Pop up Love

 This card was created using Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the Karen Burniston Pop N Cuts die. I changed the insert to the "LOVE" insert and used the dies that I got at CHA (in my class -Sizzix)  I love this pop up card!  I am so happy to play with this!   I can't wait to create more fun with this die!  I know it isn't a SU die but I did use mostly SU supplies to make it (although some was discontinued...ie: glitter).  The white was created with the white gel pen to highlight the letters and the curves on the swirl.

Christmas OWL Card

 

Well I am using a non SU card that I got at Tuesday morning...it was a package of 8 cards and envelopes, and the size is 7x5...so I used a NON SU border punch (I love it!) and punched along the edge.  I then layered textured green cardstock (pear pizzazz?- it was in my stash of cut cardstock) and then layered the H from the Sizzix / Stampin' Up! Typeset Alphabet Bigz #127553 $ 69.95.  I then layered the punched scallop circles and the 1 3/8 circle and 1 1/4 circle and then....using the Epiphany punch, and the crystal, I placed the owl design in the circle, and layed the disk over the image and punched!

 

I love this!!  I got to play with it at CHA but "M" store finally got them in, so I got it!  I love the cute things you can make with it. I miss our Build a brad kit. I wish SU would get it back but...I guess good things come to ends, right?

 

You can see the disks close up. they are just larger than the ones SU carried

Merry Moments Cards with Box!

MERRY MOMENTS 126911  $21.95

 

The box is not fully decorated yet but 8 cards and envelopes will fit in.  

Each card is decorated uniquely but this class will be a class that you will make your own designs. You can use my cards to inspire you, but I want you to try to create your own so you can make your cards at home rather than doing the cards that I create!

I added the sweet silver glitter paper and the coppery color and the red!  Along with Glimmer brads and dies cut from Stampin' Up!'s dies, these cards will be fun to give out to family and friends, and you can use the box to hold more cards, or any goodie you like!  There is enough paper to create even more cards at home!

Class is Saturday, October 6 - World Card making day!  We're also going to create a card to donate to the Operation Christmas Card.   This organization sends cards to soldiers who are overseas, wounded or returning home. It's something they can look forward to especially being far away from home.

If you can't make it to my class, think about donating a card to this organization!  You must sign the card, (handwritten message) and if you have any envelopes, please, don't seal the envelope!  You can drop it off at your nearest Michaels, (LONG BEACH TOWN CENTER) or me, or the Michaels closest to you!

My Digital Studio - Recipe Book

So, it's September..and still summer.  It's been the weirdest summer ever.

It's been hot and humid, and for California, and especially Southern California, it's been wet and hot-humid!  Today, it's Sept 5th and it's raining..yes..rain.

I'm sitting in my room (patio room) and the rain is falling on the roof and so I go outside to take a photo. My pool looks awful but you can see the drops hitting the water.  

STRANGE!  

It's like we're in Hawai'i but no tropics!

 

So...the traffic on the street is busy, I can hear the cars rushing down the street to get their kids to school that is around the corner from my house.  Yes, it is the first day of school.  Maybe the weather is missing the kids, so it's crying??  The parents are probably rejoicing that the kids are back in school...

heh heh

 

I decided that I wanted to try to make a recipe book for my daughter for her college days....so I compiled this and created this through My Digital Studio. I used the calendar format, and the recipe pages!  I looked though some of my cookbooks for recipes that are my daughter's favorites, and also through PINTEREST (CLICK!)that we've found (and made) and did a little book that was personalized with some of her friends...furry ones and human ones!

The quality of the book is really superb!  I was really impressed with the packaging too. It was mailed via UPS and in a sturdy well protected box!  (like Amazon.com)  It was nicely wrapped in cello also!  The colors are vivid and bright and cheery, just like I had created it on my computer!

 

You need to try this!  I'm not sure I want to print my Christmas cards this way, it might be too expensive, but I don't know if I will be sending out cards anyways!  I might not have any $$!  YIKES! (ok, somehow, GOD provides! and yes, I will get a few cards out!)

Hugs! ...and a happy day to all you parents 

to get your kids to school on time!
