Thanks Again!

More thank yous. Autumn Days and more in colors make this a simple, yet elegant choice.

Thanks to You

I had some friends who needed to know I appreciate them, so I used some in colors and the "Lovely as a Tree" set. You can use that set year round.

Birthday Pop Up Card

I used Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss and Raspberry Tart DP papers. The Big Shot Pop-up Birthday Card die makes it pretty easy to assemble. I used Glue dots and glitter with a heat gun on the front. The Scallop oval and oval punches finished off the front.

Springtime Samples

As I approach some new workshops, I'm playing with some sets from the Occasions mini catalog. They are really cool. Hopefully, this doesn't ruin it for those who are going to be at the workshops, but I really wanted to get something fresh on the site.

The Choo Choo set is from the mini catalog. I love it. Riding hood red paper and ink, Pacific Point and Yoyo Yellow inks make it very kid friendly. I used the 1" circle punch, the ticket punch, the corner punch and the word window punch. I used Riding Hood Red ink on the tracks wheel. It was fun to make.

The Mother's Day card: Flowers and pearl center form the Pretties Kit, Almost AMethyst, Pink Pirouette and Tea Party DP papers. Certainly Celery ribbon. I used the sponge daubers to color the center of the flower with Pretty in Pink ink. Then I put Crystal Effects on the Center and placed the pearl in the center. I did this before adhering because the DP showed thru the center. When it was dry, I glued a 1" pink circle under the center and adhered to card. I also used the Big Shot texturz plate to give the pink paper an embossed look. Then I stamped using a stamp from the All Holidays set in Almost Amethyst. The Texturz plates are sooooo cool. They totally make the project!

The Father's Day card uses Sage Shadow, Barely Banana and Off White papers, Chocolate Chip ink and 5/8" ribbon. And I used sponge daubers to age the edges. I used the Thoughts of Father stamp set and Sweet Stems with versa mark for the background. (Sorry the pics are so dark. Someday I might get a good camera.

Altered Clothespin

I love 3-D objects. Like the paint can, slightly altering an object by adding embelishment s or paper is easy and fun! I used lots of mod podge and Bella Rose DP as well as the scallop punch, Riding hood Red paper. Stamped "for you" from the All Holidays stamp set on WW paper and punched with small oval punch.

Taylor's Favorite Creations!

My oldest daughter has made a few cards just to be able to put them on here. I think they're mighty nice. She used Flower Fusion Two flowers, Baja Breeze ribbon, Baja Breeze and Close to Cocoa CS, vintage brads, 1" and 1-3/8" square punches. This was her birthday and Christmas gifts this year. I think she's doing well.

Another Valentine's Card

What holiday begs for pink and brown together more than Valentine's Day? Here is another card made with the Love You Much Bundle. Used Close to Cocoa CS, Candy Lane DP, Close to Cocoa ink, scallop edge punch, Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa ribbon, scallop punch, Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Happy Valentine's Day

As part of the Love You Much bundle, you receive Candy Lane DP, three heart punch and the stamp set. This card uses Very Vanilla CS with the DP, Riding Hood Red ribbon and ink, scallop punch top note die cut for Big Shot, and a Vanilla 1/2 pearl.

Altered Paint Can

This is my too cool altered paint can that I made as a demo for my daughter's birthday party.  Ilove it!  Load of ribbon on the handle in Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose and Winter White.  To cover  the can, you pop off the handle, cut your DP to 5-3/4" x 12".  I adhered it at the ends with Tombow.  The other piece will cover the back and you can trim it before or after adhering it.  Decorate it with DP covered chipboard or rub-ons.  Whatever fits your fancy.  The can came from A.C. Moore.   Great gift or for storing goodies.
