PETAL CONE #5 and FUN FLOWERS

Thanks for stopping by!  Your visits are greatly appreciated.

Loving the two new Stampin' Up! Bigz Dies in the Occasions Mini Catalog, I had to make another 3-D item with the Dies -- a door hanger.  The Petal Cone Bigz Die is absolutely so much fun to use as you can make so many items with it.  And the new Fun Flowers Bigz Die is equally as much fun.  I think using the two together creates awesome art! 

I created this door hanger for a workshop hostess, Michelle.  I hope she enjoys it as much as I did creating it.

I created the door hanger with one of my favorite card stock colors, Rose Red.  I also used the beautiful, new Stampin' Up! fabric from the Springtime Vintage collection.  After running the Petal Cone Die, card stock, and fabric through the Big Shot (a must have tool), I used the Anywhere Glue Stick to adhere the fabric to the card stock (the Glue Stick works wonderfully on the fabric).  Next, I adhered one side of the cone together using Sticky Strip.  Before adhering the other side of the cone, I inserted in the bottom of the cone two pieces of Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon, which is new in the Occasions Catalog.

I used the Fun Flowers Bigz Die to cut and create the three flowers made with the Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper and hot-glued them onto Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon-covered bamboo skewers.  The center of the flowers were embellished with the Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor Melon Mambo Buttons that are part of the FREE Ribbon & Button Pack when you purchase $50 in products or host a $300 net-sales workshop.  I also used the Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon to create the handle of the door hanger.

Finally, I used the angel stamp from the Clearly for You stamp set to stamp on two of the scalloped flaps with Whisper White craft ink and White Embossing Powder.

In this post, all Stampin' Up products are listed with a direct link to each product.  Don't waste time searching for item numbers; click on the blue links to go directly to the items.

Enjoy the door hanger!

God's Blessings!

PETAL CONE #4 - WALL SCONCE

Today's share is my last for the Stampin' Up! Petal Cone Bigz Die, or at least for a while.  It is a wall sconce with flowers.  I used the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric to cover the Petal Cone.  The Anywhere Glue Stick is wonderful for adhering fabric to card stock.  I embellished the Petal Cone with the new Stampin' Up! Baja Breeze Glass Glitter (love this color!) and Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon.

The wall sconce is filled with flowers made with the new Fun Flowers Bigz Die, Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper, Springtime Vintage Big Designer Buttons, and the Baja Breeze Glass Glitter.  The pictures were taken with the Sconce hanging on my wall.  Enjoy!

Enjoy your weekend and come back Monday!

PETAL CONE #3 - NAME TAG

Hope everyone had a blessed weekend!  Gee, the weather in Central Florida is a little rough today.  The folks north of me had small hail earlier today....IN FLORIDA!!  The wind was strong enough that it blew down one of my downspouts!

Now, to the fun stuff!!  Yesterday I had a private workshop in my home for previous hostesses and special friends.  WE HAD A BLAST! 

For each guest, I made a name tag using the Stampin' Up! Bigz Die, Petal Cone, which I dry embossed with the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Empossing Folder.  I used Real Red card stock to create the name tag and the new Stampin' Up! Fun Flowers Bigz Die and the Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper to create the flowers on the front of the the tags.  The "banner" from the Petal Cone Bigz Die was perfect to place the name of each each guest.  I adhered it to the back of the name tag; therefore, each guest got to enjoy the floral front of the tag while the others could see her name. 

I am so in love with the Petal Cone Die!!  I promise you will have fun with it when you purchase it!  Enjoy!!

This picture is of us having fun (I'm not in it as I was behind the camera).

Those guests who didn't show up missed out on a lot of FREE goodies!

COME BACK TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT I FEATURE!

God's Blessings!

PETAL CONE BIGZ DIE #2

The Stampin' Up! Petal Cone Bigz Die is quite versatile as the things you create with it are limited to your imagination.  I have to admit that I did not purchase the die with my first Occasions Mini order as I wasn't sure if I would use it.  However, I later purchased it and I am so glad I did.  I am finding myself thinking of many ways to use the die.  Buy the die; you'll enjoy it.  

My second creation with the die is a Pink Pirouette Valentine Card.  I used the Stampin' Up! Manhattan Flower Textured Embossing Folder on the card front and outlined the embossing with a VersaMarker Watermark Pen.  Next I used the Stampin' Up! Silver Embossing Powder to make the flowers pop.  Outlining the embossing with the watermark pen is a little difficult if your hand is not completely steady, like mine.  However, try it; you'll like it.  

How to create this type of card?  Run card stock and the die through your Big Shot, glue the two flaps together, use your bone folder to crisply fold the card, and cover the flaps (which will be on the inside of the card) with other card stock or, as I did, Designer Series Paper (Love Impressions).  Decorate the card to your pleasing.

