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.


Until next time.....

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.

Until next time.....

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.

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.

Until next time.....

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.

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.

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.


Until next time.....
