Purse pocket for cards

 this was my big secret that i created for the club gals as well! i sewed chip boards in there so it will protect the cards inside if they choose to put it in their purse! That was my intention. sometimes it's just nice to have a card at your finger tips and this is a perfect way to carry them! Each gal, got a glitter letter in their first initial on the front! I sewed these using the super pretty fabric, deck the halls.

thank you

i made these thank you notes as a token of appreciation for my club gals. I used a piece of chipboard and the large scallop bigz die. covered the chipboard w/ the fabric and then stamped and embellished. how cute is the little butterfly. i forget i have that (is it a sizzlit?) ;)

supplies:
paper: crumb cake, rich razzleberry
ink: rich razz, old olive
stamps: sillhouette sentiments
tools: big shot, circle scallop bigz die, circle scissor plus, butterfly sizzlit
accessories: rich razz ribbon, mini glue dot

BBQ neighborhood invite

what a dashing little grill we have here eh? well i can't say the bbq stamps are su! saddly, but they are something i bought a LONG long time ago and dusted off to make these! perfect for the situation;) the salutation "you're invited" is su! from the cute set really retro(now retired). first i stamped my grill in basic black. took my aqua painters and some cherry cobbler on the tips to color them in. after they dried nicely i filled in the grills w/ crystal effects. so cute, you can't help but touch if you were the recipient....
the cute red checkered dsp is from the pkg Love letters DSP and of course some black ribbons.
