Diorama Birthday Card

Check out this fun Birthday card. Thanks to the samples and training that Stampin' Up! provides for their demonstators, I learned how to make this fun card that brings a little more life to a birthday card. It folds down to mail and can sit on your desk or shelf to enjoy! What fun!
Please contact me if you are interested in joining my team and making fun projects just like this one!

Picnic in the Park

I apologize for such a bad photo! I created this card for a small swap group on the east coast! The scallop circle #2 sizzix die fits the tree perfectly behind the new tree set! This card makes me want to have a picnic in the park! Simple card but utilizes a lot of great tools like the sizzix machine and the cutting tool for the grass!

From Owl of Us...

Just love this versatile "Owl Together Now" set. Owls seem to be popular where ever you turn! In fact Lindsey has a cute little owl shirt I will post! I used whisper white card stock. I cut a piece circle out of scrap computer paper and placed it down on my card stock then brayered over it using the new pacific point ink. I sponged mustard and so saffron in the circle to make it look more like a moon! Fun technique that is great for Halloween projects and Christmas! I will be showing this technique again soon!

Fun, Quick Birthday greeting...

This card is really easy... just take a piece of 41/4 by 11" card stock (pink pirouette shown) and fold in half. Then place the folded edge near the top (not all the way covering) of the Top Note BigZ Die and run it through your Big Shot. This results in a fabulous card which I added to a Riding Hood Red 41/4 by 51/2 card base. Very simple with great results!

Christmas this Saturday...

Just a quick note to invite you to my "Christmas Stamp-a-Stack" class this Saturday at 6 pm! We will make 10 cards (2 each of 5 different designs). This class will take place the second Saturday of every month until Christmas! Lets get them done and ready for the holidays... they will be here before you know it! Please RSVP to save your spot!

Fabulous flowers class

Here are a couple of projects we did at the "Fabulous Flowers" class this week... Ribbon flowers was a technique Stampin' Up! showed at Convention.... and even though I was not able to attend convention this year, I just read about how to do this fun technique! It worked perfect with the new 1 1/4 inch, pink pirouette grosgrain ribbon! The inside part of the flower is done using my wonderful big shot again and the "daisy die", plus the final touch of the new designer buttons! The words are a hostess set and they fit perfectly in the new wide oval punch!
This box is totally easy and cute for any occation! We used the scallop circle punch to create this delicate little flower!
The final "Enjoy" card was made using the five pedal flower punch. Beautiful card with lots of dimension! Of course.... new ribbon, new designer brads, new designer paper, new punch! I love the new catalog and products... can you tell?

Swap Cards in the mail...

Oh! I'm finally done and got all those cards in the mail. I sure loved this card when I started to make it, but after 100 of them, I was ready for something else. This card uses the new stamp set: Inspired by Nature - just love this versitile set! I also used some of the new color paper, Pink Pirouette, pared with Chocolate chip, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, white, and Sweet Always designer paper! I just used my markers to color the flowers before stamping them. Fun beautiful project. I also did a scrapbook page with this same design. I will show that next!

A pile of "Happy"


Here is just a sneek peek of what I've been working on for a swap. I am almost done with 100 cards that have to be in the mail on Monday. My card uses one of my favorite stamp sets and has this cute little "happy" embellishment too. I will share my swap here later this week.

One of my creative passions - is rubber stamping and paper crafting. I started stamping about 12 years ago (wow - has it been that long). My wonderful Aunt Marilyn got me into making cards and is a very crafty lady! I started scrapbooking about the time we had our first born (so about 8 years ago). About 5 years ago I found , "Stampin' Up!". I signed up as a demonstrator right away and have been loving all the products they offer and the inspirational projects they make. I have met so many wonderful friends through my business and have come to love the flexibility of staying home my my kids and being able to have this wonderful business that pays for my addiction!!! Here is a recent card I did using the new in-colors and my new "big shot" die cutting machine. So easy and so fun!
Enjoy!
