Wedding Ring Card

I love Wedding Ring quilts, but I have only made a few rings for a mini quilt...yes, I used to quilt. I find that papercrafting is more gratifying since it is faster than piecing and sewing...but the rewards for a handmade quilt is amazing. I know..

so, since I haven't finished my quilt, this is my paper wedding ring quilt. I used the lattice die and the beautiful designer papers that Stampin' Up carries, and made this wedding ring card.

simple, fast and fun! And...I can make it in any color I want!

Aloha, Vacation shirt!!!

Aloha!
Hawaiian Vacation anyone?

This is the same shirt but new colors! I used the new Island Indigo and Calypso Coral along with So Saffron (not new). I love how tropical it still looks and yet it needed a Lei! So I create one using the Boho Blossom Punch

Super easy and fun! ....Now if I was only flying to Hawai'i!

Celebrate your birthday (patriotic!)

BIRTHDAYS are always fun, but to celebrate your birthday in July is always an 'explosive' occasion! (hee hee!) I decided to pull out my Large star punch (IT is RETIRING! - and the small one retired last year)...I am going to miss the star punch...so if it is something you want, be sure to get it NOW! I tied the string around the pacific point cardstock and stamped the happy Birthday on whisper white!

The inside has a surprise pop up! I made the party banner using the pennant punch, which coordinates with this party set! (it is a current set)...the punch works perfectly! I added a inside pop up which says "happy birthday"..and the balloons are popped up with dimensionals.

Now of course, you can use this as a invitation to a 4th of July party or maybe your party!

Hope

Yesterday was my Garage Sale Clearance, and Open House...

I had tables of clearance, and retired items for sale (and darn..!!! I didn't take any photos!!!) Well, we had about 14 plus people there, and stamped 2 cards. This was one of the cards we made. They got to use the new lace punch!

It is a little hard to punch but the effect is LOVELY! I love how pretty it is!

The H (for Hope) is punched out using the new Postage stamp punch and then it is framed by the Scallop square punch. I like how the 2 of them coordinate!

The paper is from the paisly petals Designer Papers and versamark the butterflies on the Bashful Blue cardstock...

I'm glad it was a nice beautiful day, and the canopy over the tables worked out great!

Bareback....

So, the other day, I shared with you, the picture of my daughter working on her projects. She was bored because just getting out of school and having a whole week to adjust to being at home and then starting her summer job working at the park in Long Beach. Long Beach has a great park recreation system for kids, and so being paid to play with kids is good for my daughter who likes to be active!

The horses were from a retired set {Bareback}and of course she used Baroque Motif. (our favorite set!) She added newsprint paper and stamped on that, burned the edges of the papers..and aged this set using craft ink.

LOVE IT!

Creatively challenged....HA!

My daughter considers herself crafting challenged. Well, she thinks she is. She also tells me she hates doing crafts, but that's not exactly true either. You know you have something special when you can sit down and put something together, and have it come out really amazing. That's what I think my daughter has in her....

Everyone can be creative!

She met and made friends this last year in College, and it was a great experience. So much so, that even after coming home from college, she's been talking and chatting and skype'ing with her friends almost every day! So, they each decided they were going to make something for each other....

Tori decided on doing a box for their things. So, for one girl, she decopaged a box with horses on it (I will show you that later..) This one, the girl loves HARRY POTTER...so she's making a box that has a magical feel to it. She was considering doing HP on it but this is so much more prettier! I love that the colors are fun and pretty. She painted the outside an eggplant color and then inside a beautiful shade of rosey pink. Then stamped using the Baroque Motif and Medallion stamps, and it looks just beautiful! The paints were Ceramcoat from the craft store, and the ink was our Stampin' Up Craft ink in vanilla, and eggplant envy.

Looks lovely, don't you think?

Thanks ...BIG TIME!

Simple thanks, with a quick card using very simple elements. I stamped white ink on crumb cake cardstock and then layered the designer label tag punch with red. I stamped the solid flowers (from the Fabulous Florets set)*new*
in Basic Black and then layered with Real Red Cardstock.

Added to the top left is jewels for bling!
