Little Twinkle for Facebook Live

Hello friends! Today on my weekly Facebook Live, I created three projects featuring the Little Twinkle Bundle from the new Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog. This is a fun set for welcoming new babies, weddings or just to tell someone that you love them. I especially like the soft color combo in this suite, which showcases some of the new colors: Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. 

 By the way, there is a link the the end of this blog post with a PDF file which has all of the measurements for the projects along with a supply list.

 My first project was a sweet card to welcome a new little bundle of joy to the family. I just love the punch in this suite and those adorable adhesive-backed star sequins! 
 Next up, I created this little flameless tea light holder. I saw a similar project from another SU Demo online and apologize because I can’t remember who it was. If you know, please share it in the comments below. I remembered the project having open “sides” so that what what I modeled my measurements after. 

I think these could be fun table favors at wedding or baby showers…or just a sweet gift to tell someone special that they are loved. 
Lastly, I made this little gift card holder which also is an adorable shaker card. Super easy to create using the Twinkle Builder Punch. 
The sentiment is heat embossed in silver for some added fun! 

All of the products I used to create the projects will be listed along with the measurements. 

Also, if you put in an order in my online store ($30 minimum) by Tuesday July 3rd, 2018 at midnight, I will send you these three make and takes for free! You will receive all of the supplies to create the projects but it will NOT include any stamped images (per Stampin’ Up! policy).  

Please use Hostess Code EWXJD6XT 

That’s how I will know that you ordered and will make sure that you get your make and takes. ($30 minimum)
If your order is over $150, please DO NOT use the Hostess Code, so that you can earn the Hostess Rewards. I will still send you the make and takes, along with an extra gift. 

Remember, orders must be placed by Tuesday July 3rd, 2018 at midnight for these make and takes. 


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed these projects. Remember that I’ll be back on Facebook Live next Thursday July 5th at 2:30pm CST, so be sure to join me then. Until next time...

Have a HAPPY day! 
-Anne Marie

Celebrating the 200th Challenge at The Paper Players!

Hello there stamping friends! I am so excited to be back after a week off to celebrate our new challenge at the Paper Players! Can you believe this is the 200th challenge? Wow! I started working with these amazing gals in November 2010 as a Guest Designer (Challenge #23). I was asked to become a permanent member of the Design Team in December 2010 and have enjoyed every single minute of working with these fabulous ladies.

This week, in honor of this milestone challenge, we are having some fun. Here are the details:

  • The Design Team members are sharing new projects created from past challenges this week. 
  • We are asking participants to create a project from ANY past Paper Players challenge. There are a LOT to chose from. Just make sure to add the challenge photo to your blog, so we know which you selected and a link back to the Paper Players blog. 
  • In addition to selecting our regular Cut Above and Headliner winners, we will also be randomly drawing one lucky winner to receive ALL of the Design Team cards from this week's challenge. Whoo hoo for happy mail! :) 
For my card for this week's challenge, I decided to go with a fabulous sketch that my friend Jaydee created for Paper Players Challenge #61. Pictured below is my original card for the challenge, which has always been one of my favorite cards.
For the new card using the sketch, I went with a completely different theme and created a fun baby card using the Zoo Babies stamp set. anyone who knows me well knows I have a slight obsession with giraffes. I love, love, LOVE them! I am also smitten with the new SU In Colors of Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss, as I seem to be using them a LOT lately.
Here is a quick photo of the inside of the card, including a tiny monkey, waving at YOU:

Before I sign off, I wanted to share a photo (or "photoshopped" photo) of little Gidget on the court with her favorite NBA team. Doesn't she look serious? Haha! Game 5 of the NBA Finals is on tonight and we are rooting for our San Antonio Spurs to win it all. GO Spurs GO!

Hello Honey Duck for Paper Players #197

Hello and Happy Sunday! LeAnne has designed a really fun sketch for us this week at The Paper PlayersI always enjoy having a great sketch as a starting point for a card. It really helps get the creative mojo working. 

I really wanted to play around with some of the new In Colors that will be in the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalog. The Moonlight Designer Series Paper Pad has some awesome patterns with the new colors, so I started there. Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey are two colors that look SO pretty together! Perfect for a baby card, using the new Something for Baby set, too. That little duck is so stinking cute! 
The little banner sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and it was the perfect size. I added the Lost Lagoon ribbon at the very end because the card needed something there to fill the space. Since this card will be paired with a gift for a friend, I thought that layer with the ribbon kind of looked like a gift box. Maybe? Just me? Ok, I tried. Ha! I really like how this one came out and I hope you do too. Leave me a comment and let me know. I'd love to hear from you. :) 
Please join us over at the Paper Players!  The challenge is open through Friday, May 30th, 2014 at Noon (PDT)Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week. Have a great day!

Something for Baby for Paper Players #195

Hello stamping friends! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! This week at the Paper Players, we have a fun color trio brought to you by Sandy. I decided it would be a fun to make a baby card with the brand new Something for Baby stamp set, which also has coordinating die cuts to go along with it. It will be coming out in the new Stampin' Up! catalog in June. The sentiment is also from a new set called Something to Say.
For my layout, I was inspired by Narelle's awesome sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches
There are lots of layers on this card. Shocking, right? Ha! I also had a little trouble getting the sentiment to fit, so I stamped it on the little wooden circle for something a little different. I haven't used those little wooden accents yet and I really like how it adds an extra pop of dimension to the card. I added the little silver hanger at the last minute and after I did all I could think about was maybe I shouldn't have. Did you see the movie Mommie Dearest? Wire hangers are NOT necessarily always a good thing. Eeek! 
Here is a quick look at the inside of the card. I smudged a little ink on the bottom left corner, so I added the punched detail so I wouldn't have to redo it. Phew!
Please join us over at the Paper Players!  The challenge is open through Friday, May 16th, 2014 at Noon (PDT)Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week. Have a great day!
