Merry Christmas

I hope you all have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will be with family this year and look forward to meeting our future daughter in law on New Year's Eve! Now if only our daughter could come home for a visit soon...

I will be posting in a few days with some new products!

Christmas Purse

I have to thank Angie Juda for the wonderful idea made with the Big Shot! I used the scallop die to cut all my material! So fast and simple and then just added batting and sewed them together with a straight stitch. Let me know if you want to order your own Big Shot and if you need instructions. Watch for different fabric purses to come in the near future.

Thanksgiving Blessing Box

This cute Blessing Box idea came from Angie Juda, who is an inspiration to me! Thank you Angie for all your ideas. I added my own choice of papers and design. All my house guests (10 at this point) will receive a Blessing Box and a Turkey Nugget on their pillows!
Hope you enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving Card

This is a cute Thanksgiving card made mostly from punches. I used the large oval punch for the pumpkin and the scallop punch for the turkey along with a few others. I did not make up the pattern myself but have seen it on many other sites and had to try it myself!

Decor Vintage Ornament Stencils

These were so fun and fast to make! I love it! I used a 5 X 7 and a 3.5 X 5 inch frames from the dollar store. I sponged on Real Red, Old Olive and Soft Suede then the Platinum Shimmer Paint. So fast and easy. I recommend a very light touch with just a small amount of the shimmer paint because it does leak under the stencils.

Cottage Wall Anniversary Card

This is a special Anniversary Card my daughter and I made for her grandparents and my in laws. We had a lot of fun using the big shot.

We Have Arrived!

We are now in Southern California! The trip was good but exhausting. God is so good and provided each step of the way and continues to provide for us. We are still waiting to get in our house so it will be a little while longer before I am settled and able to add projects and video's to my blog. Thank you for your patience and please keep checking back for updates. Also you will want to visit my website for the CLEARANCE RACK and Sales Of The Week! www.gmansfield.stampinup.net. There are 3 must have punches on sales this week so don't miss out! I just sent out my October email newsletter and if you did not receive it please let me know and I will send you one right away. If there are projects or ideas you would like me to teach online just let me know. I love hearing from you!

Happy Stamping!

On our Way!

Well we are on our way! We left Silver Creek, NY on Sunday Sept. 27th and we are now staying with some very good friends (family) in Illinois! We will leave here on Wed. the 29th and head to Oklahoma then to NM and finally to CA! I am going thru stamping withdrawals!! Can't wait to get settled again. I promise more creative video's and projects once I am settled again. Don't forget to check my Stampin' Up! website for the clearance area too!

The Elves Are Getting Ready!

This cute little guy was made from punches! It is amazing what you can create with our punches. I didn't dream him up all on my own, Andrea Walford and her sister Sophia Landry were my inspiration and I added a few details of my own. I also used chalks to give him color and make him realistic. Let me know if you would like a class on how to make him and a lot more punch art!

SOLD!

Well by now I think everyone knows about our upcoming move and it is safe to post about it. We are down to two weeks tomorrow to the closing date we want, however we still haven't heard from the two lawyers for the actual closing date. The buyers are pushing for Sept 22nd which really scared us but I don't think that will happen. We are not able to be out of the house til the 2nd of Oct. We have reserved our moving truck for the 30th!! I can't wait to get what little we have left, packed and loaded. 95% of everything is packed but it's the last minute things you need to leave out that drive me crazy. God has been so amazing in working thru this whole process, from the sale, to the flood, to the closing and I know He will continue to work out all the little details that are still unclear. God turned what was a traumatic mess (the flood) into a blessing in disguise! We are so grateful for all He has done and continues to do. Thanks for all you faithful friends and family out their that have and continue to hold us up in prayer! We love you all dearly.

Peek-A-Boo Eastern Blooms

This card was fun to make! You can't tell in the photo but it has a sliding window when you open the card. So Cute. I was inspired by this pattern I got from another demonstrator, Dawn! Thanks Dawn! I used Dusty Durango and Soft Suede cardstock. 1 1/4 punch, scallop circle punch, word window punch, Eastern Blooms and Teeny Tiny Wished stamp set.

Thank You

Isn't this little birdie so cute? He comes in the Fun and Fast Notes too. This is such a versatile stamp set everyone must have. On this card I used our In Colors of Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede. I also used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, another must have! The punches are Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" circle, Word Window and Scallop Edge. I used our Mat Pack and paper piercer on the corners. Add some chalks, dimensional, white gel pen and ribbon of choice and you have a very sweet card.

You're on My Mind!

Here is another very quick card if you have the right tools. I used my Big Shot Top Note die. I used Pretty in Pink an Soft Suede card stock and the Upsy Daisy stamp set. Add some dimensionals and ribbon and your done!

Get Well Wishes

This bright and cheery card was created with our new In Color cardstock in Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry. I also used the Fun and Fast Notes and our fantastick chalk to color in. The background is embossed on my Big Shot! I just love the Big Shot you can do so many things with it. It's definetly a must have for everyone. The punches are Word Window, Ticket, and Scallop edge. I love all our punches they really make a difference in any card you create, to go from plain to extrodinary!

Thanks for Sharing You with Me!

This darling card is so cute, fast and easy. Don't you just love this little porcupine? He brings a smile to my face everytime I see him. I used Pretty in Pink Card stock, Fun and Fast Notes stamp set and the Fast Flowers wheel to create this card. Add some chalk, layering and ribbon and you have a quick card to send a note to someone special.
