Happy Anniversary


Good afternoon!  Today's project was done for a 50th anniversary party for one of my customers.  I used the Scalloped Bag die(retired) to cut them out.  The numbers were cut with the Timeless Type Sizzlits using Brushed Gold card stock.  They are using a Western theme with burlap and bandannas so I decided to see if the 7/8 Trim could be diecut without falling apart.  I used the smallest banner to die cut and it worked.




And here they are all lined up ready to packed.  Thanks for stopping by!

Burlap Wreath # 2


Good morning!  Nothing to do with stamping but I LOVE making these wreaths.  This one was a little less messy since it isn't actually burlap, it has a finish on it and doesn't shed all those little bits and doesn't ravel.  I was going to have these for sale at my next craft show but have already got orders for 5 so I probably won't have time to make more for the craft show.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thankful for You


Good morning!  Most of the time I am making cards for a class or for a customer but today's card is a just because I wanted to.  I used the Magnificent Maple stamp available in the Holiday catalog and stamped it in Daffodil Delight, Calyspo Coral, and Coastal Cabana and then cut them out by hand.  The DSP is from Eastern Elegance and Etcetera and was  cut with one of the dies from Chalk Talk. I used Banner Greetings(hostess set) for the sentiment. Thanks for stopping by!

Beware

 
Good morning!  I love the new Thinlit Card dies.  For this card I used the Label Thinlit.  The stamp set is called Halloween Bash and is available in the Holiday Mini catalog.  The bats are from the retired bat punch.

Here is the inside.  I cut it so that it makes a full size card(8 1/2 x 5 1/2).  Thanks for stopping by!

Warmth and Wonder


Good morning!  Today's card was made with the Thinlits Circle Card die, these aren't in a current catalog yet but are available to order(see the info below).  I love to make cards with unusual folds or cards that have movement but they are a lot of work and they don't always turn out so good...but this die takes all the work out of it. The die cuts and scores so that all you have to do is decorate it.   There is also another die available, the Thinlit Label, which works the same way.  Look at all the extra little dies you get as well.  They are $32.95 each and you can order them by going to my website here and clicking on the shop icon in the upper right corner of the page.

O Holy Night

 
Good morning! Today's card is for my August Christmas card class.  I love this stamp and I know already it will be the one I use for our family Christmas card this year.  I used Midnight Muse card stock and the sentiment is mounted onto Silver Glimmer paper.  Thanks for stopping by!

Many Thanks


Good morning!  Today's card is the last one for my August Spotlight class with the stamp set Harvest of Blessings and my favorite of the three.  The leaf is from Gently Falling and the DSP is from Sweater Weather.  The card stock colors are Pool Party, Tangerine Tango, and Chocolate Chip. 

I have had several people ask about the carryover Christmas stamps.  These sets are not in any current catalog but are still available....Evergreen, Jewish Celebrations, More Merry Messages, Ornament Keepsake, and Snowflake Soiree.

Festive Flurry


Good Monday morning!  Today is first day of school for my girls but more than that it is first day of High School for my Shelby.  She was a nervous wreck this morning, I heard her shower running before 6:00.  Today's card is one we will make at my Christmas Card class for August.  I used the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching framelit die for the snowflake.  The DSP is from the Winter Frost collection.  Thanks for stopping by!
