Today I thought I'd share some little 3"x3" cards I made recently.  These are so handy to have to attach to a package or plate of cookies.  You can use them as a gift tag or you can place them inside an envelope with a message inside. Both cards are made with Very Vanilla cardstock, Jolly Holiday DSP and Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  Simple and easy! This piece of DSP is actually the back of the piece I used on the other card!  What cute little little cards these make and it only takes a couple minutes to make them! Thank you for taking the time to stop by today!  I'm sure life is Continue reading

A few of us have agreed that this card reminds us very much of Cordial Cherries.  Between the names of the colors and the colors themselves . . . yummy! The card was made with the Sparkle & Shine jumbo wheel, Tags til Christmas stamp set, ornament punch and Northern Flurry embossing folder. Thank you for stopping by today! Continue reading

I'm excited to share this card with you.  I demonstrated this at a party last week and we made it as the make n take at the Mystery Hostess event yesterday.  It's so pretty, thank you to whoever out there shared an idea to inspire me to make this card!  The stamp set is the Peaceful Season level 2 hostess set found in the mini catalog.  We used the Basic Black striped grosgrain ribbon, a Cherry Cobbler button from the Regals collection and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing powder. You may not be able to see in the picture but the card is Always Artichoke with a layer of Basic Black and then the Continue reading

I'm excited about this card we made at the Christmas Card Class last night.  It's not the traditional Christmas colors and it makes for a nice variety when I've been making so many different Christmas cards!  The idea of this card is not my original idea.  I like to create my own cards but sometimes I see a card made by someone else and I just have to use the idea and change it up a bit. Oh the fun we have in Christmas Card Classes!  Would you believe there is only one Christmas Card class left on the schedule?  Wow!  Time has gone quickly!  There are still spaces available in the last Continue reading

Today I have two handmade Christmas cards to share with you that are very much alike in style but yet they are different.  It's always fun to see how you can use ideas in multiple ways so I thought you would enjoy seeing these cards together. This is the card I made with the ladies who attended Georgie's party last Saturday.  Isn't it so cute?  I'm not sure if you can tell, but there are two rhinestones placed in the antlers adding a little bit of special bling.  It's so pretty in real life!  The colors and bling give Dasher such a free and lighthearted feel, almost wispy or dreamy.  Does Continue reading

Several of you have asked me if I know what cards we will be making at the Christmas Card class on Thursday.  Every single one of you was answered with "I have no idea!"  Well, finally I have some idea.  I know we will be making this card!  It's it lovely? I got the original idea from another stamper and then changed it up some to work for us.  I hope you like it!  I look forward to making it with you! If you are not attending the Christmas Card class on Thursday evening I am going to extend registration up until noon today.  We still have several spots open so I want to give you the Continue reading

Yesterday I took a few minutes to sit down and just create for fun.  I wasn't creating specifically for a class (well, maybe a little . . . ) or to show certain materials or to fulfill requirements.  I was just plain having fun! I had to put that little clause in there because I used a technique I'll be teaching in Tech Club tonight so I'm sure to show the ladies this example (but that's not really why I made it.) I wish this picture did more justice to the card, it's so pretty!  I used cardstock in Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso along with a Garden Green button, Basic Continue reading

Today's card is extremely simple.  I based it on one of our Special Christmas Wrapping projects.  So, I guess you could look at it as a little bit of a sneak peek. I am working  on preparations for the upcoming Christmas Card class.  Do you realize we will be making over 190 cards next Tuesday in less than 2 hours?  Needless to say, I'm going for some easy cards!  I'm not sure if this card will be one of them but it might be.  We shall see! Be sure to check out the invitation below.  I'm holding a Mystery Hostess event.  It's going to be so fun!  If you have questions or you want to attend Continue reading
