Make and take samples

I made these cards along with a few others for our upcoming make and take - I don't know yet which of my cards will be picked for it but wanted to share them with you. I will take pictures of the rest later and add them. On the first two the only stamping is from the stamp set Love you much and the envelopes are made from the big shot die, the hearts from the new heart punch. On the green one I used the Fresh Cuts stamp set, chocolate chip, pretty in pink, kiwi kiss, and whisper white papers. My image is stamped in chocolate chip, and there is a little pink on the bottom right corner and top left corner around the flowers - The final card was made with the big shot top note die, I put 2 of them together and folded down the front part a little, added some ribbon and hearts - on the pull out card it is stamped w/Love you much from the love you much stamp set.

Love you pillow box.

Hello Everyone, I made this for Ann's challenge this week - be sure to check out her place and join in on the fun at blog. Her challenge this week was anything goes - using any new products, a minimum of 2 from Stampin' Up!! I chose the Love you much stamp set, used the new hearts punch also. My colors are rose red paper embossed w/the cuttlebug script embossing folder through my Big Shot and then the box was cut out with the Big shot and pillow box die. The hearts are on whisper white paper, then punched out - some are on dimensionals and I also added a pink taffeta ribbon. Thanks for checking out my stuff.

Pooh in the clouds

Hello Everyone,

It has been a bit since I posted - I want to try and post more this year for everyone. I made this card for Ann's challenge this week of a one layer card - no extra cardstock. I dry embossed pooh bear and highlighted the embossing with markers, then filled him in with chalk. I used the new stamp sets Flight of a Butterfly and Just Buzzin' By for the hunny pot, flowers and butterflys that are stamped. I also didn't pay attention when I embossed so my card is unique because it open's backwards that is why the ribbon is on the opposite side of normal. Even mistakes make a good card. Be sure to join in on Ann's challenges.

Early Valentines!!

Hello Everyone - It is that time again for Ann's challenge and this time she has chosen Valentines!! What a great choice so we can start thinking about what we want to do. For mine I used the new set coming out called Love you much. The hearts in the corner are with the new heart punch and my papers are real red, pretty in pink, and close to cocoa along with the new candy lane DSP. I was not sure if I liked this new DSP much or not but I do love the way it turned out on this particular card. I also used the real red grosgrain ribbon. Be sure to check out Ann's challenges and join in the fun.

Sleigh ride

This is my Christmas card for this year to everyone. I made 100 of these and might have to still make a few more. I borrowed the idea from a card that I recieved but i also changed it some to make it mine. I used Sleigh Bells Ring stamp set, night of navy and whisper white cardstock, night of navy ink. On the holly I used my copics markers. I added dazzling diamonds where the snow would be but that is hard to see on this picture. The card itself didn't take long to make, the longest part was coloring and cutting the holly which is up on a dimensional.

Snowman has a gift!!

My snowman has a gift inside - he is holding a gift card that you can't see. He is my item for Ann's challenge this week - a gift giving item!! She gave a great tutorial on how to make this holder, be sure to check it out and make one too - join in on the fun. I used baja breeze, choc. chip, whisper white, basic black, riding hood red, tangerine tango, and ski slope DSP papers - I punched out my snowman with circle, square, word window, and a tree punches - I used a dimensional on my do not open until december 25 - My snowman has glitter on him however this picture does not do it justice, for the glitter I used my atyou spica copic marker - they are great. I used several rub-ons for the snow on top and the saying from Season of Cheer set. Velcro holds this guy together at the top, the soft sky double stitch ribbon is for decortaion only, not the fastner. On the inside is a legal evelope folded in half and cut open at each end - to see a picture of the inside check out Ann's blog as I forgot the picture of my inside.

My first Christmas card this year!!!

This is my first Christmas card of the year - so many more to come!! My cards that I am sending to everyone are different from this but now I really like this one alot. I made this card for Ann's challenge this week also. I used some of my retired stuff - purely pomegranite, wild wasabi paper, ribbons, and ink. I also used whisper white paper and a dimensional to apply the tag on which is punched with the scallop square punch. Ann's challege for this week is a simple sketch, the best time to join in - I don't think the challenge could be any easier. You can only have 2 layers along with your base layer, and one additional piece for your saying. The inner layers had to be smaller to create more of a frame from the base layer and the only embellishment is ribbon. Be sure to check out Ann's blog and join in on the fun.

Such a cutie

What a cute penguin huh - I didn't create him myself, I seen him somewhere on splitcoast but can't find him again on there to give you the link. I borrowed whoever's sample and changed the colors of paper in a few spots. I used baja breeze, whisper white, basic black, tangerine tango, pink pirouette, bella rose dsp, and ski slope dsp. I punched the penguin with the wide oval, large oval, small oval, boho blossoms, 1/4 circle, 1 3/8 circle, 1 1/4 circle, 1/2 circle, and the small circle on the crop-a-dile punches. I used white taffetta ribbon for the bow and for the scarf used bernat boa (found in the sewing section at jo-anns). My stamp set for the saying is Snow Swirled. This card was created for Ann's challenge this week - be sure to check out her site and join in on the fun.
