3D roses & butterfly

One month for Stamp-A-Stack I did all cards with roses...which are my favorite flower along with white daisies. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than having white daisies peek out in between deep red roses.

This card was made a while back and I realized that I didn't post it. So, here it is.

I started off with Always Artichoke for the card, layered Bashful Blue (sponged with White Craft for a cloudy look) & then added my leaves, roses and butterfly.

The 3D roses tutorial is located here.

The leaves are made with the Sizzix Big Shot and the Little Leaves Sizzlet (exclusively Stampin' Up!). The butterfly is Beautiful Butterflies die (also exclusively Stampin' Up!) and then textured with the Texturz Plates Backgrounds 1.

emergency card kit #3

Last, but not least...here is kit #3.

I used the same layout at kit #2 except I changed the patterned paper to Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper. And, instead of using flowers, I decided to make these a bit more simple looking with circles and buttons.

They're very clean looking.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks for stopping by.

card candy swap

My swap group decided to swap card candy & cards last month. So, this is what I got....


It was made by Kathy Stewart

Twelve cards & lots & lots of candy!

Thanks for coming to see me!

Kathy

feelin' blue?

or should it be green?

Doesn't this card seem to say 'Get Well Soon'? I think it might be the big green bulbous nose that looks like he's got a cold.

season of friendship

What a great fall card! Even though our temperatures here in Southern California are still in the 100's. Wanted to show you the really cute idea of using a jumbo eyelet as a tire swing.

with sympathy

I'm organizing....slowly. And I keep coming across cards that I've made and never blogged. So, be prepared.

This is another Stamp-A-Stack card from about a year ago. The words were fonts I chose from my computer, printed and then punched out.

It's mostly non-Stampin' Up! stuff. Only the Organdy Ribbon (which is retired), the 1-3/4" Circle punch and the Top Note die.

manhattan flower textured impressions

I love this card. It was for Stamp-A-Stack a couple of months back. It was really easy too. The hardest thing about it was taking the time to put the ribbon together....and, that just took patience.

black-eyed susan

ok....why does everyone keep calling this a Sunflower? It's 'clearly' a Black-eyed Susan. Well, at least it is to me....

Anyways, it's been my new favorite flower and I've been making a lot of them. See my original one here. I changed the color from Chocolate Chip to Basic Black and decided I like the Chocolate Chip better. It's softer and more appealing to me.

These were made to swap at a Stampin' Up! meeting I went to...hence the basket full of them.

old convertible

Not only is this an old convertible, it's an old card.

A while back a friend of mine asked me to make some invitations for a surprise birthday party for her (then) boyfriend.
He was turning 50 and she wanted to make it a 50's theme.

This is what I came up with....a card that looks like an old photograph.
Inside had all of the invitation info that I printed out from my computer.
She loved it.

She also asked me to make centerpieces for each of the tables. each one was a box of candy from the 50's & she made them into door prizes.

I also made party favors (thank you for coming) with personalized m&m's.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of those to show you.

However, she said it was a great turn out & everyone loved the whole theme.

For the layout, I simply turned the card 1/4 turn.
