Does Running Late Burn Calories?

Does Running Late Count As Exercise?

If so, I burned a lot of calories for your birthday this year!

Hello My Craftin' Friends!  Today I am posting a fun little card using my new Taylored Expressions Running Late stamp set. Everyone that knows me well, knows I am always behind, so this is a great set for me to have in my stash! I am sure it will get used many times LOL!

I colored the image and cut it out with a square nestie. I then added it on to a Sizzix Pop n Cut card base, adding in the sentiment above the image in a partial circle I cut with my Silhouette. I also cut some streamers and a fun little banner with my machine. 

For the outside I cut a simple Happy Birthday sentiment with my Silhouette and glued it on. Simple outside, fun and bright on the inside.

I got most of these supplies at Inspiration Emporium.(You can get a 10% discount if you use the code suestamps13)

Thanks for stopping in today-I do hope you are enjoying a nice sunny, spring day-it is about time!

♥ Sue

Once Upon a Time- 61 Years Ago!

Watch for some posts this comingt week!  Enjoy your weekend!

From Courtney's Closet and Penny Black!

When I saw this challenge picture of wee little Courtney...I could only look at those cute little piggy tails...so....here is my pink piggy "tale" card. Look how big cupcake is growing...she is changing so fast!

If you have never visited Libby's From Courtney's Closet Challenge...you should!

This card also qualifies for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge (see that little heart in one of the hats?). I used an amazing sketch by Cindy Haffner from her brand new challenge blog Crazy 4 Challenges...This sketch is challenge #1!

Wow, I am not usually one of those multi-tasking Pile It On girls, but by golly I got 3 going in one card! Whew!

This is a really bright card and I wasn't sure I liked it...but it has kind of grown on me! LOL

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge-gift card

Ahhh, House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is back...and again I am always the last in line! But I had fun and amused myself making this little gift card. Learned a few things along the way and finished a baby gift too! I saw this little holder HERE and wanted to make one too!

This is just a simple tri-fold gift card with a magnet closure (hey those are slick!) Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the inside darn it! Inside I used the SU! slit punch to hold the gift card in place. (The orientation of my holder is opposite of the one I linked too)

I cut the cardstock 4 x 8.5 inches and then cut the pretty scallop edge with my new nestie. You can see how to feed the paper in above. (a little tip here---) When you cut, DO NOT roll all the way over the nestie, just half way so you don't get an impression from the second half of the nestie in the middle of your cardstock. I am sure there are other ways to do this, but this is how I did it!

I got my nestie cut off just a wee bit on the plaid piece...I think I fed it in a little crooked, but now I know what to watch for...it was not a "do over" as that was my last piece of gingham!

Score from the straight end at 2 3/4 inches and 5 3/4 inches...and you're done except using your slit punch in the middle section to hold your card. If you don't have a slit punch, you could just attach the gift card with glue dots even.

I did add a little white piece or cardstock on the last inside panel for a sentiment and a personal note that measured 3 3/4 by 2 1/2.


This is how I cut out the house mouse without loosing his tail...in truth, the mouse on the card is a "do-over" because somewhere along the line when I was adding all the little pearls, I accidently ripped off his little tail...OUCH....I was not a happy camper LOL! (note to self: add pearls and then attach image)

I stamped and colored my image, cut part of the tail with that handy dandy little knife you see in the picture- placed the circle nestie where I wanted and then pulled the piece of tail out of the cutting area.

3 Clover's Thursday Challenge #20-Red, White and Blue

I am using my very first House Mouse stamp (back when they were still made by Stampa Rosa) I ever bought on this RED, WHITE and BLUE challenge card at 3 Clovers Thursday Challenge. My goodness, that sure seems ages ago, but really was probably back in 2002! Someday I will post the very first HM card I ever made...with this stamp...I thought it was pretty nifty...and it was for me back in "the ole days" HA!

This card whipped up darn fast...told you things have to stay simple this time of year!
The trick to this card is that the star is what opens-I cut it on the fold(the very top point) with my star nestability...the base does not. Inside the star is matted another white star stamped with Happy 4th of July! (I have visions of baby Cole taking a peek and ripppppppping it right off LOL)

I put all the red cardstock through the swiss dot cuttlebug folder for texture and used my newly replaced juicy red SU marker to put lines around the background white piece-using the nestability as a guide for the straight lines.

Basically, I just matted the layers and glued on the hinged star and it was done! Monica House Mouse image is on dimensionals.

Last week's challenge at 3CTC was Where Are You From? It was a fun one and this one should generate some pretty dandy cards too--- red, white and blue always look so dramatic together! Come join in the fun! If you get a chance...go check out last week's cards...Kerry has Mr Linky so all you have to do is click on each name to see the challenge cards...fast and easy! Be sure to leave a comment if you visit...nothin' better than knowing people are visiting!

