A Thank You Card

I made this add for my Daughter's SIL, she made a cute mosaic picture collage of my grandson for me at Christmas. It is so cute and I enjoy it so much. I also made it for SCS CC311 & TLC313.

The quilt pattern is called "Bargello" , yes I learned something new!  There is a tutorial here if you want to learn how to make it. 

The color challenge used SU colors, Perfect Plum, Regal Rose, Always Artichoke. Loved using these colors. I pulled out my retired stamp set SU...Sweet N Sassy... I also used My Pink Stamper's Fruit &Veggie Puns

 I did not have enough Designer Paper in the correct colors so I stamped the images form Sweet and Sassy  in th e 3 colors on White cardstock and embossed the "Script" CB embossing folder on to Always Artichoke in order to coordinate the DP with the color challenge.

Hope you like it ...Until Later Happy Stamping!

Masculine Brithday Cards, OH MY!

One of the hardest cards I find to make is the one for the men in my family. this week I made a series of 6 Masculine cards. I am just going to show a few but they all had the same theme in the same color I used the tortise and the Bird from SU Wildlife Reserve(retired)  my favorite go to set wehn making a man card!

I made them to go with Wendybells F4A50 "Almost Monochrome". 

 I used GP White, Sahara Sand and Always Artichoke! I so need the Green right now anyway I can get it.

I used White Craft ink to sponge wipe on the Sizzix:Tim Holtz: Bricked embossed background. Love the look. Sizzix Leaf Branch(name?) die was used, as well as either the SU: Circle Punches, large oval punch and Designer label Punch.  and  a MS Embossed Zig zag punch.

Until Later...Happy Stamping!

Another Day, Another Card!

I know it seems unbelievable...but I made another card.. nothing totally new I just was looking at my stuff and I had some pieces of card stuff that were not used so I decided to make a card withthe scraps..even the base is scrap since it was a piece that didnt fully emboss to the end..something shifted when I was embossing.

   There are only a few new things used for this card. One was the embosslit butterflies from SU.  I have used them before and I love them.

 I did add an Embassy Black to the cardstock colors but other wise the colors are the same as on the daisy cards I posted a week or so ago.  I also used the SU scallop border punch on this card.  I also used the Happy Birthday Stamp again on the inside of the card. Now I am down to about 10 Birthday cards in the rears! I hope you like the card.
Until Later... Happy Stamping!

Retro Robo Birthday Card

So I need to get my stash of cards restocked...funny how it has drained itself the last few years while I have been so busy! Now I just need my routine back on track. Today I made this cute little card for a little boy. It was fun I dont  know why I dont get to do this more often!
I finally got to use my "Robotz" Cricut cart  which I just love...I also took a closer look at it today; I didnt realize it actually made a ton of 3D Robot boxes.  I might have to give one of them a try when my Card stash is replenished.  I used my stash box...I finally found it... amazingly I couldn't find it last week when I needed the green strips for the daisy card..so my Craft Space memory is improving...and the Mojo is starting to flow a little better.
  For this card I used pieces of  SU: Night of Navy, Certainly Celery, GP white. The black is Embassy, the light purple and a textured gray, sorry I cant remember.  I used SU Birthday Whimsy to stamp.. and QuiKutz EF's  Retro Diamonds and Polka Dots....I used Cuttlebug: Diamond Plate. After assembling all the pieces I realized that I hadn't done anything for the background. I remembered my DCWV Latte designer paper, becasue it had all the colors in it.  Luckily I had a large enough piece of stash that didnt look flowery and actually looks pretty good with the diamond and circle theme going on.
Last of all I put the pieces together and wished I had some little gear shaped metal brads becasue the wording looked lonely.  I remebered I owned a Creative Memories Hexagon Punch. so with that and a 1/4" handheld circel punch I managed to make some nuts. I hope you Like it!
Until Later...Happy Stamping!

Spring Daisy Cards

So I finally had some time to create and take Pictures. It seems during the Holidays I was making things and getting them in the mail before I thought Gee take a picture.

I am terribly behind on Birthday cards again so in the last few days I have assembled 5 and a half of these cards.  I need to cut out more daisies for th elast card... I used my "Walk in My Garden" cart and my Cricut to cut the daisy at 3 sizes each 1/4" smaller than the previous. I believe 2.5" 2.25" and 2".

I then embossed with swiss dots the daisies, Polka Dots the card bases, and Victoria the strips of Melon Mambo and then a piece of scrap which I punched the flower centers out of at 3/4".  after embossing the pieces I layered the 3 parts of Daisies and Centers and then pierce with a paper piercing tool.  I then inserted a ki Memories, "Juicy Summer" brad in the Melon color to hold the flower pieces together.  I bent up the flowers petals to give depth. I used a glue dot to adhere to the panel strip after adhereing all the layers together. I finally used the SU:"Tiny Tags" stamp and punch set, I purchased in October. I also stamped Happy Birthday form SU "Well Scripted" on the inside.  So fun making these spring like cards with all the snow outside!

Until Later..."Happy Stamping!" 

Simple Christmas treats

I have been working on a lot of things this past month. One was getting a new computer set up and running try as you may.. it just doesn't happen quickly enough.   I also worked on baking and decorations for a Christmas Party at Church. I used something similar for my Daughters wedding reception 2 years ago..because the budget was limited.  I traded the cookies I made at a cookie exchange and got a few treats! One of which I wanted to share because I thought it was so cute...My friend made Chritmas mice! she used marchino cherries stems make the tail, dipped in melted chocolate bark and a hugs with almond slivers for ears so cute...I can think of tons of different looks you could get using white bark and the different flavors of kisses so darling!

I made these candy cane raindeeer for my Son to hand out to his school class and teachers oh and the bus driver!  These are a long time favorite of mine for ease of making and putting together.

Sorry I have rotated and saved it on my computer and I keep getting a sideways view.

The second picture shows how many I made and has them upright...I will fix it later if I can get it to stay upright.

Last of all I finished up a Christmas Card Movie on DVD, decided to share lots of events in pictures this year since so many wonderful thing shave blessed my life, and going throughthe images mad e it easier for me to remeber so I decided to save myself a lot of writting and story telling because after all a picture is worth a thousand words right.

Oh and I also finished my DD's album, but forgot to take pictures before sending it in th email.  I will need to nag her to take some pictures once she gets the images in it.   Since she is expecting now we will see how that goes...if she doesn't get it done I will have to take them in the Summer when I go to help with the baby.
Until Later...Happy Stamping!
