Stampin' with Stacy

My Digital Studio!!

2009-09-05T13:55:00.000-07:00

I am SOOO excited to tell you about Stampin Up!'s newest product coming out -- called "My Digital Studio"! Most of you know i a digi scrapper -for about 3 years now, so i have been eyeing this, believe me!! It's a computer program that lets you scrap digitally, create photobooks, cards, and calendars!! This program is both user friendly for newbies, but great for more experienced computer people.It contains TONS of SU stamp sets digitaly, as well as their papers, cardstock, embellishments and scrap kits!! There are over 2,000 images on these DVD's!!

However, it gets better! Do you already have a favorite program on your computer such as Photoshop Elements? Well, SU will also have separate individual files that you can purchase thru my online store, and download onto your computer to use in the most popular photo programs!!! How cool is that?! I will be explaining more about this product in future posts.. If you want to be one of the first "in the know" then subscribe to my blog - or shoot me an email, at smvenancio@yahoo.com and i will put you on my email list!

My Digital Studio will be available on Oct. 1, but one of the perks of being a demo is getting wonderful products like this a month earlier than the public!! So, guess what i have been doing all day?!

As you can tell from the following layouts, i am trying to catch up on my Disney trip from August. Hope you enjoy them!!!

Fairytales do come true....

2009-09-03T11:04:00.001-07:00

Today, i am going to show you a lil' tutorial on how to use a Stamp a Ma Jig.. This is a great way to line up any image to where you want it to be specifically.
I am working on my sister's wedding invitations, today i am doing the envelopes. Now, i want the wording to be lined up perfectly on these.
Here is what i used: The envelopes are SU's 5x5 whisper white. The stamp set is "Once Upon A Time" #113746 (19.95). And i am using Melon Mambo ink.
My sister's wedding colors are Pink (like Melon Mambo), Black and White.. And she is having a "Disney Fairy Tale Wedding" - she is getting married at the Grand Floridian at Disney's wedding pavilion in March 2010. I am SOOOO EXCITED!! Ok, back to the tutorial..

First, you will notice that the Stamp A MA Jig has a clear plexi piece that goes with it -- you need to flip it over to have the rough side facing you.. then line it up to the bottom edge corner as shown of the SAMJ .

Next, you will stamp your image (with your ink) on the rough side of the plexi-plastic stuff... (see below)

This is your guide.. so take that plastic piece, and put it exactly where you want it to go on your envelope.. Then, line up your SAMJ . (to the corner - same as how you stamped)

Now, remove the plastic, and KEEP THE SAMJ WHERE IT IS!!! While it is still in position, line your stamp up to where you took the plastic from , and when you have it set - remove your SAMJ.

And STAMP! :)

There you have it!!!! IT's a wonderful tool!!

Now, to finish my envelope, i am going to show you how i embossed it. I got my new toy in yesterday - the Sizzix bigshot! I love it!!!

So, i used the SU Elegant Bouquet folder, you just follow the directions, with layering it into the machine, and run it thru...

And there we have it!!!! A pretty (if i do say so!) embossed wedding envelope!!

Good Friend

2009-08-31T11:04:00.000-07:00

Ahhh... Good friends. Don't you just love 'em ? This card today is a tribute to all good friends in our lives.. I got this color combo idea out of our demonstrator only monthly magazine - "Stampin' Success" which we receive each month that is full of ideas and creativity, ask me more about this if you become a part of my team! It's something i regularly stalk my mailbox for at the end of each month. :)

Anyway, for my card, i used Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, and Old Olive - all out of the Earth Elements color family.

I stamped my image from the "Good Friend set" as seen below, using the Not Quite Navy for the bird's body, the Ruby Red for his beak, and the Old Olive for his legs. I lined up all my stamps using my "Stamp a ma jig" - see pic below - This tool ROCKS for getting your image to line up! I will post a tutorial tomorrow on using this wonderful lil' tool! I will also be using this in my September workshops/classes, so if you want first hand touchie/feelie use of this, then book your workshop today, or sign up for one of my classes - you can view my list at :

Feel's Like Fall!

