Sympathy Card

I made this card for a friend whose father passed away last week. Although I tried to add some ribbon, I decided to keep this card simple. I used brocade blue, so safron and always artichoke. I stamped my new En Francois background stamp with brocade blue and then used my watercolor crayons to color…

Birthday Invite

I can hardly believe my little baby is turning one! For her birthday party I wanted to make a special invitation. Since I painted her room certainly celery and decorated with lavender lace and lovely lilac accents, I used the Flowers for You dsp which has those colors and butterflies too! I added some glitter…

Makeup Tin

For our monthly challenge project, Dannie gave us these tins that are usually used to put nuggets in with the caveat that we couldn’t use it to put nuggets in! So I decided to make it a “On the Go Makeup Tin.” I punched some holes in the top with the crop-a-dile and used some…

Black, White & River Rock

Our swap theme for our last demonstrator meeting was black, white, and any color of our choice. I decided to use river rock since it is retiring soon (boo hoo). I used the It’s Beautiful Jumbo wheel for the background and stamped the flower from A Beautiful Thing in river rock. Then I used the…

Another Mother’s Day Card

I made this card for my wonderful mother-in-law. Her favorite colors are green and yellow so I used barely banana and sage shadow with the beautiful Always stamp set to create her card. I embossed the birdie and cut him out and placed him on the branch. For the inside I made a pop up…

Mother’s Day Card

Yep, this pink card is for my Mother. I don’t use a whole lot of pink (see why here), so this was a rare occasion for me to bust out the pretty in pink and regal rose cardstock and ribbon. I thought the Blossoms Abound would be a pretty set for a Mother’s Day card….

Berry Bliss Flap Card

As soon as I saw this tutorial, I knew that I wanted to try making a flap card! I decided to use my Berry Bliss paper and coordinating Boho Backgrounds and One of a Kind sets. I changed the dimensions of the card to 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. I started with close to cocoa…

Friendly Flowers Card

I love the new Friendly Flowers set! I just wish I had more time to play with it because I see so many possibilities and color combinations that I can do and use with this set! And you know how I love it when things coordinate, so I had to use the coordinating Lots of…

Candy Bar Wrap

I needed to make a quick thank you gift for a great friend that has been helping my pick up my oldest son from school, so I wrapped one of those huge Hershey’s candy bars in her favorite color from the Berry Bliss dsp and tied some chocolate chip grosgrain around the bar. Then I…
