This week at the Treehouse it's my turn to pick the challenge and I have a sketch challenge in store for you. I also have a little picture tutotrial to share. Be kind it's my first.

First up here is the sketch for this week:

Here is what I came up with:

When you upload your card to SCS, PCP, and your blog make sure and use the keyword THT039. We hope you can come play along with us this week.

Check out what the DT members have come up with HERE. You will also want to swing by the store for some specials and deals and just the other day there was a digi release so check it out HERE.

Next up is my gift card tutorial. Last week for our bling challenge I made a gift card holder using the tutorial given by Gina K at Stamp TV. So this week I made another one and put together a little photo tutorial on how it did it. I used all the basics from Stamp TV but added some ribbon instead of the magnets she used.

I have tried to label all the photos:

WOW, that is alot of photos! So did it all make sense? I hope you can see it all, sorry for a few blurry photos. This was my first time posting a tutorial of sorts so I would love to know it if was good, ok or just awful! LOL!

I'm now selling Ippity Stamps

So I've hopped on the Ippity bandwagon! In case you have not heard Ippity is a "sister" company of Unity Stamp Co (surely you have heard of them?) I have loved Unity from the very beginning and when they came out with the Ippity Opportunity I thought that was fabulous. I was an SU demo for a little bit of time awhile ago and loved the possibilities with that. Although SU was hard to keep up with Ippity is so flexible and for me that rocks.

I have started a page here on my blog for my Ippity Stamps HERE. If you are considering buying some Ippity I would love to be your rep. I will continue working on my Ippity page to bring you more products. And soon I will begin posting fun ideas as well.

So I hope you will come with me on my Ippity journey. If you have any questions/suggestions please send me a mail I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp TV CSS Auditions #2

Here is a second card I made for the Stamp TV - Gina K March CSS "auditions". For this one I used the awesome butterfly from Hope is Faith set.

The challenge calls for using 2 of the newest colors from the Spring Assortment as well as a new stamp set. I used Creme De Menthe and Lovely Lavender. The green buttons match Creme De Menthe and are also from the spring assortment.

Well that's it for now!

Stamp TV CSS Team - Tryouts

Gina K from Gina K Designs/Stamp TV has started a new way to search for their new CSS team each month. Now there will be audtions based of course on a fun challenge. This month Gina's challenge is to use a new set from the new release as well as 2 of the colors from the Spring Assortment of Pure Luxury Cardstock.


Here is my first submission :-)

This is using Melanie's new set called Pressed Flowers. This set is awesome because it contains all bold fun images but they are the same images as in the A Year of Flowers set. SOOOO... it makes for perfect 2 step stamping!! I didn't do that here since the challenge was to use a new set and I figured it should just be a new set only.

Here is a close up of the glittery flower:
The pure luxury cardstock I used is Creme de Menthe and Innocent pink. I also used the awesome digi paper called Wings of Hope also from this new release. In the corner I added a little square where I wanted a sentiment of some sort so I decided to just use one of the other sheets from Wings of Hope digi set as my "sentiment" square. I used nesties to cut out the mat of Creme de Menthe with the paper. The beautiful ribbon is ribbon that came in the Stamp TV Organize It kit from last month.

I was really happy with how this turned out. I used all GKD products except for the embossing powder. Funny story there.... I decided that I wanted one of the roses all glittery for the top. SO I said I'll use some Dazzling Diamonds (SU) because that is so nice and glittery! (are you going to hit me now?) I spent no joke about 20 mins trying to emboss the darn flower and it wouldn't work. Then I thought it was the way I was doing it, using the embossing ink then the pink ink. FINALLY LIGHTBULB and I realized that I was not using embossing powder! WOW, SMACK! Seriously it was tooo funny! I laughed for a while. I must have been a bit tired when I was doing this.

Anyhow, off this creation goes as an entry to the contest. I've also posted it on Stamp TV HERE. We'll see.

Thanks for stopping by!
