Happy Mother's Day


Today is a day we thank our Mother's for all they have done for us.  All the sacrifices, the tears and hard work they have gone through to bring us were we are today!!

I am sad today, because I can not go see my Mom or my Son.
Well, my poor car finally decided that over 200,000 miles was just enough.  So to find a "new to me" car, the saga begins.  I really HATE car shopping!! 
Anyway.... back to our female role model that taught us what to do and not to do to get through each day.... And bring us to where we are today.

Can you see it??
Here is a closer picture..




using the new Fancy Foil Designer Vellum you are able to create a "window" to see the inside.




Happy Mother's Day, Ladies!!



Using the gold bakers twine you can actually "pull" out the gold and it looks like thread.

Note the notches on the sides to hold the twine in place.



    


This card is definitely one you can mail.


Dontcha, just love the little gold hearts??


I know this looks like the one from stamp camp, right??  To be honest I received a store bought card for my birthday and it had a vellum overlay.  This is what inspired this card.





Yes, I did, using the new Heart punch from the itty bitty pack.  That acts as a way to open the front.

Using the hearts from the My Mother set to add a design to the background.


Mom, I love you!! 
I hope everyone is treated like 1 in a million today!!

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Ohh wait, I almost forgot!

May Stamp Camp

Flowers and Folds Stamp Camp
day Six

Today, its all NEW In-Colors and NEW stamps!!
Ohh yea, NEW Ribbon and NEW Ink!!



The stamp set is called Work of Art.  It is beautiful!!
This is the inside of our last card.


All the stamps used here are from the Work of Art set.


The "You" is heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

Isn't this blue... Lost Lagoon, dreamy.

The yellow is .... Hello Honey.






And yes, the front stands up.  A friend called it an Anniversary Fold, because I made a card like it for my Hubby for our Anniversary.

The message was originally a "secret". 

The ribbon was a way to know that it opened.



Ohhh, did I say NEW DSP too??

May Stamp Camp

Flowers and Folds Stamp Camp
day five

  
 Today's card had inspiration... but first the fold.  
I love an Easel fold.  How about the different look of a side easel??
 Above is what it looks like opened up(from the back).  



The inspiration for this card was from Dawn's Stamping Studio...
I loved her card, and thought it was just BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you, Dawn for ALL your inspiration!!

Dawn used Crumb Cake and I wanted color but still simple... with just a dash of pretty.



Ruffled Ribbon, New Thick Bakers twine and sparkle of Rhinestones..... 

Did you see the NEW cute little flower punch again??




Here is how the card looks from the front "Open".  

Note: no sentiment.. why you ask?? I just could not find one that fit. But, the other reason is which way do you put it?? 

 Question?? Do you always need a sentiment??

Weekly Deals.. May 6




Here is this weeks extra trouble!!

May Stamp Camp

Flowers and Folds Stamp Camp
day 4

Here is how things started after Lunch


You know I had to use my FAVORITE punch!! The Petite Petal Punch!!
Do you see our NEW flower?? Isn't it cute??
That is part of the NEW Itty Bitty Punch pack.



Here is the Chevron Punch doubled up!! Before you punch, stamp using the Hardwood stamp.  That is what added the wood look.  Add some branches from the Bird Punch and even a wing as a leaf.  



I know you are getting upset because you want to see the whole thing, this one is my favorite so a little teasing is only in my nature. 



You will need dimensionals, so you can put the leaves and even the flowers under/ around the "trellis" or section of lattice. 



Have you picked which one is your favorite so far??




 It was just too pretty to put anything else.  
The Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango are Watercolor Wonder DSP.  
The Real Red and Perfect Plum are cardstock stamped, then punched out.

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

May Stamp Camp

Flowers and Folds Stamp Camp
day three


 Using more Watercolor Wonder DSP, is the outside of this card.
Have you used the Envelope Punch Board?? 
This is my first creation with my NEW board.  I have to say there are a few things to do with this. Look for future projects in coming weeks!



 
A triple layer of the Blossom Punch. Just a touch of the Gorgeous Grunge on all three layers.  

Centered with a Candy Dot covered brad.
 


 


Pull out the inner card and the top looks like this.  At the Catalog Premiere the ribbon cut out was HUGE.

 More Gorgeous Grunge under the ribbon and behind the sentiment.

Okay, here is where you see that I make mistakes too.  Look at the Hello can you see the shadow? Yup, I used smokey slate first and it wasn't dark enough....so black Staz-On to the rescue.



And here is your pair, the Daffodil Delight card fits perfectly, matches perfectly, inside the envelope, you made.

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Is this your favorite?? let me know!!

May Stamp Camp


Flowers and Folds Stamp Camp 
day two

Today's card was actually the card the Campers Started with, yesterday's was second.




I just love the Watercolor Wonder DSP!! 
It is so simple and pretty, without being too much.
I will miss Midnight Muse and Gumball Green, but the new In Colors are sure pretty.






The Tag Topper cards are the all the rage, so I figured that the campers would enjoy learning this one...

Organza Ribbon is an added pretty.







Is this your favorite??
