Hi guys! Well we are home again after a nice time away in WI! Always seems busy but fun! This card is a quick put together for me using the Big shot and an impressions folder.
Hello all, well tom is the big Turkey day and we hope to leave for WI in a few hrs. So i will be MIA for a few days. I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgiving's spent w/ your families!
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~
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 ...
Left over precut cardstock from my camp and i just changed the stamp and made a b-day card... Using of course my FAV stamp set EVA!;)
This was another card we made at the fall camp. Sadly for me it seems i've needed a lot of sympathy cards lately so i wanted to incorporate that into the camp so others would have one on hand as well. Stamping the wheat onto the card, makes a nice matching set to give.
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!
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!
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!
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! :))
Using the stamp set Delightful Decorations out of the xmas mini, makes this xmas card a cinch! 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!
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 above
Attach the 2 edges together keeping it round
Pinch the one end w/ the sticky strip on it and use the crimper to seal that end good
Then 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!
