<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">I'm posting this with a heavy heart but with total honesty. You may have noticed that we haven't posted anything since the release of our last tutorial. There are 2 reasons, both of them medical:</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">a) Gen is pregnant with her 3rd child and is having a very rough first semester</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">b) I just got out or surgery for an appendectomy gone wrong. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">So, in essence... we're taking a summer hiatus. We're not sure when things will get back to normal but feel free to browse through our blog for inspiration and ideas. Our store is still open if you want to purchase any of our tutorials as I will continue to monitor that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Have a nice stampin' day !!!</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a very quick project today. It's all about a pattern paper that makes a stand. Sometimes the background is so stunning that you don't really need a lot to decorate the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, how I love these monkeys and trains! The format is 3 X 6 tall and the pattern paper is from a Basic Grey paper pad (Oliver).</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the embellishment, I stamped a big B with Versamark on colored CS and heat embossed with clear EP. I typed the sentiment, printed it on my computer, punched it out then stuck it underneath the letter. I adhered the embellishment with Stampin' Dimensionals.</div>

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
Today I needed to make a happy new home card. After looking for my "good neighbor" stamp set from Stampin Up! for a least half an hour, I had to come up with a plan B... And there was my 1" square punch to the rescue...<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<br />
Today's project was made out of an urgent need. My 3 years old son really has trouble getting asleep, He is not scared, he doesn't scream or comes downstairs, he just stays in his bed and plays with whatever or he sings quietly, whispers to his bunny... the fact is that he just don't fall asleep before he was for 2h in his bed so about at 9h30 or 10h even if he s in bed since 7h30.We have a very constant bedtime routine and we tried lots of different things, staying in the doorway watching, taking all his toys away from his room, putting him into bed only at 9h30-10hish, putting music, letting him read and since nothing worked, now we're trying this, a little calendar where he is going to draw by himself a happy face if he fell asleep fast or a sad face if he had more trouble to get asleep with a wonderful prize at the end...<br />
<br />

<br />
The patterned paper is from 3 bugs in a rug "snips and snails" collection and I used whisper white, not quite navy and baja breeze to complete my project.<br />
<br />
I drew the first two night for him and then he's the one doing them...<br />

I'm sure you want to know what's the BIG prize... Well, for those of you who doesn't know already, I'm pregnant with my 3rd child and since William has shown a very big interest since we told him that there was a baby in Mommy's belly, we tought he would really appreciate to come to listen to the heartbeat and see the echography, and for now he his really motivated to show us own Big of a boy he is by learning to fall asleep faster... We'll see if it works...<br />

It's a mini gift card measuring 3" X 3" . I love making mini cards. These could be given with a gift or placed next to a cupcake given for a special occasion. How fun would it be to put one of these tiny cards at each place setting for a birthday dinner?!</div>

It's a very easy cake to build, I made my favorite chocolate+ banana cake in a 9X13 pan and used it for the meat. My hot milk white cake was cooked in a bowl and then slice in two to make the bread. A little leftover fondant for the cheese, salad and ketchup and voilà.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">If one would ask me what my favorite card format is, I would answer 3" X 6" tall. And you can get 4 cards out of a piece of 12" X 12" CS. Not bad!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
No need for sentiments... the DSP has them in profusion! Most of the supplies I used here comes from a retired Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like to make my own glitter cardstock and this is what I used here to punch out the scallop circle. I also added a contour of faux-stitches on the present with a white gel pen, as well as a rhinestone. </div>

The other card is using the same layout, but with a different color scheme.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguV3QVICdPzVauQtV7qn517-BpRLCbhDVmybBxjzCMDdnR9rKjoaziljb1NHsWKs8b6-XxbtCollvt7OXpe8Gug7eH60vhF3HBiqeTr9t5sSA-nLzYqMzB88GBYsbbxzFqvt9nhMKDXF4/s1600/birthday+gifts+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguV3QVICdPzVauQtV7qn517-BpRLCbhDVmybBxjzCMDdnR9rKjoaziljb1NHsWKs8b6-XxbtCollvt7OXpe8Gug7eH60vhF3HBiqeTr9t5sSA-nLzYqMzB88GBYsbbxzFqvt9nhMKDXF4/s640/birthday+gifts+5.jpg" width="388" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And on this one, I used 2 lines of faux-stitching on the present. Because they are so simple to make, you can quickly produce 8 cards using only 2 sheets of 12X12 CS and 1 sheet of 12X12 DSP. Not a bad deal!</div>

