OVAL ALL BOX SET

Today I made a gift set using the Oval All class planner Melissa Stout posted on the Stampin' Up website. Melissa is my upline so of course I am pretty partial to her, she is very talented. I used the Oval All set but changed the papers and did my own layouts for the cards. The colors I used were basic gray, kiwi kiss, rose red and ww. Also large oval, wide oval, and scalloped oval punches and the eyelet border punch with the satin stripped ribbon. Hope you like.

MATCHBOX CASE

Hello there. I just had to show you my version of Melissa Rogers' matchbox gift. She posted hers the other day on her blog www.megastampinstudio.com and I asked if she cared if I cased and this is mine. I use the checkered paper in the Slumber Party DSP and filled with 3 of the matchbox centers attached with sticky strip. Attached a designer baja button with a rhinestone brad from the pretties kit and then used a piece of linen thread to the bottom of the box and wrapped it around the button to hold the box shut. It was very simple to put together. I want to thank Melissa for the inspiration.

Here is the inside of the box. I hold the usual 4 pc nuggets each. I wrapped them with a 3" piece of in color ribbons, and stamped the "just for you" stamp from the Oval All set from the Occasion Mini in Baja Breeze and layered on RHR. This makes a real nice Hostess Thank You or a door prize gift. Enjoy!

Here is my card I did for the design challange for LNS #16. I used pretty in pink cs layered with tea party dsp and w. white scalloped trim and then tied up with celery 5/8" and 1/4 " ribbon then topped with celery and white cs stamped with If the Halo Fits stamp set and colored with markers in blush, saffron, pretty in pink and banana. This was fun, I don't get to do alot of these with working all the time. Hopefully I can do more. Hope you enjoy it.

FLOWER POT CARDS

I love the flower pot cards everyone's making so I had to give it a try. Mine are assorted flowers and then a pot of violets. Hope you like.

My Quilt Card

I was interested in the quilt cards others were making so I decided to try it. I love the interest that quilts have. I am impressed with them and the ones who make them. So, here is my version of a quilt card. I cut my 1" squares out of the print pack in the hostess set level 1 of the Regal Rose, Apricot and the Basic Gray and glued them to a piece of non-SU white paper (lighter weight) and then trimmed to size and layered to Basic Gray and then on to Apricot CS. Wrapped 5/8" Rose ribbon around and layered a piece of matching ribbon and sewed a button on top to hold together with white embrodery (sp) thread. Then stamped the hearts out of the Wagon Full of Fun Set out of the Occasion Mini, colored with Markers and cut out and put on with demensionals. This card can be used for almost anything. I think it would make a great card for Mothers or Grandmothers since that is what I think of when I think of quilts. And remember Mothers day is next month. Not to soon to be thinking of May. Hope you Like.

LATE NIGHT STAMPING

Hi all. Wanted to show you some of the items I've been working on these past few days. Been busy working so not much time to create. These are some of the items I will be sending to Sherrill Graff for her Late Night Stampers. Yes I have been chosen to create for her for the month of April. What a honor to be chosen. There are so many creative stampers and scrapbookers out there that I feel lucky to get the honor to be one of her crafters. Thanks Sherrill. Look at all of these little machbox boxes. I made these for Easter gifts for some friends at church and at work. They hold 4 pc of hersheys nuggets very snug, so are easy to tie ribbon around.

Here is my Lucky Duck card. This card is in Pacific Point and Old Olive cs with SAB dsp and Old Olive Ribbon and ran thru the Big Shot texture plate. Sorry for the blurriness. Must be a little shakey. Been working super early hours and not sleeping enough. Think I need to get some rest.

Another card with the Tea Party dsp. I used the texture plate from the Big Shot for the card front. Stamped, colored,cut out and used flower brad for the flower. No saying, just a versatile card. I have no idea why this is underlined. LOL.

This card is out of Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. Sorry for the poor picture, bad lighting and angle.

MOVERS AND SHAPERS BOX

This little cuttie is made from the Movers and Shapers Big Shot die. I saw it online this morning and I accidently deleted it so I am sorry I cannot tell you who made it. If it is you please email me and let me know. This is a nice size bow and will hold anything from mini note cards to lots of goodies. Yum!
