Great Friend Card

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Can you believe I had this set ‘Great Friend’ for two years and have never used it until last month?

The delicate butterfly is stamped in Versamark and embossed in white on vellum cardstock (#101856) then trimmed within 1/8th of the inch of the edge.  It is highlighted by the ‘Modern Label punch’ (#116630) and celery cardstock.

I love the green/black combination (as much as yellow/black combination that I have featured in my posts lately).

And I’m happy to announce that the Scallop Edge punch is going to be available in the new catalog (though some of you got it free during SAB.

The ribbon is the white organza (#114319) and it is so elegant!  The name is confusing to me as it has a stripe of satin down the middle (go figure!).

Gift Tag Holder

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I have so much of the ‘Cottage Wall’ designer paper left over from my Stamp Festival so I thought to put it to good use!

At my team meeting last week, we made this adorable ‘tag’ holder (which was an idea that I flagrantly stole from the very talented Becky Roberts who made me one for a private ‘Take 3′ swap at Leadership).  What a nice gift this makes!

And as a funny coincidence, Amanda Coughlin this morning posted her CASE of a Becky Roberts project tutorial she purchased for our swap in January!

The body of the booklet is a 3 1/4  x 10 1/2 inch piece of Razzleberry Red cardstock, scored at 5 & 5 1/2.  The ‘pockets’ inside are 3×5 flat cello bags (#103104) lined in white cardstock (so the tags really show up).  The other coordinating color is Old Olive.

If you made this to hold the 4×6 flat cello pockets, this would make a nice photo holder, don’t you think?

While I used a different designer paper/color combination, I loved her designs of the tags (and hers were WAY more detailed than mine) so I copied three of them with what I had on hand.

The middle mini-pocketbook is fully functional in that it opens!  The pocketbook is a piece of designer paper folded in half and punched with the large oval leaving out the bottom seam so it opens.  The purse ‘clasp’ is the very small oval punch decorated with the Trio Flower (#109183) punch and a crystal brad held shut with a glue dot and the handle is the medium oval punched out and then the scalloped oval punched out above that!

The tag on the right is a flowerpot made from the ornament punch upside down, the leaves is the Sizzlit Die – Stampin’ Up! ‘Little Leaves’(#114511) and again the flowers are the Trio Flower punch.

Abundant Hope Easter Card

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

My daffodils are starting to come up (seems like winter was forever this year)! I included an up-close shot of the beautiful detail of the stamp.   You can click on the card for a close up as well.

The card is Vanilla and the Saffron designer paper.  The flower was colored in with the Summer Sun and Old Olive Watercolor Crayons and an Aquapainter.  This was a very quick card!  The vanilla satin ribbon gave it a richness and don’t you just LOVE the Scallop Trim Border Punch (#118402) which is a FREE Sale-A-Bration gift with your $50 order and available only until the end of this month.
