Wedding Mosaic card

This gorgeous card uses the new mosaic embossing folder along with the matching Mosaic Madness stamp set. Very classic card using basic black and whisper white only. You could change it up just by switching out the colors. This card was inspired completely by another demo named K Beck. I am trying to get a link to her blog and will update this as soon as I get it.

Project Life update.

Project Life 

If you have been to my blog around the beginning of the year, you know I had intentions to do a Project Life album.  I don't know about you but I always have good intentions to do something (especially around the beginning of a new year) that don't always work out.  I took some pictures here and there but not regularly (with the exception of Disney and I have too many from that, lol) Anyway, here it is the beginning of April and I have not done ANYTHING with project life except upload some pictures from my phone to my computer. Notice I didn't say to be printed but at least they made it to my computer right?  Well that is about to change. With the introduction of Stampin' Up!'s This and That line, it made my renew my goal of completing a project life album this year.  At the moment I am not using all SU products, that may change when I see what all they have in the new IBC, but for now I am using a mixture of SU and a project life core kit. The kit I bought came with an album and it's cute but I prefer the crumb cake linen album I bought from SU for it so I am keeping it for this years album.  I am using the project life protectors as well as the SU divided page protectors because they give me some different layout options so I won't get bored with the same layout over and over.  And the new Rotary Stamp from Stampin' Up! will work wonderfully with this project!!!  The kit arrived in the mail yesterday and after the boys track meet I opened it and got busy uploading my photos to Walmart but that has been it so far.  The photos will get picked up this evening and I hope to show you all a cute layout or two by tomorrow evening! 

Friendship

This was one of our cards we made at my Sale-a-bration Celebration on Tuesday evening!

Very cute and quick card that went together very easily. Uses the great From My heart Stamp set, and some cute framelits and new papers from the Print Poetry designer papers stack in the Spring catalog. This card design came from a lady on a group I belong to called Sudsol. If you are a Stampin' Up! demo, I highly suggest you join this group! They are phenomenal at answering questions quickly and helping with business ideas. 

If you would like to attend a class check out my calendar on the right side of my blog for upcoming classes. An April schedule will be posted very soon. Also, I am going to be adding a Card Buffet to my line up. 

Altered New testament

I have been really busy this week and have not been great at updating my blog. Not only have I had two classes that I had to prepare for (cards from those will be on here this week!) I have been trying to get ready for a vendor fair/quarter auction this coming weekend.  I have really only done holiday craft shows before so they were mostly Christmas themed items and didn't really know what to make for a spring one. The first thing I had made was the altered jr legal pads , and then I made some of these covered new testament Bibles. I thought they would make cute Easter basket gifts. I used some new and some retired DSP on these, along with saying from the Trust God stamp set. 

Can you tell me what this is??

I thought this card was pretty obvious but when asking some family members only one got it right without me telling. So can you tell me what this is supposed to be???

I got the card idea from here, thought this video was pretty funny, lol

Altered Jr. legal pads

So months and months ago I purchased a large pack of jr legal pads at Sams club and had them taken to Staples and cut down some so that I could put them in Stampin' Up! dvd cases to make journals. I had plenty left over and saw this tutorial so thought I would cut it down to 7 inches instead of her 8 to fit my cut down pads.  Not sure what I want to put on the orange one yet and it does not use SU papers but some I had left in my stash pre demo days. The pink one does use SU paper and that great polka dot paper is from the paper pad in the spring mini catalog. I am loving the papers in that stack. Had to throw in another butterfly too, lol.  Does anyone know a cheaper place to buy the RSVP pens?  Staples if you buy them in a bulk pack still averages to .62 per pen and Dollar tree has a 2 pack for $1 so that's .50 each and the cheapest I have found but wondered if someone knew of a better deal than that. 

I also made a few of these with pictures of One Direction on the front for some teenage girls I know and they loved them. Maybe I should make some for the upcoming quarter auction.

Giveaway Drawing Results

Now the reason you are even looking at this blog today! You want to know who won the Sale a bration products!  There were not many entries for the drawing so everyone had a good chance. If you placed an order this month (online, paper pumpkin, workshop order or other), attended any class or event, made a comment on the blog post, liked my facebook page,  or emailed to tell me you tried and couldn't, then I put a ticket with your name on it into a can and then I let my little helper draw a ticket out this morning. 

THE WINNING TICKET WAS:

Julia C

I had a cute video of my little one drawing the ticket but I can not get it to upload. 

To those that did not win this one, make sure you check out the Treasure Hunt for your chance to win $150 in Stampin' Up! Products. 

Butterflies!

    This card is so simple yet so beautiful!   A few weeks ago I came across the most gorgeous simple looking card and knew I had to make it.  I ordered the butterfly punch from the spring catalog JUST to make this card.  The bad part is I saw the card but before I could save it the phone rang and when I came back my daughter was playing ABC mouse on my laptop so it never got saved. Not even a screen shot.  I remembered the card and have googled stampin up butterfly, stampin up butterflies, everything for the last few days and can not find it. Which makes me think it was on SC or something and I will have to check out the gallery further. It also showed me about 50 more cards I need to use the butterfly punches and dies on! 

     My card does not compare to the one I saw. She had beautiful stitching around the edges but I did not want to drag out my sewing machine. I also know that hers had monochromatic butterflies but couldn't remember if they went light to dark or dark to light. 
UPDATE:  I found the card! Apparently I pinned it to my pinterest board when I found it! So here is the link to the card

There were a couple more of these but I already mailed them off. Love the simple look of the white layer on the white and the butterflies. The stitching would have added to it but I am happy with how they turned out. I WILL be making many more of these! 

Oh Hello.

This will be a week of case'd cards.  I  have two classes, and a workshop coming up in the first week of March along with needing Auction donations and at least 20 birthday cards between now and the first of May so when I see a cute design I will be making multiples of each!

Many cards I find late at night while browsing the internet and the easiest way for me to go back through them without taking hours clicking back on blog links is to take a screen shot of the card and it saves it to my desktop where I can put it in the folder for that stamp set. The downside to that is if the photo does not have a watermark or something I can not save the info from where I got it. I try to go back if I use the card and find the picture again but sometimes I can not.

This was case'd from fellow Demo Sue Scheets, I changed very little to the card since it seemed perfect as she had it.

This card uses the Oh Hello stamp set from the Spring Mini (love this set think it is my favorite!)  Colors used are bashful blue, crumb cake and early espresso.  The sentiment is from the Trust God set in the large idea book and catalog.  Sorry about the glare on the picture. I have been putting all my cards in sleeves since I have been making them otherwise cute little tiny hands wants to play with them and they don't last long enough to mail.

Quilted Cards

I thought I had previously posted these but I can't find the post so I will post it now. I love these quilted cards. The tutorial and inspiration came from splitcoaststampers. They are a square card though and I don't always have an easy time mailing them out. If you chose to make cards like this to mail please be sure to put something on the end of the stick pins so that they do not poke anyone while being delivered.
