Fall Card - Give Thanks

Happy Morning Monday.  Here is a card that I made for our September card class.  It is a great fall card.  We used the Color Me Autumn Washi Tape and Fall Fest Bundle (pumpkin).  The washi tape was used to make a nice design in the fall colors.  This was a fun card to make for the fall, just had a hard time being creative for fall when it was 100 degrees.I love the colors on this card, you know how I love the color purple.  I really do like our color blackberry bliss (In Color).

Here is the recipe:

Tango Twist, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, and Cajun Craze card stock
Tango Twist, Mossy Meadow, and Chocolate Chip stamp pads

We pulled the sequins off the thread and used the multipurpose liquid glue to glue the sequins on the card stock.

Stampin Up Another Thank You Card

Today is a beautiful and hot California day.  Happy Monday.  I hope that everyone had a fun, safe and relaxing July 4th weekend.  I had a fun day with my parents, we BBQ and then to Riverside to watch the fireworks on Mt. Rubidoux. 

Here is a thank you card that I created for my thank you for my customers.  This thank you set is "Another Thank You" that is a photopolymer stamp set.  This is the first one that I have ordered and used that is a photoplymer set.  Stampin' Up has a few stamps set that are is type.  It does not have the rubber like the clear mounted stamps due, but it has a clear rubber and it sticks to the clear block real well, I liked that.  I had read to use a file or rough artist earser on the letting so the ink will really be on the stamp.  So I stamped a few that then took the our discontinued standing block and did it a few times on the rubber and it did make a differnce with a better stamped image.  I am going to order more of these types of stamp sets because I do like stamping with them.

Here is the recipe:
Another Thank You Photopolymer (#136724, pg 148) and Polka-Dot Pieces (flower #129705 wood and #129708 clear, pg 139)
Daffidil Delight, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White card stock

I hope that everyone is having a great Saturday this weekend.  It is a beautiful day so I wanted to share a card we created at our"Retirement Party" this past month.  This stamp set Secret Garden will be discontinued with our 2013/14 catalog.  Sorry I have not posted this earlier, but I have been having a problem with my watermark program and had to buy a different program and like it better then then old one that I was using.  It is so much easier to put the watermark on my photos.  So here is a beautiful card to give to someone for a special birthday.  It is a bright and cheerful birthday card.  We used the secret garden stamp set and framelits that are being discontinued.  

Here is the recipe:
Secret Garden (#131940 W and #129144 C) and Bring on the Cake "Happy Birthday" #128490 W & #121958 C) stamp sets - both are being discontinued

Wetlands Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday everyone.  It is a beautiful day in southern California today.  I was able to do a little stamping this weekend, so I would like to share some of my projects with you this week.  I wanted to share with you a really cool technique to do.  I used the label collection frame lit on a extra piece of card stock the same size as the whisper white card stock (3.75" x 5") and used the frame lit to cut out the design, then I put it over the whisper white card stock and used the 2 two colors to sponge in color in the cut out area. I liked the sponged look on the card.  This was a fun card that we made in class earlier.  I thought it was a good technique for today. 

Here is the recipe:
Wetlands stamp set (#126695 W or #126697 C)
Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock
Coastal Cabana and Soft Suede stamp pads
Label Collection Frame lits (#125598)
Decorative Label Punch (#120907)
Natural 7/8" trim (#129287) - this ribbon is being discontinued

Tag Punch Side Card and Candy Holder

Happy Monday Morning.  This past weekend the weather here in Southern California was beautiful.  We had some wind and going down the hill into Riverside Sunday, the sky was so blue.  I did work on some stamp projects this weekend.  I needed some thank you notes and realized I did not have that many in my box of cards.  So this week I will need to make some thank you cards.  I created this thank you card for a co-worker who has been substituting in our office and today is her last day.  So I have seen these  tag punch on sides of cards, so I looked on line to see how to do it.  It is very easy.  You just need to pull the card stock up over the slider they have on the punch.  I also made a candy holder but I put tea bags inside instead of candy.  She likes to have tea.  Usually you do not see whats inside, but the tea bags are wider and larger then candy.  I think it is a great little gift idea.

Here is the recipe:
Petite Petals (#133155 clear), Your Lovely (Sale-a-bration set) and Express Yourself (Hostess set #130399) stamp sets
Real Red and Whisper White card stock
Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (#132996)
Petite Petals (#133322) and Scallop Tag Topper Punch (#133324)
Deco Labels Collection framelits (#130102)
Whisper White 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon (#126877)
Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246)

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the thank you card and candy holder.

Love Card

Here is a beautiful wedding, anniversary or Valentine's card.  This is a card that we created in our Spring Card Class.  We made this beautiful flower with our new spiral flower die cut.  It is so easy to create.  Once you run the die cut through the big shot and get your pattern, you roll it up and then flower loosen up and then hot glue the bottom to the 2 petals on the pattern.  Then you have a beautiful flower.  We made the flower in cherry cobbler card stock and the deep red looks beautiful with the gold.

Burlap and Blooms Wreath

Good Monday Morning!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I had a relaxing weekend.  I did get into my craft room and working on some upcoming projects.

Here is picture of the Burlap Blooms Wreath that we made in our January class.  This kit comes with everything that you will need to put your wreath together.  You will need to use your hot glue gun and some glue dots and adhesive to put some of the flowers together.  It is very easy and fun to put your own wreath together.n  I did spread my flowers out when i put them on the wreath, where the sample had them closer together.
