Morning Meadow Card

I love purple!
But for some reason I rarely use it for cards and scraping.
So today I made it my goal to create a purple card.
Using Elegant Eggplant (105126)
Rich Razzleberry (115316) I'm not sure if this is a purple, but it worked for me.
Naturals Ivory (101849), Crumb Cake(120953)
Morning Meadows Hostess Stamp set (129678)
and Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (130517)
I created this card for May's Class.....
 
 
Contact me to find out how to earn the Hostess Stamp set.
 
Can't wait to share it with my Stamping Friends.
Happy Stamping!
 
 


Just for Fun!

Spending time in my room today, while it once again snows.
Yuk!!
 
I wanted to try making a mini scrapbook using some
extra pockets and pages left over from previous projects.
I can't remember where I found the tutorial for the pocket pages.
But this post is more about using scraps, leftovers and UFO's (UnFinished objects)
Sooooo........
This project turned out to be a mod-podge.
I picked up a paper pack at a rummage sale,
 to create a beautiful scrapbook for a Christmas gift.
After creating the Christmas gift, I ended up with one, double sided pocket page.
Which I used in the center of my scrapbook.
I created two more pockets, using scrap papers, and added one to the front and back (inside) covers.
Also using scraps I created front and back covers.
Which gave me a four pocket mini scrapbook.
 
 
I love my Stampin Up stamps,
and find myself using them, regardless of the project I'm working on.
Using the Petite Petals Bundle (134822), the Flower Shop Bundle  (132726),
and Perfect Pennants stamp set (133227)
I created this cute cover.....
 
 
I liked the placement of the flowers so much,
so I dug in my scrap box and found an odd sized card (probably one I cut wrong)
And decided to make a matching card.

 
I couldn't stop there.
I decided this was such a cute design, that I created one for my stamping friends.
At May's class we will make this card, with the bright spring colors!!!!

 
I am having way too much fun with these stamps!
 
Happy Stamping!

Never-Ending Card

Everyone loves getting a Never-ending card!
Its so much fun to keep opening, and flipping through these cards.
 
My Grandson just had his 2nd Birthday.
I thought he would enjoy a fun card like this.
But I also wanted to make it bigger like a book. He loves books.
So here is my version of a 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch card, with a sweet Birthday wish.
 
 


 


 


 
My Grandson had no problems flipping this large card!
I'm glad he liked it.
 I did sign it before I gave it to him :)
 
Happy Stamping!!!

Altered Manila File Folder Mini book

I happened to be cruising YouTube, and found a
way to turn a manila file folder into a cute mini book.
I decided to give it a try.
I used retired Stampin Up DSP, and some of our newer stamps.
Day Dream Medallions (126467)
And a new set from the Sale-a-bration,
You're Lovely (133578)
 
Here is my version of the File Folder Mini!!!
 
 


 
 Decorating these is going to be fun.
Good thing I found a box of manila folders in my husbands desk.
Opps, Sorry Honey!!!! You weren't using them anyway.
 
If your looking for this, check out YouTube, search Altered Manila File Folder.
 
Happy Stamping!

Sale-A-Bration, Sweet Sorbet card

Today is Valentines day!
I hope everyone is feeling the love.
A great way to make someone feel the love is by making them a cute card and telling them how much they mean to you.
Here is a card that does just that...

You may choose that gift from the 2014 Sale-a-Bration mini catalog.
 
Using the new Sale-a-bration Free paper pack, Sweet Sorbet (133521)
And the Sale-a-bration stamp set See Ya Later (133536)
Such a pretty paper pack.
I love the soft colors with the Black accent.

Silver Glimmer paper (124005), Framed Tulips Embossing folder (121809)

I wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines Scraps

I try and try to use scraps, but my box of scraps grows faster than I can use them.
The last few weekends I have devoted to using paper scraps,
regardless of where the paper comes from, it all ends up here!
In This Box ......

All the large pieces, have been scored and creased into failed boxes, treat holders and envelopes.
I refuse to throw paper out.
My addiction to paper is worse than I ever imagined.
 
Anyway, here is a cute card idea to help you use a few scraps of paper from your
scrap collection.
 

 
I used the small heart die, from the Hearts Framelits (125599)
And the (now retired, but always my favorite) Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.
And lots of little scraps of paper to put behind the hearts.
Add Dementionals, and you have an easy card!
Stars would be nice for a Birthday card!!!!
The possibilities are endless.
 
Happy Stamping!
