Dreams Du Jour
Hi! I’m back…again! It seems as if I’ve forgotten about my little blog for awhile! Sometimes I get so busy and posting just slips through the cracks! Anyways, here’s a card I made with one of the new stamp sets from the new Fall-Winter Collection Catalog…Dreams Du Jour. I made this card for my downline, Stephanie, who turned 30 earlier this month.
I use the new In Colors for this one (Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, and Kiwi Kiss) and the new Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. The numbers “30″ are American Crafts Thickers. I used Prisma Color pencils to color in the stamp and stamped the butterflies, trimmed them out, and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wasn’t immediately attracted to the new In Colors or Bella Rose look, but I definitely have to say they grew on me and I now love both!
One of a Kind Birthday Card
I made this card for my grandma for her 90th birthday. I used the Bali Breeze DS paper and One of a Kind stamp set. I really love the bright color combo on this card. The sentiment is from the retired “Warmest Regards” hostess set. That stamp is one of my all time favorite sentiment sets. I always find myself reaching for it whenever I have to make a card for an occasion.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
Mother’s Day Notecard Sets
Forgive me for being a blog slacker! I don’t know why every year May seems to be so busy for me! Anyways, I wanted to share the Mother’s Day notecard sets I made for my Mom, Mother In Law, and Sister In Law. I got this notecard holder idea from my upline and thought it would be a perfect gift for Mother’s Day!
For each set, I made the notecard holder and then a matching set of cards and envelopes to put inside. The cards are the same for each set, but I used different sentiments for each card so my recipients would have cards to use for different occasions.
These were really fun to make! They were a bit time consuming at first, but after I finished the first one, I got the hang of it, I was able to make the rest pretty fast! The hardest part for me was deciding what patterned paper combo to use!
Thanks for checking in and have a great day!
Another Mother’s Day Card
Here’s another card I made for Mother’s Day! For this one I used the One of a Kind stamp set along with the Berry Bliss DS paper – two of my new favorites! The “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment is by Amuse. This card is pretty straight forward. I used Purely Pomegranate and Chocolate Chip to match the DS paper.
I am grateful for being able to spend Mother’s Day with my Mom. I wish all the mothers an early Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day Card
Here’s another card I made for Mother’s Day. I always have a bunch of people to make Mother’s Day cards for and I like to make a different one for each person. For this card, I used the Circle of Friendship & One Of A Kind sets and the Ginger Blossoms DS Paper. I used a bunch of punches for this card also: the Marvey Mega Scallop Circle, SU Scallop, 1 3/8″ circle, 1″ Circle, Photo Corner, & 1/2″ circle punches. The other accessories: Chocolate Chip Grosgrain, Silver Mini Brads, White Gel Pen, & Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This was a fun card to make!
Dahlia Fold Flower Card
The Dahila Fold isn’t a new technique, but it’s the first time I tried it. I started working on my Mother’s Day cards and I thought one of these flowers would look pretty! To learn how to make this, click here for a tutorial. That’s it for now, have a great day!
Dare To Be Fabulous
I forgot to share with the project I made for SoCal Stamp Mania 5! I made it with one of my favorite sets in the Stampin’ Up catalog, Fabulous Flowers. To start the card, I inked up my So Swirly wheel with Soft Sky and rolled it on Whisper White to make my background. Then I ticket cornered the corners. I stamped the flower with Purely Pomegranate x3 and then punched them out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch which is nested on black punched with the 1 3/8″ punch. The circles are adhered with dimensionals and then the sentiment is stamped.
