Window Slider Card!

This was so much fun to make!  I'm having trouble embedding the video, but you can click here and see it.   I messed up the first one I tried, but I'm very happy with this one!  This technique is definitely going to be a hit with my Hostess Club girls!  A big THANKS to Dawn Griffith for the inspiration!

Card in a box!

My sister came to visit and we've had a ball stamping in my studio!  We made a "card in a box" and we're really pleased with the way they turned out!  There's a white panel on the back where you write your message.

What's so cool about these cards is that they lay flat, so you can put them in an envelope and easily mail them!  Here's what it looks like folder flat, half in an envelope:

Stamps:  Delightful Dozen, Flower Shop
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana (on back)
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, 2013 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories:  Pansy Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Stampin' Trimmer

Sweet Sorbet Starburst!

I love the new decorator paper in the Sale A Bration catalog called Sweet Sorbet!  I just started playing with it this morning and I love how soft and pretty it is.  I used the Starburst technique and made this beauty:

Frog Punch Art!

I have a friend who loves frogs!  After going through the Stampin' Up! catalog, she asked me to make her a frog card using Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, and Melon Mambo.  This is what I came up with! 

I hope she likes it!  I also added a white candy dot to the center of the flower. 

Winter Insert for Frame!

I've gotten some major crafting done today!  I made a Winter insert for my frame and am already thinking about what I want in my Spring themed insert!  These are lots of fun to make, especially considering the frame costs $3 and most of the materials came out of my scrap bags!

Valentine's Day Framed Artwork!

I've had this frame for awhile and wanted to make some seasonal inserts to display throughout the year.  I started today with Valentine's Day and I couldn't be more pleased!  This was so much fun to make!

Stamping with my girl!

I love having some special crafting time with my 8 year old!  Sometimes she loves it, sometimes she doesn't.  Luckily, today was one of those days she loved it!  I had a frame leftover from a class I had last year, so my daughter picked out some decorator paper and embellishments and made this cute frame for her room.

What a cutie!  Here are the supplies she used:
Paper:  Polka Dot Parade, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Daffodil Delight, Red Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Rich Razzleberry Stitched Grosgrain ribbon, Rhinestones, Pearls, Owl punch, Real Red 1/8" ribbon, Punch Pack
