March Hostess Project

The Milk Carton box is a project I picked out for March's Hostess club. I thought it would be fun and also a cute way to make something for Easter, instead of the everyday Easter basket. You could easily put chocolates inside and give it to someone special. I used the new roller from Stampin' Up, Very Vintage and inked it with Soft Suede. I inked the edges with Close to Cocoa and added the circle flower. I like that it is simple but very cute.
The card below is for a Party that is coming up soon. I used the Vintage Vogue stamp set from Stampin' Up. The cardstock is Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Kraft, and Whisper White. I also added lace. The card I saw actually made the lace from paper but I choose to use real lace. This card was really simple, it took me five minutes to make, I love easy cards. So I thought I would do this for the party because it was so easy to make.

Cards for Card exchange

This is a "congrats" card for a card exchange I am involved in. I used the square template for the cuttle bug and inked it with not quiet navy. I used the All About U stamp set, the U is stamped in Summer Sun and then I embossed it with clear embossing powder.

This card was for the Easter exchange. I normally don't send out Easter cards, but saw this cute Lamb idea on Split Coast Stampers and decided to give it a try. I used the scalloped circle punch for the body, the 1" circle punch for the head, the hair is a flower from a Cricut cartridge and the ears and feet are from flower petals from a Cricut cartridge. It was a little time consuming to make but after I figured it out, it does not take to long to make.

Thank You card for Stampin' Up Party

This will be the card for February's Stampin' Up hostess party. It's a really easy fun card to make. From start to finish it took me about 10 minutes to make.

Supplies needed:
Kraft, Crushed Curry, & Whisper White cardstock
Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, & Chocolate Chip Ink pads
Small Pieces & For All You Do stamp sets
Whisper White 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon
Paper crimper
Scalloped Edge punch from Sale-A-Bration catalog 2010

I loved making this card and it was fun and easy.

Birthday Cards

This Birthday Card is made with Pick a Petal stamp set and Cottage Wall designer paper series.

This birthday card is made with the Medallion Stamp, "Happy Birthday" comes from the Block Party stamp set and the green and yellow ribbon is from Stampin' Up, the brown ribbon is from a craft store.

Here's the ribbon flower I made. The lady bug is made from Pick a Petal stamp set (the wings are a petal), two circles; the larger circle is the 1 3/8" punch and the smaller circle is 3/4" punch. I just hand cut the antenna's. I like the simple design and it was a lot of fun to make.

3x3 Boxes & Note cards

These are the cards that go in one of the boxes. I used coordinating paper for the cards and box. I used Rainbow Sherbet for these cards. I love the blue, green, and orange combo.

For the other set of cards I used the Fall Flowers designers series paper.

This is the box and cards together.

Again, the box and cards together.

The boxes with cards are my "thank you" to the hostess of the Stampin' Up parties.

The paper and stamps used are from Stampin' Up.

Each card is 3x3 and the box measures about 3.5 x 2.25, I got the template from Splitcoaststampers.com.

Splitcoaststampers web page is a great resource for Stampin' Up demonstrators or anyone interested in stamping and paper crafts. The web page has great ideas and techniques.

I decided to use different colors and go with a nontraditional look. I love the color scheme.

October's Stampin' Up project

Thanks to Giddy Greetings Quilling, I got this cute Mummy Card idea. I thought this would be a fast, fun little card to make for Halloween. I put my together in about 10 or 15 minutes, after getting everything rounded up. I added the scalloped tag to give the card a little something extra and I also added more ink to the strips of paper to give them an aged effect, I was going for old bandage look.

Items needed for this card:

White card stock

Black paper

Orange paper

Brown or Carmel ink pad

Batty for you Stamp set from Stampin' Up

1 3/4 inch circle punch

3/4 inch circle punch

1/4 inch circle punch

Scalloped circle punch

recipe cards

The first two pictures are of my Dessert recipe. I went with the pink and brown and also found some really cute cupcake paper, with glitter. Nothing better than glittered paper.

These recipes are from the exchange group I am part of and fit in the recipe boxes that I posted pictures of the other day.

I enjoy scrapbooking my reicpes because it gives the recipes a unique feel and is fun to show off your talents. I will post more of the scrapbook recipes as I finish them.
