Sherry Cheever did a wonderful job about snow that some of us are getting chills! Thank you, Sherry, on all those inspirational projects made with S4-222 Create-A-Flake One Shapeabilities® and S4-224 Snowflake Borderabilities® Petite! Remember to enter our Blog Frenzy contest by sending in an email by July 18th (11:59 PM EST) - the link is on Sherry’s blog!

On Day Ten, we have Design Team Member Debbie Seyer revealing our newest one, S4-233 Labels Nine die template.

Do you have a scrap room or a scrap area?
I have this nice little corner of my basement. My husband, Keith, fixed it up with cabinets and a small counter (where my Wizard™ sits) plus room for extra tables and my computer.

Are you a messy crafter or an organized crafter?
I am an extremely messy crafter. I usually have my kids help me clean up all the bits of cardstock, glitter, etc. every couple of weeks. My supplies are pretty well organized. At least, I know where they are!

Favorite color combinations to work with?
I love the Pink/Brown color combo and variations of it! I use it a lot and just love those colors together.

Are you an altered arts, scrapbook or card kinda gal?
I am definitely a card kinda gal. I love to make cards and find it’s the easiest part of my design team projects to fulfill!

Who is your favorite promotional partner?
I actually have two favorites. My Mind’s Eye is one. I just love the beautiful patterned papers. It’s all so colorful and easy to work with. I like Core’dinations cardstock. It is such a unique product to work with. I love all the different looks you can get with it when sanding, embossing or distressing.

Just some of Debbie’s most recent creations!

Talk about Christmas in July! Julie Overby reminded us of the holiday season with her use of the S7-016 Poinsettia Border Grand…great projects, Julie! Don’t forget to enter our Frenzy contest by sending in an email by July 17th (11:59PM EST)…the email link is in Julie’s blog.

To continue with the holiday theme, Sherry Cheever will be showing us the next reveal for Day Nine which is S4-222 Create-A-Flake One Shapeabilities® and S4-224 Snowflake Border Petite.

Sherry has been doing some sort of crafting since she was a little girl. Craft items were always available to her as a child from crayons to paints by numbers. From a kind neighbor, she learned how to knit. Her aunt taught Sherry how to embroider and cross-stitch. She painted with oils and watercolors for many years. Even earned some spending money in college by selling watercolor paintings of race cars at the local speedway. Sherry was introduced to rubber stamping when her girls were young and eventually became her craft of choice. Sherry’s favorite Spellbinders die template (for now) are the S4-138 Petite Ovals, Large and S4-085 Snowflake Wonder Shapeabilities® (how timely!). She enjoys creating cards and dabbling in altered items. Sherry considers her style to be very eclectic.

How many years of crafting?
I have been doing some type of crafting ever since I was little and I have been stamping for 20 + years.

A little over two years

Your favorite Spellbinders™ technique?
Reverse Stenciling

Your favorite Spellbinders™ die?

One thing you get inspiration from and why?
I seem to find the most inspiration when I am listening to music and surprisingly it’s music that I might not otherwise listen too—LOL! I’m not really sure why, all I know is that it gets the creativity flowing.

How many years of crafting?
I’ve been crafting in one or another since I was about 8 years old. I remember weaving pot holders and selling them to the neighbors for pennies (I guess you can say that was my first paying job too). That would mean, that I’ve been crafting for 42 years now.

How long have you been blogging?
I started my own website in November of 2005 with daily posts. When Splitcoaststampers offered blogs to the Daily Dozen Alumni, I jumped on the bandwagon and my first blog post there was February 24, 2007.

Your favorite Spellbinders™ die?
I think my favorite Spellbinders dies are the S4-202 Large Deckled Rectangles and the S4-201 Small Deckled Rectangles Nestabilities® and the S4-085 Snowflake Wonder Shapeabilities®.

Favorite food/beverage for crafting?
I always have coffee or Diet Coke (and sometimes chocolate) close at hand.

One thing you get inspiration from and why?
Most times I draw inspiration from art work of wallpaper that I see in different places that I go. I also like to browse the Kohl’s Sunday ads for pictures of any art they might have on sale.

Here are some of Sherry’s recent works of art!

I admit it.  I can’t for the life of me cut a perfect square.  That makes Spellbinders’ Square die templates perfect for me!  Squares are so versatile in scrapbooking, card making and even multi-media, they’re something everyone should own.  Lets explore some artwork and see why its so hip to be Square!

Heidi Blankenship is hip!  She shows off not only the Classic squares, but the Inverted Scallops and how they look layered the the Classic Scallops.  Great Job, Heidi! She used S4-196 Large Classic Inverted Squares, S4-129 Small Classic Scallop Squares, and S4-191 Dahlia.

Heidi Blankenship

Becca Feeken is hip! She cut a frame from the Scalloped Circle  and layered her stamped image with squares.  I love it, Becca! She used S4-128 Classic Squares Small and S4-125 Classic Scalloped Circles Small.

Becca Feeken

Sherry Cheever is hip! She mounted artwork on the squares and matted with the larger scalloped square and made a beautiful focal point.

Sherry Cheever

When you open the card, you see that she also used a square to cut an opening in the front of the card. Great idea, Sherry! She used S4-126 Classic Squares, Large, and S4-127 Classic Scalloped Squares, Large.

Sherry Cheever

Debbie Olson is hip! Her square would make anyone smile. Fabulous, Debbie! She used S4-129 Classic Scalloped Squares, Small and S4-128 Classic Squares, Small

Debbie Olsen

I love hanging out with these hip ladies, don’t you?
Happy Savvy Saturday!