PETAL CONE BIGZ DIE

 Thank you for stopping by today!  My share today is one of my creations using the new Stampin' Up! Petal Cone Bigz Die from the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  This die is one to buy.  You can create more than a cone with it, and tomorrow I will share other creations made with the cone.

 The petal cone is embellished with two of the beautiful Stampin' Up! Embossing Folders, Elegant Bouquet and Perfect Polka Dots.  The new Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, Love Impressions, was used to make the paper "LOVE" heart and two of the cone's petals.  The charming pink button and the red one below is from the Big Designer Buttons, Candy Cane, which became unavailable on January 3th when the Holiday Mini Catalog expired.  As is with the red button, the pink button is threaded with the retired Stampin' Up! Silver Elastic Cord.  The handle of the cone is the Stampin' Up!'s Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.

This side of the cone shows the "friend" stamp from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set and the big beautiful red button.  

The same red ribbon was used on this side of the cone and threaded through an old pink heart brad that I dug out of my collection.  This side shows more clearly the embossing with the Elegant Bouquet Textured Folder.

Inside the cone is lace tulle and it is filled with yummy heart shaped chocolate.

Please enjoy and email me with any questions.  Come back tomorrow to see my next creation with the Petal Cone!  Comments are appreciated as they let me know what you enjoy on my site and gives me information on what you would like in future postings.

Lastly, any item highlighted like this will take you directly to my Guneaux Designs store where you can enjoy shopping!  Therefore, place your cursor over the highlighted words, click, and shop!  I challenge you to be the first one to shop at my store within the next 24 hours!  An award awaits you!

God's Blessings!

BLISS #4

This card is the last share of the BLISS stamp set featured in the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration event.  The featured stamp is actually the "BLISS" stamp within the BLISS stamp set.  This stamp set is FREE when you buy $50 in Stampin' Up! products or host a $300 net worth workshop. 

I think the colors, Melon Mamba and Pacific Point, are striking together.  Maybe that's because they are two of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors!

The "so happy for you" sentiment on the Whisper White Organza Ribbon and inside the card is from the So Happy For You stamp set that is also FREE with purchases and/or workshops during the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration. 

I hope you have enjoyed my spotlighting of the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration free stamp sets over the last 16 days.  Remember, January 25th is the beginning of the big event, Sale-a-bration!

Leave comments about other items you would like me to spotlight.

Come back tomorrow!

God's Blessings!

BUILD A BLOSSOM

The Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Build a Blossom stamp set and the coordinating Blossom Petals Punch are awesome.  This card is my first one using the stamp set and punch.  I have to say that I think the card is beautiful!  Baja Breeze and Always Artichoke go together so well.  The Stampin' Up! Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper is gorgeous also, and is part of the card front.  The Vintage Flower Adornment in the center of the blossom is striking as well.  I highly recommend purchasing these items.  

The sentiment, "Happy Birthday" is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set, and its mat is made from modifications to pieces cut with the Tasteful Trim Big XL Die. 

Purchase your items now.  Don't look up the item numbers; place your cursor over the links and you'll be taken to Stampin' Up! to shop.

I would love your feedback on this card!  Take time to leave me a note.

God's Blessings!

BLISS #3

Today's spotlight is on the Butterfly stamp in the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration BLISS stamp set that is FREE when you buy $50 in Stampin' Up! products or host a $300 net sales workshop.  The card front displays the Occasions Mini Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper (DSP) that is available today! This DSP is just beautiful.

I love butterflies and work hard at enticing them into my flower garden here in Florida.  This card reminds me of my Agastache Tutti Frutti plant that attracts butterflies.  Not only is the plant beautiful, but the variety of butterflies it attracts is amazing.  Here's a picture of the plant. 

Enjoy and come back tomorrow!

God's Blessings!

and receive this stamp set FREE!

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year!!  It's difficult to believe that it is 2011.  I remember so clearly when we were heading into 2000 -- Y2K!  So long ago, but so fresh in my memory.

Today's share is a continuation of my introduction to the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration stamp sets.  This card spotlights the flower stamp in the BLISS stamp set. 

The Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents Pack was used to create the card.  Also, the real cool Melon Mambo Pompon Trim, found in the Occasions Mini that debuts tomorrow, embellishes the card.  The sentiment is from the You're a Gem stamp set that is also in the Occasions Mini.

This year's Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration is remarkable!  Schedule a workshop with Guneaux Designs so you can get many FREE items.

Come back tomorrow for additional features of the BLISS stamp set.

God's Blessings!
