Three of Four cards from this Weekend's Card Class

Here is card number three we made this past weekend.  I found this on Pinterest by Stamp with Peggy and knew I had to make it!  Using the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack, we mounted this onto the Whisper White.  We added a touch of ribbon to transition the two papers.  We used the Flower Shop stamp set on this and stamped in Momento Black and Crumb Cake inks and punched out using the coordinating punch.

A simple but elegant "Happy Birthday" from another retired stamp set.  Add pearls to the center of each flower make this card pop.

When looking at Pinterest, and you don't have all the items they used, change it up and use what you have!  You've now seen two different cards that I have CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) and I didn't have all the supplies they used. 

That's the fun in using what you have--and the cards still look elegant.  

Happy Crafting!

Second of Four Cards for August Card Class

This is another quick card we are making with the new Cherry On Top paper stack.  I cased this one from my upline, Susie Wood.  

I used the retired Cloud embossing folder but the new Elegant Dots folder really looks nice (Susie's card had the Elegant Dots).   We will be using the new Triple Banner Punch, Scallop Circle Punch and one of our circle punches.  The stamp set we're using on this card is Butterfly Basics.  

Happy Crafting,

August Cards

For the next four days, I'll be providing more information about the cards we will be making today and tomorrow.  

This first card is very simple, but elegant.

Using the Confetti Star Border punch, I punched top and bottom so the beautiful Mint Macaron card stock shows through.  I then stamped one of the flowers from the Flower Shop stamp set and punched out with the coordinating punch.  I used a 1/2 inch circle punch for the center.  Adding a little "celebrate" and some Mint Macaron lace ribbon and we're done!

Off stamping a flower on the inside and we're ready to decorate the envelope!  Can't wait to see everyone's variety of my creation!

Happy Crafting,

Cardinals Anyone?

Here is a card I made a while back for a dear cousin of ours.  I couldn't find the photo to show sooner.  Since I had lost everything on my computer recently, I thought this was lost forever.  So happy I found it so I could share with everyone.  

Although it wasn't for a happy occasion, the words can be changed to something HAPPY!

I used the Bird Builder punch for most of the Cardinal and the berries are punched from the Owl Builder punch.  A little sponging on the wings of the Cardinal make it pop.  

Happy Crafting!

Recent Card I made

Here is a card I made but couldn't share until the recipient, my daughter, received it.  She and her significant other bought their first home and I wanted something to signify them moving in.  They planned it so they had a month to move from one town to another close by.  What do you think?  Did I capture the move?

I used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set to create the trees and the coordinating punch to create the clouds.  The home is from a retired set that I fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals.  I used the small oval punch to cut out balloons and then used the Owl Builder punch to create the bottoms of the balloons.  Add a little twine, and wella!  I love it and so did she!

Happy Crafting!
