First Christmas Card Class

 Can YOU believe it?!! It's November!  I can't!  It has gone by so fast, and although I have been stamping some, I haven't been blogging....I think that all this social media (facebook) is very time consuming and I have been posting things there...I have a facebook page for my stamping, and even though I haven't posted very much there, it's been more recent than here!  (click on "facebook page")

I have been doing lots of creative projects with more than just paper but also working PT at Michaels has been keeping me in the loop with new and fun ideas!

 This is a Sizzix die that I purchased from M-store and I wanted to use my Stampin' Up! to embellish it!
I love the window die and the embossing folders!  Fun Fun Fun!

Interactive Cards - Pop up message!

 So...I get newsletters from all over the place on card crafting and have purchased from other companies that produce books..I love pop ups..so it is just so much fun when you come across cards that are made using Stampin' Up! products!  (and especially when you recognize who the 'designer' is who created a card using Stampin' Up! products!)  I saw this book and recognized Jan Tinklenberg's handiwork!  She had projects in the first Interactive Card book and so I figured she would have projects in the SECOND book!  (and of course, she did!)

 I created this card using Jan's ideas...and using new stamps and new papers (and new colors too!)...

 

Voila!  What do you think?  

Sending this to someone who is a work in progress (aren't we all???)

might just lift their spirits and make their day!

 

Look for this book on Annie's catalog website!

Come to the class this next saturday

Merry Christmas!

 No, I haven't lost my mind!! But I have started to think Christmas...I don't have much paper from the NEW MINI yet so this paper is from last year, but the idea is sweet anyways...!!!

 Stamped the dove using Smokey Slate and then the Peace in Gumball Green

All is layered on Gumball Green...

The pop up brings out the die cut out which fit perfectly!!!

Still need a few more details added....

I am just happy I got a card stamped!

Even though the papers are last years....I can still send it out to someone special!

Now I need to stamp a card for my dad....

stay tuned!

Pop Up Halloween!

TRICK or TREAT!

Beige Birthday!

 I have been seeing trends where everyone comes to a birthday party in the same color, and one that struck me was a friend's daughter who had a celebration at the park, where everyone wore beige/cream colors. It was a 30th birthday and it looked so cool! The table cloths were beige, and the decorations were beige, the servers were wearing beige...sooo cool!  I decided to make a beige pop up card!

 I used my spinning platform die by Karen Burniston, to create the base of the card, and then stamped in black on white cardstock (well, there has to be something different, right?)  and colored in using neutral colors.  (this is crumb cake)

All I need to add is the gift .....(gift card!)

Pop n Twist Card for Halloween!

 ok, it is that time of year again...and I have another project that I am giving you a sneak peek!  This is for my annual Halloween fun Class - Sat, Oct 27!  I got inspired by Cindee Wilkinson, who created this fun masking idea (she did this and it just made me realize I haven't done it in awhile...)..I love the idea!  This project involves masking all over!

The Mummy is stamped, and then masked, and then you mask the strip...and stamp!  I added the spider and the Halloween greeting and the strip of striped paper (try to say that one FAST!)

The base of the card was created with a (non-su) die by Sizzix!  I love it!

Praying for you -Sympathy Card

We don't like sympathy cards.....at least knowing we have to make one means that someone is feeling pain and we feel that we need to pray and support them.  That's the positive side of making a sympathy card.  The recipient should feel some sense that there is life that goes on and we send hugs through the mail.  

My friend, who used to come to my dental office just lost her husband.  Now she's dealing with the loss of her husband...and she lost a son a few years ago, and it just seems that it cuts just as fresh as it was when it had happened.

I haven't seen her in awhile but when I was going through my divorce, she helped me by sharing a book that she read when she was going through some difficult times.  This is why she's special to me.

I make this easel card for her........

.....not for her husband

 

Pretty In pInk, layered with Certainly Celery.

Punched with the trio flower punch (retired)

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.

Button Buddies

I LOVE POP UPS!
This is a pop up card that I'm doing next Saturday at my FUN CARD CLASS!!!  I love that it is so simple to do!  The Tissue box was created using a rectangle piece of cardstock and I glued designer paper on it to make it look pretty, and then the flowers to make someone sick...feel better...

don't you think they would be on the way to recovery after getting a card like this?
