Shutter card for friend's Birthday

Used the sets, Age Awareness and Starburst Sayings...on this shutter card...also used the brayered paper...the set that is free in  the SAB book....and the incolor DSP    and the chevron punch...

 Happy Day is glued on left half only on the front flap...

used the itty bitty butterfly and the petite petals on the other part..

 added rhinestones here and there...

 Happy Birthday just fit in the middle flap...will put the dimensions of card on in the am....this used an 8.5 x 11 paper whereas some of the other shutter cards use the 12x12..

 the whole card laying flat....

 some more closeups....

 will do a card similar to this for my class...will post that later....same color combination...just a few changed....

4x4 Easter card using the set For Peeps sake...

This is a card I gave to Orlando to send to his 4 grandchildren in New Jersey!  He was so cute and exact making up the baskets for them...the size was perfect....after I did the eyes in pearls...I thought I should have used the google eyes...think the kids would have liked that better...lol!!

Kinda Eclectic and Age Awareness

This first card is DIane's version of the card I did...she added a few feathers and made the corners larger....

not sure which I like better...lol

This is a cased card.....only changed one thing on this card...used Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss...a wonderful combination....

this is the gatefold closed

 Used the square collection and only glued one half of the square piece..

 centered and adhered it...

 then glued the opposite half of the smaller square...

 adhered it..

 and then added the top piece...although in class...I mentioned attaching the phrase piece before gluing the small square...

this is the inside....used the Moonlight DSP pack and the Age Awareness Happy Birthday...

Sweet Laughter (last of card ministry this month)

If this card were embossed with black, it would really pop....used retired coordination paper..

 simple Mother's Day card....Sweet Laughter from the Occ. Mini...

 Love the Happy Mother's Day font on this card

Mother's Day card using Indescribable Gift

Indescribable Gift has so many looks....will show you one later in the week...this is with watercolor paper using the aqua painter...would be gorgeous using the blender pen and aqua painter....

 close up...

 used wasabi for the leaves.....

New FLower Medallion Punch and Sweet Laughter

Although the coordination paper is retired...you could use the same technique on the DSP...ours has a layer of white in the middle....love this Happy Mother's Day stamp from Sweet Laughter..Used the colors that are about to retire in June...coastal cabana, Strawberry bliss and Cantalope ...will really miss the cantalope and cabana..

 

 Used the one inch punch and the 7/8 scallop circle and the tiny circle punch...rhinestone added..

A Happy Hooray Vintage

Love this Happy Hooray set....it is a wonderful feather...half of the feather is textured...great embossed...I did not come up with this....saw it in a swap....just changed the paper and colors....don't you just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Something Borrowed DSP #137785    If this ends up in the catalog...have a wonderful idea on how to use it...just makes me do a happy dance....lol

 and the lace in the mini is to die for...Sahara Sand 7/8 Lace Trim  #137866....and think of the vintage cards you could make...even if you are not into vintage...this would make some wonderful elegant cards.....

 Took the feather and embossed it with versamark and sahara sand on the top part of the bird....wonderful idea!!  The pearl eyeball is colored with our gold marker and the beak with a brown (espresso) marker......

Sheltering Tree

I would not be surprised if this set made it into the new catalog...Sheltering Tree is SO versatile....used the dazzling diamonds glitter paper and the soft sky and lagoon and silver encore ink..the paper is soft sky..

 The phrase was from And Many More stamp set...used the dotted embossing folder

St Patrick's Day using Chalk Talk and Gold Soiree DSP

The Gold Soiree DSP is gorgeous....will miss it when the new catalog comes out...used the Lovely Lace  Embossing folder and centered the flowers and punched with the Blossom and Pansy punch...

 Poled a hole in the center of the two and (used the daffodil seam binding) knotted it and took it to the back...knotted again and cut off the excess...popped up with dimensionals.

Age Awareness

So who wants to be aware of age...it is just how we feel that day ...right?  LOL...love this set....used pumpkin pie, pacific point , garden green and real red...and the wonderful Oval Collection

 Did not pop the flowers..just curled with a bone folder
