Happy Birthday

6. March 2010 by admin.

Ok, so I have seen Dawn McVey build these flowers from paper punches and have been wanting to try them for months. I finally tried it out and I had so much fun making the yellow one that I decided to make 5 more in different colors. I am always in need of birthday cards and thought it would be nice to have some on hand when I don’t have time to make them. I think I might make up a bunch of the flowers to have on hand to make card making go a bit faster too. These would be perfect to make while watching Greys Anatomy

This is the first one I made. I used my EK success punches 1 3/4, 1 1/2, 1 1/4 and 1″ circle punches. I inked the edges in a darker shade of yellow and then crumpled them up and unfolded them. I glued the circles together and added a button with PTI twine for the center. The border punch is Martha Stewart and the leaves are Stampendous - Sunny Flowers that I stamped and cut out. Sentiment is TCP Studio-Greetings.

Here’s a close up of the flower. Makes me think of spring!

Here’s another set of cards I made to have on hand. I needed three and didn’t have much time so I made about 10 of these since they were quick and I really liked how they turned out. I used box of dots by Hero Arts and the sentiment is the same as above.

Here’s some masculine birthday cards I made to keep on hand. I gave one to my 15 year old cousin and one to a co-worker. Again clean and simple and very happy with the look. I used Hero arts- snippets and the sentiment is also Hero arts- for him.

Here’s a card I made for my cousin’s daughter. The sketch was from the pink elephant challenge from last week. Image is imaginisce and paper was in my stash. Rhinestone from Queen and company.

Well that’s all for now. What did you think? I’d love to read your comments. Thanks for looking and enjoy your Saturday!

Happy 21st Birthday Jackie!

6. March 2010 by admin.

My cousin turned 21 and this is a little survival kit I made her. It’s full of things that she can use anytime. The yellow paper tells her what it is all for.

Here’s a close up of the tag that;s hanging on the bucket. The stamp is Studio G ($1 set that I picked up a year or to ago…St. Patrick’s Day theme). Brad is spare parts by the paper studio. I used DMC floss to tie the tag to the bucket. All the paper was from HL out of my scrap box. The tag is from the scalloped tag combo set #2 by Sizzix. The punch border is Martha Stewart. I colored the image with Sharpies.

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

Catching up…1 of 4 posts

8. November 2009 by admin.

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.

Wedding Party cards

30. July 2009 by admin.

I just finished making three cards for my sister. She needed a bachelorette card, a bridal shower card and a wedding card all for one of her friends. She told me that the colors were brown and that she was having wildflowers. I picked up the printed paper from American Crafts at Michaels along with the passionate (pink) paper by Bazzill. I love two sided papers for cards like this so you don’t have to try and match up colors. I also used white card stock. The first card is for her bachelorette party. The Martini stamp is from Vap! scrap.

The next card is for the shower. The stack
of presents is by katie & co. Both images
were stamped with Stazon Timber brown.

The last card is for the wedding. The

three-tiered cake is also from katie & co. The ribbon is Martha Stewart- dove white craft seam binding.
