I just had to show you all this wonderful baby shower gift that my best friend and her daughter made. They used the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die to create this mobile/chandelier to hang over the crib. It is just soooo stinkin' cute!
This is the card I made for my dear sister. I used the new Labels Collection Framelits Dies and the Apothecary Art stamp set. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Pool Party card stock cut out from the Petal Cone Die and I added a brad from the Designer Printed Brads. For the ribbon I used the Pool Party Seam Binding and Calypso Coral Organdy Ribbon from the Sale-A-Brations catty (starting Jan. 24, 2012). The Everyday Enchantment DSP was layered on Lucky Limeade card stock and Pool Party was used for the base. I just love this card.
This card was given to my son's teacher. Her birthday was 2 days before his. I love the colors of this card: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Pumpkin Pie. I used the Butterfly Punch to make the flowers. I just love the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. It is very nice.
Thanks for buzzzing by my Hive. Enjoy your day. Thank a Veteran.
I made these boxes for the office staff at my children's school. During Teacher Appreciation week they also celebrate their employees. It is a small school. I filled the boxes with two different types of chocolates. I added a handle to the box to jazz it up a bit. Thanks for buzzzing by my hive.
Supplies: Box #2 die, Cottage Wall DSP, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White card stock, Modern Label punch, Movers and Shapers Punch Windows, Boho Blossom punch, and brads.
This is another appreciation card for one of the male teachers at my children's school. I love the color combination of this card. If you can't tell by now I am also loving the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
Supplies: Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, and Old Olive card stock and ink. Extreme Elements, Crazy Cool, and Extreme Guitar stamp sets.
I made this card for my mother. I love the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die. The butterflies are so cute. They can be used in a variety of ways for all occasions. The Top Note die is tucked under the Boho Blossoms flower to keep the card shut.
I wrote a personal message on the back of the card.
I used the Well Scripted and Messages for Mom stamps sets to create this card. Gotta love the background stamp too. I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Thanks for Buzzzing by.
I have mentioned several times on my blog that I am not very creative. I, however, can copy just about anything. One would think I would have figured out by now that I need to write down the blogs I visit for ideas. I have searched for the original designer of this card and can not find her. I thought I saved it to my favorites on SCS, but it is not there. I am so sorry I can't give proper credit.
Lesson Learned. I will be writing down websites from now on. This card is Super Pretty. I just had to copy it. I used the Bella Toile and Best Yet stamp sets. I gave these out for Mother's Day. I had to die by Satin Ribbon to match the Melon Mambo card stock.
Supplies: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Kraft, and Melon Mambo card stock. Aqua Painter, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip, and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers. Square Lattice Embossing folder, Square Scallop punch, 1/4 square punch and brads.
One of my husband's dearest friends past away a couple of weeks ago. I made this card for him to give to the wife. I left the inside blank for him to write a personal message. This card was CASE'd from Jill's Card Creations . Thank you for such a wonderful design.
Supplies: Soft suede, Close to Cocoa, and Very Vanilla card stock. Close to Cocoa and VersaMark ink. Kraft Taffeta ribbon. Elements of Style stamp set. Until next time.....Buzzz U Later
I am back. I have figured out a long and drawn out process to watermark my photos. I have to use a computer that belongs to someone else. Ha ha ha! Save to my flash drive and then load the photos onto my iMAC. I hope my DH will purchase some sort of PhotoShop for my computer soon.
I have been working on so many projects. I am starting with a Baby Shower gift from December. Yes, December. LOL This is the card I made for one of my son's teacher. Just love the way this card turned out. In the coming days I will be sharing the rest of the gift I made for her.
It has been so long since I made this card, I can't remember what I used on it. Some circle punches, brads, Circle scallop Bigz die, Simply Scrappin' Kit, card stock and ribbon.
Hello Hivers, I made this card in October for my father's birthday. These colors just look so great together. I used my Big Shot and a plate from the Textured Plates Kit #4 to emboss the Soft Suede card stock. The leaf is from the Autumn Days stamp set. I used my circle punches to layer them.
