A Wish with Clout

I used this card as a make & take at a crop I attended last Friday evening.  The ladies loved making it.  It is just a very classy card filled with meaning.  I hope it will brighten the day of the recipients.  We also made this card at my June Stamp Camp.

Rev Up the Fun

A few weeks ago I took a weekend road trip to the prairie with my peeps to visit my upline, Pam D'Urso in Mahomet, IL.   We always have such a great time together and I always learn an abundance of tricks and techniques when I'm with them.  We had a shoebox exchange and the theme was to create a one-layer card.  This was a super challenge for me as I'm a layer gal.  Love those layers!

Anyway, this card was designed by Sally Nusbaum.  I was anxious to use the new Rev Up the Fun stamp set so I adapted her card to make it my own (so to speak).   I created 7 masks and used purple painters tape to navigate through the sponging process.  Each mask was labeled and numbered to make this card super easy for my customers. 

This a great card for any Harley Guy. 

Watch for my shoebox card in a few weeks.  (I'm holding out as it is going to be featured at my July Stamp Camp.)

Vintage Time

This is been a really busy time for me but wanted to get a card posted.  This is a beautious design by Carolyn King who I just love to copy.  A sentiment from Tiny Tiny Wishes with the Word Window punch will work for many occassions.  Everything was sponged with Crumb Cake except the clock.

If my Grandma was still with us, this would be her card.

Don’t Light the Sky

Love the Best of Birthdays stamp set especially this one.  It’s perfect for those in my age bracket.  We don’t want to light the sky or anything.  I added paper piercing to Mary Fish’s design.

Make a Wish

The delightful color pallet of the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper is so much fun to mix and match.  To achieve the Shirley Temple curls, I used a long screwdriver wrapping the ribbon around it and heating it with the heat tool.  Be careful doing this because the ribbon will melt.  I learned the hard way.