2009-08-28T12:00:00.000-07:00

Well, this weather has it feelin' like fall here in the New England area - We have traded 90 degrees for 73... and no humidity. While everyone who knows me, knows how much i enjoy the summer, and hate the winter, what you may not know is - i love the fall. I absolutely love Halloween, the decor, the spookiness, the candy.. LOL Love it all.. But, i also love the apple crisp, the decorated pumpkins, the hayrides, the changing leaves... and more. Ok, while it may not be fall yet, the weather today and yesterday just has me thinking fall. So, i have a couple projects to share with you.

First, we have a "Wiper Card" technique -

This technique actually came to me via Splitcoast Stampers. They have a great tutorial on it HERE. Basically, when you pull on the card, you get that little leaf (or whatever stamped image you use) to pop up as a surprise.. then it tucks back inside the card. Very cool!! I colored in the stamped image using blender pens and the ink from the lids of the ink pads.

Supplies used on the above card are:

#100946 More Mustard cardstock (from Earth Elements) $5.50

#115321 Dusty Durango cardstock (from the In Colors) $5.50

#115318 Soft Suede Cardstock (from the In Colors) $5.50

#115612 Soft Suede dotted ribbon 9.95

#115609 Dusty Durango dotted ribbon $9.95
#101341 Close To Cocoa cardstock (from Earth Elements) $5.50

#101650 Very Vanilla Cardstock $7.50 (40 sheets)

#110372 Autumn Harvest Stamp Set (pg. 26 of the IBC) $17.95

#102845 Blender Pens $9.95

Also, here is a sneek peek of a new roll out of the Fall/Winter Holiday Mini!!! I LOVE this new roll - Haunting Hill, so many great ideas for this!! If you need a Holiday mini catalog - please email me at smvenancio@yahoo.com and i can get one out for you! This will "go live" on 9/1 for everyone to see online also!

Have a great friday!!!

Everyday inspiration!

2009-07-29T11:07:00.000-07:00

You know, it's amazing, i have had this ad for Bed, Bath & Beyond sitting here in my craft room for about 3 weeks now, because i liked some of the bedroom stuff in it - for Cait's room. Well, turns out, i got inspired from the ad to make a card using the design and color scheme. Goes to show you - you can find simple color or design inspiration where ever you look!! The top pillow is what i actually based the card design on. Recipe for the card is below: click on the pic to open it larger.

Cardstock - base is Whisper White, tempting Turquoise, Gable Green cardstock. Stamp set is "Circle Circus" & Simple Sentiments (an old hostess set from last year). I also added some "bling" by using Stampin' Up's Rhinestone brads (in "Ice Circles").

I stamped the circles on the TT cardstock in Versa Mark ink, and then used white embossing powder to heat emboss. I also ran the narrow strips of Gable Green thru my Fiskars Crimper tool for added demension.

Enjoy searching around your home for "everyday inspiration"!

2009-07-28T14:16:00.000-07:00

Well, it's time!! Stampin' Up's! final Deal of the Week is posted!! And here it is...
CURRENT DEAL OF THE WEEK

#113694
Heart to Heart punch
$10.99 (reg. 15.95) !

2009-07-26T05:39:00.000-07:00

Today i thought i would share a couple cards i did. The one on the right i taught in one of my clubs - it's a basic, cute summer card. The one on the left, i made for my upline, Kimberly as a thank you card. They both use the same stamp, and basic color scheme, but just put together differently. I will list the recipes below.

Left card: Background is Crushed Curry, Basic Black, topnote diecut in Bermuda Bay. Circles punched with the 1 1/4 " SU circle punch in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Ribbon is Melon Mambo polka dot. Stamps are from the Holiday Blitz set (#114982) .

Right Card: Background is Sahara Sand cardstock, circles are punched with 1 1/4" SU punch in Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive Cardstock. Ribbon is bermuda bay. Stamps are same as the left side card.

I think this just shows how you can take one design, and twist it up to create a whole different card by adding an element or a couple new colors.

Just a reminder - the Deal of the week is only good until tomorrow at 10a.m.! If you haven't grabbed it yet, you will love it!! Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware for only 18.99!

