Club Project Wedding!

These are the 3 wedding cards we will be making on Monday night.

Love Birds....

The DSP on this card is Elegant Filagree that's retiring : (

A Wedding Cake! This one uses the Elegant Lines Embossing folder for the Big Shot and the new triple punch for the cake top.

See the 'frosting' between the layers? I used a thin strip of cardstock and ran it through the crimper for a finished look. This card idea came from Linda A's blog 'polkadots and petals', although I did change a few things.

Super simple card but very classy.

You may remember this card from last fall. I made this for my brother's wedding and really liked it, it's very elegant (and cased right out of the catalog!). The "happy I do day' has a jewl and is heat embossed for a shiny finish - but it's difficult to see in this photo.

Club Members - I will see you on Monday!

Graduation and Teacher Gifts

This is a 5th grade graduation card that I made for some friends of ours' daughter. (sorry the picture is blurry - I'm not sure if my new camera is a dud or if it's me : ) This card uses the owl punch and Melon Mambo polka dot DSP. I had to make it girly-looking!

Another blurry picture but you have to see the matching envy!

And the gift - I made a juice pouch bag and put a pair of flip flops inside.

These are the juice pouch bags I made for my sons' teachers and student teachers. Whew! Now I need to make a couple more - one for me and one for Sam.

I'm liking the Kool-Aid JAmmers better than Capri Sun for these right now because of the graphics and bold letters. Fun!

Card Buffet Items

Here is a collection of some of the items that I am offering at the Card Buffet on Sunday, May 15th.

The vanilla card was made with an embossing folder and flower die cut for the Big Shot. I had previously posted a picture of the Pumpkin Pie card so scroll down if you want more info on that one.

This card features the new Strength and Hope stamp set. That butterfly is AWESOME - very detailed! All cards include the envelope which can be stamped too!!

Not all items are cards. Here is a cute little purse that is the perfect size for a small candy bar, chapstick, etc. It's made from just a 6x6 piece of DSP, so it's little but VERY cute!

Hope you like what you see!

Remember that mini scrapbook I posted a while back? Well, I decided to make a card to match it and use it for a Mother's Day gift. With a few photos inside I think it will make a nice gift for someone special. The cardstock is So Saffron and the DSP is Play Date.

Those of you that attended Stamp Club at Rhea's made the flowers and vase below. The flowers are from the Fun Flowers die cut for the Big Shot and the vase is made with the Petal Cone die. I used Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade cardstock.

The cards are a couple I just made 'for the fun of it'. The large card features the new triple punch that gives you 3 choices to choose from in one punch. Both cards use the stamp set Bold Blossoms from Stampin' Up!

Wow! it's been a long time since I've posted. No excuses - just a busy spring.

I hosted Easter Dinner at our house and here are the table decorations I made with the little chicks I posted earlier. This pix is of them under the Easter 'Tree' but when I set the table, each person had a chick and egg filled with goodies. They didn't look quite so 'cutsy' when the table was set but.....I forgot to take a picture of it!

They were pretty easy to make. I just used a dimentional to attach the chicks to the egg filled with candy and put it in the grass holder.

The holder is just a strip of green cardstock. I snipped all the way around almost to the bottom and then attached the 2 ends.

Close up of one chick.

And the grass holder.

Club Projects

I LOVE these colors together - Not Quite Navy and Pear Pizzazz! This card features the Plane and Simple stamp set.

The next card uses the Sew Suite stamp set. I had to make a card using this just to do the paper piecing for the dress form. The flower and pearl really draw your eyes to the center.

Here's some spring flowers to perk everyone up! These colorful cuties are made from the Fun Flowers die cut for the Big Shot and Poppy Parade and Marigold cardstock. After the flowers were cut out, I ran them through the Big Shot again with an embossing folder for some texture. Just pop one of these in your pencil cup to brighten your day!

Our Stamp Club meets this Sunday and these are the three projects we will be creating.

Peep - Peep - Peep!!

How about a few cute chicks for Easter? These long-legged leghorns are goofy looking but so fun! I used the 1 3/6" circle punch, scallop circle and the Boho blossoms flower punch for the orange comb on their head. Oh, I also used the polka dot embossing folder to give the body a little texture.

This little hatchling was born 'peeping'. Stampin'Pretty's Blog featured these chicks a while back and I had to make a few just for fun.
