Forever & Always

Today's card is one of the last of eight cards/projects that I came up with using the Delicate Doilies Sizzlets Die.  I couldn't wait to post this one because it's one of my favorites. lol  Anyway, I had decided cut the blue doily out, put heat and stick powder on it, then dazzling diamonds to see if I liked it.  I did like it, but didn't know what I was going to do with the piece so I set it aside.  I finally decided to put it with all white and make it into a wedding card.  I also said I had wanted to start doing some sketch challenges again and thought this card would be perfect for the SU-Only Fancy Frills challenge.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Book Markers and Boxes...

Well, it's been a while since I've posted regularly.  Let's see if I can break that habit and get into the swing of things again.  The rest of this week and into next week I'll be posting a couple of pics each day of the things I made for my upline's open house.  I made eight things using the new Serene Silhouettes set and eight using the new Delicate Doilies Sizzlet, so that will give me a few days worth of posts.  Now let's see if I can add a sketch challenge in here every now and then too.  I wanted to make something more than just cards so I started with a set of book markers using each of the stamps along with sayings from a few other sets that are in the current catalog.


I know it's a little early for Christmas, but I wanted to copy something similar to what I made a while back using the Paper Doily die, but this one was smaller and much easier!  I made another ornament and box to put it in where you can see through the cover.  It takes a little bit of work, but it wasn't difficult at all.  





Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, it's Father's Day today and what did I forget to do?  Give my dad his card yesterday because he's gone today!  I can't believe I did that, but it's too late now.  :(  So now on to today's Red Hot Stamper's card.  It's far from a Father's Day card though. lol  I really liked this sketch because I was able to quickly figure out and make what I wanted.  I did flip it though because that's what looked better with the set I used.  To see a few other cards with this sketch click here.

Yup, you know it's Sunday because I'm finally posting again for another Red Hot Stamper's Sketch challenge.  I had to think a little bit for today's card, but I knew I wanted it to be for a bridal shower because my niece is here from out of state and we have a shower for her today.

Today's card is for another Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge.  It's a good thing I have these challenges or I might only get around to posting something once a month! lol  Anyway, I finally got around to buying a few new stamps sets...even though they aren't "new" they're new to me and in the 2012-2013 catalog! :)  And this is the first one I dug into.  Check out a few other cards with this design at the Red Hot Stamper's blog here.

Lovely as a Tree Father's Day Card

Today's card is another one I did for my May stamp a stack and not only did this set stay in the new catalog, but starting June 1 you can also purchase it as a clear mount!  Yes, I LOVE the clear mount stamps...so much easier to see what you're stamping.  Anyway, I was busy checking out cards for ideas when I saw this card from Tamie.  I liked it so much I had to case it...I just changed the colors.  You can check out her card and visit her blog here.
