iPod Gift Card Holder

My mom is giving my oldest daughter a couple iTunes gift cards for Christmas this year so I made this iPod gift card holder for her to give it in.  I thought it turned out cute.

Serene Snowflake Cards

I've been working on a bunch of things over the past week and I'm finally getting around to posting them.  These two cards were both made using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set from the Holiday Mini.  I used Very Vanilla card stock as the base for both cards.  Then on a piece of Kraft card stock, I stamped the different snowflakes at random using Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue and Whisper White inks.

On the first card I used the Ornament punch and stamped on it one of the snowflakes first in Not Quite Navy, then again in Whisper White to give it a shadow effect.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

On the second card I added some Not Quite Navy ribbon, tied with some thread and added a 1/2" Circle punch stamped with a snowflake and embellished with a Rhinestone Brad.  The Ornament punch on this card is stamped with a sentiment from the Holiday Best level 1 hostess stamp set.

I really love the Ornament stamp and have used it for many of my projects of late.  This will become even more apparent in my posts over the next several days.

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

"The More The Merrier" Shaker Card

This is a cute little shaker card filled with tinsel glitter that, when shaken, looks like snowflakes falling all around the snowmen.  It is an easy and fun technique to add to your cards or gift boxes.  I used "The More the Merrier" (115322) hostess level 3 stamp set on this card with some Ruby Red card stock and polka-dot paper as a backdrop.  Click on the tutorial below to see how to make your own shaker cards.

Cute as a Bug...Thanks

Today I've got a thank you card made with the Love Bug (115233) level 1 hostess stamp set.  I used Gable Green, Pink Passion, Bashful Blue and Whisper White card stock.  I used the Crimper (101618) on the Pink Passion card stock to give it some texture and a dimensional to pop up the little bug.

Holiday Wishes 2 Ways

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.  We made the best of it despite the cold and rain.  The kids didn't seem to mind it as much as the adults did.  We were freezing and we left our umbrellas back at the house when we thought the rain had stopped.  It was really more of a mist and drizzle mix, but after being in it for an hour, our hair was dripping wet by the time we got home....brrrrr.

Both cards below were made using the Holiday Collection stamp set.  The first one also uses the Delightful Decorations stamp set with the Ornament punch.  Hope you like them....

Thanksgiving Cards

I've been stuck in the house for a few days as my daughter had some virus that kept her running a low fever over the weekend.  Fortunately none of the rest of us got it, so that was a relief.  The kids are ready for Halloween this Saturday so hopefully the weather will hold out for them.

I've been working on a few cards lately.  The two I'm posting today are Thanksgiving themed.  The first card I actually made in a class a couple months ago.  It uses the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper (115668) and the Autumn Days stamp set (115452) along with Soft Suede and Ruby Red card stock.  The sentiment is stamped with the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (115370).

The next card was made using Very Vanilla as the base with Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie accents.  The sentiment is from the Level 1 Hostess stamp set, Holiday Best (115364).

 

And of course I have to include a picture of the birthday boy.

Spongebob Squarepants

I walked into my kid's playroom the other night and saw a printout on the floor with a picture of Spongebob on it and I just had to make him.  I think I'm going to use him to adorn the front of my son's 7th birthday card next week.  I used basic black, yoyo yellow, real red, whisper white and close to cocoa card stock.  I've created a punch guide for him that you can download.

Have a great day....

Get Well Wishes

Hooray for Friday!  I love Friday's and so do my kids.  Fridays have officially been dubbed "party nights" at our house...we stay up late, watch movies and eat popcorn together.  But before all the partying begins I thought I'd post this card I made today.  It is for my grandma who unfortunately took a tumble and broke her wrist...ouch!  This card was made with one of the Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin' kits which are wonderful.  Everything you need is in one kit.  All the colors coordinate and there are tons of embellishments to choose from.  They are designed for making scrapbook pages, but I love them for all my projects because sometimes coordinating the colors is the hardest part for me.  Hope you like it....
