Christmas Gift Card Holder

I was playing around with my new Christmas DSP last weekend, and I remember this cute little gift card holder I made a while back.  I pulled out the old one to get the measurements and off I went.

The base of the holder is Always Artichoke.  It is layered with 3 different DSP patterns from the Deck the Halls pack in the Holiday Mini.  To keep the holder closed, I stamped the tree from Deer Friends and mounted it on a 1 3/8" circle and a scallop circle.  I embellished the tree with some of the itty bitty pearls.

On the inside, I wanted to add a greeting.  The greeting is from Four the Holidays and it is stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.

I hope you like today's creations.  My good friend Martha is coming over on Saturday to stamp, so I will try to have something to share then!

Don't forget about the GI Cancer fundraiser.  You can read all of the details in this post here.  E-mail me at [email protected] if you are interested in attending.

Have a great week!

Halloween Card

Last night after lying in bed for what seems like forever, I decided to get up and make a card.  With October almost here, I decided to make a Halloween card.  I pulled out my favourite (and only) halloween set, Love Letter DSP and off I went.  I was a little unsure about the Love Letter DSP when I first opened the package, but there are some REALLY fun black prints.

The base of my card is Basic Black.  It is layered with Crushed Concord.  I used my new spider web embossing folder to add some texture and detail to the card stock.  The next layer is Love Letter DSP mounted on Crushed Concord and Basic Black.  Before attaching this layer to my base, I embellished with 3 glitter brads and some Concord ribbon.

The image is stamped using Basic Black.  I punched this cute little spider out with my 1 1/4" punch and popped him up on a 1 3/8" punch and a scallop circle.

I hope you like the card for today!  I have a post set for Thursday, so check back then to see what I have created!

Clean and Simple Christmas

Here is my card for this weeks clean&simple sketch. I really liked the sketch this week and I was inspired to use some of my new Christmas goodies.

The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler.  It is layered with Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Jolly Holiday DSP.  I stamped the image in Old Olive and punched it out using the new SU! punch.  To add some bling I used some of the rhinstones.  I realise they do not look that straight in the photo...woops.

Hope you like the card!  Have a great day!

Artisan Blog Hop 3-D Project 2

Welcome to the second Artisan Award Winners blog hop.  Over the next few days, you will be able to see all of our winning creations.  You should be arriving here from  Angela Timms blog.  If you are starting the blog hop here, hop over to Heather Van Dukers blog to start from the beginning.  Each card and project took a lot of time to complete.  Due to this (and the fact that they are no longer my property), I will not be sharing instructions or dimensions of ANY projects.

This is my FAVOUTIRE project that I submitted for my Artisan entries!  It took me MANY, MANY, MANY hours to complete, and resulted in MANY hot glue burns to my fingers.

When I stared this project, it was going to be a bouquet of flowers, but I decided that was not original enough, so I thought why not a wedding cake.  I bough three different card foams from the Bulk Food stores and found this pattern for the flowers.  You can see the folded patter here. 

This cake has about 50 flowers folded using that pattern.  Each flower starts with 5 individually folded petals.  I loved the sparkle of our Sending Love DSP, so that was the paper I chose.  The glitter pieces were a little tricky to fold, but when I saw the cake with my display board, I knew it was worth the extra time it took to fold those pieces.

Here is a photo of the top of the cake.  The leave are the little are one pf the Big Shot dies.  I hope you have enjoyed looking at all of my projects.  Have a great weekend and check back next week for some Festive cards!  Now, hop on over to Becky Cowleys blog. 

Artisan Blog Hop 3-D Project 1

This was the last project I completed.  I had begun another 3-D project, and the day before I mailed everything in, I scrapped it, and came up with this.  This is a note card holder.  Inside it will hold 4-8 note cards in clear envelopes.  The DSP and colour palett all came from one of the retired Simply Scrappin Kits.  I found these kits VERY useful while completing all of my entries!

Here is one of the cards that were stored inside the holder.  Each card used a different greeting, but the stamps (Cheep Talk) and layout were all the same!

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for the last day of the blog hop!  I get to share my FAVOURITE project with you!  Now, hop on over to Becky Cowleys blog.

Here is the last of my scrapbook pages.  This has to be one of my favorite projects that I submitted.  I do not have any children (yet), so it is hard to find great pictures to scrapbook.  I have to admit, I do the idea to scrapbook pets from a scrapbooking magazine (I cannot remember which one).  I remember my sister had these great photos of her guinea pigs.   So, off I went.

This page uses Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White.  The letters are a combination of chipboard and card stock.  I had fun with this page!

Check back tomorrow for the first of my 3-D projects!  Now hop on over to Becky Cowleys blog!  Have a great day!

Whoops, I am totally late with my post today.  I had it set to pre-post, but it was set for 10:00PM, not AM.  Sorry.

This page was created using the same colour pallet as one of my cards.  I defiantly had a theme going.  For this page, I used Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo and Regal Rose.  I used DSP from the Love Sprinkles Simply Srappin Kit, Sending Love and Shades of Spring DSP.  The letters are chipboard and are covered with glitter.  I love this page!

Check back tomorrow for my second scrapbook page.  Now hop on over to Becky Cowleys blog!  Have a great day!

I am not much of a scrapbooker, so I have to say the scrapbook pages presented my with the biggest challenge.  To add to it, I do not have children of my own (yet...my first will arrive in November).  I am lucky to have great friends who let me use photos of their families.

For this page, I decided to go with a bright colour pallet.  I used Certainly Celery, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White.  The grass at the bottom of the page was  embossed using clean embossing powder and my heat gun.  I used some On Board letters, and embossed them with Whisper White craft ink and clear embossing powder.  To embellish I used some little butterflies and some rhinestones from ice brads.

Check back tomorrow for my second scrapbook page.  Now hop on over to Becky Cowleys blog!  Have a great day!
