Ready for Spring?

Anyone ready for spring,yet? This bright card just seems to shout spring, don't you think? I used the frog from Unfrogettable (retired Stampin' Up) and the pocket and flowers from Pocket Fun (retired Stampin' Up). I found the fun pixie sticks in lime green at Target (which made me think of the frog). The background is a cuddlebug embossing folder.

Many Reasons to Smile

This was one of the fun cards I offered at my Stamp-a-stack class on Saturday. I thought the pop out butterflies were a cute surprise when you opened the card. I used a spiral punch (several spirals pieced together made the longer spirals). I cut out some small butterflies and attached them to the spirals.

Daisy die cuts

This is the new daisy die cut I got from Stampin' Up. I just put the three flowers toghether with a Stampin' Up button in center. I used a file folder card for the base. A little ribbon on the bottom finishes off the card.

Rehearsal dinner invites

Here are a few designs I came up with for a rehearsal dinner invitation. The theme was black and white polka dots or green and black polka dots. I love the martini theme since the restaurant is known for their martini bar. I think these green polka dot ones are fun! The bride and groom design was made using the Cricut cartridge "Stretch your Imagination". Just a simple design with a little glitter to glam it up! Now let's see what the bride thinks of them!

Easter Peeps!

I found this darling "peeps" stamp almost two years ago at a stamp convention (and never used it until now). The stamp is from Savvy stamps. I stamped the peeps with versamark on yellow paper and embossed them with yellow embossing glitter (also found at the stamping convention). The decorated paper came from a paper pack from Target and the pink satin ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. TFL!

Fifth Avenue

Here is a card design for an upcoming workshop I am doing next weekend. I found the ribbon at Hobby Lobby and loved the color combo. One side of the ribbon coordinates with the Baja Blue and other side matches Chocolate Chip. The set I used for this card is Fifth Avenue (Stampin' Up). The colors I used are Kiwi Kiss, Baja Blue, and Chocolate Chip (all Stampin' Up). The ribbon is very thick and doesn't not very well. So I gave up on the knot and added a cutout flower with a button center (Stampin' Up).

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Here is a card I made for my last Stamp-a-stack class. I used the set Pinch Proof (Stampin' Up). The circles were punched using the Marvy punches. The gold ribbon was from Stampin' Up. The color of cardstock and ink are Wild Wasabi (retired Stampin' Up). Orange glitter glue for the leprechaun's beard and gold glitter glue around the scallop circle are called Stickles from Ranger.

Create from a Kit
