Get Well

I made this card for a good friend's Mother-In-Law who is having surgery tomorrow.  Hope she likes it.

I used Very Vanilla and Basic Black cardstock for this card.  I like how it gives the card a nice finish, and I ADORE our new sizzix die which can be found in the new Occasions Mini which is now live!

Here is a close up of the new dies and how beautifully they layer up.  I can see myself making a ton of crads with these fabulous sizzix dies!

I look forward to reading what you think, please leave me a a comment.

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Star Quilt Card

I am loving this quilt card!  As you will see in a little bit, it's not my best work....ugh!!!!

Totally cool right?  You would think I figured out how to put this card together, nope!  I treid, just couldn't figure out how to get the pieces to fit right......so what do I do?  Well, ask Sheila O., one of my fabulous downline figured it out for me!!  Yahoo!  Thanks Sheila!

Shameful, but I am going to share my boo boos....see how yucky I made it connecting my card?  .....:-( boohoo!!  But, I did want to share a little "secret", at least for me...:-)  When you get ready to put this card together, use our fabulous "grid paper" to ensure proper placement!.  I either need new reading glasses, or should remember to wear my contact when putting my cards together.  But, had to share this lovely card, I am hoping Sheila and the other 2 girls who also made this card will forward me a pic of their card, as I completely forgot to take a picture before they left!

Stamp Set: NONE (waiting to use a greeting when needed)

Cardstock: Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, Everyday Enchantment DSP (coming in our new SAB Mini)

Accessories: Grid Paper (must have to make all your cards, Jumbo Brad from the Neutrals Pack, SNAIL adhesive.

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

 

             

 

Cards and Flowers

Hello my lovely ladies!

I wanted to share a couple of things with you.  You know how much I love my Stampin' Up ladies and usually have pictures of our cards, and good times.  You may have noticed I have been offline a bit over the last week. 

We had some sadness in our family.  My son and his beautiful wife (awesome daughter-in-law) were pregnant with our third grandchild, they currently have 2 beautiful boys, Ryan 3, and Colton 1 and are an extreme joy and blessing.

Well, you know I was excited a couple months ago when they told us a third little bit was on its way.  Unfortunately it was not meant to be.  We lost our little one last week and have been so sad. We have our "Faith in God" to help us through this rough time, and know we will see our little one when we are called to come home for eternity.

The company I work for has been so gracious to me and today I recieved these beautiful flowers.

So sweet of them to remember us during this time of loss.  We so appreciate these beautiful flowers, but more importantly that they thought of us during our time of need.

Thank you all who have prayed for our family, and I wish blessings on each and every one of you. 

Ob a happier note, a peer of mine at work is also going to be a "Grandpa" or the first time this December!  Her name is Caroline Elizabeth, beautiful name, right?

Here is a card I made for Rod and his wife (the grandparents) as I rejoiced in the news of their upcoming grandaughter.

Of course I had to use some Pretty In Pink Cardstock, and our new Embossing Folder.  Added some of our beautiful pearls at the bottom right corner.

I love our water color paper, even an amateur like me can make a decent card.  Sweeeeeet!!!

Let me end with something I pray you always remember me by:

"HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE"!!

Happy Card!!

Hello my lovelies!

I made this happy card for a very dear friend of mine, hope you like it!

I used the new Beyond the Garden DSP for the background, and used the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set for the Cherry Cobbler flowers.  I stamped on Whisper White Cardstock, cut the flowers out and then embossed into another piece of Whisper White Cardstock using the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

Had to add some beautiful butterflies and a bit of "bling bling".  I also used our Scalloped Ribbon Border punch on top of some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon (gosh I love that ribbon!!).

 

Here is a close up shot of the cut out flower and leaves from the same stamp set, using Pacific Point Classic Ink and Pear Pizzaz Ink on Pear Pizzaz Cardstock.......yes a little more "bling bling",

Here is another close up of the ribbon, punch, butterlfy and bling.......;-)

Come back soon, I'm playing with more goodies from the "new" catalog!  Don't have one?  Drop me an email or give me a jingle I will be happy to mail you a FREE copy, all you need to do is pay for shipping!  Toootles.

 

 

 

Another Sympathy card needed

I love making cards, even Sympathy cards, just don't like it when "I" have to use one.  A sweet friend of mine lost her grand-father recently and had sent her a card. however, didn't have her mom's email until recently, so here is the card I made for her momma.

I used our "new" hot off the press In Colors....I LOVE the Wisteria Wonder color!! 

Here is a close up.  I used all Stampin' Up products (that is all I EVER use....the best product out there.  And I only use the best for all the people I love!

Blessings,

 

 

 

Love this Sexy Card!!

Take a gander at this fabulous card my downline Jennifer made!  It's a WOWZER card!!!

Yup, she made it using the "Petal Cone Die" from Stampin' Up (of course, what else would we use, right?).....Don't you love it!  It definitely has WOW factor.  Wouldn't this be a great Bridal Shower invite?  I fell in love with it when she pulled it out of her bag.

Here is a close up of the card......eeeek Glimmer Brads, gorgeous, eeeek Rhinestones.....one of my favorite bling factors!  That red ribbon, is jaw dropping gorgeous!  Gheesh I am wore out just typing about it!

Thanks sweet Jennifer for sharing this fantabulous card!  Hope you love it as much as I do!

Blessings to all of you!

 

 

 

Yes, yet another Sympathy needed

You all know how I feel about Sympathy cards, loving making them, but NOT NEEDING them! 

Alas, a very dear friend of mine lost her mother all of sudden last Monday (I just heard about it, through FB, imagine that!)...anywho, here is the card I sent her yesterday.

 

 Yes, a Sympathy conveys a heartache for me, so I wanted this card to convey, my sorrow by know Melody's mom is in heaven rejoicing.....so hopefully it conveys that as well.

Here is a close up, I used our lucious new embossing powder, tangerine tango...gosh I love this stuff!!

 Thanks for stopping by and hope I won't need any more Sympathy cards for a while.

Blessings to all of you my friends!

 

 

 

Sympathy Card, love-hate thing

I love making cards, and know Sympathy cards are what I call "a necessary evil" so to speak.  This means someone has lost a loved one, this makes me sad..... :-(

Here is a card I made for one of my downline who lost her Grandfather last week.  Didn't want to post it until I thought it had arrived to her home.

I used one of my favorite stamp sets from the Spanish Catalog, "Celebrando Creatividad" called "Flores Suaves".

Used Crumb Cake as base, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock layers, and some bling bling with some lucious Stampin' Up Basic Black Satin Ribbon.....love it!

A close up of the bling and beautiful butterfly, gheez I love this set!

Until the next time, have a super blessed day!

 

 

 

Fun Mid-Week Class Time

Hello lovely ladies!

I wanted to share a few pics of my peeps creating this past week.  Ms. Fontainne did not make it at the last minute, but I have something saved for her as you will see below.

I made my girls a cute litte bag for them to take their handmade cards home in......they loved them!  I added their initials on each bag, A = Ali, F - Fontainne, M = Mary!

 
Here is a close up of Mary's bag.....sweeeeet!

Here is sweet Ali working on one of her cards.... :-)

Sweet Mary concentraing here.....

Love the Nature Walk butterfly Mary is coloring the butterfly in right here...

And here is Mary with one of the cards they made last night and her cute little bag I made for my gals!

That's it for today my peeps, will have pics of the cards on here tomorrow.

Blessings to all!!
