New House: Bitty Bird House

This is the 3-D birdhouse we made in the "Birds of a Feather" class. (Yes, despite the snow, we managed to get in one of the 2 classes I had scheduled! WooHoo!) This cute little house is made from our new Milk Carton Die. It uses a small piece of Window Sheet to hold the candy inside, the new heart border trim punch, the new Large bird punch and the 1 1/4" circle punch. This was so easy and so much fun. Can't you just imagine it with a heart on the roof, and give it as Valentines' gifts?

Hope you enjoyed our House tour this week. Don't I work with a great group of truly gifted, talented, and creative ladies??? I am so lucky to be a part of this group of RemARKable stampers, and you can too. Email me and ask me how: HalfwittStamps@aol.com
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

RAD Open House Tour Starts Thursday, Feb. 4th!

Tomorrow is day #1 of our RemARKable Open House Blog Tour –you are going to wowed by the creativity and imagination of my fellow team members.Each RemARKable on this tour is offering the same class to their customers that includes the HOUSE PDF/Pattern, and an IDEA sheet with a total of 30 house ideas on it. As one of my customers if you have not yet registered for the class it is being held on FEBRUARY 27th at 2 p.m. and again at 6 p.m.

Today, I want to share with you a card that I made for one of my stamp clubs last week. I used an embossing folder to create the background for this card, and then I embossed an additional sheet of card stock (rose red, this time) and used it to punch out the flowers with our new large Flower Punch. The center of the flower uses felt flowers from our Sweet Pea felt flowers embellishments! I topped it off with a ribbon slide from the Very Vanilla Hardware kit. I love the way this card turned out! See you tomorrow for our exciting Open House tour! (Pun intended, as the houses really do open up! lol

Open House Tour Coming Soon!

The RAD Open House Tour begins tomorrow - with our first view of the houses, and let me tell you, having seen them, this is one very creative group of ladies! These little houses make great gifts. I will be having a class in March, where we make one of the BASIC houses, and when you take the class, you will be given an idea sheet that shows 30 creative ways to make this house! Hopefully these will provide inspiration for your very own house. Remember, come back tomorrow to see my house, and more importantly to go on to the other members of this group to see lots of other ways to design a house!

Now for today's post! This is the 2-page spread that my scrapbook class did this month. It is very similar to the 2 pages that we made at Jan Wakeland's RAD weekend in December. I love the look of a quilt square on the page at the left. I grew up in a quilting household and so this one really appeals to me. My two little granddaughters really liked the snowman. I just need to get some of the snow pictures on the pages! Remember, come back tomorrow and see what is New in the neighborhood!

Love Birds

Good morning! Just had to share this card with you. I found it while I was blog hopping, and decided to make a couple of changes and make it for my anniversary card to my husband! Hope I haven't lost it by then. lol The base is real red adn the next layer is basic black. The white layer is embossed with an embossing folder. I used the new heart embossing folder to make hte red heart, and the layer on top of it is punched with our large heart punch. It is embossed vellum. the little heart is made with the new heart punch, as are the birds. The beautiful red bow is made from our new red satin ribbon and is topped with a red corduroy button. I truly believe my favorite new punch is the birds punch. In fact, I am doing a class on February 6th, called "Birds of a Feather" and we will be making a mini bird house and 3 Bird cards. I am really looking forward to this class. I will share some of the samples after the class is over. Thanks for stopping by!
