Sunflower Botanical Tags

This is the third tag.  I cut one completely out and just tucked it behind the tag.    Have I convinced you yet that you need this set?

Botanical Fall

You don’t have to make Tags with this set!  You can cut out the birds and I put Calypso Coral behind.  Then I added leaves and a sentiment.

Botanical Bird Tag

I think the Little birds thinlit is my favourite in this set!   We cut this out on Wood Textures DSP.   We used the Subtle Embossing Folder as background.  It is so pretty you don’t need to add much.

More Botanical Tags

There are three tags in this set of thinlits.  We used the Rose one for this card.  The neat thing with these thinlits is that you can use them to make a bookmark or you can cut the flower out with another thinlit.  I wasn’t sure which card I liked better.  I cut out a black flower and put that on.  I also added a piece of silver glitter paper.  Not sure which one I like better.  Which one do you like?

Santa Lipstick Gift

I us d Santa’s Workshop Suite to make these cute little boxes.  The paper from this suite is sooo cute!  I also like the Garden Green Bakers Twine as it is thicker and than usual twine.  The stamp set has great little sentiments in it too!

Botanical Tags

My friend bought this set of tags thinlits and then came over and we made several cards with it.  This is a very lovely  set and goes so well with Petal Palette Bundle..  Mint Macaron has always been one of my favourite colours and goes so well with Soft Suede too.  We used the Subtle Embosding folder a lot with these tags as you will see in my next few cards.

Daisies!

I love the beautiful daisies in my garden at this time of year. They bloom for such a long time.  I tried to recreate these flowers with my Daisy punch and I am quite pleased with the result.

Pointsettia Special Fold

These cards take awhile to make but are so worth it!!  I let one of my classes choose their next class and they wanted to try the little box from yesterday and this card.   I made these last year and want to design a few more.

Treat Boxes

I made two of these last year and they were popular little gifts!  You can put various treats in them but Ferraro Rochet chocolates fit the best.   I will be holding a class and there are five spots left and this is one of the items we will be making.

Baby Bear in my Stamparatus

Paper Pumpkin Halloween Treats

Well... my kit and my friends kit arrived at noon.  I opened them and sorted all the pieces and by two had all the stamping done for 48 treat bags.  Then I had to ride my bike to the store for candy to put in them.  I o lot made a few as I thought the candy might get hard before Halloween.  I did my friends stamping as she has been very busy for a few months and I thought it might be helpful.  You can see what a lot of stuff comes in these packages and how cute the little bags are!

Delightfully Detailed Cake Soirée

I have been wanting to use my Delightfully Detailed DSP and my friend wanted to use the Cake Soirée so we brought the two together with her favourite colours.  We experimented with just using Highland Heather but finally decided that silver foil and embossing looked best.

Prayer Card

I saw a card on Pinterestand took some of my design voices from Kristin Hayes.  I sooo live this paper and the flowers are so pretty.  This card really uses many of the Stitched Label Framelits and that was fun!

Monday, September 10, 2018

I had a class on Saturday and we made a card with a hedgehog.  One of my students needed a baby card for that afternoon so I just pulled out my Pool Party and my Little Elephant Stamp Set and we made the same card but in blue and with the little elephant!

Beautiful You

I don’t think I shall ever part with this set even if it retires.  I stamped on Grapefruit Grove DSP to make the dresses and then cut them out.  My friend and I needed some cards for our friends and she had a retired set with this beautiful sentiment so we used it!

Hedgehog Cutie

Don’t you just love this little guy?  I used Cajun Craze to give this card a fall feel.  It is an easil Card.  I used the Seasonal Layers to make the leaf at the bottom to hold the card in place.  The gold looks so great on the Cajun Craze!