Cards For Heroes - July 24 6pm

2009-07-12T05:16:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I will be posting later today with some cards i made over the weekend, but in the meantime, i wanted to let you know about Cards For Heroes - it is a wonderful organization that send cards overseas to our servicemen/women, for them to use to send home when their loved ones have birthdays, or anniversaries, or holidays, sympathy, etc... there are no card stores for them in the middle of where ever they are stationed. That's where we come in:

Friday night, July 24 at 6pm, join us at Portsmouth United Methodist Church, on East Main Rd. in Portsmouth RI as we create Cards for Heroes. There is no fee, and all cards will be shipped overseas for our military to use to send to loved ones.

No prior stamping/cardmaking skills are needed, just a passion to do something wonderful and have great fun!!

Visit http://www.cardsforheroes.org/ for more info on this cause!

Hope to see you then!!!

Cakes, Cards and Angels - oh my!

2009-06-29T17:45:00.000-07:00

Ok, Here we go... I can't believe i was such a BAD blogger, and let a week go by without posting!!! i am so sorry!! I vow, never again.
So, without making you wait any longer - here are some fun pics of what i did this week.

First, we have Cait's last day of school, and her teacher's birthday, well, what do you get a teacher who is just the BEST?! A cake -- but not just any cake -- a paper cake, lol. I used my Cricut and my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to create this two layer cake. I filled the boxes with chocolates and mini tootsie rolls.
Then i added a cup full of goodies on top with ribbon. The sides of the cake slices are stamped with the apple from the "Tart and Tangy" Stampin' Up Set.

Next, here is my card for last week's color challenge that i posted below. I used Fifth Avenue Floral for my stamp set, along with a level one hostess set for the "Be Happy" - which will retire as of Weds!

Lastly, we went to the RI Air National Guard Airshow yesterday at Quonset Point. I hadn't been to this since I had met Dave over 12 years ago, and i first went when he was in the National Guard (Military Police) and me and my friend Vicki went - I have always wanted to get back to go, but for whatever reason, it just never fell on a good weekend it seemed.. either too hot, too rainy, to busy.. etc. So, this was my chance!

I love this!! The louder the better IMO.. however, Cait didn't see it that way.. LOL

I was able to get some great shots -- and that is hard to do when they are flying overhead anywhere b/w 300-650 mph! LOL I need to clean them up in photoshop, and brighten them up. but overall, not bad.

This first pic is of an F22, the newest plane in the show.. VERY VERY LOUD and VERY VERY fast....SOOOO COOL!!!!

Next, the finishing act is always the Navy's Blue Angels. They are awesome --- there is no way you can go and not stay til the end just to see them. The way they fly so close together and fluently, just gives me chills.... again, loud and fast... LOVED them!!!

Got lots of nice shots, hopefully i can share more when i have time to clean them up a bit!

HAve a great night!

Birthday Gift & Open House, and 2 spaces for rent!

2009-06-12T04:21:00.000-07:00

Well, As i had stated before, this past week was my lil' sis's bday! And she totally loves designer purses... so, a few posts ago, i showed you the cute Top Note purse i made her, and now i am showing you the second half of her gift - this was a purse that i found the wonderful template online (link below) and i knew she would love it! I used the Designer Series Paper - Urban Oasis (which is sadly retiring at the end of this month!!) It features a Top Note die as the top, and 2 scallop envelope dies on the front. Here is a pic of the closed up purse: (You can click on the pic to enlarge!)
Here is the link: PURSE here <----- Tutorial link!!! Here is a pic of the purse opened, and showing you how it holds 6 cards (i put 3 on each side) + envelopes. I simply adhered 2 celo bags to put the cards in. Then there is room for a pen in the middle. (Click on the pic to enlarge)

Below is a pic of the 6 cards.. All from the Urban Oasis DSP and Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set. (Click on the pic to enlarge)

Now, if that wasn't enough yummy stuff to look at - I held my first Open House / Workshop at Calvary UMC yesterday.. I did 2 projects with the ladies... here they are:

We had a GREAT time, it was fun to watch everyone create their masterpieces!! (Including my daughter). I also gave everyone a bookmark with swatches of the new In Colors on them, i think those were a big hit! And everyone enjoyed receiving a lil' prize at the end of the night also. If you missed this night, don't worry, you can book your own workshop - either at our church, or your home, and have all the fun that we did! And earn some great free gifts!! Email me for details!

