More Digital...

Here is another digital card that I created from scratch. Started with a blank page and made this. Have to admit...since I'm new to this digital stuff...kinda impressed with myself. :) Hehe. I am actually going to make this card with my paper crafting supplies as soon as I get home from my trip. Anyway: just wanted to share real quick.

Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoy!

Butterfly Embossed Card...

I LOVE this card. I saw it out there in blog world and jumped right up to make one myself. I needed a thank you card for my fabulous Aunt, and this reminded me of her. I seriously didn't change anything...I thought it was fabulous just how it was. Now...I am going to have to update this with whom I CASEd (copy and share everything) it from. I have all that info at home. Sorry! But I still wanted to show you the card.

Look at the fun paper, embossing, butterfly...there is a window sheet layer on top of the largest butterfly. Here is a close-up...

This is a new embossing folder that Stampin' Up sells (can't remember the name right now) and love that button. This butterfly die is one of my faves...I use it all the time.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

SO EXCITING!!!!

So....I have mentioned before that Stampin' Up's Digital Scrapbooking program will be available for purchase on OCTOBER 1st!!! Well...one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demo is we can order it early! I received mine YESTERDAY!!!! Now...sadly...I haven't had much time to play with it. But soon enough...I'll know what I'm doing and be an expert at it. :) Hehe. Anyway...I gave myself a few seconds last night so I could play. :) And really...this card only took a few seconds. I used one of their card templates and just changed some things to make it my own. :) And VOILA! YOU get to see my FIRST CARD/PROJECT made with "My Digital Studio!" Now...I am one that LOVES the 3-D aspects of paper crafting. Ribbon...embellishments....that stuff just makes me excited. :) So if I ever were to print this card out, I would DEFINITELY be adding my own embellishments and doing more of a hybrid thing (combining digital layouts with real life embellishments). BUT....I think this will be SUPER FUN to even create layouts that you want to make in real life and all sorts of other things. I'm truly SO EXCITED this is here! In fast...you may see this card soon in a "real life" example. :)


ENJOY!!! Thanks for visiting!!!

The Evolution of a Card...

The other day I sat down to make a card. Well...if you would like to see my process on how a card sometimes is born...here you go. A window to my world, if you will. :) I had an idea in my head, but this first card wasn't it...

Close, but no cigar. Just wasn't feeling this card at all.

On to round 2...

MUCH better, but still wasn't quite right. Don't know why, but it wasn't. :) FINALLY...this is what I came up with and felt much better about it...

AND HERE SHE IS!!! The birth of this card! What can I say...sometimes you have to stamp a lot of cards before you find your prince. :) I liked how this one came out. Hope you do too! Thanks for visiting!

Convention Displays...Scrapbooking...

Here are a few 6x6 scrapbook pages I made for the Display Boards at convention this year. This first one is using the "things I love" set and it was quite fun to make. I LOVE pink, brown, and glitter! So using things I love with the "thing I love" set. :) Haha. Anyway...here is the first page. I have a picture at the bottom of this post that actually has the page up on the display board with the picture I put on it.
Here is the close-up of the glitter...

Here is my second 6x6 page. (I also did a 8x8 and a 12x12 page which I will share later. :) ) This was I was trying to get some of the new In Colors used so I used Dusty Durango and Soft Suede. The background was done with a VersaMarker (just colored in the part of the stamp I wanted) and then embossed with clear embossing powder. (A picture of this one with the picture I used on this page is below as well.)

Here is a close-up of the background and such...

Here is the picture of the "things I love" page on display with a picture of my cousin and I (HI EM!) after a FUN shopping trip for new Easter outfits when we were roommates YEARS ago!

And then here is the "Sweet Season" page on display with a DARLING picture of my baby girl when she was actually a baby...eating her yummy holiday sweets of baby food sweet potatoes. :)

Display Cards...

Here are a few more cards that I made for the Display Boards at convention...

This one uses the "Hello Again" stamp set. The bottom is Melon Mambo textured card stock. I LOVE the detail textured card stock gives on cards. The middle of the flower is a fun button in the Sherbet package of buttons. (Which you can earn FREE until Aug. 31st.)

Here is a close-up of the details. I used Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, and I did some paper piercing going to the "hello" sentiment.

Here is a fun birthday card. I added Crystal Effects to each of the images. You can see it better, hopefully, here...

This next card is much prettier in person. The top is Very Vanilla textured card stock (already stated how much I love this stuff. :) ), and then the bottom is the new Rich Razzleberry. I embossed the center focal point. Close-up picture below...

I used Iridescent Ice embossing powder. LOVE the sparkle this stuff gives any project. I just stamped the image twice and used punches to punch out each part that I wanted. I used some new ribbon from one the Ribbon Originals packages as well.

This card was fun to do. I decided I wanted to make an ornament Christmas card. So I used the largest scallop die and my Big Shot to make the card. I covered the top with the round tab punch and added ribbon to complete the look.

Here is a close-up...

I also used Iridescent Ice embossing powder here to shimmer up those ornaments as well as the "Merry Christmas" sentiment. Here it is all opened up...

I hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!

Gift Set...

Here is a gift set I made for someones event. They wanted each woman (it's a night for women specifically) that attended their function to have a going away gift. These are what I will be making for them...

I made a bag/purse with the Fancy Favor Die. I LOVE this box/purse/bag/whatever you want it to be....I use it all the time. I actually use it a lot more than I even thought I would. (I use these flowers a TON as well. They weren't my fave in the catalog, but they end up being my "go to" flower. It is the Flower Layers #3 die.) I made this box in to a purse by just adding a ribbon handle. Here is the whole package from the top. :)

And then the inside has a Post-It note holder and a small bag of chocolates. Obviously...everything coordinates...even the chocolate bag has that same flower tag for a tag. The color combo is Kraft, Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip and Rose Red. Then the obvious Old Olive accents with the leaves. :) Some close-up's are below...

The Post-It holder up close.
And opened up.

And don't forget the little bag of chocolates. :)

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

Baby Gift Card...

One of my husband's employee's is coming back from maternity leave, so he and his team got her a gift card to welcome her back. Well...he went to the store to get it and then was just going to take it to her in the little cheap paper envelope that comes with it. So OF COURSE I had to step in and let him know that just wouldn't cut it . :) I took it down to my stamp room and came back with something just a bit more fun. :)

I think this looks a little better, right?! :) I just took a 12x12 sheet of Designer Series Paper (I LOVE this paper so much...even though it's retired. I thought it was the perfect paper to use for this project as well.) Then I made an origami cup. These are so easy to do, I LOVE doing them. Let me know if you don't know how and I would be happy to do a tutorial if that would help.

Then I just put the gift card in a cello and tied it with ribbon. Then insert it in to the pouch and you are done! So much better than the tiny little cheap envelope that came with it. :)

Here is a close-up of the scallop and envelope. Both the scallop and the circle are from dies with my Big Shot, and I added some faux stitching around the circle and than carried that to the elephant. I stamped the elephant twice...one on the circle and then one on a scrap piece of white that I cut out and put up on dimensionals.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!
