Simple, but Beautiful Card

This card was made using the Poppin' Pastel Technique. It is simple but elegant and would make a great gift box of cards for anyone!

I love the NEW Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. It is double mounted, which is a little hard to get used to, but I'm catching on.

Unfortunately, I just got around to using the felt ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalog and Ijust LOVE IT, but now it is unavailable to purchase. I learned my lesson...use accessories right away so you can always stock up before it is too late.

VALENTINE GIFTS

My very talented friend Corey made these bracelets for my three sister in law's for Valentine's Day. She uses old pieces of jewlery and buttons to re-create something new and sparkly :-)

I used the Big Shot and envelope die to create the gift box and made a simple 3x3 card to place on top as the "cover". If you have not scene the new crocheted flowers from the Stampin' Up Spring/Summer catalog, they are gorgeous and a must to have!

Bekah's First Card!

This card was a big surprise in a package I received in the mail. It was sent from my friend Rebekah in TX. She is a crafty lady, but had not tried her hand at stamping, well I think she did an awesome job! She was able to use the BIG SHOT die cut, heat embossing gun and the all new TEXTURE TEMPLATES :-)

A box is not JUST a box...

For stamp club on Monday, our challenge was to make sure our project exchange has embellishments on it. Well, my husband received a box of chocolates and I knew what I wanted to re-create :-) Here is my "refurbished" chocolate box and the insert makes the perfect storage unit for "bling".

I had fun using my new die cut butterflies. I think I will be using them for a lot of things!

Ghiradelli Box

I found these on Splitcoaststampers and couldn't wait to try making them myself. How cute are these? They will hold four chocolate squares. These are for my boys' teachers and bus driver. I hope they like them...almost too cute to open!

Heart of a Friend

Look what I got in the mail today! It is from my very crafty friend Corey (See her blog to the right of my screen!...she is a NEW Scentsy consultant!). I just love the the banners that are made using the SU Big Shot :-) And the card is so very cute, as well. I just LOVE getting fun stuff like this in the mail. Makes for a very happy friend and when I look at it, I will think of her, all the way in sunny CA.

Valentine's Bag

I made this bag and card for the birthday ladies in my stamp club for their birthday exchange cards. I used various colors of re-inker and dropped it on a baby wipe. Then, used glossy cardstock to smear it into a tie-dye look. Quick and easy. The card was make using the Big Shot envelope die cut.

I Dig You!

I saw a variation of this Valentine treat on Splitcoaststampers and new I needed to make these for a few of our friends. I was unable to get small shovels, so these are larger than I would have liked, plus the color is not great, but I don't think kids are going to really care ;-)
