Thanksgiving 2012

 These photos are of a One Sheet Wonder Box (please go to http://alwaysstampinblogspot.com for the directions and a wonderful video) I made for my niece, Jordan Jean, for Thanksgiving with a bit of a Halloween twist.  I used Orange Bazzill 12" x 12" cardstock for the base and then embellished the sides with paper from Little Yellow Bicycle - Booville 5 x 7 Paper Tablet...added Halloween Deco Brads from Karen Foster Design and ribbon from Michaels.  Of course Jordan is a little scrapbooker like her Auntie so I filled the box with a small photo album with items for her to use to embellish the pages.

These are Thanksgiving Cards I made using variations of the same theme....Used DSP from the Booville Paper Tablet, the tree and leaves stamps are from Inkadinkado (Fall Season), the pumpkin stamp is from Stampin' Up, inks are from Stampin' Up, punches from Stampin' Up, cardstock is Recollection (Spice Market) from Michaels and the embellishments and ribbon are random items from my stockpile. Did I ever tell you I LOVE buttons....bling...ribbon....LOL.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!  Drop me a note sometime... :o) Blessings on ya!!!

Kreations Klub - September, 2012

 This is the Twisted Card we made today at Kreations Klub.  Makes a pocket card for a gift card of gift of money...note, etc.  Looks intimidating, but Ruthie had all the DSP cut out for us already so we saved time.  Love the Christmas Paper from Stampin' Up called Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack...all double-sided papers in a 4.5' x 6.5' stack.

Love this card made with the Baja Blue coloured Ribbon...used the new Delicate Designs Folders Embosslits folder from Stampin' Up along the edge, the stamped images are from the new Bootiful Occasions Stamp Set from Stampin' Up which was stamped on white cardstock which was punched with one of the tags from the Two Tags Bigz Die Cuts.  The image was then matted with a piece of DSP from the Festival of Prints DSP Paper Stack.  

This background image was embossed on the new embossing paper from SU, added the Delicate Designs Folder Embosslits and sanded with the SU sanding block.  Added a flower, Sentiment, ribbon and topped with a pearl.

This card has a vintage feel with lovely articles all from Stampin' Up.  Love these colours together... :o)

Kreations Klub - August 2012

These are the cards we made at Kreations Klub yesterday.  Love these cards and will definitely make them again. Most all supplies are from Stampin' Up with bling added.  We had so much fun getting together...seems like a couple of months is way to long to go between making cards with our Klub.  :o)

Engagement/Kreations Klub Tic Tac Toe Card

This is a card I made with two events in mind.  One was the engagement of a lovely couple and very dear friends and the other was for our Kreations Klub Challenge this month.  Ruthie (our esteemed leader) sent us   a challenge for this months' Klub which meets later today.  She sent us a Tic Tac Toe board with different ideas for embellishments, colours, etc. on a project...could be a card, scrapbook page, 3D layout, etc.  The three items I chose to incorporate into my card were flowers, punches and ribbon.  Of course, I had to add a little bling with pearls and a pearl stick-pin in the ribbon.  There is also a glitter brad in the center of the flower.  The flower was made with Making Memories flowers, the oval punches are from SU and ? (edge punch), the pearls and stick-pin are from Making Memories, the ribbon is from Berwick Specialty Ribbon, the DSP is random paper I had on hand, the cardstock is Ivory Confetti from SU and the sentiment stamp is from  Inkadinkado.  I love using black and ivory/white on a card....so chic!!  Blessings!!

Butterflies and Bumblebees

It is possible to live together peaceably.... :o)

Paper Crafting Class with Coralie

Went to a Paper Crafting Class with Coralie on Friday night. Lots of laughs and fun.  It is so great to get out with people of like-minds to do something we love to do.  The first project we made was these two little boxes which were just too cute.  All the supplies are Stampin' Up with the exception of the ribbon.  A fun part of this project was heat embossing the watermelon and ice-cream cone with Watermelon scented embossing powder!!  I love it!!!  Lot of fun!!!

These cards were made from a project which was a scrapbook page for everyone else in the class.  I don't do alot of scrapbooking, so I decided to make three pretty basic cards with some added embellishments I had in my goodie bag.  

 
The next cards were lots of fun to make.   I like the tri-fold cards and the punched flower is too cute!!

 For this card we stamped our own background paper and then cut the page.  I added a two-finger bow with a little bling.

Thanks Coralie...had a great time!!
