Cutie Pie Card Box

 

Yesterday was a great stamping day.  Susan came over with the instructions for a box designed by Dannie Graves.  We each made a box.  This is a box that holds cards.  You can keep it for yourself or you can give it as a gift.   I had a class using the Cutie Pie Designer Paper, so I filled my box with cards.

I thought the box might be difficult to make, but it was super easy.  Come over and make one yourself.  All you need is Cutie Pie paper and 3 sheets of coordinating 12 X 12 cardstock.  I used Rose Red and Brocade Blue.  I will have my July classes on my calendar soon.  Join us and make some cards and a box too.

I have clubs going every month.  Interested?  Email me.  We make 2 projects every month.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Blessings,  Martha

Sympathy Card

Le Jardin is the most beautiful designer series paper made by Stampin' Up.  I made this simple but lovely sympathy card for a friend who lost her Mother.  The only stamping I did was the verse on the front and a verse and image of flowers on the inside.  I used the Close as a Memory set.  This is a very fast card, but the paper makes it just gorgeous.

Convention is next month.  I am preparing to make swaps to trade with other stampers.  We always have a good time and learn a lot of new techniques.  Come stamp with me.

Die Cut Blooms

This is a simple card.  I used the Die Cut Blooms.  I made leaves by folding cardstock in half and putting it through my crimper.  Then I cut the shape of a leaf out of the crimped cardstock.

Everyone has been making buttons out of the designer paper and the circle punches.  You can make any size. Just punch out and stick to wax paper using a glue dot. Apply Crystal Effects all over  the circle and allow to dry overnight.  You have som very cut buttons for your cards.  Your turn to try it.

Fresh Cuts

This stamp set is turning out to be a favorite of mine.  I made this monochromatic card using Stampin' Up!'s Le Jardin designer paper and Always Artichoke ink.  The stamp set is a sneek peek set called Fresh Cut.  This is a great all occasion card that you can make in 5 minutes.  Later

Nemo Pop-Up card

My grandson is sick today.  He has strept throat.  He came down stairs in his Nemo slippers.  I decided to make a card with Nemo.  This is a birthday pop-up card.  I punched the top of the card with the circle punch and then took the white craft pad and used the direct to paper method to highlight the top of the waves.  Then I used Dazzling Diamonds on the crest of the waves to give it some sun glistening.  On the inside, I fixed Nemo so he could jump when the card is opened.  I hope you like my idea.I

Fresh Cuts 3

WOW  this is fun making cards with the Fresh Cut Notes. I used the Riot of Petals for the background and stamped it in Always Artichoke.  I added some stamping with the Fresh Cuts set.  How do you like it?

Fresh Cuts 2

Here is another card made with the Fresh Cut notes and stamp set.  I used the 5 petal punch which coordinates perfectly with the note cards.

Fresh Cut Card 1

Stampin' Up! has given us a "sneek peek" of one stamp set and the coordinating notes.  Currently the notes are on sale when you purchase the stamp set Fresh Cuts.  You may order this gorgeous set from me until June 30.  I will have more cards samples tomorrow because I am really enjoying using the notes and the stamp set. If you would like to order this set and note cards, send me a  email.  Have a beautiful day.

Father's Day Fish Card

Here is the second card the children made today.  I used the retired set Fishin'.  I love some of the retired sets and I still use them when the time is right. My son Jason, lives to fish so I use this set often on scrapbook pages and cards for him.  Too bad it is not still for sale.   Enjoy!

Father's Day Card

Today I had some children come over to make Father's Day cards.  They made some beautiful cards.  It was pretty obvious how much they loved their Dad.  Our cards were simple.  We  used River Rock as our base cardstock and layered on Chocolate Chip and used some retired Designer paper.  We stamped the puppy in the shoe - isn't he cute?  All Dads love puppies.  Joe, my husband, loves the section of the newspaper that shows the homeless puppies.  He would adopt them all if he could.

They colored the image and tied the poly-twill ribbon around the cardstock.  We stamped the happy Dad's day and punched it out with the Designer Label punch.  They decorated the inside of the card.  Hunter even wrote a poem in his card.  I hope you will make some Father's Day cards soon.  Father's Day is June 15, so there is still time.