On to the CLUB spaces for "rent" --- I am going to be starting up a Stamp Club with a few of the ladies who came last night.. And we have room for 2 more players!!

What does this mean? Well, basically, you would commit to joining our club for 6 months, and each month members agree to place at least a $25 order thru me by a set date determined..

Each month we take turns rotating the benefits, and every month one person out of the 6 is assigned to be the hostess. The month that you are the hostess, you benefit by getting and extra of at least $15 in free merchandise, and a free hostess stamp set!!! You will know ahead of time which month you will be the hostess, and if you want to invite others (family/friends) to join us, to increase your benefits, you may!

Each month, we as a club, will gather, and create a couple items (cards, 3 d items, scrapbook pages, etc) - if you can't attend in person that month, no problem - i can mail you the package and directions for your goodies, and you can assemble them on your own.

******If you do not live in the area, and still want to join us -- PLEASE DO!!!! This club can be for people in town, or across the country! I can priority mail you all the materials to create the same projects that we will be making, along with pdf directions -- distance is NOT an issue!!

If this sounds exciting to you and you want to join us -- please email me at smvenancio@yahoo.com today, and i can email you over the agreement and info sheet. We are looking to begin on July 1st and will be setting the date to gather that month.

**Currently, we have (2) spots left!

Sneek Peek new in colors!! And a gift for my sis

2009-06-05T06:28:00.001-07:00

First off, i want to share with you all a sneek peek of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors for 2009-2010. These will be available starting July 1. See the post below for the names! I used all four colors on this card - the card base is Dusty Durango, the embossed layer (embossed with the fifth avenue floral folder) is razzleberry, and the matted layer for the white is Melon Mambo. The flower was colored in with the new in-color markers!!! Yea! We finally have markers! And the verse was stamped with the suede new incolor marker. Remember, you can pre-order your new catalog from me by checking out my post below, or email me at smvenancio@yahoo.com . Cost is $10, but you will receive a $10 coupon for a future order!!! Can't go wrong!
Next, we have a gift for my sis (hope she doesn't peek!) - She is turning 29 on 6/8, (Sorry about the telling of the age Barb!!) and she is a pocketbook freak, we went to a huge HUGE fleamarket in N.H. a couple weeks ago, where they sell tons of knock - off designer purses, and she was in heaven! So, she is already planning her next trip up there, so i wanted to give her some $ to take with her! Needless to say, i needed a creative way to gift it!
Here is where my friend, neighbor and downline - Cheryl, came into the pic. She got the Big Shot Starter kit in yesterday, and i had to go over and play!! I am in total loooooove!!! I also made the lil' matchbox with the matchbox die for the Big Shot. I added a kraft corduroy button (#114340), (love these!!!) and made the top flap with a large scallop circle die for the Big Shot. (#113468). The purse itself was made using the Top Note die - cut out 2x (# 113463) and making a box to put between the two top notes. I then put 2 eyelets (3/16") in the scallop circle and ran some Old Olive ribbon thru. All of these colors are the CURRENT In Colors, that are only available til the end of June!! I love them, they are so bright and fun, i will admit, i will miss them!
The flower on the match box is the Sizzlets die - Birds and Blooms (# 113485). To finish it off, i used the faux alligator skin technique on the top note. (hard to see in pic) More on this technique later! If you would like to learn more about the Big Shot, click on the pic to the right ---->
*Remember, this starter Big Shot kit is only available until the end of June - so, if you are even THINKING about getting one, NOW is the time!! Not only do you get the starter kit at a great price, but you will also get EXTRA hostess benefits for the month of June. The big shot starter kit will give you enough to get $20 EXTRA in FREE product of your choice - (perhaps another Big Shot Die??) above and beyond what you already get in hostess benefits!! This is seriously on my list, and i hope to be getting one before the end of the month myself!!

