Polka Dot Birthday

Just a quick and easy birthday card. I used the set Big Bold Birthday (Stampin' Up). The pattern paper and ribbon are both from Hobby Lobby. I used a little glitter glue for the flame on the candles.

Baby Gift

I went to a baby shower last weekend and I made the "mommy to be" some packages of baby cards and a baby album. I put them in a diaper bag that was brown with pink ribbon trim. The cards all had a brown, pink and green theme. Here are two of the card ideas that I included in the bag. The teddy bear card was made with the set Bundle of Joy (Stampin' Up). The dog card was made using a sizzix die and pattern paper. Both cards have a texured background using swiss dots embossing folder(Cuddlebug), and both cards have a border made with jumbo scallop scissors (Provo Craft).

Wedding Shower Invites

Here are a few pictures of a wedding shower invitation that I am working on. I made a pink pocket card by stitching the sides of the cardstock together. A darker pink flower with clear diamond gem centers and a lace flower sticker border decorate the front. There is a light caramel diamond background under the flowers. The pull-out tag has the information for the invite on it.

You Crack Me Up!

Here is another choice for my Saturday workshop. This set, A Good Egg (Stampin' Up) is so cute and has so many possibilities. For this card I used Bashful blue (cut at 4 x 11 1/4 to fold up like a matchbook, already scored for you!). The pattern paper is from the Bashful Blue designer series from Stampin' Up. The blue and green designer paper is from the Stampin Up designer series Cutie Pie (retired).

Star Card

Here's another sample of a card choice for my Saturday Stamp-A-Stack. This card uses the set In the Stars (retired Stampin' Up). The sentiment on this one is Happy Birthday, but the design can easily be used as a graduation or congratulations card as well. This card also uses the two star punches from Stampin' Up.

Saturday Stamp-a-stack

It's time for another Stamp-A-Stack class. I already have 15 different designs ready for Saturday, February 28 and hope to do a few more. I just got a new order in and will have some of the Sale-a-bration sets and some new sets from the catalog. I will post some designs over the next few days so you can see what we will be making. Interested in joining us? Drop me an email for more information. The card posted tonight is one I made and sent for a "swap". I haven't gotten cards back yet, but I can't wait to see them, I heard they were great! For this card, I used the Top Note die cut, the Bella Rose designer paper, riding hood red and kiwi kiss cardstock, riding hood red striped ribbon and the new stamp set from the catalog is called Thoughts and Prayers. The finishing touch is the sentiment. I really like the sentiments from this set, but I decided to use the Thank you stamp from Pocket Silhouettes. Here is the complete recipe for this card. Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers, Pocket Silhouettes Ink: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black Marker: Ruby Red Paper: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, White, DSP Bella Rose Accessories: Top Note die, Small oval punch, Large oval punch, Crop-A-Dile, Pewter Jumbo eyelets, Riding Hood Red striped grosgrain ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Wow! Where Have I Been?

I don't know how the time has gotten away from me. But where have I been? In Ludington with my scrapbooking and stamping friends! My friend Connie invited me to a resort for a weekend of crafting fun! This place was gorgeous! The name of the resort was Eagles Wings Lodge and Retreat Center. When I got home, everyone asked me if I got alot done. Answer, no... but I had a great time (mostly talking, laughing and eating)!Would I do it again? In a heart beat!
