Easter Fun Crafts, Craft Show, and other ramblings.

What the story Morning Glory? Wow! It's been many days since I left a little conversation for ya, huh?
Well... Sale-a-bration ended with a bang! (Sorry to see it end though - so much fun!!) I've been busy getting ready for the HeART of Yukon Craft Event and I had a great time there. (I'll share some pics of that in a minute.) Let's see, what else have I been up to? Oh I know! Had a great time with my Fancy Fold class. I will post one Fancy Fold card each week - with tutorials! (Uh oh! Now it's spoken into the universe. I'm committed. lol) Hm... and I made a fun wedding card. Working on name tags and treats for my INK Demos meeting this Saturday. Looking forward to seeing my girls - always!!
That's enough reading. Let's look at some pictures!!

This is one of the projects we made at my March Stamp club!

It is an Accordion Fold Card or Step Fold Card.

We used some great stuff from the Occasions Mini!

This is a really fun  and EASY technique! We used Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper and the adorable Sweet Cake stamp set, both still available through the end of April. My club girls also got to play with the new Stampin' Up! e used the Label Framelit here. What a great addition to our crafting!! If you would like to make this, just leave me a comment and I'll send you the dimensions.

Cutie little Easter "Peep-a-boo". Made with the Matchbox Die.

Basket full of fresh made Easter Carrots. Even the Easter Bunny can't grow 'em like this!

Easter and Spring Necklaces made from Beveled Windowpanes. Cute!

Plus a charm!

and Taffeta Ribbon!

and Flower Brads!

I just love these!! Filled with Jelly Beans, of course.

Extra! Extra! Fun Easter Bunny Box!!!

I am needing to add a few more crafty girls to my Stamp Clubs so I am "encouraging" (bribing) my current members to bring a friend or two. I told them that if they bring a friend I will have an Extra (Special) project planned just for them to enjoy crafting together. Here is the cutie Extra (Special) project for this month:

Bring a friend and make this Extra (Special) project with her at stamp club this weekend!

Hello 2012!!!

Happy New Year!
I had the best time this morning. "What did I do", you ask? Well, let me tell you about it. I got to spend the morning with an amazing group of creative women - and we were all in our PJs!
Instead of have our regular monthly meeting of my Stampin' Up! family, we had a Virtual Meeting. I called it "INK 'n PJs". We had lots of sharing and chatting and even several challenges. I asked everyone to tell me one thing they would like to accomplish in their Stampin' Up! business by the end or our year, which ends June 30, and one action step they will take to get there. Wow! What great goals, and I believe everyone is willing to work hard to achieve them. Together we will encourage each other and hold each other accountable to do our best. Just doesn't get any better than that!

One of my goals is to NOT NEGLECT MY BLOG. So, I am really going to try to post at least once a week (or more often, when I can) and show more stamped art. Let me know what you think. I love to hear from you!!

I mentioned  the challenges we had today, well here is one of them.

 My dear friend, Margaret found this sketch for us to use as inspiration for our own work. There were some really great cards created.

This is the card I created from the sketch. I changed the shape from rectangle to square and used the Scallop Square Clear die in my Big Shot to create the card base in Marina Mist. (I love my Big Shot!!) I just got my new Pennant Builder Wheel and decided that would make a cute piece in place of the solid strip across the middle. I wheeled 3 times, each in a different color- Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi & Melon Mambo. Then cut it out and layered the different color pennants. I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (I love my Big Shot!!) on the white square to give it fun texture and layered that on a piece of Wild Wasabi. Then I stamped the birthday cake and sentiment from Bring On the Cake stamp set and layered those on top. I think it turned out pretty cute, don't you? If you would like to try this sketch I'd love to see what you come up with. Shoot me a picture and I'll feature it on my blog and "reward" you. 

Well, I don't want to over do it, so that's all for now. Please leave me a comment if you like my card. I love to hear from you!!

Thanks for visiting My Stamping Table.

Pennants For All Occasions!!

Finding new ways to use one of my favorite toys is always fun!! My challenge was to come up with a variety of sample using the NEW Petite Pennant Punch and Pennant Parade Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! I LOVE these two items and pennants are all the rage right now so, Way to Go Stampin' Up!!

 This is a cute little wedding gift enclosure card. Aren't the little bride and groom adorable?! Yep! They are made with the Pennant Punch.

 How about an Ice Cream Come Birthday card. The pennant stamps and punch make a really cute and easy ice cream cone. Cute little tiny pennants on the inside too! Wouldn't they be cute on a baby card?! I'll have to get right on that. lol
