Practically free

This bag, that is!  I was asked to make and teach a class for our annual craft night at church that would be free for those coming.  I immediately thought of using the Fancy Favor die to make a quick little gift bag.  I made my sample from retired SU! Christmas paper, used brads to put [...]

My Christmas Card Swap

For the first time I finished my swaps (for a local swap) over a week before we meet – yea!!  I decided to use retired paper and ribbon for my project.  I have so much of it and it does me no good to just hoard it.  So that’s why you see several different Kiwi Kiss patterned [...]

Not too crazy about the card…

…but I LOVE my new blog banner!  I took a bunch of photos this week of my many Japanese Maple trees.  This one just happened to be perfect to fit on my banner.  Good thing I took the pics when I did, because after the winds we had yesterday, there are virtually no leaves left!
I just [...]

Just a little gift

I had to make several gifts for special people, so I made this set of 4 3″x3″ notecards in a little gift box.  (Click photo for a larger view.)  I used the adorable and sweet, Great Friend stamp set, and made a box using the Scallop Envelope die.  The directions can be found on Kristin’s blog [...]

Another Sweet Treat Cup card

 
I got the idea to make the Sweet Treat cup into a sunflower from my upline, but I made my petals with the Pick a Petal stamp set, since I don’t have the Sweet Centers stamp set.  It was not the easiest card to make, but I really like it.  Like the last card, I embossed [...]

Stamp Club projects for October

It was all about Fall this month for stamp club.  First we made this card, which I pretty much CASEd from this one.  I like my scallops to be on the top of the card, too – so after making the card with the fold at the top, I covered it with a full scallop [...]

Another Christmas card

Here I made another Christmas card using the Scallop Square Bigz die & Shimmer Paint again.  I also used the new Hostess Level 1 stamp set, Patterned Pines (from the Holiday Mini catalog).  This time I mixed some Old Olive ink with the new Platinum Shimmer Paint, and like the last card, sponged it onto [...]

A new love

I recently purchased the Scallop Square Bigz die and I love it!  I read from fellow SU! demonstrator, Gretchen, how you can make scalloped rectangles with this die, and that’s all I’ve been doing so far with it.  Since she has a tutorial, just go check it out and you’ll see how, but really all [...]

A catalog CASE

I loved the card on page 168 in the catalog so much that I bought the Pendant Notes & Pendant Park stamp set to be able to re-create it.  I changed mine up a bit by making it into a birthday card for my sis, and used a button in the middle instead.  What a simple card [...]

This might be the one

I can’t believe it’s almost time for card club, a local group of ladies who swap out cards for fun.  I made this little thing as a contestant for the swap.  We’ll see how it goes.  I’ll let ya know.  Just a simple card with a fall color combo.  My favorite colors, as you can [...]
