Merry Christmas!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We were spoiled again this year! We are fortunate to have holidays together as a family. So nice to not have any plans, just take time to relax! Merry Christmas!! 

Have to share some of the cards and gifts I made for my Stampin' Club ladies. 

And my Christmas cards this year. 

And the gift card I made for a friend. I just love how the envelope turned out with the envelope punch board, velum and the emboss folder.

December's Stampin Club

Here are all of the projects we made this month. The tag on the bag can be used as an ornament for your tree too!

The gift card holder is a CASE from Cindy Beach whom I found on Pinterest. Just loved it so much I had to make it!!

And can't forget about the tags for your gifts this year! 

Love that Endless Wishes Photopolymer set! I guess everyone else did too that's why it sold out!! 

Thank you to all of my Club members for a wonderful 2013!! Looking forward to seeing you in 2014!! 

3x3 cards

I give little 3x3 cards as a thank you for your order each month. And here are two of the most recent ones. 

This one was for the beginning of October. Love the washi tape!!

The second card I used the Paper Pumpkin stamps in October's kit. 

November's cards to come! 

Happy stamping!!

October's stampin club

October for me means Halloween projects!! We used the pop n cuts die for this creepy crawly card. Did some rainbow embossing with tangerine tango and black emboss powder. 

Made a washi banner for the inside. And the new chalk pen, that stampin up came out with, is perfect to write your message inside!

Love the "Eat if you Dare" stamp perfect for some gummy worms!

And the last card was made with the Deco Label framelits to create a 3D Easel card. I cased this original idea from Karen Burniston. Don't you just love the ghost made from the owl punch?!

Hope you have a fabulous October!!

Stampin' Club returns!

September is the start of my Stampin Clubs! So happy to have returning club members as well as some new ones!!

Here is what we made this month. 

The first card uses the very cool Thinlits label die. We added the extra length by sliding the one edge over the die instead of under where it would get cut. 

The next card is a file folder card. After seeing many on Pinterest, I had to try it. 

We made the matching envelope with the Envelope Punch Board. 

And a close up of the card. Love the Sweater Weather DSP, and the burlap ribbon too! 

Looking forward to next month!!! 

A September Thank you

Here is my thank you card for orders placed in September. It's Sale-a-bration DSP meets August's Paper Pumpkin kit! And I got to use my new tool the Envelope Punch Board to make the matching envelope!!

If you've placed an order you will find it in your bag or in the mail! 

Happy Stampin'!!

My Favourite Pinterest Cards

I love Pinterest!!! I find so many great cards there! Here are two of my favourites that I had to recreate!!

Original card by Amy O'Neill

Original card by Nicole Tugrul. 

I didn't have the ribbons that they used for their cards but I think the Coastal Cabana looks just as good. 

If you haven't, check Pinterest out, and you can find me there! Click on the follow me on Pinterest button on the right side. 

Catty CASE for Kristina

My co worker Kristina is leaving us to go back to school. So this Is the card we all signed. I love this stamp set (Happy Hour) but have hardly used it.

Once I saw this card in the new catalogue, I had to CASE it!! Cheers to you Kristina!!

August Thank You card

For my Thank you card this month I used the Chalk Talk bundle. This great stamp set has coordinating framelit dies. 

I used Melon Mambo, Basic grey, and Whisper White. Also used melon mambo emboss powder and a rhinestone. The Fancy fan emboss folder was just what I needed for the background! Love that folder!!!

With an order this month you will receive this little card too!

Happy Stampin'!!!

Summer catch up

This is a case from the past Occasions catalogue. I used the splatter stamp from My Paper Pumpkin kit again! Love the Oh  Hello stamp set too!

Speaking of Paper Pumpkin, here is Junes kit.  Cute card! Love the die cut card with the pieces already punched out then add the little stickers and stamp your greeting and you're done!

My thank you cards for July's orders. Using one of my favourite stamp sets Six Sided Sampler and matching punch. And  yes those are the new in colors; Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush. 

Hope your enjoying your summer so far!

Kaiya's Cinderella birthday card and a share from Makenna

My daughters friend Kaiya had her birthday this weekend. She loves Cinderella, so I had to come up with something princess like. I used the dress form framelits die to create this card. It's the same easel card made for Mother's Day in Stampin' Club. I used the silver glimmer paper for the dress and daubed island indigo re inker on it. I then used some scrap tulle and hot glued it on to the sides of the dress and the arms. I had some left over retired bashful blue satin ribbon for the sash. Added a rhinestone necklace to finish it. The base of the card is marina mist. 

Makenna (whom is 12 years old) sent me a picture of the card she made for her friends birthday this weekend. She made good use of the new in colors. They coordinate so well! Great job Makennna! I'm sure your friend loved it much as I do!! 

Mom's Birthday Card

With inspiration from the new catalogue I was able to create this card for my mom's birthday. I use the mosaic madness stamp set And mosaic punch. I use the pop'n cuts card-base die and the new label pop'n cuts die. The colors I used are Strawberry slush, Old Olive, And daffodil delight. 

April & May Projects

We made this card in May's Stampin Club it is a CASE of Connie Tumm.

Using the set By The Tide. It is currently in the Spring catalogue, but it carries over into the new Catalogue. I added the "Dad" for fathers day.

 This was a fun card to make! Again it was a CASE of Julie Gearinger.

We had to blow through a straw to move the ink around on the glossy cardstock.

We made the next cards in April's Club class.

I loved the Dress Form framelits in the Spring catalogue. 

We used scraps of Tea for Two DSP to create the dress form and dies the flower trim rose.

And an Easter treat bag. We used the cloudy day folder and some of the Sale-a-bration ribbon.

www.inkdays.blogspot.ca

We also made this card using Sale-a-bration paper, ribbon, buttons, and emboss folder.

We did the chalk board technique on this card too!

This card is a case from Kimberly Van Diepen. Of course I changed it up a little.

We used one of my new favorite stamp sets You're Amazing.

My Son went to a Birthday party this month and I had to make an Angry Birds Card for him.

I love how it turned out, I cased it from SewingStamper06 on Splitcoast Stampers.

I love how it turned out!
