ic132 on splitcoaststampers

I went out with friends tonight and came home wide awake. I checked to see if the ic challenge was up and sure enough it was. Can you guess which ic piece I went with?

Here's more info on the ic132.

I used acetate which I love. So fun now that I know you need to use stazon to stamp on it. It'll never dry if you just use the white craft. Also after I stamped the circles in the white stazon I took daubers and dabbed them in the groovy guava and soft sky separately for all but two circles. Two circles I dabbed in both colors and got a muted green like color.


My recipe:

Stamps: live your dreams, great shapes(retired)

Ink: Groovy guava on top of the white stazon, same with the soft sky, white stazon, brown stazon for the inside.

Paper: Groovy guava, soft sky, acetate,

Monogrammed Tumbler for my friend Darla

Well it's been a really busy week which is good but tiring. We're taking a friend out tonight for dinner to wish her well. She's moving and I'm so sad. It was a tough one to make and of course I wish her well. I know I'll still see her but just not as often. We usually meet up on fridays for a walk and coffee. sometimes just a walk and most times It's just for an hour or so. It's just enough time though to catch up on things. I will truly miss it.

This is a Tumbler from Starbucks. I thought it fitting to use my like it a latte set. I used paper prints designer paper from stampin up. I stamped live your dream flowers and butterflies on it. I used Groovy guava ink. I wanted it to be a tone on tone. Then I stamped the mug and words from like it a latte using brown stazon. THen using my versamarker I colored in the mucha on top and used white embossing powder on top and embossed it. I embossed the D too. I colored in the straw with regal rose and lastly I used clear glaze emboss pens to go over the straw and the rim of the cup. It just gives it a little texture so it looks more real. I think anyway. It was fairly easy to do. Maybe it'll be a reminder of our talks and we'll stay in touch better. Thanks for stopping by: Terry

Another Name frame for a customer

Here's another name frame I did for a customer. My Neighbors neice is getting married and this will be part of her gift. Her wanted a beach feel and to use flip flops but make it elegant since it was for a wedding gift. I really Love the way it turned out.

I bought the frame at Wal-mart and used a smaller frame since the name was really small. I did a glittered oval scallop punch out for them. They Can put a picture there or leave it as is. When you lift off the back the one pair of flip flops are stuck to the back board. The flipflops are on using dimensionals so moving them would be easy enough if they wanted to put a picture but keep the flipflops on the frame too.

I ran the appricot back piece of card stock through my xyron and stuck the designer paper on then sprinkled the dazzling diamonds on to make it a glitter frame.

My Recipe is:

Stamps: Flipflops are from Michaels, natural beauty words, live your dream sentiment, Love from wonderful words.

Ink: Blue frost spectrum pad apricot appeal, certainly celery,

Paper, textured appricot appeal, brocade blue, dp is from creative imaginations,

Accessories: Fairytale ribbon, Diamond stickles, both oval punches, oval scallop punch, coluzzel ,

Just moved cards for customer

These are for the same customer as the gift set below was for. Like I said she's been keeping me happily busy. I made 40 of these. The goal was not to have it too bulking to mail. As you can hopefully see I wheeled the back flap of the envelope too. I went on splitcoaststamper and looked for a verse for the inside and found a few. The customer picked this one,

We've moved accross town, but we haven't gone far.
Here's a little note so you'll know where we are!

Then their info was under it.

I'm pleased with the result. I hope she is. Thanks for stopping by: Terry

Gift set for customer

This is for a customer of mine. I've been doing a ton of stuff for her. I recently did a gift set similar for her older daughter's birthday. This gift set is for her younger daughter. I delivered them today. Here is the link to the part of my blog for how to make the flower that I did using the oval punches.


Here's the Tutorial on coaster gift boxes on splitcoaststampers. Mine is similer but I make mine into a pen/pencil holder. I do mine a little different. 1. I don't use modge podge I run my designer paper through my xyron and stick it to the coaster then I sand the edges smooth. 2. I only put two holes on each side of the coasters. 3. I use crystal effects from Stampin up to adhere it to the bottom. I do use the Crop a dial which they use too, It' is a must to make the holes in the chipboard. The last thing I do for making the box I cut two separate coasters half way down the center and then interlock them together and put them in the middle of the box. That will give you 4 spaces for the pens and pencils to be. I hope this will help you if you want to make one. Thanks for stopping by: Terry

I've been Tagged

I'm it!

