Why did I wait so long?

This Elegant Bouquet embossing folder was on my first order from the new catalog.  I just used it for the first time.  I made 3 different cards with it, but this one is my favorite!  I just love Kraft card stock, and this was the 3rd one I made.  I wanted the embossing to stand [...]

Color change re-do

This is one of the cards we made for my annual Mystery Hostess Night last week.  I wanted to do the card on this post with the butterfly, but decided to change the colors.  So off to the new catalog I went in search of a great color combo.  I picked the card on page [...]

Here’s another…

…using the same basic layout as the card with the butterfly in this post.  I stamped the Medallion stamp in Blush Blossom onto Whisper White card stock, added the sentiment and ran it through the polka dots texturz plate.  I had this butterfly laying on my desk (more “junk”, Megan - wink! ) and decided to throw that on with [...]

The little birds got to me…

…so I had to buy this adorable paper from lily bee.  I’d never heard of this paper before, but my LSS was having a sale, blah, blah, blah.  You know how it goes.  Then I had to make something with it!  The sentiment is from the One of a Kind stamp set, but I masked the parenthesis [...]

A catalog CASE + more

The cover of the new catalog forced me inspired me buy 3 things in my first order.  Namely, the Medallion background stamp, the Lots of Tags sizzlit, and the Framed with Love stamp set.  Then I could re-create the card on the cover.  Here’s my version – just a tad different.  I like how the frame stamp [...]

NOW I love the Razzleberry Lemonade paper!

As a demonstrator, we have the chance to pre-order some items that will be offered to customers ahead of time to prepare for workshops, classes, etc.  The Razzleberry Lemonade DSP (Designer Series Paper) was one of those items.  But I wasn’t sure I liked it so didn’t pre-order it, and instead ordered it on July [...]

That little leafy thing is hard to cut out…but I love it

I do love to cut out images, that’s for sure.  However, this may be pushing it a bit.  But I saw it in a SU! publication somewhere and loved it so much.  On this card I used one of my favorite packs of papers from the last catalog – Bella Birds.  I just love the soft colors [...]

The orange twill is too stiff/thick to be able to tie [...]

You Rock!

I used several pieces of this adorable, now retired, paper to make 7 different cards (one card was being shy and didn’t make it into this photo).  This layout really lends itself well to using up scraps.  I had to make several “thank you’s” for some men who helped my husband out recently on a project so [...]
