Happy St. Patricks Day!

Just a quick card before I leave for work.  This is a card that I did as a swap for my downline meeting and one of my clubs. 

I took inspiration from a few places and changed it up a little.

The colors used are Old Olive and Certainly Celery with my base being Crumb Cake.  DSP used is the Holly Jolly!  And I created my little shamrock with the small heart punch and used the Rhinestone jewels to put in the center.  And of course Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  If you don't  have it, get it, its a must have!

Have a safe day!

Crazy for Cupcakes Bag

So I totally CASED this little project from Angie Juda.  I changed up the colors but that's about it.
We did this bag at a birthday workshop for one of my good customers.  So easy and so stinking cute!

I used Pretty in Pink cardstock along with Early Espresso.  It would make a GREAT party favor bag for a birthday.

The inside bag is one of those little craft bags you can get at the craft store.  You'll want to trim off the top so cut it to 4 3/8".  Back piece is 5 3/4" x 3 5/8" and scored at 1 1/4".  This makes the flap come over the top.  The front piece is 4 1/2" x 3 5/8".  The piece with the cupcake stand is Shimmer White cardstock and measures 2"x3".  And I just went up a 1/4" for each piece it was layered with.  And that whole piece is velcro'd on to the front piece.

Tulip Frame

Good Morning Everyone!
Well its been a while since I posted and I apologize for that.  I just can never figure out where the time goes!

Just a quick post before I'm off to a birthday workshop.  We did this cute card at my workshops last month.  I saw a great tutorial on how to resize the Tulip Frame embossing folder and of course now I can't find the link.  But its super easy.  You just cut your paper to 4 1/8" x 4 1/8" and bring it through you Big Shot like normal.  Of course it would go all the way to the bottom.  But than once you've done the first run, you move your piece to the bottom of the folder where you cardstock hasn't been embossed.  It will kind of fit into your already embossed groves.  And just put it back through the Big Shot a little bit, like a turn or two and back it back out.  Super easy and really cute!

I used the stamp set Great Friend, Pink Pirouette and Basic Gray.  I would never think of using this together but the gal that did the tutorial did and they are just beautiful!!  Enjoy!

Regional Swap

I was inspired for this card by another card I saw on SCS.  I would never have thought to do white on white.  But I couldn't bring myself to just leave it, so I did sponge some Perfect Plum around the inside square. This is the card I swapped at the Minneapolis Regionals.  I used the Poppin Pastels technique and the NEW Framed Tulips embossing folder #121809 that you can find in the Occasions Mini.  The colors used were Perfect Plum and Certainly Celery.  And of course the stamp set is a Level One Hostess stamp set called Because I Care.  I have found MANY uses for it and love it.

If you are hostessing a workshop this month or coming to any of my workshops, this is one of the cards we will be making.  Hope you can come!

D is For Dog

I'm sure if you know us, you know we got puppies back in November.  So I've been a little obsessed with dogs.  I've had this stamp set forever and I haven't used it!  So I was wanting to use it but no inspiration was coming into the head!  So of course off I went to SCS to find someone who had that inspiration!  Well I found it and I copied this one to the last detail.  Usually I change things up, but I really liked what Qbee did, check it out here.  I must give credit where credit is due.  Maybe someday, I'll come up with my own idea!!

I used More Mustard for the dog and did a "shadowing technique" with him.  Where you just ink up your stamp once and keep stamping.  I love how it turned out like he's moving.  Early espresso is the frame and the blue is Pacific Point.  If you look closely his collar is also Pacific Point.  We also did this card in January's Technique University.  We have 6 months left, so there is still time to join!