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
Today I want to share yet another page from my NYC album. The best and cheapest way to see lady liberty in New York is probably to use the ferry to Staten Island. It's FREE and fun.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Here's a card for a bunch of celebrations : birthday, graduation, retirement, new career, etc... </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOKjPdq7lyRRTsJdTUcGUoKr-6pgKbbIiTgNKoP4RXAoQClLKgaCNTfu8VM_StvsUtnwFuQxaN7U5joTQW1yu0Pfz7dBWCfCBEUPVav_hus8ac7ffqaTmXZD4yn3_Q4_Wj-q8JaoBXXM/s1600/celebrate+with+stars+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOKjPdq7lyRRTsJdTUcGUoKr-6pgKbbIiTgNKoP4RXAoQClLKgaCNTfu8VM_StvsUtnwFuQxaN7U5joTQW1yu0Pfz7dBWCfCBEUPVav_hus8ac7ffqaTmXZD4yn3_Q4_Wj-q8JaoBXXM/s640/celebrate+with+stars+2.jpg" width="508" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'd like to talk about anchoring here : visually, it's always more eye pleasing to anchor small embellishments to an existing element on your card. Notice how all 3 stars are touching the main sticker as well as the borders. That is called anchoring. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another design practice is to draw the eye in a triangular pattern. On this card, the eyes go immediately to the main element because they are drawn to the three stars forming a triangle.</div>
<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">Wouldn't it be fun to have a real cupcake with diamonds on it?! Alright so I have a very fertile imagination. :-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made this cupcake by tracing over an empty shape left after I've removed the original die-cut sticker from the backing sheet. You can see how I did this <a href="http://youtu.be/cvOCKKOpsO8">here</a>. Then I cut both shapes and matted them on white CS. Pretty simple. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">The DSP had small dots on it so I simply hid them with rhinestones! Because of the color scheme, I wouldn't hesitate to send this to a guy as well.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
in order to get rid of all the post it and miscellenious papers I took notes on while learning photoshop, I made this. My new photoshop friend friend, a place where I can find everything I've learned at once. I used chipboard old SU! paper, simple white sheets and my bind-it-all, I kept the design very basic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With the round tab punch I made some dividers for even efficiency.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I altered the main sentiment "Grad" with a stamped G from the Great Grads stamp set by Stampin' Up!, punched it out with a circle punch and adhered it over the orginal letter "g" with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love the effect.</div>

The graduation cap was also part of the sentiment but I stamped it again on Riding Hood Red CS with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with clear EP. Then I mounted it over the original cap with foam adhesives. </div>

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
This is was I've been working on last 3 weekends...Our very own Pirate Play Ship:<br />

My husband saw this play ground boat on the web and since he always wanted to be a pirate...We had to make one for the kids. The company called pirate play ships is located in the US so we couln'd affort them but by looking at their photos, I made my own plans and I 'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Here's the process:<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
Today I have a cake to show you, I made it last weekend for my sister birthday. My sister has Rett Syndrome a disorder of the nervous system that leads to developmental reversals, especially in the areas of expressive language and hand use. Some how a long time ago we decided we loved turtle, and since then, we always brought her turtle things. So my choice of cake design was obvious...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUnVHr7R-ebs57_4QEqYmWzwiVDBAC9wnkxtz2u3cdknhZgv4-KxfJBYRNzPSgRy2S786eDMVIK_S-htNIRZ57bgBV0JKI5f5TFAwnK1cRrE185GoQAdweMLEpwGMque6pU57nRxcG_v4/s1600/tortue+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUnVHr7R-ebs57_4QEqYmWzwiVDBAC9wnkxtz2u3cdknhZgv4-KxfJBYRNzPSgRy2S786eDMVIK_S-htNIRZ57bgBV0JKI5f5TFAwnK1cRrE185GoQAdweMLEpwGMque6pU57nRxcG_v4/s1600/tortue+1.jpg" t8="true" /></a></div>
The cake was decorated with fondant and the precious help of some cookie cutters (eyes and flowers). Underneath all this fondant, is a thin coat of chocolate icing and a very tender banana cake. since I didn't have a lot of time I opted for a very simple version of the turtle : hidding. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since I had some batter left I also made cupcakes with creamcheese chocolate frosting and a fondant flower exactly like the ones on the turtle. <br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
Recently was our dear friend Marie-Pierre birthday (<a href="http://mpcapistran.blogspot.com/">see her awesome stuff here</a>), so I made this card for her.<br />
<br />

I know she really loves coloring and I really love those owls so took out my prismacolor and Gamsol and the colors from the patterned paper (basic grey olivia collection) and voilà!<br />

