Happy Veterans Day

11. November 2009 by admin.

Here are 101 cards that I made for Veterans Day. One is for my dad and the rest we dropped off at the Volunteer office at the VA hospital. These are altered scraplings that I found at Splitcoaststampers. I have been wanting to make these scraplings since the challenge was posted a few months back. I call them altered because on the challenge the finished size is 1.5×4 inches I believe. These have a finished size of 2×4.25. I had a lot of fun making these. I used Michelle’s advice over at Mish Mash (link on my sidebar). She is always showing how she preps everything first and then starts assembling cards. Wow does it make it seem to go faster that way than creating one at a time. I did the first batch of 50 on Sunday and then worked on the last 50 last night and this morning.

Supplies:

pp is by the Paper Studio picked up at HL, star punch I got out of a dollar bin…don’t remember where, the star border was made with my new edge punch from MS, the blue star paper is half of a 1 3/4″ circle punch, the sentiment is from Studio g, and I used Stazon jet black ink

Oh Baby!

I made two baby thank you gift sets last month. The first one is for my cousin who is having a baby girl in just a few weeks! The second set was for a co-worker who had a girl. The boy card is a set of baby shower invites I made for my sister. She was hosting the shower and these are what I whipped up for her. The match the set of baby gift thank you cards I made for her too. I don’t have them posted yet…they are on another disk and I’m not sure which one. I made those a few months back. Well, thank you for looking. I hope you have enjoyed it all. I am going to keep mass producing the cards that I have been working on for Veteran’s Day. I will hopefully get them posted sometime to more for you. Thanks and have a great night.

Congratulations! My parents celebrated their anniversary last month and her is the card I made them. I made one similar to this at the beginning of October and think it was a Project Tuesday challenge.

You can see that the gift card fits discretely behind the sentiment. I love this card. It took no time to make and is great for gift cards and such!

The card below was made for my sisters friends’ wedding. I have been making most of her cards for special occasions and such. I love doing them for her. I created the pp by stamping that image over and over again in chestnut roan ink.

Okay, so I have been crafting, just not blogging. Here we go. Here are all the things I’ve been creating the past few weeks…and we wonder where our time goes ;). First up Halloween treats. I believe all images are from inkadinkado (except for the ghost on the peeps jar).

I used my new Martha Stewart cemetary puch to make this disposible food bowl.

Here’s another disposible food tray I using inkadindado images.

Here are more peeps jars that the boys and I made for family and friends. We enjoyed our Colombus Day off to make all these. Sorry that the pics are sideways and that the trird is super small. I’ve been trying to figure it out, and haven’t yet.

Merry Christmas Noah!

7. November 2009 by admin.

Sorry I have been away for so long…don’t worry I have been crafting, just no time to blog about it :( I am hoping to get everything updated by tomorrow night and then keep up with it! I made this card last night and wanted to get it up to share with you. This card is for a little boy who is losing his 2 year battle to cancer. His wish was to celebrate Christmas and get as many Christmas cards as he can before he goes to heaven. Here is the link http://www.clickondet roit.com/news/21522646/detail.html where you can read his story and get the address to send him a card. This is the Friday Limited Supplies challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. Please find the time time to get a card to him whether you make it or buy it.

In the eyes of children we find the joy of Christmas. In their hearts we find its meaning. ~Leland Thomas
