Another Stamp Camp card today...

Don't you just love this saying and I have to be honest...
I bought A Dozen Thoughts just because of this stamp.  Silly, right?? NO WAY!!
The rest of the set is AMAZING too!

 Yes, this is a slightly off center gate card. 
Our inside has just three flowers decorated with Candy Dots.

The 'just because' side is slightly wider then the Back to Black DSP side.
Yes, that was planned for more room to secure the phrase.


Here is some news!! 
The date for the next Stamp Set Stamp Camp has been set.  What is that you ask?? This is when a stamp set and 5 projects get to all go home with you!!

What is the stamp set you ask?? Gorgeous Grunge.

Here are the basics:
Dates - Sun, Aug 3 or Mon, Aug 4 both at noon central time.
Cost - Wood mount $30, Clear mount $23 or if you have the set already $15. The signup ends on Fri, July 25.  This is so I can have all the stamps here on time!!

Any questions contact me!!

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!!

Happy Easter!!

I would like to show you my Easter Basket...

The layered background was embossed using Scalloped Textured Impressions from the Occasions book. 

 and a very decorated Easter Egg...

Petite Petal Punch that add just a pop of color.

Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon is a Perfect Big ribbon.  

I used the the Oval Framelits and the largest is a Scallop Oval.

You can see the "hinge", how do you get that you ask... Well if you let the framelit hang over the side just enough you will get that hinge.

You know when you get something done and you think all day about what you should have done?? Well that is what I was doing Friday.  I did not like the empty inside and was pondering what to put on the inside... WELL it needed a bunny butt.

The picture is poor here (sorry!!), but wanted to show you how cute it is.. just using the small oval punch and yes, the petite petal punch for ears.

I hope you enjoyed this weekends cards!!

Happy Easter.

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

April '14

This weekend We are going to take a look at some more

Masculine

type cards... Today this one is intended as a Birthday card.

The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a great and versatile set to own!!

using the leaves to make my own patterned paper,

the candy dots in the corners,

and the different sized Window Frames .

dimensional two layers (still mailable) and its the perfect card. 

Enjoy your Saturday!! Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Paper Pumpkin ... Feb '14

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO GET YOUR

FREE MARKERS!!

  Today's post is using Feb '14 Paper Pumpkin.  

The gift bags!! I LOVE them, they are better then ANY store bought bag!!

**WARNING.... WARNING** I made this one my own right from the get go.

The seam binding ribbon is not thick enough to just knot at each end so... making the ribbon a little longer and tying them together you are able to use any ribbon you want. 

You can even stamp on the bags..the Flowering Flourishes worked perfectly.  Adding my favorite punch, petite petal and a candy dot you get a great flower.  The pearls added just a little more pretty.

Sneaky right??

The lace ribbon and flower are from the Artisan Embellishment Kit that is available on the Clearance Rack.

The gold baker's twine goes beautifully with the gold glimmer paper used on the back of the "welcome" circle.  The clothes pin comes with the Paper Pumpkin kit, but I could have used gold ones here too (in the occasions catalog).  

This bag is special for me because I have a new niece due any minute... Remember my little butterfly girl?? She is getting a sister..

Seeing as the card was made prior to receiving this Paper Pumpkin I used the same colors and a few of the same elements to match.  SSssshhhh, don't tell Mindy!!

Okay enough teasing here is how it turned out...

 

Just beautiful!! Perfect for that new little girl!!

Well, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a Great day getting Crafty!!