If you look closely you will see the white "it's your birthday rub-on it's a little hidden by the busyness of the paper, but I still love it.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">I have two cards for you today and no stamping! They're both made with self-adhesive die cuts... a great way to save on time.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlgdV-jztA2JMqVITLcHRylMT1GojvKGANXgJY3XFL6F4C41CzBZPBRfFQFkgT1EgI4GeFX-1Zpx8PtlyZ31wydjVPmOoCSxuk_lTtILIqex4Y0Zu6Kk5GWe6JTyb4S3CuLKQmBfupIs/s1600/make+a+wish+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="534px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlgdV-jztA2JMqVITLcHRylMT1GojvKGANXgJY3XFL6F4C41CzBZPBRfFQFkgT1EgI4GeFX-1Zpx8PtlyZ31wydjVPmOoCSxuk_lTtILIqex4Y0Zu6Kk5GWe6JTyb4S3CuLKQmBfupIs/s640/make+a+wish+2.jpg" width="640px" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The card base was hiding in my stash because it had been previously cut at the bottom and I wasn't using it because of that. So adding a scallop border solved the problem. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PEAR5e4HwIjYUb85WnSzEkBCpLapqm4C5Yod67DqUxsSV_04QhYbPOniqQoq-D2oIy7BMlO5kWMg7-s36acx879UxdjoNud1-pOZjKhAhNS82fUqnozCqABPQ4GNyGwskxQV3HZbPkM/s1600/make+a+wish+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PEAR5e4HwIjYUb85WnSzEkBCpLapqm4C5Yod67DqUxsSV_04QhYbPOniqQoq-D2oIy7BMlO5kWMg7-s36acx879UxdjoNud1-pOZjKhAhNS82fUqnozCqABPQ4GNyGwskxQV3HZbPkM/s640/make+a+wish+3.jpg" width="640px" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "make a wish" was actually part of a border sticker but I cut it off and layered it over the two text circles. I love the layering of different fonts. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcP0Nm0AD1O2N8kY0VnvEunkdGdz2mfW1Nb_zQClyputvD5FLeRFUfHd-dM1NsuZkBa-ItgDeutqO-8fLhUSAoqTYcDgqe2PVG7iJE0U7dPtooBHqxw7ZFhJuNIAx75yfcwaD3_nEJel0/s1600/make+a+wish+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="620px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcP0Nm0AD1O2N8kY0VnvEunkdGdz2mfW1Nb_zQClyputvD5FLeRFUfHd-dM1NsuZkBa-ItgDeutqO-8fLhUSAoqTYcDgqe2PVG7iJE0U7dPtooBHqxw7ZFhJuNIAx75yfcwaD3_nEJel0/s640/make+a+wish+4.jpg" width="640px" /></a></div>
<br />
A bling can dress up the plainest of embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's the second card. Same layout, different embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I added a little star in the center of the "o" for added interest.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope everyone had a great weekend. The summer is almost here and that also means the end of school for many. Some will even graduate! Here's a card that can be adapted for various occasions, including a graduation.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think the stars are very representative of someone who graduates, don't you think? To achieve this look, I layered 3 different borders from a retired Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up! The sentiment was also part of a border but I doctored it to look like a banner.</div>

I love these cute rectangular rhinestones but I wish I'd remember to save the packaging because I have no idea where they come from! <br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
At the beginning of the month I showed you a layout of the carroussel of NY Central Park, I had so much fun doing it that I decided to do the whole trip with almost the same layout and to get a photo book printed at paperkiwi. I haven't received it yet but I will show you another double page. <br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever needed a last-minute card and wished you had something in your stash you could adapt for a special occasion or theme? Here's a trick: look at your left-over stash and find a group of coordinating die-cuts, pattern paper or any other like products and make it your goal to produce as many cards as possible with them. Try to keep those cards as generic as possible and when you're done put them in your stash. Then, when that last-minute request occurs you'll be ready!</div>
<br />
That's exactly what this card is all about.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a very simple card but it'll work for either a man or a woman or even a teenager! I can see this being adapted for a graduation, retirement, promotion, new home, new car, etc... And by keeping the embellishments sober (no bling, no flower), it's gender neutral.</div>
<br />

<br />
The die-cuts are from a retired Stampin' Up! kit I had in my stash. I quite like these little asymmetrical squares. It gives this plain card a little whimsy. Check out what you have in your stash and get to it!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Have a nice stampin' day !!!</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span> <br />
<br />
Today, I played with glitter, it's messy but so worth the mess...<br />

Patterned paper is from the Olivia collection from Basic grey, and the cupcake double sided adhesive sticker is a Dazzle from hot of the press. So easy to use.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Well soccer season has started so I thought I'd share another sports card with you. As with my card from last Thursday, the supplies are from Hot Off the Press. </span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The front of the card was trimmed by 1-1/4" at the bottom to expose the inside of the card. I love the printed twill ribbon. The soccer ball was not part of the kit; I printed it from my computer and punched it out with a circle punch. </div>

I love when my cards are decorated inside. It adds such a nice touch. <br />
<br />

<br />
The metal embellishment was a very bright (almost lime green) flag that didn't quite fit with the card so I altered it with alcohol inks, a Sharpie Poster marker and some brads. I quite like the result.<br />
