Layers Punches card

i used 2 different punches and ran them thru different embossing folders i really like the look

My Second raggy quilt made for my Daughter in laws cousin Lyz she is having a girl.( of course that is why it is pink) hahaha. i really enjoy making these, i made an attempt on binding this one i screwed up the corners but it looks ok?

White on white i used mostly cuttle bug embossing folders and for the butterfly i embossed and then added some glaze , very pretty :)

For a color challenge over at the Paper wishes message board, Navy and gray colors, i saw a design like this on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try.

Another Christmas card for some reason i am into RED alot of my cards this past month have been red. lol i got some Martha Stewart glitters and wanted to try int on the roof and tree and foreground there are 3 different glitters on the image.

This Card is ALL Gina K papers and stamps I really like the way it turned out.

Gina K pumpkin stamp and paper wishes papers. I stamped and embossed the pumpkin and colored with glitter gel pens, the pretty DP i also stamped with the pumpkins stamp for a double stamp. i was playing in the cricut craft room last night (i have not been on in a long time or on my cricut) and cut out a bunch of leaves and flowers to make.

Silver Butterfly

My first attempt at Alcohol inks i created the green,blue background, i wanted to add some red butterfly's on the bottom but when i did, it did not look the way i intended so i covered it up with the lacy border and a butterfly dazzle. i stamped a Gina K stamp and added some flowers.

Getting a head start on a few of my Christmas Cards and fall.

Christmas in July 2012 Yay

Good afternoon  my earlier post i labeled it in correctly. so here is my Christmas in July posting. Over at the Paperwishes message board we have a guest host challenge and this July I get to Host! :) so i decided to do a Christmas in July challenge, every year i feel in a rush to make my Christmas cards so in preparation of this grand event i thought it would be fun to try and make at least 1 a week or if i am lucky 2 every other week. LOL here are my examples for this challenge.

Craftroom and Flooring

Good afternoon every one it has been a while since i have been able to play in my craft room we have been doing some remodeling and we put down new hardwood flooring YAY i am so excited it will be so much easier to clean up the floors and so of course we had to paint the walls as we go so it now looks new and fresh. here is a pic of my crafting area.I still need to put my supplies back in order but most of it is in. we have to move stuff from room to room as we go so it is still a bit of a mess.LOL

Birthdays and Grads, and fathers day

New Flower stamp set

Papers are from Gina K, they are a little shiny than what i am use to, but very pretty, the Stamps are form paperwishes i joined the stamp kit. this is the first time i did layers with the flowers.

How to make a heated flower

 Cut circles with punch, i used color paper to match my ribbon, apply double side score tape to 1 side, cut ribbon about 20 inches long, cut little snips along ribbon do not go all the way thru ribbon.

 apply notched ribbon onto taped circle using a fold as you go around the circle

 continue around circle until all filled up, once you get to the middle i did use a few extra glue dots to fill in on the top.

 this is what it looks like all glued down before heating with heat gun.

 Heat up heat gun and take a tweezers or a poke tool (i could not find my tweezer) and heat around flower it will start to melt, be careful it is HOT, move heat gun until you get the desired look you like.

 this is the little red one i started

the finished results add a little bling to the center or a button or nothing at all.
Type of Ribbon i used was the silky kind i have not tried any other kind.

Lacy stamp and dress

I just got a stamp kit from Gina K, super lacy borders i embossed them with cranberry and the other in copper. the dress stamp is from Paper wishes and the paper is from paper wishes. no the FLOWER. i just learned how to make these flowers using ribbon, so cool. i will see if i can post how to make them if any one is interested.

i think i went a little over board on the pearl swirls?

Double side paper

Hi and good evening i have created a Mothers day card for the paper wishes blog challenge all products used were purchased from paper wishes. the double sided paper is pretty neat i created this little pocket card and tag to go in the pocket.

Wow i have been busy this weekend. whew but i sure have enjoyed it, i just learned how to make a pocket card (practicing for a card challenge) so her is my double pocket card with tags, i have a question for those of you that may happen along and read this how do you tie a nice knot on the tags? every thing i tried look bulky except a thinner ribbon but it was the wrong color and even then it looked like it wanted to come undone.

made for Stamp TV challenge to make a Gate fold card that folds a little different pretty neat, i usually do not do Cutesy kind of cards but i had these freebie stamps from my card making and paper craft magazine

i will have to do a few more of these it was a fun card to make. now to think of a pocket card with poka dots for a card swap over at Paperwishes.
