From Patty Bennett's site,<----click here!.... I found this cute card, which she got from another talented stamper! You can find the tutorial from her site as to how to make this cute card! (look under Husband Swap ---her husband made one for the husband swap on the cruise)
I think that it has a lot of fun potential for any gift from Christmas to Birthdays, and thank yous, as well as anything in between! Can you see a cute little package of temporary tattoos for a special child?? or maybe...a stick of gum! NAW!! Give me a VISA gift card with lots of $$$$! ......I did a computer font inside the card, and found a few cute "coffee" quotes on the internet...and then stamped the greeting from the Hugs and Wishes set ....
for this last one, it is thin, so..I cut a small strip from the top of the stamp, to lay across the cut line of words. This will stabilize the stamp so it won't slide off. I hate that it is so thin and there is a risk that I will catch the edge of this added rubber, but, it will stabilze it so it will be used.
The base is a pre-made card, with envelope, which I had plenty of supplies. These are not available any longer in the catalog, but I had a couple of bulk packages of Glossy notecards, with envelopes. The great thing about using pre-made cards, and envelopes is that you already have the BASE together, you just need to decorate it!
There are many sizes of cards and envelopes in the Catalog and Idea book. Be sure to check them out on the online catalog or in your catalog. They are on page 167.

Greeting cards are 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" #107292 20 cards for 6.95
they do include envelopes!
There are also smaller mini cards that are in the right column...so make sure you check those out too..they will match many of our DSP (double sided papers)
ttfn..have a blessed Easter...
ps. Happy Birthday to my brother Curt and to my cousin Natalie...(Natalie is 30 today!)....and I won't tell you how old my brother is ..he's younger than I am....shhhhh!!!!!
Jan has better photos and a tutorial as to how to make this cute project! You can use it as a scrapbook project, birthday card for a SPECIAL friend who you know will never throw this away! In fact, I am thinking that I will make another one using (non Stampin' UP!) Basketball paper for Tori's basketball teammates who are graduating from Wilson.....Seniors who are Varsity team-mates!
I decided to use a different stamp set than the one Jan used, and since Tori loves horses, and riding...and I love this photo of her....decided to try them in this project together. I love to take photos and since only have 1 child...have to do with the same photos over and over..but you get the idea....
I did the same thing with this ribbon that Jan did, but you can see that I did this in another project. You mono a smaller ribbon on top of a larger wider ribbon to get a different effect. It is lovely, don't you think?
And to show you that it isn't very easy to get photos...I have distractions...this one loves to be in the photo....he can never understand why I want to photograph some silly piece of colored papers, when I have this lovely fur ball.......lol
Inspired by Andrea Walford...I decided to make my own set of cards, and this will be a class I will be teaching.....I love the Bali Breeze papers, the bright colors, the way the stamp sets go along with this designer double sided papers!! As I was sitting watching the NCAA game, UCLA vs Mississippi Valley, I decided to use the time to not just to watch the game, but to stamp and make up my card for a future class!
Well, first you cut it out, and keep the paper that comes with the rub on together. It will keep it from sticking to places where you DON'T want it to go!
Place it on the object that you want it on. Make sure the object is clean from fingerprints or greasy spots. I used a bit of 'window/glass' cleaner before applying. Make sure it is dry, and clean! Rub it on using the popsicle stick or bone folder
Rub rub rub until the image transfers to the object. You can tell when you look at the plastic and gently lift off the plastic and the image should be sticking to the object. If it isn't. go back and rub on again.
I am posting this again..sorry for the repeat
This last one was my version of the other sample in the Occasions brochure, except I have my "own" asian girl to use as my photo. I used the rub on on a Wild Wasabi circle cut with the Coluzzle. I mounted the photo on the Wild Wasabi, and love the effect of the rub on as a pattern on the paper. I then just got the flower embellishments, so I stacked them togethe and used a FIRE brad to highlight the center. I think this polishes off this very well.
not the cat...Stitch is mine.....sorry
Well, I said I would be stamping more this weekend, and finally I got them scanned and so now I can post them to my blog...
I usually have a problem on where to get started, so, at least, using these cardstocks, I already had 1 step done! And, after seeing all the cute things that other bloggers/stampers have done with A GOOD EGG set, I decided that I HAD TO HAVE THIS SET!
Will this make you want to buy the set? Well if not, then you'll have to check out some of the other bloggers and see their cute things they've done. You will want to have this set if not for Easter, then just for F*U*N!!
I am going to get the Enjoy Every Moment Bundle myself!...I think it has a great set and there have been really good samples posted on SCS and other sites! I hope to have samples posted soon myself! ...and I hope you all had a great time with Sale A Bration this year 2008....it was a fun time - short and sweet!
Happy St. Patrick's Day...did you wear Green?
