Another Day of Gratitude Card

I just love this stamp set.  It is soooooo beautiful!  I made the strip of pattern paper with a more mustard piece of card stock and just stamped the image in more mustard, early espresso, and cherry cobler.  I think it turned out gorgeous!  This card I think is simple but beautiful and oh so easy to make.  It was such a perfect day to make a card, cloudy skies, lightening, thunder, and lots of rain.  It was nice to have a bit of cooler weather after so many hot days.  That's all for now!

Recipe:

Card Stock:  Crumb cake, early espresso, more mustard, cherry cobbler, very vanilla
Stamps:  Day of Gratitude
Ink:  more mustard, cherry cobbler, early espresso
Accessories:  Lots of punches! 

From the Crypt Halloween Class

Here is a picture all together of the items that are in my Halloween class.  Sorry the picture isn't a little better.  I have 3 different times that I will be holding the class.  On October 8th (12:00 pm), 9th (10:00 am), and 12th (1:00 pm).  And the cost for this class will be $30.  These items do take a little time to make, but oh so much fun!  If you have any questions about the times, location, cost, and dates please email and ask.  Here are some other pictures of the individual items.

This box is almost 7 x 7 and fits all of the little goodies inside.

These votive holders (battery operated) were made from a favorite die called Fancy Favor.

 

This was made using chipboard coasters.

These items were sooooooo much fun to make!  My SIL and I had a blast one weekend making them.  I know you will to.

Recipe:
Lots of stuff, but my favorite Wicked Fun Specialty paper and From the Crypt stamp set.

Day of Gratitude Thank You Card

 

It has been a long time since I have posted.  We had summer break (which went by waaaaay to fast), moved and since the kids have been back in school sickness for a month.  This is a thank you card that I made for a few ladies that have purchased some of my retired stamp sets.  Sad to see them go, but need to made room new ones.  It was made with the stamp set that we got at regionals called Day of Gratitude from the Holiday Mini.  And not to mention that I LOVE THE HOLIDAY MINI!!!  It has got some beautiful things in there, including fabric!  And of course I used the big shot and my favorite embossing folder the Square Lattice.  Enough for now, hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

Paper:  cajun craze, old olive, whisper white, more mustard, early espresso 

Stamp:  Day of Gratitude

Ink:  More mustard, cajun craze, old olive, soft suede (some in markers)

Accessories:  big shot, square lattice die, scallop circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, ribbon  

Big Shot Scallop Square

Just a quick post of a card I did yesterday.  This is a card that I made using the big shot and scallop square die, and of course my favorite embossing folder.  Although I just got the polka dot embossing folder in the mail yesterday.  So we will have to see if this one remains my fav!  The die is bigger than I thought it would be, it is 4 3/8" x 4 3/8".  It was such a fun card to make.  And the stamp is one I got for free during sale-a-bration called "A Flower for all Seasons".  It is one that I have been oggling for a while and was estatic to get it for free.  I will try and keep the posts coming as in the next few weeks I will be packing as we will be moving.  I could just start shivering over the amount of packing that needs to be done.  I hope you enjoy!

Bright Charming Birthday

Tis the season for birthdays in my family.  We have 6 in May and 4 in June.  I love how this one turned out.  I purchased the Charming stamp set in December and finally got to pull it out and use it.  And with pixie pink and green galore (both retiring) markers and papers, this card turned out bright and fresh.  I have to admit that the bold brights family has never really been a favorite of mine.  I would take a look at a full sheet of card stock and think "Wow, that's bright".  But I am finding that when I use them in small amounts like this, I really love them.  It just took Stampin' Up! to retire them for me to notice.  As sad as I am about these colors retiring I am very excited about the new colors that are coming.  I think they are beautiful!  I finally used a technique they showed us at convention a couple of years ago with the markers.  I inked up the image with versa mark and colored with the markers on top.  By doing so I was able to emboss the image with clear embossing powder.  Hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Charming, well scripted
Ink:  Close to cocoa (retiring), green galore, pixie pink, versa mark
Paper:  Close to cocoa, green galore, pixie pink, whisper white,
Accessories:  Taffeta ribbon, eyelet border punch, corner rounder punch, heat tool, clear embossing powder

Greenhouse Garden Birthday

Can I just say I love love love the new Square Lattice embossing folder in the summer mini!  It gives the coolest texture.  I made this card for a family member who has a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks and she loves purple.  And of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on my new stamp set Greenhouse Garden.  This is such a fun stamp set to play with, and the flowers in it are gorgeous.  I have some big plans for this set cards, scrapbooks, and my all time favorite ASK frames.  Hope you enjoy.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Greenhouse garden, short and sweet
Ink:  Basic black, almost amethyst (retiring), lovely lilac (retiring), old olive, garden green
Paper:  Lovely lilac (retiring), whisper white, basic black
Accessories:  Taffeta ribbon, word window punch

Upside Down Garden

This is a picture of my birthday present from my mom.  I finally went out today and bought the veggies to go in it, and with my two little helper got it planted.  I have 4 tomatoes hanging and up top I planted 4 bell peppers and basil in the center.  This takes square foot gardening to a whole new level.  In the small pot on the side I planted the herb curry, and it really smells like nummy curry.   Can't wait to see how this works out!
