6x6 Punch Art Technique Card

Hello Hivers,
I decided to make my first technique card. I used a 6x6 sheet of card stock for the base. I just love punch art and these Sesame Street characters are just super cute. I will be sharing 3 more over the next few days.

Happy 1st Birthday Avriana!

Hello Hivers,
Today is my niece's 1st Birthday. I wanted to make her a card with the Sesame Street characters but I didn't know how. I had seen a card using some of the characters on SCS but I couldn't remember where. Then, like the angel she is, Dawn shared a card and a video using 4 of the characters. Yeahhhh! Thanks Dawn. Here is my shameless CASE of her card.

More Easter Cards

Hello Hivers,

These are some more last minute Easter cards. I really like the way these turned out. They are very simple yet pretty. The main image is from the Level 2 stamp set Echoes of Kindness. I used the Scallop Circle and Five petal punch on these projects. The DSP is retired. I used Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White card stock.

Until next time.....

Oops!

Hello Hivers,
I am back. I went to upload some pictures from my camera yesterday and guess what I found. Yes, pictures of projects that I had ready for my blog last week. I don't know how I forgot about this. I made a few more Easter cards for a few people I neglected to put on my list. I used the wide oval punch with some DSP for the eggs. and just cut a plant pot like shape out of card stock. I used a flower punch and the Scalloped Edge punch to finish the pot. Looking back on this card, I see I should have added some ribbon around the rim of the pot.

Another Top Note Purse

Hello Hivers,
I just had to make another one of these cute purses using the Top Note die. For this purse I used the Sweet Always DSP and Only Orange card stock. I ran some Pumpkin Pie 1/4" ribbon down the center of the Chocolate Chip ribbon to create the handle. I used a Jumbo brad for the button on this purse. I also gave it a little flare with the Swirls and Scribbles die.

Enjoy your day. Leave me a comment and I will enjoy mine.

Card Box

Hello Hivers,

I decided to make a Purse to hold the 3x3 note cards I shared yesterday. The purse can hold full size cards, however, I am putting other things in mine. I found these cute little tins of gum/mints at Cracker Barrel. I made a little box to store it in. That will also go in the purse. I found the tutorial for this Simply Scrappin' Kit Card Box here.

I used Chocolate Chip card stock, 5/8" ribbon, and Corduroy button on this project. The DSP is from the Parisian Breeze Specialty paper. I also used 2 Jumbo eyelets on the side for my ribbon to go through for the handle.

Until next time.....

Shameless CASE

Hello Hivers,
Here are some 3x3 note cards I made. I shamelessly CASE'd Dawn's card. You can view her cards here.

I don't have the Sprinkles stamp set so I used a retired set that was similar. I also used the Oval All stamp set and new scallop oval punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Color Scheme: Baja Breeze, Close to Cocoa, and Chocolate Chip card stock and ink.

Supplies:

Scallop Circle, 1-3/8 circle, 1-3/4 circle punches; various Stampin' Write markers, Certain Celery Ribbon (SAB), Bashful Blue ribbon; Kraft, So Saffron, Whisper White, Certain Celery, Bashful Blue and Mellow Moss card stock; Black StazOn ink.

Thinking of You

Hello Hivers,
Today's card was made using the Upsy Daisy stamp set and the Textured DSP Parisian Breeze. Last Monday I made a card with a similar image. I actually stamped them at the same time. I wanted to do something different with this card though.

I have made about 3-4 sympathy cards and I just wanted to make this a card to say "I am thinking about you".

I added some paper piercing at the top and bottom of the image and to finish I added some Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.

Until next time.....

Is Easter Here Yet?

Hello Hivers,
Today I am sharing these cute little baskets using the Scalloped Envelope Bigz die. I embossed my paper with Stampin' Up! Texture Plates Kit #4 and Backgrounds 1. I added some Sweet Always DSP to decorate. The flowers are from the Sweet Stems stamp set and I used the Five Petal Punch to create the other flower.

Welcome Baby

Happy Birthday Unique....I Love You.

Hello Hivers,
Today is my sisters birthday. I just had to send her a shout out.

I made this card for a good friend of mine. She recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I used Cameo Coral, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, and Apricot Appeal card stock. I used my Curly Label punch and a couple of square punches to mount the main image.

Do you see the faux embossing. I punched out flowers in Cameo Coral and placed them all over the card. The sentiment is from the Newly Retired set Congrats that I earned during Sale-A-Bration.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Top Note Purse

Hello Hivers,
I have been seeing these cute purses all over SCS and other blogs. I just had to make one. I think this turned out pretty good. I used 2 Top Notes and the large Scallop Circle die to create this purse. I decorated it with the Sweet Always DSP and the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlits die. I added 2 Jumbo eyelets to the flap to hold the ribbon in place for the handle. I used 5/8" Chocolate Chip ribbon with 1/4" Whisper White grosgrain ribbon down the middle. The "button" on the flap is a Filigree brad with a Circle Rhinestone brad in the center.

Thanks for buzzzing by my hive today. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Upsy Daisy Sympathy

Hello Hivers,
I am back. I had a great week with my family. I had lots of time to work on projects for the up coming holiday....more on that next week. I don't want anyone to see what they will be getting Sunday.

On to today's project. My DH asked me to make another sympathy card for a coworker. I wanted to use the Upsy Daisy stamp set because I had never used it. I don't know how I came up with the design for this card but I love it. I also used the retired background stamp; Weathered.
I designed the inside to match the card front. I used a sentiment from the Brighter Tomorrow set which is also retired.
