I found instructions from Dawn Griffith's awesome website for this card.  

I made them for my family.

 My niece Hailey celebrated her 9th birthday this month.

She loves all things Paris so I thought a vintage looking card would be perfect for her!

 I added a talking tag to the inside so she could hear us sing Happy Birthday!

Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season!

Wedding and My Front Door

One of my co-workers was married this summer, and guess who was elected to make the card from the office? ME!!! I didn't have any wedding type stamps, so I used the set Family Reunion. 

 KristyTaylor    www.inkdays.blogspot.com

I used different emboss folders and lots of dazzling diamonds and shimmer paint.

(Don't think it shows up in the pictures!)

It was a 5x5 card with a pocket to hold our gift card, and had lots of room for everyone to write in.

I love the pin wheels so much! And my front door was crying for something, since I had to take down the Easter wreath!

I didn't have any wreath forms handy so I made one out of cardboard, and stuck the pin wheels to it!

I think my door is happy, and so am I with the way it turned out!

Father's Day

Hope you all had a Wonderful Father's Day! 

Here is the card I made for my Dad! Thanks to Shirley whom brought over instructions on how to make these awesome wrenches made with punches! ( original idea by Heidi of Two Happy Stampers blog) 

 The rain stopped just long enough for Vincent to play his last game of the tournament. 

Here he is with his Silver metal! Making his Dad proud! (And Mom too!) They played a really great game and only lost by 3 runs to the best team in our division. 

What a great way to spend Father's Day!

 This Month we also wrapped up My Stampin' Club.

I gave each of my members a gift card, for more stampin stuff of course!

And finally my 3 x 3 Thank you cards for this month. 

( I make little cards for everyone that places an order each month)

I'm loving those pin wheels! I think I may have to make a wreath for the front door with pin wheels!?!?

I'll keep you posted!

June's Stampin' Projects and more!

Here are June's Stampin' Club projects.

The Pin Wheels are so popular right now and remind me of Summer!

And so easy to make too!

 We also made this coffee cup gift card holder.

I found the instructions by Lorri Heiling.

 It's perfect for a Starbucks card or Tim Hortons.

  The last card was made with the New In Colors for 2012-2014. 

My Mom celebrated her Birthday at the end of May.

This is the card I made for her. 

Here is the Mothers Day card I made for my mom.

I found the instructions online. 

And the framelits purse to match! I put some nail polish and hand lotions inside.

Thanks for looking!

Thank You!

Thank you to all of the Wonderful Ladies that made our Open House a Huge Success! 

We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Here's Barb! I always seem to get her in the kitchen! She's always making sure everyone has enough to eat. Thanks for all those yummy treats!

 Here is Erin at the Make 'n' Take Table.

We had 3 awesome cards to make!

 And here I am!!

I had to pose with the new Catalogue!

Love the colors on the cover!

 We had our Rubber Garage Sale again, with all of our retired stamp sets.

Lots went too! 

 Our Craft Fair Table was packed with things we made!

Father's day cards went fast!

Had to include a picture of the babies I made!

Aren't they cute?!

All but one went! and I have had orders for more! If you would like your very own Owl, Please let me know! I'm working on making ones with the new fabric from the Catalogue.

If you didn't get a chance to make it to our Open House, maybe we will see you at our Christmas Open House!

Thanks for stopping by! Kristy

May's Stampin' Club

This month we used some the soon to be retired Mocha Morning DSP.

If you want this paper, better hurry it will be gone for good as of May 31st!

We made a 3 x 3 card with the flocked pieces of DSP. Love that Blossom punch!

Used another favorite, Vintage wallpaper emboss folder for the background.

I found this cool technique online called Herringbone.

You use the multi purpose adhesive sheets to create this card. Time to use up all of those scraps you've been hanging on to!

 Barb made this cute little purse out of Sale-a-bration paper and the framelites for me.

Once I saw it I knew we had to make it for our club project!

So here it is in Mocha Morning DSP! The clear rhinestone brads are perfect for the purse.

 

Looking forward to our last Club Meeting in June! We will be using new products from the New 

2012-2013 Catalogue! If you would like to join us, send me an email!

Just a reminder the Open House is around the corner! Saturday May 26th anytime between 12-4pm.

Hope to see you soon!

Kristy

Craft Fair and April's Club Projects

Thanks to everyone who came by to see me on Saturday! It was an ugly day outside, but many people braved the rain to come and have a look!

My Mom stopped by and took this picture of me and my table.

Here are the cards and matching envelopes we made for Stampin' Club this month!

The first card is a CASE from Ilina Crouse. Ilina had stamped her background, but I had to use my new Stripes emboss folder (don't know if you can see that in the photo).

We also used some of the new products from April's Promotion Called Summer Smooches! This only available for April then you will not be able to order again till June from the new catalogue. The Fabric brads are only available for the month of April.

We also used the new Diagonal Plate to create the Envelopes.

I loved how they turned out! Can't wait till June to see the rest of the new products!

Have a great Easter weekend!

March Stampin' Club

This month I decided to highlight the Blossom Punch from the Occasions mini.

The first card is one that I cased from the Stampin' Success Magazine, that all demonstrators receive.

The technique is called Acrylic Distress.

I used Twitterpated DSP for all of the cards.

This card I used 3 of the blossom punch DSP pieces and a Baja Breeze flower punched from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch. An In-color Brad in the center.

I used the Sale-a-bration Stamp set Elementary Elegance, and Bordering on Romance set from the mini. We also used the Adorning Accents Edgelits dies and Embossing Folders for the bottom of the card.

I cased this card from Becky Roberts

I love the look of the Blossoms embossed and glued on to the Whisper White CS.

The Twitterpated buttons from the mini go so well with the paper!

Just love this card!

The Blossom punch also has a matching Stamp set called Mixed Bunch from the Mini catalogue.

Your creations are endless!

Happy Stampin!
