Tickets of Thanks

Posted on February 18, 2013 by amyoneillblog

I’d mentioned in a previous post that I was attending the Stampin’ Up! regional event in Dallas on Saturday. As usual, Stampin’ Up! put on a great event! There were great demonstrations, tips, and stamping. And of course there was swapping! Here is one set of swaps I made for the day. I made 28 of them, and I’ll be happy to not use my paper piercer again for a while. 🙂

Here is a close-up picture for you.

I hope you have a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

A Feminine Thank You

Posted on January 29, 2013 by amyoneillblog

I absolutely love the Tea for Two Suite in the Spring catalog. It is so feminine and Spring-y. There are lots of fun elements too — flower trim, lace doilies, pearls, etc… And I adore the colors! So I decided to play with this suite yesterday on a gloomy, gray day.

I hope you get to play with your stamps today. Enjoy your Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by!

A Row of Butterflies — FabFri09

Posted on January 4, 2013 by amyoneillblog

It’s time for another Fab Friday challenge after having been on a short break for the Christmas holiday. Mindy has a great sketch challenge for this week.

I immediately thought of snowflakes when I saw this sketch, but my heart wanted to do something more Spring-y. Maybe it’s because of all of the cold and gray weather we’ve been having lately, and I’m looking forward to Spring already.

Here’s another card with some fun new products from the Sping catalog. I used the new Bitty Butterfly punch, which layers perfectly with the Elegant Butterfly punch in the annual catalog. And I also used some of the new Delicate Details Lace Tape, which comes in two designs and has a self-adhesive backing, so it’s easy to attach to your projects.

Here’s a closer look at the tape and butterflies:

Enjoy your Friday! I hope you can find some time to play along with us in the Fab Friday challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Hello! Spring Catalog — Sneak Peek

Posted on December 16, 2012 by amyoneillblog

I received my pre-order for the new Spring catalog last week and I have been good about not playing with it, until now. I made myself promise that I wouldn’t get into it until I finished my Christmas crafting, because I knew that once I went down the Spring road it would be hard to come back to Christmas. I’m close, but not quite done with my Christmas stamping, but I just couldn’t resist today — I felt like I needed a little treat. Oh, discipline is so NOT fun! 🙂

I wanted to play along with the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I thought this new stamp set, called Oh, Hello would be perfect (plus, I just really wanted to play with it). There are also a couple of other sneak peeks with this card — some new oval framelits dies, some new dsp called Tea for Two, and another set of new framelits which has some cute banner shapes. So save your Christmas money — the new Spring catalog goes live on January 3.

Enjoy your Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!
