Stamp Class

Okay, as promised to a handful of you customers and friends, these are the projects that we made last week at my stamp class that I held here in my home. The tart n tangy card you've seen. The jar is a candle and we put a scallop circle on the top, wrapped stitched ribbon around it with a tag. Then a Father's Day card- I love this set of stamps, it is one of my favorite and what a wonderful masculine image. So all my customers walked out with these projects in hand and did a great job on them! Kudos girls!

Now this card is a card that I made for Taylor's challenge. You were to use a small image and stamp 3 of them on the front of the card. Of course, I used pomegranite b/c I love these apples with this color. I do like how the card turned out, matter of fact I made a couple that are similar to this. I have been trying to make a couple cards when I sit down so that I make the most of my time stamping. Otherwise I could sit down and spend an hour on 1 card- then I feel un-fruitful (ha ha- no pun intended!).

RAK Giveaway.......

Okay ladies- KraftinKimmie sent me some goodies for posting a comment on her thread this week and I promised to send some goodies along. So all you have to do is be willing to send out at least one RAK when your goodies arrive and leave a comment to this post regarding my new play list that my 12 year old son added for me this evening. I guess he thought I needed some updated music. Post by Sunday evening and he is going to choose 3 people to receive little goodies from me. Good luck and enjoy the tunes!

WE ARE EXTENDING THE DATE TO TUESDAY MORNING.............

Baubles and Primas

Okay, so I know you want to see a card or project........ so I was looking at all these little primas that I have and thinking what can I do with all these. Since I have boys I don't use them much and I wanted something that was going to focus on them. So I pulled out my neverending joy stamp set and I came up with this idea. Is this not beautiful, yet very simple? I ended up making a set of 6 variations of these and I am really happy with them. So ladies get out those primas and do something with them! My challenge to you.
The next photo is my Bella baubles.......... I had to share with you because they are so yummy. It kinda makes you wanna jump into a huge pile of them. The colors are so pretty and the little baubles are shiny and round. If you have not tried them out- it is a must!

Have an awesome weekend!

Spots and more spots!

This little giraffe is too cute and I decided to make this card using a sketch contest. Look at his spots, can you see them? They are flocked and that is sweet! Whilel I made one card, I thought I would make a second one as well. This one I just changed up the sketch a bit.
This one I did not flock the giraffe, just changed up his colors a little bit. I also wanted him to stand out from the card so I made the card base a little short and have him going above it. I still think he is just too cute!

I hope you enjoyed these little guys-

Cherries and Punches

You know, when I first saw this set I thought to myself, who puts fruit on cards? I mean, really- what kind of message do you send to someone on a card with fruit on it? Oranges/Limes, strawberries, cherries and apples- pleassssssssse! Well I got it anyways and I am telling you, I love the cards I can make with it but I am still troubled with the message to send. For instance, this card is so cute- but what message do I use along the bottom of it? You tell me, if you got this card, what would it say to you? And well, if you don't like the card and got it- it still might say something, maybe not something nice- but do tell! (hee hee....) I used real red card base, stamped with the RR and and OOlive for the cherries and OO grosgrain as well.

Oh and did you notice the scallop edge? Well when I was in CA last week and wasting time at Target I found the treading water punch and that is it- it scallops and punches the hole. Now to be honest, when I heard of this I thought I can punch that hole in my own scallops- but heck for 9.99- yeah, that is what they charge at Target ladies! NOT the 14.99 the other stores charge- so check out your local Target for this punch. So sweet!

Hope you like the card and please, do tell me what it should say girls!

Thank YOU!

Oh, what was it a couple of weeks ago when I was at Jen's we did 3 projects and this one I had not finished at her house so I had to bring it home and complete it. I have seen these tins and the little nuggets but had not done any. So we ordered a few and this is my finished product. Now, you can put candies in them but you know what else is sweet? Filling it with die cuts and chipboard shapes! I am thinking that I am going to host a party and give my hostess a sweet gift (not sur if it will be candy sweet or die cut sweet!). I am loving this paper-
Okay- then my mother's friend needed a card for someone that was an Eagle Scout and she wanted it to be a Graduation and Eagle Scout type card. Well, I am the last person to know anything about Eagle Scouts, what with my boys being into football, basketball, golf and video games, so I did some research with the ladies on SCS and this is what I came up with. The background is actually printed on cardstock and then I used the newest SU graduation set, added the fleur de fleu (what is that?). She was happy with the card and I thought it looked nice, masculine and seriously Eagle Scout. Now, she would like one for her great grand niece........hm, not sure if this is the direction I was going! Just kiddin............ this is the fun part!

Oh- yeah, I got the fritzzzzzzzzzzzz out of the puter- I think the little man did some overloading of the circuits loading some gaming stuff and it was tuckered out. Well this is something else I don't know much about but I am just glad it is fixed and I can post again! Talk to you later- I better do some more projects now!
