The Open Sea Masculine Bday - Modified Case

I saw a similar card on either Pinterest or Splitcoaststampers.com but can not locate it again to give the person credit, so I truly apologize.   I made a few small changes but the card is very similar to the other card.    

This is a great Masculine Birthday card, but can easily be made into a Father's Day or Thank You by changing the Sentiment.   This is a super easy card to create!   I love how the Square and Postage Stamp punches coordinate.  Remember to stamp the Open Sea images prior to punching with the postage stamp punch!! :)  

I hope you like my Project!

Thinking of You - Sheltering Tree

Posting my last sample for my upcoming classes.   I am really hoping the weather forecast isn't true, calling for snow this weekend!! :(   

I feel in love with the Sheltering Tree stamp set the moment I laid eyes on it.  Another stamp set that has so many possibilities and very versatile.   I love the sentiments that come with the stamp set as well.   Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you can use one stamp set to create a card?!?!?  :)  

    

Hope you like my project!! 

I CASE'd the background technique from a video posted by Patty Bennett.   She saw the technique demonstrated at Leadership this year.   You use the back of the photopolymer stamp to create the background and use the stamp to add the details.   BRILLIANT!!!  

Here is the video posted by Patty Bennett!

Sending Wishes Your Way CYCI#57

Here is another sample for my upcoming February classes.  I just LOVE the Butterfly Basics/Butterfly Thinlits bundle in the Occasional Catalog.    The versatility in the stamp set as well as the thinlits (largest thinlit is 4 3/8" x 3 1/2") are mind-blowing.    The smallest butterfly thinlit coordinates with the larger butterfly stamp.   The Bitty Butterfly punch coordinates with the smaller butterfly stamp. 

Working with the Clean and Simple #57 Challenge from Can you Case It Blog! 

Hope you like my Project!

Love is Kindness Thank You! FMS173

Got a lot of samples made today in the craft room and SUPER excited about it.   This sample is the 1st for my February classes I am having next weekend.    Working with the Sketch Challenge from Freshly Made Sketches Blog.    Super versatile and love the angle of the image in the front. 

I am using the Love is Kindness Stamp from the Occasional Catalog.   I omitted the sentiment on the stamp for this card, even though I love it ("The essence of love is kindess - Robert Louis Stevenson"). I also love the technique that Stampin Up! displayed on page 32 of the Occasional Catalog.  They used the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper with some twine and covered the stamped image of the newspaper.   Super cute and adds dimension to the card.  

I hope you enjoy my project!

Valentine Matchbook Treat Holders

I saw this idea on Pinterest -- posted by "thestampdoc" and HAD to make them.   They were extremely easy to make and hold just enough candy to give out to friends.   Made about 60 of these for my boys to hand out at school and neighborhood friends for Valentine's.   

I did pull out my Retired Designer Series Paper for this project, but no one but you will know. . . LOL!!  

Here is the video that she made so you have the dimensions/instructions.   Enjoy!!!

3D Balloon Shaker Birthday Card MTS058

Good Afternoon All!    

I saw this 3D Balloon Shaker idea on Pinterest (posted by Kaitlyn Zumbach at Createwithkaitlyn).    This is my first attempt at her idea and I will continue to improve on the technique.   All you would need are the Balloon Framlits , Circle Framelits, Window Sheets, Snips and Glue Dots.   

I made this simple Birthday card with my 3D balloon for the Sketch Challenge over at Match the Sketch Blog.   If you were to mail this card, I would suggest a padded envelope so the 3D balloon does not get crushed and ruined.

I will continue to work on this card, was thinking about maybe adding some of the Calypso Coral Pompom Trim or Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim to it. . .  so many options!  :) 

I hope you like my project!
