Thoughts & Prayers

Using a touch of dsp really takes a card front a long ways i think! This cute little stem is from the set Of the Earth (level 1 hostess). Using my stampin write markers i colored it the two dif colors to match my card! The little 'tear' drop looking things i found @ the scrap store in RV. I've seen them used quite a bit online and wanted to give them a try myself! I likes!

Thought's & Prayers

so if you have been wondering why all the sympathy cards... well i organized my stuff of already stamped cards (for the first time ever...) into all the different categories and yes, the "Thinking of you/Sympathy" category had no cards in it... therefore, i set myself the task of producing a bunch for that slot!

Thought's & Prayers

Is this ribbon almost tasty looking??? Ok well maybe that's streching a bit but I think it's so stinkin pretty! I would be proud to give this card to anyone! You can see the big jumbo grommet(they were just on special a bit ago) above and it works slick to attach it only to half of my tree piece and then i tied on my ribbon to that. I really like how it turned out... Also, if you don't have the big shot, background stamps are a great way to go as well. I used the retired paisley background stamp and i really like how it turned out~

ps. my inspiration came from here

paper: close to cocoa, old olive, whisper white
ink: close to cocoa, old olive

Delightful Decorations

Want a simple idea for your Christmas card? Here you go, w/o having to do ANY cropping! This card is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" (bottom old olive, so exactly 1/2 a sheet). The picture is a regular 4x6 matted on whisper white. Then all i did was punch out 2 ornaments from my stamp set Delightful Decorations(in the Christmas Mini right now!) and add a bit of bling(dazzling diamonds). I found the envelopes @ Walmart ... they are greeting card envelopes for approx $5.50 for 50 of them? I also have them on hand if you like for $.08 each and you don't want to buy 50 ...

supplies:
paper: basic black, old olive, whisper white
ink: old olive
stamps: delightful decorations

Build a Bear Thank you...

So after the girl's celebrated their birthday's together, i wanted to put together some cards as thank yous that they could 'sign' and give to the givers... this is one that i came up w/. Cute lil girl bear complete w/ her accessory bag and hair bow! tip: on this particular one i just snipped a bit of her hand so the bag could be 'held' better! Oh, and for QUICK put together on the face, punch out a circle and paste behind the head of the bear so you don't have to mess w/ the TINY little pieces!

Gift Card holder for Christmas ...

This is what it looks like finished
here we have our 8 1/2 X 4" sheet . Score 3 1/2 " from each side and then 1 1/2" inbetween those two lines(so you end up w/ 3 score lines total. Fold it accordion style. Then i took my library card, traced just the tip of it and cut out w/ a scissors. Then punch a 1/2" circle w/ your 1/2" circle punch for a cute tab.
When you seal the bottom of your pocket to house your gift card make sure you only tape the corners or just put a wee bit of sticky strip along the very bottom... you have to allow room for your card to slide in the pocket!
I used the Jumbo wheel bold snowflakes to roll along the front and back using tone on tone in this case elegant eggplant. The old olive belly band holds it all together w/ the ornament punched out from the stamp set definitely decorative(In the xmas mini RIGHT now)! For the belly band I just took 1"X8 1/2" strip and fold it around and taped on the back side, you will have to snip a bit of your extra off... and then this slides on and off for easy opening! Enjoy!

On a pedestal...

Goodmorning! So this card was all precut as a left over from camp and i switched up the stamp to make it a smidge different... using my ALL TIME favorite b-day stamp set to date i think!!! tip: rip those edges and distress w/ your finger nails to give it a bit of classy grunge feel!

supplies:
paper: crushed curry, whisper white, rich razzleberry, razzleberry lemonaide dsp, soft suede

Hannah's b-day

Wow, i don't know that i've ever been THIS MIA!!! Sorry about that.... had a bit of an interesting week behind me... thought i lost my camara... freaked out about that... then found it buried in MY office under paper (hint: NEED to clean). Then b-days, sickness in the house and yah... that's how it goes! So today I'm just showing you the treat baggies I made for the kidos @ the girl's b-day party. I know... I have girls, and they like dinos! So since their one guest was a 5 yr old boy.... thought he would appreciate that instead of princess items!

I used the medium cello bag along with the top note die for my baggie topper! Super slick and simple. The stamp is from the retired SAB set 'Yummy'.

Below you can see Ms. Hannah & Ms. Haley's cake. I had it made by Holly and oh my it was super dooper delish! Half chocolate w/ mint oreo filling and half vanilla with raspberry filling. The girls got the biggest kick out of it! When they woke up from their naps and seen it their eyes got real big and Haley looks @ me and says, "Wow! Mommy! Did YOU make that?" ;) I was honest and gave all credit to Holly!

Hannah turn's 4!

Ok so i suppose my 4 yr. old could care less how much time i put into her card, but i did have a lot of fun w/ it! ;) My cousin gave me the challenge of using this stamp set to make a b-day card and this is what i came up w/! After all those layers i think it's gonna have to go in her scrap book and maybe some day she'll get a kick out of it! :))

supplies:
paper: soft suede, melon mambo, very vanilla, razzleberry lemonaide dsp
ink: soft suede, melon mambo
stamps: perfect princess, on your birthday
tools:big shot, scallop circle #2 die, texture plates, circle scissor plus

You can earn this set (or any in the xmas mini) for only $10 when you host a party in your home w/ qualifying sales! Then SU! has the perfect punch to punch out these cute little ornaments and therefore you do NO cutting! That's the way to go! Below you can see it a bit better but i used my 2 way glue pen to line the swirls and dumped on the dazzling diamonds for some sparkle!

supplies:
paper: ruby red, whisper white, kraft
ink: ruby red
stamps: delightful decorations, bold snowflakes jumbo wheel
tools: scallop edge punch, ornament punch

Sour Cream pouch

Start w/ a square sheet, doesn't matter what size. Put sticky strip along one whole side and a bit on the bottom like you see pictured aboveAttach the 2 edges together keeping it roundPinch the one end w/ the sticky strip on it and use the crimper to seal that end goodThen pinch and crease the other end the opposite way of the bottom, but don't put any adheasive on that end and just crimp it
On the end w/0 adheasive i punched 2 holes and tied my very vanilla ribbon in a knot through the holes. Then w/ a bit of linen thread attached my birthday tag!

I put two mini snicker bars in here and left on the desk for a friend @ her work. Just a smidge of chocolate w/ some cute wrapping to brighten her day!

supplies: paper: choc chip dsp, very vanilla, choc chip
ink: pink passion, choc chip

My girl's b-day invite

So I got busy and actually made my first invites for my girl's birthday party! Can you believe it? I've been a demo for almost 4 yrs and never remembered to do it! ;)) To make the pocket for my invite is real simple. Cut a 8 1/2 X 11" sheet of paper in half the long way so your paper will then be 4 1/4 X 11". Then score 3 1/2" from each long end and fold over. Then cut a corner off depending on how big of a 'V' you want on the front for your insert to show through. and i just tacked the bottom w/ sticky strip so it won't go anywhere!

supplies:
paper: choc chip, whisper white, melon mambo, pumpkin pie, (pink and orange polka dot paper was a scrap that's been in my pile for ages!)
ink: pumpkin pie, melon mambo
stamps: perfect princess, really retro sayings(you're invited)
tools: scallop square punch, eyelet border punch,
