Some Window Art Plus A Tutorial

I just had to show you these little people and then thought I would show you how easy they are to put up. I even had my 7 year help me!! Check out all the different Decor Elements we have in our awesome brand new catalog HERE.
These are the All in the Family Decor Elements and they are too stinkin' cute!!!!

After taking them out of their wrapper you will want to turn them over and using your Decor Elements Applicator you will rub the back side to transfer the image to the front paper.

After transferring the image you will slowly pull the two pieces apart. The image should be transferred to the top piece of the sticky paper.


Place the sticky paper with the image on it to what ever you want the image on. Then take your Applicator Tool and rub the image onto the area you want the image transferred to.

Take the top left corner and slowly pull the sticky paper away.

This is easy enough that my 7 year old can even do it.

Jordan was so proud of yourself!!! She always likes to help her mom decorate anything!!

Didn't these turn out too cute?? AND yes I put these on my back window of my car. Our Decor Elements are perfect for anything inside or out!!!

These All in the Family Decor Elements are only $3.95 a piece and perfect for your car or mailbox!!!
Have a great day!!!!
**edited to add that these decor elements do hold up to the weather, elements and car washing just fine!! there is no fading either due to the sun!!

EEK!! & Stamping 411

It is Saturday again and that means another sketch has been uploaded to the Stamping 411 Blog!! I hope lots of you will play along this week with us!! These sketches are always so much fun to work with!!!
Here is my take on this sketch. I hope you all like it!!! I sure did have fun making this one!!!

I used the brand new Sweet Centers stamp set yet again but this time I finally am using the new Sweet Treat Cups. These are sooooo much fun to play with and very easy to put together!! I also used the Cast-A-Spell DSP, Perfect Plum, Basic Black & Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, Basic Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon and the 1 3/4" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, 1 1/4" Circle & Horizontal Punches.



Just look at those skittles inside the Sweet Treat Cup!! Too stinkin' cute!!!!

Make sure you hop on over to the Stamping 411 Blog and play along this week. You have until Wednesday to add a link to your creation to get in on the voting for the Stampers Showcase.

Have a great day!!!

Enjoy,
Tiffany

Bloggers Challenge #114-Sketch

Friday again and I am all ready for Bloggers Challenge!!! This week our challenge is a sketch and you all know how much I love sketches!! I really had fun with this sketch playing with brand new product from the Holiday Mini that will be available September 1st. I just can't wait for this mini to go live!!!!! You probably already know this because I keep saying it!!!!
Here is the sketch and below is how I interrupted it. For my card I really kept it simple and I really like how it turned out!! I hope you all like it too!!

I used the brand new stamp set called Sweet Centers, I used it on this project I posted yesterday seen HERE, the brand new Pawsitively Prints DSP, Ballet Blue & So Saffron Cardstock, Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Wide Oval & Curly Label Punches, Rhinestone Brads and another stamp set called Teeny Tiny Wishes.


I really like how the hot air balloon turned out!!! I used three wide oval punches instead of the Sweet Treat Cups that are brand new too!! I will be showing you a card tomorrow using the Sweet Treat Cups and you can see how cute they are!!

I also love coming up with different ways of putting a sentiment on my cards. Make sure to check out all the other ladies in this awesome group to see how they interrupted this sketch!!

Have a great day!!!

A Punchy Kind of Tree!!

It is time again for another great challenge from Late Night Stampers Yahoo Group and this week it is Challenge #34-Let's Get Punchy. That's right it is all about using our punches!! You can create anything you like as long as you use 100% current Stampin' Up! product and upload it to the Member's Photo Album by Sunday at midnight.
I still have not come up with a way to take pictures of my projects that I 100% like so sorry about this awful picture!! The colors are just not right!!
For my card I used the Autumn Traditions DSP, Soft Suede & Ruby Red Cardstock, Soft Suede Polk-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Natural Twine, Modern Label, 3/4" Circle & 1/2" Circle Punches, my Big Shot with the Magnetic Movers & Shapers and the stamp sets called Branch Out & Falling Leaves.

Love the fact that the Magnetic Movers & Shapers has a die that mats the Modern Label Punch!!!


Gotta love all the cherries and the bird in the tree!!! Too cute!!

I hope some of you will join us this week and play along!! This is a great challenge, who doesn't love our punches??
