Gosh, this is the very 1st Stampin' Up set that I purchased about 6 years ago. I wasn't really into stamping at the time, but thought the stamps were cute. This past year, I finally took it out and played with it. Enjoy!

I wanted to make my friend a special gift for her birthday. She is a very busy mom with kids, like most of us are. I purchased the planner at Michaels in their $1 section. I made this for her last year 2007 but decided to just go ahead and post it here. I made a birthday card to match. She had mentioned to me that she loved the planner. I also made a pen to match. Thanks for dropping by!
I really wanted to do something special for my pen pal friends as that I was falling behind on them due to my setback with my foot surgery. This is what I came up with.
The inside of each card reads "Wishing you a Star-Spangled Kind of Day". I really enjoyed making these. Have a great July 4th weekend!

WOW! I've been so busy that I forgot to make a Father's Day card for my dad. It's ok that it will be late, as long as it's homemade. He lives in California, oh how I wish I could be there right now. I've been wanting to use this butterfly from Inkadinkado for awhile now so I decided this would work perfect. I started out by using the Cuttlebug Textile folder on white cardstock and attached to the base of the card. I stamped the butterfly on white c/s with clear embossing ink. I then took some black embossing powder and used my heat gun. I cut it out and accidently cut the antennas off, so I decided on the jewelery cording to replace them. I added eyelets for the eyes. My dad is very simple so I know he'll enjoy this card. Have a great weekend!

I wanted to try a new technique so I decided on chalking. I used the CB Stylized folder on white c/s. I colored the embossed flowers and stems using my chalks with q-tips. I used my chalk eraser in some areas that needed it. I added rhinestones for the center of the flowers. I also used my CB mini die cut tag for the sentiment, added eyelets, and ran sheer polka dot ribbon around the back. It is held on with a pop dot. This was a challenge for me to try something different.
Have a wonderful day!
This is a very simple card to make. I cased it from Jenny Miller from the Stamp It book. I started out using yoyo yellow as the card base. I trimmed a piece of dp and attached. I trimmed a narrow piece of another type of dp and secured. I stamped the sentiment from Studio G clear stamps. I stamped the flower onto white c/s using more mustard ink. I used clear embossing powder with my heat gun. I cut out the flower with my scissors. I attached a flower button and used embroidery floss for the middle. The flower is held on with pop dots. I really like the simplicity of this card.
Have a sunny day!
I know it's been awhile since I last posted a card. It's been rather hectic around here. My boys have been out of school for a week now and we have been busy. The only time I really get to stamp, is at night. By that time comes around, I'm tired. Today, they are at Ranch Camp with our church and will be there daily at the ranch owned by their Pastor. I drop them off at church by 7:30am and they return at 5:30pm, pretty long day for them. I have the house to myself all day to stamp or do whatever I want.
I started out by using my CB swirls on pale turguoise c/s. (I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it, it's from SU). I cut 2 pieces of DCWV dp into strips, used the CB swiss dots folder, and attached them using tacky tape. I stamped the butterfly from Studio G clear stamps onto a white scallop circle. (The scallop circles were from one of my pen pals). I stamped the butterfly again onto printed dp, cut it out, and glued in place. I mounted the images onto another scallop circle and it is held on with pop dots. I used my silver gel pen for the dots around the scallop circles. I also added rhinestones to the side of the card. This was a really easy challenge for me. This is for challenge SC179 over at www.splitcoaststampers.com
Have a great day!
