Spring is in the air

I have seen so many cute flower pot cards on people's blogs so I had to jump on the band wagon and make my own. They are so cute and really easy if you use the Big Shot.

No stamp set required.

CS: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: Big Shot, Daisies #2 Die, Large and small Oval Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Walk in the Park DSP, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.

CS: Close to Cocoa, Regal Rose, Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot, Build a Flower Die, Scallop Edge Punch, 5-Petal flower Punch, 5/8" Regal Rose Ribbon, Candy Cane Lane DSP

I made this for a workshop I had for Shelly's workshop. This bag type thing uses the Big Shot along with the Top Note and Beautiful Butterflies Dies along with the Wide Oval Punch. I used Bella Rose DSP Pink Pirouette CS and Pink Pirouette 5/8" striped ribbon. I really like how it turned out and they all thought it was great.

We also made this super simple card at Shelly's workshop.

Stamp Set: Cheap Talk
Ink: Old Olive, Summer Sun, Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip
CS: Pacific Point, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Good Morning Sunshine DSP, sponge

We had a great time at the workshop and I got three bookings from it. I can't wait for there workshops. Thanks, Maria/April, Sandy and Mallory for booking the workshops!

Some new projects

I haven't posted in a little while so I have several samples to share with you today. This first card I made for a swap we had at our last group meeting.

Stamp Set: Yummy (SAB)
CS: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
Ink: Whisper White Craft
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Notes Die, Texturz plate, Simple Flower Embosslits die, Flower Fusion Too, Silver brad, Urban Garden DSP

I was looking around at different blogs and came upon a card that I thought would be perfect with my new favorite stamp set Fifth Avenue Floral. (I'm so sorry, but I can't find the blog again to give credit to). It was so easy I will definitely be making more of these.
Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral, All Holidays

CS: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

I just bought the new stamp set Good Friend. When I first saw it in the new catalog I though yuck. I did not like the bird at all, but the more cards I saw with it the more I liked it so of course I had to buy it. I found this card here and knew I had to make one of my own.

Stamp Set: Good Friends

CS: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, So Saffron

Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron

Accessories: Good Morning Sunshine DSP, Scallop Edge Punch

These last 2 projects are one's we made at our last group meeting. This one was created by Carrie Rhoades. I just love her and her projects. I thought this was so cleaver since it uses 2 Scallop Envelope dies stuck together with Tombow multi purpose adhesive. It is perfect for a small candy!

Stamp Set: A little Somethin' (Hostess stamp set)

CS: Basic Gray

Ink: Baja Breeze

Accessories: Urban Garden DSP, Rhinestone brad, Bojo Punch, Small Oval punch, Scallop Square punch, 1 1/4" Square punch, dimensionals, Old Olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Tombow multi purpose adhesive. I just love this projects and I will definitely be making more!

This last card was created by our Very talented Beth Suhr. She always does such great cards.

That's all for now, I hope that you enjoy!!! Don't forget it's not to late to order and qualify for Sale-a-bration.

Valentine's ipod

I saw this in Family Fun magazine and knew I had to make it for my 4 kids for Valentine's Day. I asked each of them what there favorite color was so they all got a custom made ipod made out of sweethearts candy and peanut butter cups. Most of them thought they were cool and didn't want to eat them. Sydney thought they were stupid because it wasn't a real ipod. She got over it though when she realized nobodies was a real ipod.

I thought they were really cute and really easy to make especially since Family Fun had the round part and the music screen part already done for you. ROCK ON!!!

Halloween projects

The swap I'm in had some great cards. These are 2 that I just had to share. The first one is by Marissa Hewitt. The card can lay flat to mail, but then it will stand up by itself. I just love the work she did to it. She used Halloween Frights stamp set and Frightful Fence jumbo Wheel.

This bag was made by Chairl Ivie Miller. I love how fun it is and it would be a great way to give some fun Halloween treats to some special people! The stamp set she used was Halloween Frights and Eat, Drink & Be Scary from the holiday mini catalog.

Thank you ladies for some great ideas!

DVD holder Scrapbook class

I saw this DVD holder scrapbook and fell in love with it. I used different designer series paper (DSP) then the original and I just love how these colors look together.
The front of the scrapbook. The ribbon slides right off or unties to open the book.

1st and 2nd pages.

The 3rd and 4th pages.

The 5th and 6th pages. The little envelopes have a paper that comes out for either journaling or pictures, or even a great place to put gift cards or cash.

Back cover and the front cover without the ribbon.

Click here to see my inspiration.

I will be having a class on this DVD scrapbook October 14 from 6:30-9:00. The cost will be $15.00 and it will include 1/2 package of any DSP you want to use for your scrapbook along with all the other supplies needed. You will need to bring your own paper cutter or some sort. If you would like to make multiple scrapbooks you can do so. The second one will be $7.00, but only if you use the same DSP you chose for the first one. If you want different DSP the cost will still be $15.00. This makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries or even for Christmas that is right around the corner. Registration deadline is Sept. 30.

This class is also offered as a mail class. If you can't attend but would like to make one I can mail you the cut out supplies to do so. Email me and I'll send you a pay now link with the amount including shipping. There is a $4.00 shipping fee. If you have any questions just send me an email.
