Pretty Pansies!!

This one was sooooo fun to make and I"m sure you can tell what punch I used to make these Perfect Purple Pansies. The Greenhouse Garden stamp set came in very handy too.

What mom wouldn't love getting this one!!!

Birdhouse & Sunflowers

I am going to try and make this my last Sunflower card for a while but I think they turn out sooooo cute.

Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Creamy Carmel were my cardstock choices as well as Summer Sun for my flowers. I stamped my little bird in Night of Navy.

The birdhouse is just Word Window Punches and the Small Tag punch. So simple. Of course it probably took me all night to make this card. I don't know why I can just get the idea and put it together but noooooooooooo I have to think and re-think the whole thing but in the end I am usually very happy with the result.

Hope you like it too.

Yes another Sunflower Card!

OK I couldn't resist try another sunflower card...in fact I just punched a few more flowers out of the Boho Blossoms to maybe make another one...just different.

I also love the ornament punch for the vase.

Love the way this one turned out too.

Sunflowers, Sunflowers,Sunflowers

Well maybe I went a little sunflower crazy but I just adore these and want to thank Jane for bringing this up and Jacqueline for the ideas.

I still have 23 more cards to get through.

A couple more Note Card and Envelope Holders

Here are a couple more Holders still using Tart & Tangy....love that set.

Cherries Galore Note Card and Envelope Holder

I made this Note Card and Envelope Holder just alittle smaller. This one holds 6 of each instead of 12. Colored my Cherry Stamp from Tart & Tangy with Stampin Write Markers. 3 of the cards are stamped with the greeting Thinking of You and the other 3 say Thanks so much.

These are fun to make. So watch for more.

Faux Quilted Post It Note Holder for Mom!

Tried my hand at the Faux Quilting on my Post It Note Holder and I think it turned out absolutely adorable if I do say so myself.

Teacher Apple Note Card Holder

Ok this one took a while to make but it was well worth it. This box is holding 12 note cards and 12 envelopes. I used the Tart and Tangy Apple Stamp and the Stampin Write Markers to color the stamp.

This would be a great end of the year teacher gift.

I love the way it turned out.

Faux Quilted Baby Bib Card

I had so much fun making this cute Faux Quilted Baby Bib Card. I used the 1-1/4" square punch for each piece of the DSP and the bib is made with the Big Shot Scallop Die and the Circle die. I used the Stampin Write Chocolate Chip Marker to make all the little X's.

Of course pink is for little girls and I will be making blue too.

Hope you like it.

Baby Girl Faux Quilted Blanket Card

Here's another one and hoping this one looks like a baby quilt. Made just the same as the other one just changed up the colors of course and I love the Teeny Tiny Wishes "Hello Baby" stamp

Faux Quilted Monogram Mother's Day Card

I am soooooo happy it is finally the weekend and extra happy with the way this card turned out.

I used the square punch and the Big Shot Top Note Die to make this adorable Mother's Day card. The DSP is Sweet Pea which I love and the Lovely Letters for the monogram. Put that on the Modern Label punch and of course Teeny Tiny Wishes for the greeting.

Plan on seeing a few more of these soon.

Another Ornament Punch Vase Card

Well I'm on a roll tonight. Here's another Ornament Punch Vase card but this one I also used the Large Oval Punch to make a smaller bud vase. Love this one too!!

Ornament Punch Vase

I was so excited....today I finally got my Stampin Up Ornament punch which is what I used to make the vase on the adorable card. I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set for the flowers and colored them with the Stampin Up Markers.

I just love the way this one turned out.

Creating again!!

Received a wonderful stamp set at the Regional Meeting in Milwaukee yesterday so of course I had to make something with it. I did make a few Mother's Day cards already but came up with this cute holder for the 3" x 3" Post-it-Notes.

Used Always Artichoke cardstock and ink with my new Vintage Vogue stamp set and I think this turned out adorable. Used velcro for the closure and just a piece of Whisper White taffeta ribbon for a little embellishment.

Hope you like it.

Milwaukee Regional Meeting

Well today was a wonderful day. Went up to Milwaukee for the Stampin Up Regional Meeting with 3 wonderful "friends" well at least I hope I can still call them my friends after this trip.

Received a lot of great tips and ideas so make sure you check back. I hope I will be posting some new pictures of things that I make from this great trip.

Thank you again Lisa, Lynn and Mindy for letting me ride along with you!!

Been a long time!!

Wow it's been a while since I have posted anything but believe me I have been working. Getting ready to go to our Regional Convention in Milwaukee, I have a workshop next weekend and will be doing a craft show in Glendale Heights on April 24th. I will post more details before the show and you can stop by and visit.

A difficult thing to come up with is a "manly" card and I made this one for a gentleman that works in one of our other offices. He's been with the company since it start a long time ago. I came up with this get well card for him and all of us in our office will sign and send it to him to wish him well. I hope everyone in my office likes it. "Manly" cards can be alittle challenging.

Hope you are all having a great week considering it's almost over...
