Convention Challenge

At Convention Barbara Welch, Linda Rodenberg and I were asked to create a card using the stamp set Under The Stars. We had to use the supplies available and we had a limited time…we even had to put the stamp set together in that amount of time… This is what I made. It is a little pocket card. For the record, I would have colored in the Bear, but there were no Aqua Painters or Blender Pens out there, only Markers, and not the right colors. LOL. I would have made it a little different at home. But, I did get to keep the stamp set!

Recipe: STAMPS: Under the Stars, Family Phrases

PAPER: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Taken With Teal, Creamy Caramel, Storybook Specialty DSP

INK: Soft Suede, Basic Black

Embellishments: Kraft Taffeta Ribbon, Silver Brads, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Enjoy!

DVD Photo Album

When I went to Convention, I got to take my kids along too. They had a little vacation with Aunt Laura, Uncle Ken and Cousin Chelsey.  It was a blast for them! They are so fun to be around. I am so thankful that they spent the week with the kids. 

Friday was Aunt Laura’s birthday so this is what the kids and I put together for her. I was inspired by this one here. There is also a great tutorial on splitcoast for it too!

I had the kids write down why they loved her and then I added some pictures to it. I like how it came out!

For this project, I used:

PAPER: Bella Birds DSP, Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip CS.

EMBELLISHMENTS: So Saffron Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Latte Buttons

Tools: Eyelet edge Punch

Clear Plastic Pages are SU Clear Envelopes

This is the outside of the tin.

Upsy Daisy Mojo#73

Sorry that the color is a little dark on this one. I am no photo pro.  This card is another Mojo sketch. It is number 73.  I made this card for a Mother’s Day card for my stamp club. I love that it was simple but pretty. I layered Pacific Point Blue and Basic Black.  I stamped the Upsy Daisy stamp in Basic Black craft ink onto whisper White CS. I used Heat and Stick Powder and Dazzling Diamonds to make the flowers extra blingy. Then I punched a slit in the white and black layers with the slit punch, and used some pretty silver ribbon and a black button with a rhinestone glued to it to make it pretty. The inside is stamped with a Happy Mother’s Day stamp.  

Mojo Monday #81 Cupcakes

For this card I used MojoMonday sketch #81. The card base is Regal Rose, I used Sweet Always DSP for the two layers. I used the cupcake from Wagon Full of Fun stamped in Jet Black Stazon colored in with a blender pen and Pink Pirouette, Pumpkin Pie, and Yoyo Yellow inks, the flower is from Always stamped in Regal Rose with a rhinestone in the middle, and the happy birthday is from the set Pretty Princess stamped in Jet Black Stazon with the flower colored Regal Rose with a blender pen, those layers are backed in Pink Pirouette, Pumpkin Pie, and Chocolate Chip CS. I used Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon for the bow, then last of all I added the three little circles at the bottom that are just paper punched out with a hole punch.

Enjoy!

Easy Guy Card

Hello!

I am going through all the files on my computer and there are SO MANY cards that have not been posted! I have to catch up!

This first card is a simple birthday card that I made for my nephew. I never know what to make for a boy…Anyways.

I used Basic Black CS cut 4 1/4 x4 1/4 square. Then I used  Patterns Pack DSP  in Basic Gray. I cut them all 2×2 and just lined them up. Then I Stamped the image from Party Hearty in Basic Black on Whisper White CS also cut 2×2 and mounted it on a piece of basic black cut 2 1/4 x 2 1/4. I then stamped the little present in Real Red and cut it out and popped it up with a dimensional. …see easy card. 

Be back with more soon!

I don’t know why the picture makes the bow look crooked, it really isn’t. Sorry!

It was a Happy Birthday

Last Monday was my Birthday! It was a GREAT Day! Filled with lots of phone calls from friends and Family followed by a wonderful dinner that I did not have to cook with my parents, husband and children. Who can ask for more??  I received these cute cards! The first one is from my 6 year old daughter Lily. She loves to craft! And I would have to say that for a 6 year old she is pretty good!

The inside is my favorite part!

The next card is from my Mom.
