Take a look at this card....made by Peg. Thanks girl!
It uses the stamp set called VINTAGE VOGUE. This set is available in the traditional wood blocks or the new clear mount stamp set. LOVE THIS!!!
Did you notice the detail in the ribbon? It is folded back and forth a bit for an extra special embellishment.
Have a great day! Lori :)

I am back at it...making more hairbows. I have bought more fabric in the last 6 weeks than in my whole life! It is so much fun to mix and match different fabrics.
How sweet is Miss Leah?
What a doll!
I use the FLOWER FOLDS BIGZ DIE to cut the fabric. This one is made up of 4 different sizes of flowers and it uses 4 pieces of fabric cut from each of the 4 sizes.
Have a great day! Lori :)
People have been asking me tips on how to put these stamps together. I love doing it like this.
This is what the clear stamp case looks like. It has a nice photo image of everything.
Inside the case you will find the stickers (on the left for this photo) and the actual stamps.
IMPORTANT: LEAVE the stamps all put together in their little "puzzle" mold. It makes it so easy to do this. Just peel off the white paper to expose the sticky part of the stamp.
Now find the STICKER that matches that stamp and pick that one up.
Now think of putting it together like a puzzle. Match up the sticker on the stamp.
Last step: Pop out the stamp and you are ready to go.
This method works great for me!
Have a great day! Lori :)
I just love getting mail...especially when it is in a hand-stamped envelope. The other day I received this one...
This is the KRAFT BROWN cardstock and it is a long piece (4 1/4" x 11"). This is the ELEGANT BOUQUET embossing folder and the BIG SHOT to get this raised look.
THE BEST PART ABOUT GETTING THIS MAIL....is that it is from Stampin' Up! Yes....love it!
Do you want to see the inside?
I have been invited to have dinner with Stampin' Up! on the cruise (which is April 25 - May 2). I do feel special to have received this.
Have a great day! Lori
I haven't talked about digital scrapbooking for a while. Stampin' Up! has a piece of software called MY DIGITAL STUDIO. You can do so much with this program. Doing digital scrapbooking is just one of the features. You can also make cards, design calendars (great for family gifts), and create movies and burn them to a DVD for treasured keepsakes.
There are beautiful layouts to choose from and they are easy to move things around so you can personalize it.
My Digital Studio is $79.95.
Have a great day! Lori :)
I have been having great fun playing with the SQUARE SCALLOP DIE. Here is another idea for you. It is a card. I used a piece of cardstock that was 5" x 9". Fold that piece in half and then lay it on the die JUST UP UNTIL the inside edge of the scallops. You don't want it to cut through...you just want it to cut the outside scallops on 3 sides.
So rather than having 2 separate pink pieces....you get one card. The saying is from the stamp set VINTAGE VOGUE. That is a set that is in the OCCASIONS MINI CATALOG. I used the STAMP-A-MA-JIG to line it up.
You may be thinking...how do you do the polka dot chocolate piece and the white piece? I took a scrap piece and cut that with the same SQUARE SCALLOP DIE. Just put it toward the edge of the square and get as many loops as you want.
In the first sample I used a piece of white cardstock and did 2 scallops tall. The second sample is just one scallop tall.
Do you like the embellishments? They are from the SWEET PEA STITCHED FELT pack.
Ready to give it a try?
Have a great day! Lori :)

This was made by Pam...gotta love it. Plus, I love the color pink. Maybe that is why I love it so much.
You need the BIG SHOT and the SQUARE SCALLOP DIE to make this. Did I mention that you can cut 8 FABRIC SQUARES at a time with this project? That is so cool!
There are 14 total scallop squares to make this. One finished square takes 2 pieces of fabric and a piece of batting inside. Want to learn how to do this? Watch this video here. This gal is amazing. You think I have energy.....wait 'til you watch her. Thanks so much for making this video. It has inspired lots of people. Make the bag whatever size you want.
Have a great day! Lori :)

More bird samples for you................gotta love that bird!!
I did this one as a thank you note:
I used the SCALLOP TRIM BORDER PUNCH on the edge of the Bermuda Bay cardstock. The saying is on the WORD WINDOW punch and layered on the MODERN LABEL punch.
Have a great day! Lori :)

This I saw on Shelli's Blog. I just love it and so did the stamp club members. This was one of the projects we did this month.
I cut the white cardstock 6 1/2" x 7" so that it would fit perfectly into our long skinny envelopes. I used the scallop edge border punch to do those cool scallops on the edge. Then I used a piece of designer paper that was 3/4" wide. I put that strip along the inside of the card. I stamped the stack of presents on the front of the card, then I also stamped them on the designer paper. Cut out each little present and attach it to the card. This is called paper-piecing.
Here is the stamp set called HAPPY MOMENTS. It is FREE with a $50 order.
The paper I used is from the SWEET PEA DESIGNER PAPER PACK. Here are the sheets I used...but there are so many more!
Have a great day! Lori :)
