Wedding card

How do you like this card???  I think it is beautiful and a perfect Wedding card.    It was made by one of my Stampin' ladies, Kathy Raney and she shared it with me today at class.   I knew I had to get it posted on here to share.

I just love everything about this card.....the delicate doilie of the dress and the sharp point of the tuxedo  and the colors.

Year of Cheer DSP Birthday Card

Hello Stampers!
 
As I write this post, I am getting ready to head to Hartford Connecticut in two days to attend Stampin' Up!'s Onstage conference and am pretty excited.   I will get to attend CenterStage Friday before the Onstage event.   Meet with stampers that are part of a group I will be riding with and meet new stampers I have never met.   Learn new tips, get the new catalog!!!! and have some awesome make and takes.   Next week I will post photos and some things from Onstage. 

I decided to try out the year of cheer DSP that we had in the holiday catalog. I cut a piece of the starburst paper and sponged it with some of my favorite colors.   I took a piece of black Cardstock and put a piece of the adhesive sheets behind it and ran it through the Big Shot with the Birthday thinlits die.  It was so easy to adhere the Happy Birthday to the card.   I mounted it on a Marina Mist card base.   I was going to add some rhinestones, but figured I would save those to add when I actually use the card.....If going to one of my grandsons or nephews, I won't be adding those.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creations whether I come up with the designs or I CASE completely...

Get creative today and make a card and send a card!!!

Birthday Card - great for teens

This card I made my great nieces.   I sent the first one out since her birthday was yesterday!   Whew, on time!   I CASED this card from Ann Clemmer, a fellow demo.   While we are on opposite sides of the US, we get inspiration from all over.   I think it was a twitter feed and I am rarely on twitter.    Spending too much of life with family and friends, but I do see tweets from time to time.

The DSP I used is the Picture Perfect DSP 6x6 stack in the Occasions catalog, it is probably one of my favorites ever  I have used over half the pack and plan on getting another pack to help with with all the birthday cards I send. 

I used the Epic Celebrations stamp set from Sale a bration and the Celebration You thinlits also in the Sale a bration catalog, but those thinlits will be in the upcoming new catalog in June!

I layered the DSP with black and used black  card stock for the thinlit greetings too.   I glued them on with the Fine tip glue pen.    I colored the sneakers in with Wisteria Wonder reinker and aqua painter.   The other one I did for my other great niece I colored the sneakers in Pool party and added glue and dszzling diamonds glitter on the shoes.

Hope you get a chance to get crafty today.    I have Emma duty.....She's my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter, so you know I am not getting too much accomplished in the crafting area today!!!   But I'm loving spending time with her.

Here is the one we are making in class. I used Emerald Envy card stock and ink,  Peekaboo Peach ribbon, card stock and ink and whisper white card stock and the Everyday Label Punch.

Here is the one I made on my Facebook business page, Stampin with stampergirl on Wednesday, check out the video too how I made it there.    Stampin with stampergirl

Countdown to end of Sale a bration with Pandas!!!

There are only a few more days to take advantage of Sale a bration....  Nine, yes just 9 more days!

Today I am showing some cards I made with the Panda set - which I didn't want!!!!   I just wasn't excited about that set.....that is until I started seeing so many cute projects made with it.....so I ordered it and when it arrived, it was in French!   Even though this set is one for free, I really wanted it in English and had some plans to use it for my husband for our Anniversary February 14th.   So, I put it in an envelope and sent it back and got an English version.

I used it to make this card and this treat holder for our Anniversary.   I made my husband 25 cards and treats for our 25th Anniversary.  This treat holder is really tiny....It held a mint hard candy!

This is one of the cards I made him using this Panda set

I had my Stamparatus and wanted to try it out.....So I used this set again to make a Thank You card for my nephew.    This is the card I made for my nephew who brought my computer "up to speed"   It was so slow...

Aligning up the Thank You's straight was SO simple with this tool....really another item "I didn't want or need"  or so I thought til I got one!

Here is another Panda card I made with the same color theme.... Emerald Envy and Lemon Lime Twist.   I made 25 of these and sent them out to customers and friends back in Maryland who I have not seen in a few months.   I really miss them....and my daughters and grandchildren !!!!!!

I shoulda coulda used the Stamparatus for this card, but I didn't....   I thought about it the other night when I did a Facebook live video over at Stampin with Stampergirl. - check it out...    With the 2 plates to mount stamps on and 2 sides of each plate, I could of made these is probably half the time that it took me.

Live and Learn.    The Panda set is only going to be avaible to get for FREE for 9 more days.

So head on over to my website, place an order for $50 or more and you can choose the Panda Set for FREE.   or check out all the other FREEBIES you could choose from.    When you place your order, use the Hostess Code:  4FNXM3NE to get in the drawing for Hostess Freebies that I give away each month....but you gotta use the Hostess code.

A double open card

I loved this card   If I can figure out how to do a GIF, I will and share how it opens! 

A short post today since I am on the run today.....Visit my Mom and Adela

Church to stock the children's Sunday School classrooms.

This card opens up by pulling outward the inner layer of the Berry Burst card stock.     The base was made with Berry Burst card stock and for the moving part too.  There is a layer of Lemon Lime Twist card stock and then the Picture Perfect DSP on the card.   The greeting is from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set using Lemon Lime Twist ink.   I added 2 ribbons next to the greeting to give it a little sparkle.   The ribbons is the Lemon Lime Twist striped and the Berry Burst Silver edged ribbons.   

When I figure out how to make a GIF, I will show just how cute this card is!!!!

Sorry for the short post earlier today and was glad I could add this description to this post.
