Ears to You…

Happy Tuesday! Happy 2nd day of Spring Break!

WOOT!

Great news from here….the snow has melted. Now if it warms up we’ll be all set for some real, fun adventures. I’ll be in full “Julie McCoy-Cruise Director” mode and making the “magic” happen.

I think I can…I think I can!

Ok…I thought you might need a touch of spring as much as I do so I thought

this card just might do the trick.

How sweet is that “ears to you” stamp?? I love the new single stamps. It’s one of those that makes for a quick and easy….down and dirty card. No fuss…no muss.

The best part is the price…$6.95! Woot!

You can see all the other single stamps by Clicking Here.

Hurry though. March 31st some of them will be going away for good.

I have several Easter treats in the works for family and friends that use this

same stamp on the bag topper. Love it!

Okay…I’m off to ~~the Ledo Deck~~ check movie times for “The Croods”.

I know you’re jealous. 🙂

Oh! Are you on Pinterest? It’s a wonderful world over there! Be sure to look me

up and dream along with me. Just search for “Suitably Stamped”…

Have a magical day!

Sweet Chicks, Pop Up Posies and a Special Offer

Hey there, Stampin’ Peeps!

I don’t know about you…but I’m ready to feel that warm spring sunshine in my bones. I’m ready to relax in the hammock on the deck and listen to the sounds of spring. Since it’s supposed to be in the “teens” here tomorrow morning I thought I’d better create some spring here in my stampin’ studio.

I love perusing Pinterest and I’m excited to see all the bright and cheery ideas that are popping up for Spring and Easter. (Are you dreaming along with me on Pinterest? Come on in! The water’s fine! You can follow me “Suitably Stamped-Michelle Suit) I’ll be sharing some new projects soon that were inspired by some that I’ve picked as favorites. But now I want to share a fun project that I hope you’ll like. It’s called “Spring Chicks and Place Cards”.
I recently met an awesome stamper who is a terrific friend and a brand new team member on our Trinity Design Stamping Team named Kim Fields. Kim created some adorable little birds and I just fell in love with them. I decided to take them and change them a little (because that’s what we do…).
Here’s what I came up with…

Aren’t they sweet? I just sketched out the shape for the bird body and wing and transferred it to a scrap of cardboard to make a reusable template. I then found some scraps of Designer Series Paper (this paper is from a retired suite). You could use any design really. You could even use card stock in your favorite spring colors and emboss them with one (or more) of the Embossing Folders. The possibilities are endless.
The beak is punched from the Heart punch and adhered between the two layers. The feet are made with 2 paper clips just opened up and glued inside between the front and back layers. The eyes are actually the Basic Pearls. I made them black by coloring them with a black Sharpie and letting them dry. How cool is THAT?? You can make pearls in any color you’d like. Woot!

The place card is made from a scrap of Pool Party Core’dinations card stock (#129321). It’s embossed with the “Honeycomb” Embossing Folder (#129378). I think that’s so stinkin’ cute! It reminds me of chicken wire. Right?? The Soft Suede tag and flower were made using the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit from the Spring Catalog (#131395) It has SO many parts and pieces to create a bunch of fun projects. Here’s a peek at what you get with the kit…

It’s just awesome. I have a few other projects to share with you that I’ve created with my kit. Stay tuned.

Ok…are you ready for spring NOW? Head over to my Online Stampin’ Store and get everything you need to make your Spring and Easter the most special one ever.

**SPECIAL OFFER** When you order the Pop Up Posies Kit from my Online Store you will receive a FREE PDF with other project ideas to create with it. It’s an exclusive offer just for you. Don’t miss out!**

Stamped Blessings,

Bibbidi…Bobbidi…Boo! NEW Punch Art for You!

Hello Peeps! Happy Wednesday!

Ok…I’ve had today’s punch art idea floating around in my head for about a week now and it feels SO good to finally get it “done”. If you’ve seen my recent projects, you’ve probably noticed that my body might be in Virginia but my heart is in Orlando. 🙂 More specifically….Disney World.

I decided to use the punch art creation I made as the focal point for a scrapbook page. It fit in perfectly with the stamped sentiment I wanted to use and it’s definitely the right theme. I have some adorable photos from Lindsay’s graduation photo session and I haven’t gotten them into a scrapbook yet. So….this was the first step towards that goal.

All right….enough chatting….let’s get to the punch art!!

“Cinderella’s Coach”! I created it using all Stampin’ Up! punches, framelits and card stock. Isn’t that so cool?? Here’s another view…

And another..

I also used the Ovals Framelits to make the sweet “swags” at the top. They remind me of the fabric on Cinderella’s dress.

Ok….It is really late here and I have SO much more to tell you. *sigh*. I will post again today with new class dates/times etc. and lots more so be sure to stop back by for a visit.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday,

Introducing… Delilah!

Hello, stampin’ friends!

Spring is springin’ and the birds are singin’… FINALLY! I had a great weekend that included fun family time, a terrific stamping get-together with ladies from Trinity Design Stampers and Stamping With Style. I was excited and honored to win a card contest with a new wedding card and also to win the Judge’s Choice Award out of all categories! Here’s my card:

“Very Vintage Bridal” in Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla

I love the flower trim that’s in the Spring Catalog – it’s so vintage and absolutely elegant. The skirt was made with the 5/8″ flower trim. It comes in a yummy vanilla color and is easy to transform into any color of the rainbow.

Here’s what it looks like:

5/8″ Flower Trim – Vanilla #126869
2yards each $6.95

It also uses the Dress Up Framelits – this particular one has seen quite a bit of use the last few days! I can’t get enough of it! If you haven’t seen it, here’s what it looks like:

Dress-Up Framelits – #130101
$24.95

Now on to today’s project… Here’s a fun project with a new punch art critter that I created for a recent Easter card swap. Meet Delilah!

Delilah is peeking through the rabbit hole, checking to make sure that her Easter eggs are safe and sound… the Easter Eggs were created using the XL Oval Punch and then each one was embossed with a different embossing folder. I don’t know about you, but Delilah and I are ready for Spring!

Speaking of Spring, don’t forget that items in the Spring Catalog are available now for you to start creating your Spring and Easter projects. Hop on over to my Online Shop to see all the fun stamps and accessories that are now available.

Also, Sale A Bration is winding down….It will end on March 22nd. Don’t forget that you can get one FREE ITEM from the SAB catalog with every $50 you purchase. Want to get an extra 20% Off ALL of your stampin’ supplies? Just ask me how!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead…
