Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Can you believe the holidays are so close? I know my time is going to pass way too quickly. I wanted to create this card and found I had no Thanksgiving stamps, I know you can't believe that. But I put on my thinking cap and it hit me - Stampin' Up!'s new My Digital Studio. It's a software program that is a digital papercrafting program for the computer. I searched the stamps section and found this pumpkin. i printed off enough to make my cards for Thanksgiving. At my next workshop I will show you some of the neat things you can do with this program. Contact me if you are interested in learning more about my free workshops.

Triore Hot Air Ballon

Working on this week's demonstrator swap for Stampin' Up!. We needed to use something from the new Holiday Mini Catalog, so I combined my favorite paper technique (Triore) with the Sweet Centers stamp set. If you would like to know about either the technique or the Holiday Mini - just visit my website www.patsyrinella.stampinup.net

Holly Wood

This is for Holly Wood, my friend Annie's dog. She stands almost as tall as me. Yesterday I walked into Annie's classroom and she was busy so I went to say hi to Holly and she was so excited to see me that she jumped up on me and stood on her back legs. Obviously she is a standard poodle, but boy of boy is she tall.

Dora the Explorer

My beautiful granddaughter, Taylor, is turning 3 in 3 weeks. She is having a Dora the Explorer birthday party. I've designed this one to go onto the gift bags for her friends. I've used the new Stampin' Up! exclusive Build a Bear die cuts and Stampin' Up! punches to create Dora. Let me know what you think.

Butterfly girl

I've been cruisin' the net and found this cutie. I think I will use this design for the cards for my future daughter in laws overnight bridal shower. It's a spa theme. The original idea came from a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator named Ellen Kemper.

Getting ready for Christmas. The ornament punch is used for this elf's head and hat. I also used Stampin' Up!'s Build A Bear Sizzix dies to create the body and clothes for the elf. If you like any of the designs you see and want to own the supplies needed to recreate them yourself, just visit my Stampin' Up! website www.patsyrinella.stampinup.net

Ornament Punch from Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! has this great punch available only in the new holiday mini catalog. It is an ornament. Well as an ornament, it has a limited usage - WRONG! I've compiled some of the projects I've made using this punch as not an ornament. Enjoy!

Paper Punches

Another favorite paper craft for me is using my punches. I love creating images with punches, saves all that cutting out. I created this demonstrator using only Stampin' Up! punches. Let me know what you think!

Triangle Paper Crafting

I've been interested in paper crafting since 1989. I've enjoyed the mechanics and the figuring out how things are done. This technique is called Triore. I couldn't find patterns so I created my own using my Sizzix die cuts and graph paper.
