Ok, one more but with different paper

Weird…I go one week without posting to posting twice in one day!  I guess I’m trying to make up for lost time!  This is the exact same card as earlier today but I used Basic Grey’s Sugared paper and Old Olive for the greenery and sentiment.  Other than that, it’s the same ingredients.  I love how [...]

Another baby card

Well, even though this is the 3rd baby card I’ve shown in 2 weeks, I’m actually behind - I have so many friends having them these days!  I made this one using the Big Shot & Sweet Always paper.  It’s just so…sweet!  I think I’ll whip up a bunch of these in boy and girl colors [...]

August Stamp Club projects

We had a great night at Stamp Club after a long summer break!  It was so much fun to get together again!  We made 3 projects.  One is not shown here, but it was basically a very simple New In-Color guide where we stamped a small stamp in each of the In Colors, as well as a [...]

Just a simple little card

Here is a very simple card used with the new Eastern Blooms stamp set, which is on sale right now!  See the flier on my sidebar for more details.  I used markers to color the flowers and branch.  It may be hard to see, but there is a smaller flower stamped in VersaMark ink as [...]

Someone won’t be at Stamp Club!

And that’s ok!  One of our Stamp Club girls had her first baby and here’s the card I made really quickly last night to send out.  I used my new Big Shot for the scallop, bird & branches.  I *think* these were some of the colors she used in the birth announcements so I went with [...]

A little something…

I got my Big Shot yesterday, along with new papers, stamps, and other goodies!  I just had to use it to make this baby card.  I used the smaller scallop from the Scallop Circle #2 die and covered it with the new Sweet Always paper.  Tip: using a glue stick, adhere the paper onto the [...]

Eastern Blooms C.A.S.E.

I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) this card, keeping the same layout and using the Eastern Blooms set.  I love the look of this simple layout.  I changed the colors and sentiment.  I used a 1 3/8″ square punch for the squares and the 1/2″ circle punch to create the flower centers and popped them up [...]

Look-a-likes

Here are 2 cards using the same basic layout as one of the Make ‘n Takes at Convention, shown 2 posts down.  Since I don’t have the wide oval punch, I used my large one along with sentiments from Wow Flowers inside.  The inking of the flowers stamp is different than usual.  Just like the one we [...]

A couple of quick cards

Here’s a quick card I made using the new Flight of the Butterfly Stamp set, as well as Inspired by Nature.  I LOVE both of these sets!  I stamped the butterfly first in More Mustard, then used the rock ‘n roll technique to touch the edges in Pumpkin Pie ink.  This card measures 4 1/4″ x [...]

More Convention Make & Takes…and my altered card holder

Here are 2 more projects we made at convention last week. 
Stamps: Inspired by Nature, Eastern Blooms, Fundamental Phrases

Here is a card holder that I altered.  I got it at the doctor’s office I work for from a pharmaceutical rep.  It has the advertising for the product he represents on the cube, which I covered in [...]

Some Convention Make ‘n Takes

Here are a few of the Make ‘n Takes that we made at convention.  All the projects were so awesome!  I’m showing 3 today, but check  back tomorrow for more…including my altered card holder!  You can click on each picture to show it larger.  I did goof on the first project; the white bag shouldn’t be showing if I had done it right!  But it’s [...]

My convention swap reject

Here’s the first card I made for my convention swaps, but since I didn’t get a high approval rate from great friend Jean, I decided to re-work it.  And I really like the one I ended up doing much better, so I’m very glad!  But I thought I should show it anyway.  As always, you [...]