Important news for today!

2009-05-24T10:06:00.000-07:00

I know i have posted early this a.m., but with it being Memorial Day weekend, i thought a second post for the day with some great blogs to visit was warranted! LOL
Cards for Heros is doing a bloghop today! There are over 100 different blogs participating, so, grab a cup of coffee (or two, or three....lol) and start hopping!
www.cardsforheros.org

I have spent some time reading over this site, and i am sooo impressed!! This is definately something i would love to get involved with, so i will be scheduling something on my summer calendar to participate for sure!

2009-05-24T04:48:00.000-07:00

Ok, lots to show you today! First, i wanted to show you this unbelievably cute lil' calendar that my upline, Kimberly made for me! It is sort of a tent - fold idea, with 3 calendar months showing on each side - then you simply flip it over for the next 3 months, and there you have it!! I just think it's too cute! And i have it sitting here on my desk, Thanks Kimberly!!
Now, back onto the Simply Scrappin' Kit - Hoppy Memories. I completed 3 layouts here - first i did (2) 8 1/2 x 11" layouts, from our recent trip to Disney in March. There is no stamping in these, it is strictly product from the Simply Scrappin' kit.

Then, i also did a 12x12" layout to go in my daughter's regular album. I just love all the projects i was able to squeeze out of ONE kit!!! I can't wait to see what new ones will come out in July!

There you have it! I hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! We will be doing some grilling for sure! LOL

~Stacy

Stillll workin' on that SS kit!!!

2009-05-22T19:18:00.001-07:00

Can you believe, i am STILL workin' off that same Simply Scrappin' kit that i made the 20 page album out of?? Remember, i told you that i used half the kit for the album, well, today i made more projects from the other 1/2 of the kit - here are a few...
First, i made 2 cards - one general "hello", and the other is a #1 teacher card.
Next, i made a framed art piece, using a pic i had of a Tiki Statue that was at the Polynesian hotel at Disney World that we stayed at - i wanted to mat it and embellish it a bit.. It's in an 8x10 frame.

Tomorrow, i will share the scrapbook layouts i did with this kit! Yup, i ALSO made 3 scrapbook layouts too! You will just have to wait til tomorrow to see those!

So,let's recap - out of this one Simply Scrappin' Kit, (for $19.95), i have made so far:

(1) 6x6" 20 page album (see below)

(2) cards

(1) framed pic embellished

(3) scrapbook layouts ( (2) 8 1/2"x11 and (1) 12x12" layouts)

I will post those tomorrow - along with whatever else i can come up with using the rest of my scraps!! LOL All i can say is WOW. I never thought i could make so much out of one kit!!! These are FAB! Can't wait to see the new ones in july!!

Have a good night!

~Stacy

20 page 6x6 album for $10 and 60 minutes!!

2009-05-21T17:09:00.000-07:00

Well, i promised you the other day i would post the album i made the other night - and here it is! Now, This album is a 6x6 size, made from only 1/2 (yup, 1/2!) of a Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin Kit - the kit i used is "Hoppy Memories" (# 113936) the Simply Scrappin' kits can be found on page 162 in your Idea Book and Catalog.
Here is what i did to make this easy -- i took my SS kit, and divided up everything (so, i started off with 4 sheets of textured 12x12 cardstock, 3 sheets of Designer paper, and 3 sheets of cardstock stickers), I then cut all my CARDSTOCK into 4 6x6 pieces per 12x12 page. Put those aside, then, i took my designer paper, and cut all of those 12x12 sheets in 1/2. I then took 2 of those 1/2's and cut them into half (to make 4 6x6" pages) and there are your 20 6x6 background pages!
I then just started to embellish each page as i saw fit with my stickers and leftover designer papers, being careful to keep it simple. You can always go back and add more stickers later!!
Now, after you are done, you will still have 1/2 of the simply scrappin' kit left!!!! Enough for a whole second 6x6 20 page album, or several 12x12 layouts, or lots of cards!! I honestly haven't decided on what i am going to use mine for yet! I will definately keep you posted when i do! Enjoy the pics!!