More Mustard, Ruby Red, Always Artichoke, and Elegant Eggplant card stock
I am so very pleased to say I figured out a way to post to my blog with a funny acting computer. I can just load the pictures onto my blog from my computer (before it shuts off on me) and use my son's computer to write all the messages. Genius, right. Well, here is my first project I have to share.....I hope you enjoy it. Oh, and thanks for understanding.
Hello Hivers, This is the card I made for my husband. I cased it from a card on SCS. I love, love, love, this Pop-Up Three Tier Cake Bigz die. There are so many different things that can be made with this die. I used the And Many Mower stamp set on this card as well.
Oh, I want to say.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
to my aunt Chrisy and cousin Yana Until next time..... Buzzz U Later Honeybee
This card was made for my FABULOUS mother-in-law. She recently celebrated her birthday. I wanted to try something new.....so I grabbed my Pop-Up Cake Die and ran it through the Big Shot. I used Sweet Always Designer Series Paper. It is going bye bye at the end of this month along with the Hugs and Wishes stamp set I used for the inside sentiment. I decorated my cake using the Eyelet Border, Boho Blossoms and Trio Flower punches. The sentiment on the front of the card is from the set, Party Hearty and the cupcake images are from Wagon Full of Fun.
Today I am sharing the card I made to match the box from yesterday's post. I used all the same supplies except I added the Baroque Motifs stamp in the background and I used a Basic Gray Corduroy Button. The flower is from the Daisies Bigz Die, it is just a different part. I hope you have enjoyed all the wonderful projects this week. I will have lots more next week. Leave me a comment. I don't mind. Really, I don't.
This cute little book is actually a box. It is super adorable. It was a 3-D challenge on SCS. It was designed to hold a gift card. Which is probably what I am going to use it for. I decorated mine for an upcoming wedding I will be attending. I used DSP from the Level 1 Hostess award Patterns Pack II. The card stock is Going Gray and Basic Gray. That oh so lovely daisy was made using the Big Shot and the Bigz Die Flower, Daisies #2. The center of the flower is a Clear Rhinestone Brad inside of a Filigree Designer Brad. I also used the Filigree brad on the "book marker" along with Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon. For the Sentiment I layered the Large Oval, Scallop Oval and the Wide Oval punches. I embossed the the sentiment in silver. The sentiment is from the Under $10 set: Forever ($5.95) found on page 208 of the current catty.
I had so much fun making today's project. I used several different techniques. I just LOVE the way this card looks. I used Chocolate Chip, Tango Tangerine, and Very Vanilla card stock. My Big Shot was a huge help on this card. I layered the Top Note off center so that I could keep the perforated edge on the top piece but still get the layered look. What do you think of that? I grabbed my Small and Large Oval punches for the sentiment. Everything on this card got beat up something awful. I had my DH wad up the Very Vanilla pieces and one of my children tore the edges of the card base. I used the direct to paper technique for the background on the base and on the main image. "We" were going for the vintage look. Oh, I guess I should tell you that I used the Level 2 Hostess set Rustic Rooster. This gorgeous set will only be available until the end of June 2009. Host a workshop in June and you can get all kinds of goodies....What kind you ask.....well..

Hello Hivers, I just had to make another one of these cute purses using the Top Note die. For this purse I used the Sweet Always DSP and Only Orange card stock. I ran some Pumpkin Pie 1/4" ribbon down the center of the Chocolate Chip ribbon to create the handle. I used a Jumbo brad for the button on this purse. I also gave it a little flare with the Swirls and Scribbles die.
Enjoy your day. Leave me a comment and I will enjoy mine. Until next time..... Buzzz U Later Honeybee
Hello Hivers, I have been seeing these cute purses all over SCS and other blogs. I just had to make one. I think this turned out pretty good. I used 2 Top Notes and the large Scallop Circle die to create this purse. I decorated it with the Sweet Always DSP and the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlits die. I added 2 Jumbo eyelets to the flap to hold the ribbon in place for the handle. I used 5/8" Chocolate Chip ribbon with 1/4" Whisper White grosgrain ribbon down the middle. The "button" on the flap is a Filigree brad with a Circle Rhinestone brad in the center.
Thanks for buzzzing by my hive today. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
