Fathers Day Card

I made this card for a practice, the card swap I'm in this month we have to turn in a male Birthday card or a Fathers day Card.. I'm not sure I like it enough for the swap though.. I'll have to try something else before I decide. Masculine cards are a tough one .. for me anyways.

Sandwich Baggy Purse Tutorial

Take a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock and a fold top sandwich baggy, Score the piece of cardstock at 3 1/2 inches and 5 inches, Take the top of the baggy and fold it towards the back so it's even at the top of the opening. Place adhesive on the top of the cardstock and place the baggy on the adhesive like shown in above picture.

Fold the scored area.

Put adhesive on the top of the inner and outter part of the cardstock then take the baggy and open it to the other side of the cardstock folding the baggy over the outside of the cardstock.

Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 8 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches

Stamp them and score them at 3.1 and 5 inches.

Attach them to the top part of the purse with your adhesive covering the folded baggy.

Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 1 2 1/2 x 2 inches the other 1 1/2 x 1 inch and stamp them or decorate however you'd like.

Place the 2 1/2 x 2 inch cardstock over the over lapping cardstock on each side of the purse.

Here's how both sides should look so far.. almost finished..

Take a 9 inch piece of ribbon attaching each side to the outter part of the bag with brads. leaving about a 1/4 inch or so hanging down from the brad.

2 Cards today How lucky am I?!

I used perfect plum, very vanilla, chocolate chip, creamy caramel cardstock, ivoryribbon, clear embossing powder, Delight in Life Stamp set and happy harmony stamp set, brads. For the little holes I used a thumb tact pen thingy .. Which also works well to insert a brad, if you dont have any of the other tools

My mom is going to her friends daughters baby shower sunday so she asked me to make her a card. I used bashful blue, confetti white and chocolate chip cardstock. Bordering Blue ink, Baby Talk stamp set, Stampin' Around Sweet Feet, Stampin' Around Baby Time.

Pen and Pencil Holder

I'm so tired of pens and pencils being thrown on my computer table and then when I go to look for one I cannot find one. Soooo I made this. I used the SplitCoastStampers guide on the one sheet box I think I messed up how they do it but I made something out of it though lol. Here it is.

Today I recieved the best email I got my Stampin Up Demo login SO.. I'm officially a Stampin Up! Demonstrator YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Baby Card

My Neighbor accross the street just had a baby last Friday I believe, I dont really know her too well but I decided to make her a card. I used Pixie Pink and Confetti White Cardstock. I took the confetti white card stock and used the the words back ground stamp from Baby Talk Stampin Up Stamp set, and I stamped it in Versamark then embossed it with the clear embossing powder. Then I took Perfect Plum ink and sponged it in a circular motion, then I added some Rose Red ink to sponge and went back over it. I stamped the strip in the baby accessories and rubbed the entire strip of pixie pink cardstock on the versamark pad and then embossed itwith clear embossing powder. I ripped the edges and then attached the strip to the plain confetti white cardstock. Simple huh?!

Delight in Life Gift Set

The baby Finally fell asleep longer than 20 min so I got a chance to get her gift done. Here it is ..This is for someone who really isnt into Stampin Up! Yet.... LOL Maybe this will do the trick. Anyways I really hope she likes it!

Delight in Life Folder

Here's a Folder I made for my friend, Todays her Birthday! I'm made her this folder and I still want to make her a Birthday Card, matching pen and candle, My daughter is super fussy right now and I cant finish it all. *Sigh* kids..

Swap cards came!

This is the first swap I'm apart of and I love it! I love to have a reason to stamp. This one was an Anniversary card or Easter card. They are all so beautiful! All the ladies did such a fabulous job. Next Months is Female Birthday or Mothersday card. I cant wait to get those ones!

Paint can project!

My mom is repainting her room and she has finally emptied out a paint can I really want to turn it into something but what I've gotten some cute ideas from SCS gallery, I'm just not sure if I want to make something for me to keep or make a future gift. My 2 month old has been so fussy so I havent been able to stamp seems like everytime I get out all my stuff it's time to put it away cause it's time to feed her, then dinner or something. But anywho.. all suggestions welcome for my paint can project. oh also tips on cleaning the paint can LOL.

So excited!

On Friday I will be sending out my stampin up starter kit form I'm just so excited about it. I cant wait to be a demonstrator and order my own stuff!

I should be recieving the cards today from the card swap I'm in and I'm very excited about that too! It's just such an exciting week!
