Anniversary Cards

I was asked to make an anniversary card for a friend's son's 1st Anniversary. Since it was their first anniversary I wanted to use the colors from their wedding which was pastel green and blue.
The card I made I used Penny Duncan's Swing Card File and See from the Heart Stamp. I used VersaMark to stamp French Flair background. Mulberry paper from Korea I used behind the See with the Heart Picture. I cut Happy Anniversary from Martha Stewart's Elegant Cake on the opposite side. I used a variety of stickers from Jeffery Allen.

Since the card was for someone else to give I got nervous and made a 2nd card so she would have a couple of choice. I used some various die cuts in my accessories box.

My Hubby like the first card best and my daughter likes the 2nd one best. I like them both.
Tomorrow we shall see if my friend like either.

I think I am finally getting my ArtRoom the way I like it. Although I am still having trouble finding all my stuff. This week though it will be neglected for the sewing room.

Lovely Lady Part 3

Here are the next Pages of my Lovely Lady book. This Lovely Lady is Princess Katherine of France from Stampsmith.

The brads were picked up at a yard sale. The lace is someone's quilting leftovers.

This lovely lady is from Upset the Fruit Basket. The brads are Stampin' Up.

Lovely Ladies Part 2

Here is some more of my Lovely Ladies book. I don't the stamp company. Sorry. The music notes came from Hannah Montana Cart.

I know the lovely lady is a Stampin Up stamp but I don't know on the other stamp.s
I stamped the others on Vellum with White Brillance Ink and embossed with Sea-foam White.
I love the look it gives.

Finally the Font used throughout is Black Rose.

I played with Paper!

Yeah! I finally got to go for Art Club! This is one of the cards I made. It is for my nephew who turned 14 yesterday! He's on vacation so the card should be there when he gets home. This cute Penguin is from My Scrap Chick as are the top 2 waves. The bottom waves are from Zooballoo and the Font is Life's a Beach! I love how Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point colors go together!

Father's Day 1

Here is my Father's Day card for my Dad. I used my new Open Sea Stamp set from Stampin' Up. I love that set. Of course thanks to my Dad I am pretty much a sucker for any boat with a sail. Funny considering we've always lived right in the Middle of the United States. I got to have lunch with my folks and give him the card on Wednesday.

Ladies Group

So last month I got a call to do a craft night with the ladies at church. I had about a week to prepare, but it was a very busy week already. I enlisted another crafty friend into doing soda can flower pins with the Big Shot. I came up with 3 cards to make. The hardest part was my friend picked up a package of pastel paper. I'm more of a deep, rich color gal.

All three cards used Stampin' Up stamp sets. Four Frames, Because I Care and Thoughts and Prayers. I also used my Textured Boutique for some dimension.

They all went over well. Whew!

Pacific Point, Cherry Cobbler and Eary Expresso

While getting ready for Art Club on Tuesday, I was looking at my paper, trying to decide what to take with me. My eyes fell upon these three Stampin' Up colors and I decided to base all my cards on these colors. The stamps are a variety of stamps I've picked up here and there.
The second card I used the set Happy Together from Stampin Up. These pieces are all leftovers from another card I made but haven't shared yet. :)

In the Mail

Just a sweet little card to let someone know you are thinking of them! This little gal is a Belles n Whistles Stamps. The paper background is from Stampin Up. It is from their 6 x 6 in color paper hostess stack. That's a mouth full. I wish they sold these because they are handy dandy for cards!

A Little Sesame Street

These fun guys are from my Sesame Street Font Cart. Which if you don't have is an awesome font cart to have plus you get a bunch of fun pictures to boot! The border is a Stampin' Up punch. It's not mine but a friend's so I don't know which one it is. The Dots are also a background stamp from Stampin' Up.

Variety of Cards

I pulled out one of my House Mouse Stamps for this card. They are so much fun and just bring a smile to you face. Which I hope was the case for this card. It went to a friend who is having a lot of headaches at work.

This is the front of the card for one of my sister-in-laws. The owl is a free file from SVG Cuts. I'm not normally an owl person, but really liked him. The font is from Nursery Rhymes Cart.
I used my wind stamp from the Stardust Stampin' Up set. It's a really great set that I use all the time. I embossing it with Ranger's Pearl Blue.

This is the other card I made for my friend Deb. I used the Imagine, Country Life, Nursery Tails and Pooh & Friends for this card.

Sympathy Card

For a friend who lost her husband. I used the Imagine More Cart. The stamp is from hostess set at Stampin' Up.

Radio Waves

My brother is having a birthday next week. This is the card that I made for him. He is a Ham radio guy so I used his call letters. The base of the card is embossed with the Stampin Up Lattice Folder. I used the Radio tower from Nifty Fifites. The letters are from Designers Calendar. The inside says Happy Birthday in Morse Code.

PS. He loved it!

Cards for Care Packages

Here are the cards I've got done for the care packages. I've got a couple more I'd like to do, but we are putting them together tonight. We see how the afternoon goes. The Pink card is Gable Green and Pixie Pink Stampin Up Paper. The background is a Stampin up Itty Bitty background stamp and the words from a Greeting Farm set. The butterfly is from a little stationary set I got from a book fair a million years ago when I was still working. The white cards I used one of the A2 Gate fold Cards from SVG CUTS. I the front through the Texture Boutique with the Heart folder. The hearts are from Wild Card the paper is also Stampin Up, Pretty in Pink. I have a guest post tonight. Wait til you see. It's so BEAUTIFUL!

Cling Stamp Storage

I love the new Stampin Up DVD sized storage boxes. I finally got some more yesterday. Here is a picture of what I did

18th Birthday Cards

So I worked on Birthday cards today at club. The first card of my daughter's friend Dane. He is one of my kids and has spent almost as much time at my house as my kids. I used the digital stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I cut the 18's from the Cuttin' Up cart. I used my new Cuttlebug folder of Circles and Bubbles and the argyle folder my friend got the same day.

The 2nd card is for my Daughter's boyfriend. His birthday is Saturday & their "1st" anniversary is tomorrow. I used a Stampin Up set. Sorry I don't know the name. I stamped and colored these like 8 months ago. All the other bits are leftovers. I used a border Cuttlebug folder in 2 places.

Gonna jump in the shower and head to bed. Road the bike 4 miles at the canal tonight since DD & I slept through the alarms this morning. Gonna get up and do it again in the morning.

Been camping but made a few cards before that. Here is a couple that I made using Stampin Up's set,
Le Jardin Botanique. I also made a card for a girl from our church with a cut file from Mamaw's Legacy (http://mamawslegacy.com/cut/c1/c1.html)
