With All My Heart

Sorry this is kind of late again. I haven't not had a very good morning. I didn't wake up and get to work until like 10 AM. I was up late last night working on some angel swap cards. I got word yesterday morning that at least 2 swaps were missing from a swap I'm participating in and I like to try to help people out and make sure their swaps are full. So off to work I went. Here is one of the cards that I designed and made 12 of in an hour and a half. Again, I had every intent of casing something, but again this does not look like what I had in mind or the card I was casing. Is this a sign of my ADD coming out? Anyways, I used With All My Heart stamp set from the occassions mini. The colors are Taken with Teal, So Saffron, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, and Pumpkin Pie. I also used the Sweet Pea DSP, SAB edge punch, Boho Blossoms punch, Pumpkin Circle Rhinestone, and Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon.

I am going to try something new with my blog and include everything (I hope) you need to know to recreate the cards that I share with you. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The dimensions are as follows (in inches):

DSP:  3.75 x 4

Whisper White: Background is 4 x 5.25; Stamped image piece: 2.25 x 2.25

Pumpkin Pie: 2.5 x 2.5

So Saffron: 2.75 x 3.5; Scrap for punched flower

Chocolate Chip: 5.5 x 11, folded in half

Directions:

1. Cut the the cardstock as indicated above.

2. Using the edge punch, punch the bottom edge of the DSP. Do the same with the So Saffron.

3. Adhere the DSP to the Whisper White.

4. Using the DSP as a guide, stamp the "Friend" image on the Whisper White cardstock in Taken with Teal ink.

5. Stamp the flower image on the smaller piece of Whisper White in Pumpkin Pie ink.

6. Using the scrap of punch the meduim sized flower in the Boho Blossoms punch.

7. Adhere flower to the center of the stamped image and insert the brad through the center.

8. Mat the stamped image with the Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then the So Saffron cardstock.

9. Cut a peice of the taffeta ribbon long enough to wrap arount the So Saffron cardstock and tie a bow or knot, as desired. Attach to cardstock.

10. Attached the stamped image and layers to the Whisper White background.

11. Attached the Whisper White to the folded Chocolate cardstock.

12. ENJOY!

SAB is in the Air!

I am offering a new club for the three months of SAB (Jan, Feb, and March). It is going to be a Cyber Hostess Club. Each of the three months each member commits to purchase $50 and will earn a SAB set. In addition, each person will also earn the Hostess benefits one of the months (order will be determined by the order of sign-up), that is in addition to the SAB benefits. I will pay for shipping to me and each member is responsible for shipping to them (free local delivery available). If an order is placed for over $80, I will ship for free. Card kits will also be provided each month. I will (try to) design a card to go with the products you order and provide detailed instructions for you to recreate it on your own. The hostess for each month will also receive the completed cards that I designed that month. Please contact me to sign up or if you have any questions. Hurry, space is limited!

Let It Snow!

Today's post I'm taking a break from SAB and the Occassions Mini (for the most part). Sometimes I forget that I have other stamps and supplies to play with too :o) Anyways, I'm part of a group where every month we sent 1 card to someone based on the monthly theme. January's theme is snow. This is the card that I made. I used the Big Shot and Snowflake die and cut two snowflakes out of pop cans. The other colors are Green Galore, Tempting Turquoise, and Whisper White. I also used Kaleidoscope DSP. I did use one stamp from the new Occassions Mini, Dot, Dot, Dot, and Teeny Tiny Wishes from the big catalog.

Stay tuned for an announcement about a new club I'm offering!

More Vintage Vogue

Here is another sample using Vintage Vogue that I made for a swap. Pretty basic, used Taken with Teal and Very Vanilla. The DSP is from SAB.

Thanks for looking!

New Heart Punch Sample

Sorry again for being so late at posting today's post. Here is a card that I made using the new heart punch from the Occassions Mini and the Good Neighbors DSP from SAB. The colors are Taken with Teal, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Crushed Curry, and Whisper White. I also used the stamp set Well Scripted, the new border punch, and satin ribbon from the Occassions Mini.

Thanks for your patience.

Well Scripted Sample

Sorry I'm late getting this post on. I'm really trying to keep my blog up to date and today is the first day that I've slacked. And I don't have a card to share with you that I'm real proud of. It's a case, but I don't really like the changes I made. I'm still showing it because I like how the border punch was used (or really not used) to make the break and allow room for the ribbon to be wrapped around. I used Well Scripted, Abduntant Hope, and Tiny Tags. I also used the Sweet Pea DSP and the colors were Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, and Chocolate Chip.

Thanks for looking!

10 Minute Challenge Card

Two of my fellow LNS members have a 10 minute challenge every week where they encourage people to make a card in 10 minutes or less. This may seem to be an easy thing to do, but trust me, it's not. And this is actually the first time I actually had a card for this challenge, so I'm very excited. There is very little stamping, which is probably why it didn't take very long to make :o) I used the Send Love DSP and punches to create this. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Colors are Very Vanilla, Real Red, and Pretty in Pink.

Thanks for looking!
