CONSIDER THIS CASED!

 I apologize that I can't remember where I saw this card and who created it.  I absolutely love the design and I will try and locate maker so I can give them credit for it.   Again, the new Twitterpated designer paper was used along with the Bird Builder punch.  Very fun card...I hope you like it.

QUILTED GREETING CARDS

Here are two cards I created using the Everyday Enchantment designer paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, and the Twitterpaded paper from the Occasions Mini catalog.  Each square was punched out using the postage stamp punch and arranged on the card in a quilted pattern. Adding a little Pleated Satin ribbon, a Hat Pin and a verse finishes the card off perfectly.  I think I'll send them to two special friends. 

TEA SHOPPE

This past weekend I made this card at my adopted up-line Linda Heller's stamping get together.  We used the new Tea Shoppe stamp set from the new Occasions Mini catalog and the lovely Twitterpated designer paper which is also in the new Occasion Mini.     We cut a slit at the top of the tea cup and tucked a tea bag down inside.  Such a fun card to give to a best friend.

SWEETS FOR MY VALENTINE

 Do you love the new Twitterpated designer paper as much as I do?  I think it is absolutely beautiful and so fun to use on so many different products.  For this project I covered a soup can with Twitterpated paper and used a piece of Stitched-Poly-Ribbon for the bow. Stampin' Up's! cute little cellophane bags are perfect for the M & M's, and I used the new P.S. I Love You stamp set from the new Occasions mini.

TWITTERPATED DESIGN PAPER

This new pack of designer series paper in the new Occasion Mini catalog is so beautiful.  For this card I used two different designs, and I also used the new Hearts Collection Framelits Dies that is also in the new Occasion Mini.  These dies are so fun and easy to use.  Six dies come in this set neatly layered inside each other.

BLOSSOM BUILDERS

I love the new Blossom Builders Kit in the new Occasion Mini catalog on page 18.  These die-cut flowers are double-sided for double the fun, and printed on textured paper.  Mix and match and layer as many blooms as you like.  This set is perfect for quick and easy card making when you are in a hurry and you need a "Get Well" or "Happy Birthday" greeting card.  Also perfect to adorn your scrapbook pages. A page of thirty rhinestones in two different sizes is included in the set.  Order yours today and see what I mean about fun, quick and easy! http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/jillhadley

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

I didn't start 2012 out as planned.  I've been sick with the flu and bronchotis for the past two weeks, and I'm still not completely over it but I'm feeling a whole lot better than I was a week ago.


I totally missed posting about the new Occasions Mini Catalog that debut Jan. 4.  It is full of absolutely gorgeous new stamp sets, designer paper, buttons, ribbons and lots more. You don't want to miss seeing it.  You can click on the Mini Catalog on my side bar to view each page at your leisure.

HAPPY 2012!!!

I hope you had a very happy and safe New Year celebration.  What do you have planned for 2012?  Do you make resolutions, or have a plan to get organized and promise to accomplish more this year?  Lose weight, work less and play harder?  I don't make resolutions.  New Year resolutions seem like more added pressure we just don't need to start the year off with.  However, I do try and make a general plan on how I would like to see the first quarter of the year look like. For example, I've already started my "To Do List" of things I want to get accomplished in the next couple months.  As the weeks and months go on I will report in and let you know how many things I have been able to cross of my "To Do List".  Happy New Year!!

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES!!

Here are just a few pictures I took over the past couple weeks of our Christmas.  We spent time with family, and friends,  and spent a fun evening at the Magic Kingdom where we enjoyed rides, food and laughs.  Christmas Eve was spent at home having a lovely dinner and presents, and Christmas Day was spent with my husbands family.  I hope you had a very Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanukkah.

HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYONE!!

I've been MIA since Thanksgiving because I've been so dare busy getting ready for Christmas.  Wow, did I really say that?  "Getting ready for Christmas".  Christmas isn't for three more weeks, but yet there is always so much to do.  Shopping, buying the Christmas tree, decorating, card making, baking, and more.  Today we got all our outside lights and decorations on the house, and tomorrow I plan to start unpacking the inside decorations.  Here are some fun signs of the season.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

HAPPY SNOWMEN!!

Fortunately we do not have real snowmen in Florida, however I still love them and think they are always so cute.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Isn't rudolph cute?  He was created using the Large Oval punch, and the small circles are from the Owl Builder Punch.  Simple, easy peasy!!

I used the Bells & Boughs stamp set for the second card.  The designer paper is last years paper but still beautiful.  I also used the Champagne Glass Glitter around the edges to give this card a more elegant look.

CHRISTMAS IS IN THE AIR!!

SEASONS GREETINGS GIFT CARD

Consider this CASED!  The very talented Sandi MacIver created this fantastic gift card holder idea using the Welcome Christmas stamp set. I used the very popular Top Note Bigz Dies for this card holder and the new Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper. 

CHRISTMAS COLLAGE

I know I posted this card a year ago, but I love this stamp so much and just had to post this card again.  This is just one single rubber stamp, but has so many possibilities for card making.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Consider is partially CASED!  From the fabulous Sandi Maciver.  I love how this card turned out.  I used Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink, Frostwood Lodge designer paper from the Holiday Mini, page 28.  The Merry Christmas stamp came from the new Hand-Penned Holidays stamp set.

SNOW MUCH FUN

 I think Snow Much Fun is the cutest holiday stamp set!!  It can be found on page 35 of the Stampin' Up! catalog.  For this card I used the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Snow Burst on page 33 of the Holiday Mini catalog for the background, Cherry Cobbler card stock, the new Quilted Satan Ribbon on page 30 of the new Mini. Enjoy!