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #43.- Caffeine Crash

This is me!

I've crashed and I can't get up! Just kidding...But I do have to tell you...a LOT of caffeine is consumed during harvest!

I made this card for this weeks House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #43...a sketch from the ladies at 2RedBanana's. I had to fudge just a wee bit to squeeze in the kaiser pearls, but otherwise I stuck to the sketch.

I know all of us "harvest type" people feel like Mr. Biggly Gruffie! Give us a LOT of caffeine and we perk right up! My caffeine of choice is always pepsi or cocoa...no coffee for me...never acquired the taste...but love the smell!

Okay, the rest of the story...

All the cups are cut out and put on pop dots-- as is the waste basket. This makes for a fun card with lots of dimension. The inside is finished off with a white mat embellished with a small strip of the red polka dot DP matted on a scalloped piece of gable green.

A fun and simple Graduation card!

I made this card for my nephew Garrett. He graduated from Seattle University this past week. I am proud that he stuck out that Washington weather...being a native Hawaii boy and all! He is headed for Texas to study law so I thought this card would be perfect for him!

I have had this stamp for ages...I knew the day would come to use it for the perfect occasion! I cut out the scroll and added it with dimensionals. Add some $ and what could be better?

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #45-Best Friend

Little Sophie is guest starring this week on From Courtney's Closet Challenge #45.
Sophie's Mama is Katie Brooks at KB Stamps.

I used this sketch challenge from Jen del Muro at iheart2stamp.

One thing I have learned from playing along with Libby's weekly challenges, is to use what I have on hand. I didn't even come close to having any flower DP to match Sophie's flowery pants, so I made my own with an old retired stamp set from Stampin' UP! named Petite Posies. This set does get pulled out and used still...after all these years!

I took my inspiration from Jen's Sketch, Sophies pants and those "orange" pop blocks, and this week's Celebration over at Penny Black's Saturday Challenge. Now I call that multi-tasking LOL!

You can see in the first picture that everything is on dimensionals, making for some fun 3D. I even got to use my new Martha butterfly punch. NOWWWW...as my stampin buddy Charla knows, I used to have a real aversion to bug stamps...including and especially butterflies. I used to just cringe at them...(I am clueless to understand why) but I am slowly coming out of my cacoon LOL and just getting over it! Now, I am not sure Charla has gotten over her smiley face phobia tho!

Do you have a certain type of image that makes you cringe?

Stamps: Penny Black Butterfly Wishes 2620H, Retired Stampin UP Petite Posies, Stampin Up! sentiment from Full of Life

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #40-Baby Boy Giraffe

Ahhh...this project turned out so sweet!!! It was very quick and easy. This is my inspiration project for this week's From Courtney's Closet Challenge #40. Courtney is wearing a darling little outfit with animals marching across the front of her shirt and her little jeans. I picked the giraffe from the animal group and went that direction.

I bought this kraft gable box ages ago...unearthed from my scrap closet this week. This is a good size box--big enough to add a little baby outfit inside. I think I will have to make a pink version too! They will be nice to have on hand. Wish I could remember where I ordered it from(this gable box came in lots of different sizes)...if I find them again I will post the link.

Basically I just cut strips of cardstock for the bottom edge and used my Martha scallop punch to pretty it up. I added some more little giraffes and another button with ribbon.

For the card I used a mega rectangle nestie and folded it in half. This makes a great size card for little gift cards. I decorated it up with another giraffe and some ribbon and buttons.

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #39-Hey

HEY-THANKS! You all know how much I love Snoopy. Well, here he is, back to play in From Courtney's Closet Challenge #39! Now-- I didn't have a scottie dog stamp...but Snoopy is my main "Dawg"! The sketch is from Mary Jo's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #66.

Inside is finished with a strip of plaid cardstock as well as an thin piece of pierced real red cardstock. I stamped THANKS on the inside.

I made this look with my scalloped nestie. I used a tip that Allison at Stampin When I Can showed a while back. I fell in love with the pinked edge nesties, but golly I have to pick carefully what I buy. Allison showed this tip that solved my dilemma. I got the pinked look by cutting a classic scalloped nestie circle. I then popped it out of the nestie, rotated just a wee bit, (not even 1/4 of an inch) and taped it in place to keep it from moving. I ran it through my big shot again and came out with this fun edge! Viola...my pinked edge! I wish I could find Allison's posting to show you...maybe she will read this and show me the way to her link!

ETA: HERE is the link to make your own "pinked" edge! Thanks Allison!

3 Clover's Thursday Challenge #8-Color Challenge

I am home from my Mini Vacation and missing the sunshine of Arizona already. Darn it was nice there! I went down to visit some family for a few days and the weather and the visit was perfecto! Wish I could have stayed longer...isn't that how a vacation always works?

