Teachers gifts!

Vanessa graduated from preschool and I wanted to make something special for her teachers. I found a great tutorial on Pinterest of course!! Here is the link: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/07/17/how-to-make-a-simple-reversible-totebag/

They are reversible, but I prefer the pop of color in the inside! The cherry cobbler and daffodil delight fabric is Stampin Up! ( now retired) 

The key lanyards I have made in the past but never with a ruffled trim. That was fun to do and I think they turned out cute!! 

I'm sure they will be put to great use by two busy teachers! Thanks for 2 great years!! 

Birthday cards

My daughter had two birthdays in one weekend to attend. Both with different themes. The first was a Hello Kitty party so I searched the internet for the perfect easy card (as again I waited till the last minute to make the card!!)

She turned out so cute!! This was a CASE of stamp with Tami here us the link to her card:

The next party was a Frozen Party. Let me tell you, you can't find Frozen merchandise anywhere here!! 

I found Olaf on Suitably Stamped here is the link to make here card: http://disneysuitsme.blogspot.ca/2013/11/olaf-is-in-house.html?m=1

He was fun to make. My only regret is I didn't make more as I'm sure there will be more Frozen parties to come!! 

Playing catch up!!

The last few months have been busy! We moved at the end of April after 13 years in our house. Our house sold in a few weeks, thanks to my brother. And we had a little over a month to pack and move to our new house. Our new house is perfect for us! I'm still unpacking and my craft room is a mess! (I have a lot of stuff!!!) 

I had my stamping ladies come in June for our last club meeting. We made 3 cards using new in colors and new stamps. I got some great ideas from Pinterest since I was short on time. 

Here is what we made: 

As you can see I had a whole polka dot and chevron theme going on! Love how they turned out! 

Now I've got the summer off to organize! 

And play around with my new stuff! 

Hope you enjoy your summer! 

Birthday Banner Card

I used the largest banner framelits to create this card. With the Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet DSP and the decorative dots folder on the envelope (also a Sale-a-bration item). I love the pool party emboss powder and it is perfect for this stamp set. Starburst Sayings is my new favorite stamp set. Love that it has matching framelits! You can find these in the Celebrate the everything catalogue available till June 1. Happy stampin'!!

March stampin club projects

This month we focussed on the scallop tag topper punch. So much more then just a tag punch! Here is the card I came up with. I used water color paper for the tag. And look you can emboss the gold foil paper (love that sale-a-bration decorative dots folder!)

Our second card was a case on Pinterest  of Kylie Bertucci only I used the tag punch to create the tag layer. The white layer is from the caulk talk framelits. 

And finally we used the scallop tag punch to creat this card. This card is also a case from Pinterest by inkypinkies. Really fun to create this card and love the sweet sorbet DSP from Sale-a-bration. 

Hope you loved Sale-a-bration as much as I did this year only a few more days to earn free product!

Kiara's Birthday Card

My niece Kiara is now a teen! Here is the card I made for her. Using the Fresh Prints DSP, and the Banners Framelits dies. 

February's Club projects

Love is in the air! Yes my love for this new Fresh Prints DSP!! Love it!! The first card is a sun burst technique. The rose is made using the spiral flower die. 

Had to make this little envelope with the envelope punch board. It took me a few tries to get the size I wanted. The paper measures 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 and your first score is 1-3/4 in the envelope punch board. It will get you the perfect size to place your love note in! (Love note white is 1-3/4 x 2-7/8. Red is 1-7/8 x 3 )

Love the sale-a-bration decorative dots emboss folder too!

Hope you have a fabulous February!!
