Triple Happy Birthday!

Hello!  Today's card is a birthday card I made for my stepdaughter last month!  Before I show it, I want to warn you, that is doesn't have any designer paper on it!  Not my usual style but ... oh so pretty!  Enjoy!

 

 

My stepdaughter loves purple.  So, I knew a purple card was in order.  I have to add a funny story here, I found some birthday paper in my stash that had purple and I thought I would pair it with an a la mode stamp of a girl with a cake, but decided to check out on my own blog to see what I made for her last year ... I did that exact paper and stamp last year ... oh my goodness!  So, it went with purple copics and did this triple stamping technique.  Love how it came out!  I she loved it too!

Happy Stamping!

Autumn Greetings!

Hello!  I had told you I had some cards that I made last month that I had not shown you, well today's is one I made for The Crafty Scrapper's blog but didn't set it up on my blog to post the same day.  (Not even the same month, that is bad!)  Better late than never ...enjoy!



 

 



 

This card was inspired by all the pretty fall banners I have seen.  I thought I could do a mini paper version on a card.  This is the result!  Paper, twine, Impression Obsession's leaf die, a sentiment and some rhinestones make up this fall card!

 

Happy Stamping!

Sunday's Words of Wisdom!

Hello!  I saw this and thought, "oh, how true"!  Enjoy!

This is going to be a busy week as today I am helping out with the store move and then prepping and teaching this week too.  I still have a few cards that I made last month that I haven't shown you, so I will try to do a couple of posts late this week. 

Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with another share between Debbie and I.  Are you tired of Halloween cards yet?  I hope not because I have another one for you today and in fact, I have made five more that I will show you before the end of the month.  Debbie on the other hand, is doing birthday cards, because she has a lot of October birthdays in her family (including hers)!  Let me show you my card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we both used!  Enjoy!

Debbie's Card



The Sketch

Did you notice that I cheated?  Yes, the extra element was supposed to fit on the left top side with the bow on the right like the sketch.  Well ... I did it opposite, element on the right and bow on the left.  I really wanted to use that image and the sketch just wouldn't work unless I changed it!  I also love Debbie's balloon element how she added glossy accents to make it look thick and realistic!  Love them both, how about you?

Happy Stamping!

Saturday Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with the share between Debbie and I.  I will show you my card, then Debbie's, and then the sketch we both used.  Enjoy!

The Sketch

What do you think about this sketch?  I love another horizontal choice.  My image was actually much bigger than the oval on the sketch, but I really wanted to use it, so I made it work.  By the way, that cute "Frank" image is one that I stamped off from a friends stamps last year at one of the crops, so I am not sure of the company that makes it, but it just gives me a little chuckle.  Too cute!  Love how the papers, button and image that Debbie picked all goes together for a vintage look. Thoughts?

See you tomorrow.
Happy Stamping!

October Class Share!

Hello!  I worked on my next class samples earlier this week.  I have them to show you today.  The Crafty Scrapper had gotten in a bunch of newly released dies from Impression Obsession, so I decided I would make the dies the focal points instead of my usual rubber stamps.  I love how all three came out.  Here are my cards ... enjoy!

First up, is an angel die.  The set actually has two dies in it.  This one and one of an angel kneeling.  I thought the one flying would make a perfect card made like this ...

 

And this is the view on the inside ...

 

The dies for the next card are a set of apples and a bushel basket along with a separate die that has a bunch of mini pumpkins.  This card does not show the dies until it is open.  It looks like this when you take it out of the envelope ...

 

 And then when to top is pulled, it changes into a standing pop up and shows that cute bushel basket ...

 Here is a side view...

 

And last but not least, we will be doing a Z-Fold card which is a super simple design, but it really shows off the tree cut out die that comes from a set of three trees.  This die is made to cut out of the card as opposed to standing alone as most dies.  However, they have added an outline tree in the set, so you can also die cut this traditional way too.  Here is the front view ...

 

And the open view ...

Here are the class details if you are interested in a kit or would like to come to my class ...

You will be creating three unique and fun cards using  brand new dies from Impression Obsession.  First, is a card with a flying angel.  Next, is a standing pop up card in a fall theme with a bushel basket, apples and pumpkins.  And for the last card, we are using one of the dies they call cutouts and doing a z-fold tree card.  Please bring adhesive to include scor-tape (1/8" or 1/4"), pop up dots, a small Xyron (if you have one), and detailed scissors.  All other supplies will be provided.

I know I have been really bad about making cards for the blog, posting the cards I do make, but I will try to get back on track soon.  See you tomorrow for the weekly share!

Happy Stamping!