I whipped up this card tonight, after rejecting the first card I made...strange, but this card came to me in a dream...I'll take inspiration wherever it comes from!

The challenge over at Kerry's 3 Clovers Designs Thursday Challenge this week is a color challenge. Use So Saffron, Rose Red and Always Artichoke. Now, I was out of Rose Red so I used Regal Rose. I guess that is as close as I could get on this one!

This turned out to be pretty much a Stampin Up card. I used my new SU! sizzlit named Little Leaves. I used a couple of Paper Shaper punches for the flowers and the centers . I used the ball at the end of my embossing tool to shape the little flowers and the center and then stuck them together with glue dots. I also used some of my new Sweet Slumber Designer DP with the wonderful texture like Parisian Breeze has.

I didn't get this done early enough to submit to Kerry, but make sure to go visit and join in this week's challenge!

Stamps: Misc Unmounted Sentiment

Cardstock: Sweet Slumber Specialty paper (pg 158 SU! catalogue) So Saffron, Regal Rose, Always Artichoke

Valentine Star Mini Album Tutorial

Okay! I have had so many crafters ask me how I made this book that I am going to show some pictures...I really took these pictures for my own memory and although they are not all the way complete,(I got sidetracked during some of the steps) I think they will give you the idea. Many of you have requested directions on how to make this mini album as they want to make one for Mother's Day...what a great idea! Can you believe this design came to me while I was dreaming one night!? Wish I had more dreams like that...

I googled "how to make a star album" and found this site. Ohhh...what inspiration...tons of great ideas and also I see they have recently added the elusive waterfall mini album directions too. Oh go browse...tons of fun. I think this would be fun in an Egg shape for Easter.

Without any more chatter I will jump into the explanation of the photo's I took...now I missed a few steps here and there...but I will explain as I go through the pictures.

What you will need:

Heart Nestabilities
I used the following:

(cut 5 sets each- cut these on the fold-see pictures)

1- Red heart was the largest scallop heart... measures about 4 1/2 inches across
2-White heart was the second plain heart in the set...measures 3 1/2 " across
3-Black scalloped heart (4th in the set) measures about 2 1/4 across

4-Silver heart (5th in set) measures about 1 5/8 across-(Cut 10 individual hearts of this size)

Cardstock
5 pieces of red cardstock cut approx size 5 x10-score in half
5 pieces of white cardstock cut approx size 4 x 8-score in half
5 pieces of black cardstock cut approx size 3 x 6
10 small pieces of silver cardstock cut approx 2 x 2 ( I just used one big piece of silver)


Misc
misc embellishments
18" of ribbon and a heart clip to hold the star album open
Ribbon clasp for final closure(see top picture for what I used)
ATG gun adhesive, sticky strip or some other STRONG sticky...tombow will not be strong enough to hold this together.
Glue dots
Several of your favorite cuttlebug folders. I used the swirly one for the red, swiss dots for the white and the one that looks like house siding (LOL) for the black. You could use whichever ones you like best.

Cut your cardstock and score the red, white and black cardstock in half.

Fold cardstock in half and tape the nestie in place so it would not move. Place so that the nestie hangs barely off the edge of the folded cardstock.(see picture below) You will cut 5 red, 5 white and 5 black. I used repositional tape...I have read you can use blue painters tape also.

Let the nestability hang over the fold so you get a "hinge'.

Texture your cardstock one side at a time, making sure you use the cuttlebug folder the same way on each side.

This is what it looks like when that step is completed.

This picture is of two hinged and folded hearts. You will tape up a heart "real good" and stick them together. Repeat this step for all 5 hinged RED hearts...DO NOT tape the last red heart together.

This is what the first two RED sets look like when they are glued together. Continue with the rest of the red hearts, leaving the last set unglued.

Okay...after here I think I either went to bed, took a pretzel break, or just plain forgot to take anymore pictures until done, so I will have to explain instead.

1-cut and complete your white set
2-cut and complete your black set

With each hinged heart you will use glue dots on the back outer edge of each side of each heart and stick it to the RED hinged heart. I then centered each color on top of the heart below for placement. (this sounds a wee confusing, so it may be easier just to refer to the pictures LOL)

You can tell by the picture below how they will look when attached.

3-cut and decorate each individual silver heart (or 4th layer of hearts). Center and use a strong glue to attach.

4- fold up album and glue the ribbon across the front and around the back. (18 inches) and add your closure. Trim ribbon as needed.

See the clip here? This will hold open the book and allow it to stand open.

Ta-dah....all done!

Kerry seems to have a "thing" for purple and glitter...so we are using her fave's this week.

Come join in and use your purple and glitter and make a fun creation!

