How to Make Clouds technique video

What a beautiful weekend we are having here in the St. Louis area.  It is chilly but the sun is shining! Today I am sharing with you a card I made with the Need for Speed stamp set from Stampin'Up! The sentiment came from Up, up and Away.  I used the 1 - 1/4 Scallop Circle punch for the clouds along with a sponge dauber. 
Whisper White cardstock 3-1/4 x 3-3/4
Cherry Cobbler cardstock 3-1/2 x 4
Island Indigo cardbase 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

All of the items I used are available at my online store: www.cmhollingsworth.stampinup.net

Also I just posted a video of me making this card on YouTube. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K1ZyCwlBWM&feature=youtube_gdata

Hope you enjoy the video! I love making them for you :)

Berry Blossoms ~Thank you so, so much card

You will have to forgive my long absense of not posting.  I have been so sick over the Labor Day weekend and am just now feeling human again!  My poor husband took wonderful care of the kids and I thought of him when I made this card I am sharing with you now. 

I cut the flower pieces out on my Fun Flowers Bigz L Die with the Big Shot die cutting machine.  I then crumpled them up into a ball and repeated until the fibers in the paper were broke down enough that I could separate the flower piece into 2 separate layers. This technique is called faux suede when you have the raw, inside part of the flower exposed.  I mounted the layers together with dimensionals and I think it turned out great!  I really like the Berry Blossoms DSP and hope to share more projects made with it soon!

Back in Business?

The summer storms have not been kind to my house.  We had a great vacation to Disney World in June and came home to storms and a flooded basement! My stamping room is the "blue room" in the basement.  After everything dried out the carpet has to be replaced in the blue room so hubby told me to set up shop in the rest of the basement! I was pleasantly SHOCKED that he would give me this option, I think he just wants his garage and dining room back, that's where everything from the basement went after the flood damage.

Punch rails are the only thing left in the room.

Picture of my Stamp Room after they vaccumed some of the water out of it.

 

Part of my stash in the main room of the basement.  It was not
flooded all the way like my room was.

My cubes and more in the garage.

My desk, bookshelf and cabinet.

My reorganization in the basement so far.  It has been alot of work and I will post more pictures soon.

Have a great day!
