Great gift idea

Hey Stampers,

So tonight is the night that I get to meet my niece and I am just so excited. With the H1N1 flu the hospital is only allowing 2 family members in the building at a time visiting. My brother called to say that he would be at home for a couple hours so that I could go up and see them.

Here is a little day planner that I decorated using my new stamp set Friends 24-7. Using some old DSP but I like the way it turned out. Unfortunately the quality of the picture isn't that good. I've made up a couple others that I hope to share with you in the coming days. These make really nice gifts for the person you don't know what to get or even a little stocking stuffer.

Thanks for checking in!!!

Another gift card holder

Good morning Stampers,

First I want to start with the exciting news I received this morning. My sister-in-law will be delivering her baby sometime today. Her water broke last night, I'm just hoping that it's not too long for her. She's having a girl and I am just so excited to meet her.

On to the project, you've seen this gift card holder in an earlier post but I thought I would try something a little different this time. I put the to and from on the outside and a holiday message on the inside...sorry I didn't take a picture of that, wasn't thinking this morning. I just got this stamp set a couple weeks ago and just love the way it looks on this.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for checking in! Have a great day.

Scandinavian Season

Happy Monday! A start to another week. This is a retired stamp set from last year. I didn't get to use it too much at the time so I wanted to get some use in this year. It is a little hard to see in this picture but there are 3 layers to the tree. There was a lot of cutting involved.

Inspiration for this card came from here. I stamped this first with versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder, I had to do this 3 times per card I wanted to make. It was a little more time consuming then I was hoping for.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow with another card using the same stamp set.

Stamp Set: Scandinavian Season, Fundamental Phrases
Ink: Versamark, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Baja Breeze, Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Ski Slope DSP, Whisper White

I could hardly wait for mine to come in when I ordered them, I had bought some paste to start using with them and when I had both I started using them on anything and everything I could find. I saw this card and had to make it. I just love how simple it is but elegant at the same time.

It's Friday, the beginning of the weekend. I have lots of crafting to do. My aunt and mom's craft show is next Saturday so I'm taking the weekend to do some extra crafts.

I really loved this card when I first saw it here. You can't really tell in the picture but it has a 3D effect on it.

Dasher

Hey Stampers,

I told you I would be back! I got this idea from Corinne aka Roxy (blog on the right). She is definitely a fun lady, you should check out her blog. At the time I didn't have the stamp set she used so I finally used my Dasher stamp. This is such a cute stamp and it hardly costs a thing. This is a gift card holder cut out using the top note die from the big shot.

Hope you like it and thanks for checking in.

Paper: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Accessories: Top Note Die, Scallop Circle Die, Jumbo eyelets in pewter, Chocolate Chip striped ribbon, linen thread

How long has it been?

Good Evening Stampers,

Wow it has been a while. This is such a busy time of year for everyone and I am not exception. There are 3 birthdays in November for our family, one in November, a new baby on the way (not mine), craft shows and then finally Christmas. Phew, I'm spinning just writing all those things. I have been working hard in my craft room but just haven't been able to find the time to share these things with you. I've decided that tonight I am going to start. I've made a lot of fun cards the last couple of months and none of them are my own creation, I've cased them from fellow demonstartors. I'm just so inspired when I blog surf the many wonderful blogs of fellow demonstartors....there are a lot of talented and creastive people out there.

The quality of this picture is not the best but it's because they are put in clear envelopes for packaging. I really love the Holiday Lineup stamp set. I saw this card here, and changed it up a little and used So Saffron instead of gold paper. Hope you enjoy and I'll be back tomorrow with more.

Thanks for stopping by!