I had a heck of a time photographing purple...it just wouldn't come out right..This card is really Elegant Eggplant, Mellow Moss and Brushed Silver...very pretty IRL.The center oval is a layer of silver, mellow moss and eggplant...a little hard to tell from this picture. The flower is embossed with silver SU! powder. The bottom border is punched using my new EK Success punch...they are pretty cool and they punch through SU cardstock so easily!

I love this new little circle sentiment...I just bought it at the Portland stamp convention. It is made by Make An Impression (phone # 800-362-7735)

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #35-Cole and Gwamma

Keep it simple...I took Libby's "keep it simple" inspiration and made this quick 6 x 6 scrapbook page of one of my fave pictures of little Cole's visit this weekend. I love to hold him while he is sleeping...love to listen to him breath and giggle and sometimes talk in his sleep!

I used a sizzix die for the house (hey, close to the house on Courtney's shirt), computer generated the sentiment, so there really is no stamping here...I see I forgot to add the puffs of smoke coming out of the chimney...but I am too tired to run back up and retake the picture...but I will add the three little puffs of smoke later for a finishing touch.

You can find Libby's From Courtney's Closet #35 Inspiration Challenge HERE!

Cardstock is all Stampin Up.

Little Courtney's Inspiration outfit for week 35...I think she is upset at Mommy about something here!

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #34-Cupcake Fluffles

Lot's of pink going on here! Little Courtney over at From Courtney's Closet Challenge #34 is all decked out in her little fancy PINK outfit. My inspiration came from her pink outfit as well as that little hat she is wearing. As I was explaining it to one of my friends, the only description I could come up with was a dunce hat (so sorry Libby...I know sweet pea is not a dunce). My friend Charla so kindly put the correct description to her hat...a Medieval princess hat! That's it! Now I got it right!

Now, the closest I could come to a Medieval princess hat was this cute Fluffles image that I received from a dear stamping friend! Thanks girl! A birthday hat works for me! This is the first Fluffles image I have ever used and it was fun and quick to color! I think I may have started another addiction.

The image was cut out with a square nestie and I also used my nestie scallop circles and a cuttlebug folder background. I dug out a retired SU! corner punch too. Everything is up on dimensionals so this is a fun card to view in real life! Hmmm...now that I have the picture to post, I think I will add some glitter to this card too!

The little Medieval Princess!

Make sure to go check them out say Hi to Kerry!

I love this Peanuts character...remember the animated Peanuts cartoons where Pig Pen would be walking with a cloud of dirt around him all the time????...typical little boy stuff!

This is a pretty straight forward card so I will spare you a description. Hope this card brings back memories of the Peanut gang for you!

From Courtney's Closet Challenge #31 -Here Kitty Kitty

Okay...I find I don't have any kitty stamps...What's with that? Maybe I am afraid they will chase the meeces out of my craft room...hmmm. I found this image that someone shared with me...isn't it cute? If you know the name of the stamp and the company, I would love to give credit to them...this is a darling stamp.

This is my submission for challenge #31 at From Courtney's Closet Challenge. Courtney is wearing a cute little pink and orange number with kitties on the front...I did manage to stick with the color scheme and even include a few pink kitties with their fur friends! I think Libby is going to make me use orange until I fall in love with it LOL! Actually, I do really like this card...so maybe her scheme is working!

I used this card for my inspiration...I saw it while surfing and thought it was just one of the prettiest cards I have seen. She used the sketch challenge from the SCS February fan club Dirty Dozen Challenge here.

I cut out the image with my nesties and sponged around the edges to give the image a little more definition. The little flower is one I got at the dollar spot of Target last year...about time to use it!

Do you recognize this motley crew?

Stamps: Image of the fur babies is unknown...please let me know if you recognize them, Sentiment is part of a past SU! celebration set-Lots of Thoughts. ETA: Debbie Fisher tells me this an Inky Antics stamp...thanks Debbie!

Lil' Cupcake in her kitty outfit!

Maude is at it again!

I made this Valentine card for my Mom. She is recovering from surgery and could use a real "Maude" pick me up. This card was inspired by the lucious Valentine cards that Jennifer at Jennifer's Sweet Designs has been making. I love this card and the chocolate brown has just stuck in my mind ever since I saw her card! Be sure to check out all the wonderful Valentine's she has shared!

Susanna at Card of the Week has a sketch challenge up today that you should all try. You can see it here. Although I did change it around some, I followed the basic sketch I think!

Now, if you've been around my blog long enough...you know Maude is my favorite stamp of all time...I don't own her, but she comes to visit occasionally so I can stamp some of her images. She is quite a character! Thanks to Barb for letting Maude come visit! She is made by Art Impressions. I did paper piece her robe and bunny slippers!

If you have a "Maude" card you would like me to link here...just send me an email...

Jenny at One Krafty Kat created a Maude card.
