Just for You

I created this card for a shoebox swap I was in at Leadership. It uses the large sizzlits die Doily die, Tea Shoppe stamp set and my favorite Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, Everyday Enchantment, which is free with your $50 order thru March.

 

12 Months of Dates

I saw an idea on Pinterest which led me to this blog for a Valentines Day gift for my hubby.  So here is what I came up with to house ideas for our 12 Months of Dates.

I sealed an envelope and cut about a 1/4" off the side and then punched1/2 a circle. They are stamped with the Elizabeth A La Carte stamp. I hand wrote the months on each. I used Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Markers and Designer Series Paper. The pull out is where I wrote what we will do for each date. There are some sites for dating ideas too! My husband liked the idea and I'm excited that we already have our February date on the calendar.

 

Here is the Valentines Day card I made. I did case this card but can't remember where I got it from. I need to be better at that!

 I hope you enjoy some love today!

Simply Masculine

I struggle with masculine cards but lets face it we need cards for the men in our lives and I'm not about to pay for it!

I try not to go overboard on the masculine cards, since the guys don't appreciate it like us women do.  I like how this card turned out and it's simple! 

The stamp set is Established Elements, it's a great stamp set for both feminine and masculine cards. I used our Well Worn designer series paper and use it on pretty much all of my masculine cards. It's just works so well. I've seen several cards using this patch work design and then cutting it out with the Top Note die.  I also added some texture with our Stripes embossing folder used on the Espresso card stock. Add a ribbon, I used some left over ribbon I had from the Holiday Mini and one of the glimmer brads and there you have it!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Cup of Thanks

Each month I get together to stamp with a group of fabulous demo friends!  January's theme was to use Stampin' Up! product from either the Occasions Mini or the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Here is the card I made. It's a case [copy and share everything] from a few different cards I've seen online.

I mounted the folded 4x8 Pool Party card stock onto the Calypso Coral scallop square, the scallop square is about 4-5/8" and was cut using the Big Shot.  I used the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Along with the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad pack also FREE from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. The stamp set, Tea Shoppe, is from the Occasions mini. The pretty scallop embossed edge on the bottom of the card was made using our new Adorning Accents Edgelits dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.
