Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder

Easter Joy

March 31, 2013 · 2 Comments

Simple. Serene. That is my post for today. One last Easter share.

I made this cards for Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week. The photograph after several attempts turned out not so good. I’m thinking it’s because the card is predominately Barely Banana, which is sort of a washed out color. Perfect Easter color though. The size is a note card, 3 1/2 x 5 size as well. So, smaller than our average card. It just seemed to help balance my focal point of the cross from Crosses of Hope.

Still not feeling up to par, but I’m trudging along with my card making and posting. It has been my goal to keep up with blogging.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful day, however you celebrate it.

Happy Easter

Ok, Ok, I know I haven’t been posting on a regular basis – makes me sad too.

Let’s just say, computer issues…..

So, would a kiss make it better? A mini kiss, so to speak?

Take a look –

At my last class, I had a request to show how to make a reusable slider Treat Cup card. I used the Heart Treat Cup, of course, and some new ribbon from the Occasions Mini Catalog. Here is a close up showing the chocolate chip ‘kisses’ in the heart –

Everyone was thrilled with this card. And, it was not so difficult to make, was it?

Supplies. Petite Pairs Stamp Set. Early Espresso Ink. Blushing Bride and Whisper White card stock. Twitterpated DSP. Full Heart Punch . 1″ Square Punch. Scalloped Edge Border Punch. Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Blushing Bride 3/8″ Pleated Satin Ribbon. Heart Treat Cups.

So, need to send ‘A little Kiss’ to someone???

For Aunt Mary-

January 4, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Today I have a card I sent out to my inspirational dear Aunt Mary –

I just love this card. (Well, what card of mine do I not love??) No, but really. Some cards need to invoke a ‘feeling’. And this one does it.

I had created it for a class, but never got around to using it. So, perfect!

These are really the types of cards we should have several made and ready to send. She is on her 3rd radiation treatment and I believe 8th different chemo therapy drug. She is a true fighter.

Now inspired to make a card like this yourself? Here are the details –

Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set. Best Friends Forever Stamp Set. Baja Breeze Ink. Very Vanilla Card Stock. Extra Large Oval Punch. Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Designer Frames Embossing Folder. Sizzix Window & Frame Making Set (awesome). Baja Breeze Seam 1/2 Binding.

I remember –

Her warm, beautiful smile.

Her gorgeous eyes.

Her perfectly fixed blonde hair.

The Ice House.

Marie.

Beach houses.

Parties. Food for an army.

Santa Claus, at Christmas.

Memories.

My thoughts and prayers go to my 2 cousins, her sons, and their families at this time. I share in their grief.

3×3 Thursdays

The three little charmers for today feature different embossing folders. I just noticed that. And, I randomly picked them from my convention 3×3 bucket! Take a look –

Becky Kittaka’s very nice little ‘gift’. I really liked this one. I especially liked the soft colors.

Debra Brown’s ‘Homegrown”. Artichokes, who knew how great they would look stamped in a card!

And, Kerrie Snyder’s ‘friend’. Wow, metal? Clever.

All very nice examples! So, what are you creating?

Happy Wedding Showers

August 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Today, we are having a shower for 2 of co-workers who are getting married this fall. Since the weddings are close, we decided to get together and throw a party.

I made a card for each of them based on their individual wedding themes. Both are very creative and crafty. I was surprised at how many handmade items they were making for their weddings. Invitations, bouquets, save the dates……..all very nice, very cool ideas.

This is what I made for Gladys –

It was a take on a convention swap that I made. And, these were here colors. So, I could not resist. This is beautifully simple. Very Elegant.

This is what I made for Melissa –

This is a take on a flower I designed for her bouquets. She has made what, about 1000 of these flowers?

I wish them both much happiness with their upcoming marriages!

Happy Stampin’
