops images in this release, this is Loopy Lops Strawberry Fair! I bet she wins the blue ribbon for her jam! LOL mmm Strawberry jam is my personal favorite!

Also in this collection are some really wonderful “art” image. For those cards you don’t want to be quite so cute. You know what I mean? I love this one Celebration Table. Perfect for a wedding – anniversary – or birthday!

There are two plant images, really gorgeous art! And wonderful for a sentimental or sympathy card – I just love floral images – this one is titled Floral Planters. Just a simply beautiful image.

Remember please shoot me an email at michelleo@hughes.net if you have any questions about my cards and the products I used -

And I hope you are enjoying our samples.. pop back tomorrow as Jay Jay will be here showing off Penny Johnson!