Dawn Mercedes of Amusing Musings & Things

tagged me. It looked like fun so read on if you will.

1) Ten years ago: I became a first time mom to My sweet preemie baby girl. My daughter Alexandra was almost 13 weeks early and weighed only 2lbs. It was a rough time but at the same time the most exciting time too. I learned alot about how strong I was and how secure my marriage was too. My husband was my rock and still is.
2) 5 things in todays ”to do”-list- : Well, today is a lot calmer then yesterday.

A. Today I will drop my daughter off to school. I do that every day because there aren’t any school buses until she gets to high school.(Just 4 more years to go!!!)

B. I’ll go for my daily walk and come home.

C. I’m in the middle of doing moving cards and a gift set of monogrammed cards for a customer so I’ll get busy doing them.

D. I do want to run to Michaels crafts to look for accessories For a name frame I’ll be working on for a different customer.

E. I have to put the dreaded laundry away at some point today. Not too exciting today.


3) Snacks I enjoy: I’m on Jenny Craig for Life, so for now I’m in love with their chocolate walnut brownie. It seems to be working. I am down 47lbs.



4) Things I would do if I was a millionaire: I would first go on a well needed vacation. Second I would throw a Hugh party and spoil some of my closest friends. Third I would really love to have a BMW dept free. Then the most important is, I will invest a lot into my Daughters college years. I’ll definitely spoil my Hubby some too.

5) Places I have lived:

1. Washington state(I was born there)

2. Carversville PA

3. Danboro PA

4. Flemington NJ

5. Frenchtown NJ. (Current)

Now...who will be next? Here are five: It's your turn girls to join the fun. I love your blogs and just wanted to share.

Candy Airplane

Here's a gift I did for a friend. I just found out from his wife that his birthday had passed . He loves Airplanes so I went on looking splitcoaststampers for airplane cards so I could at least make him a belated birthday card. I came across MCCFipps
gallery on splitcoaststampers with this idea. I didn't have any airplane stamps so I thought this would work nicely. I had to substitute the one stick of gum for a larger pack and the smarties base for a lifesavers pack. I used rubber bands to hold the gum and the lifesavers together. I also used some individual wrapped lifesavers for the wheels.


My recipe is:
Stamps: alphabits (retired from stampin up) , small sayings,

Paper: Designer paper outlaw stampin up', chocolate chip,
Ink: Brown stazon, computer ink,

accessories: both tag punches, window punch for the propeller, 1/4 inch circle punch, 1/2 inch circle punch, build a brad, brown gingham ribbon(non su) pop up glue dots and mini gluedots, xyron for attaching the ribbon, rubberbands, lifesavors, gum,

Technique: Airplaine

My Daughters school had their walk a thon today and my Earhart Designs signed up to be a sponsor for them. It was good advertisement for me too.

candle favors for My gift for mom stamp camp I hosted.

These were the favors I gave everyone who came to my gift for mom stamp camp I bought the candles from Michaels for $1.00. and decorated them up. They had a ton of them in all different colors. It worked out great because the colors they had matched the Designer paper afternoon tea from Stampin up that I used for the camp. Except for the purple ones I just got them just because. To decorate them I used white stazon and stamped right on the glass with the thank you from all holidays and the butterflies were from the live your dream from the stampin up set.

On the top I used baroque motifs stampin up set using the SU scallop punch to punch it out. Lastly I used the stitched ribbon to match again except for the purple one. I found grosgrain ribbon to match that one.
If you want, You can find the photo brag book that we did for the camp under March in my blog

Address book for New New Neighbor

Here's an Address Book I designed up for my New Neighbors. I'm just so Happy that they seem super nice and have lots of plans for the old house. It was empty for a while and needed a lot of work just to be good for moving in. They are really young getting married next month. We introduced ourselves a couple of weeks ago and I told her I wouldn't be baking her anything. Because she really wouldn't want me too because I'm not so good at it but I'm very crafty and told her I'd design her a gift. I thought for a New house a new address book would be good. I don't know her style but hopefully they'll like it.
