Stampin' For a Cause

Many of my friends make cards for birthdays, special occasions and Christmas. I do this also and sometimes I  make a new card even though I have 20 birthday cards ready to go. So I was thinking that I should donate my old handmade cards to the Ronald McDonald House in Mobile. Great idea right? So I thought I would extent the invitation to my friends to see if they wanted to donate cards too. I was floored by the amount of cards I got from Linda and Flora on Sunday. Here's just a sample of what they gave me. Amazing!


If you still want to donate some cards let me know. I can take them to the Mobile Ronald McDonald House.

Okay so did anyone send me a card for the challenge I posted? I think Becky did. Her card is awesome! Even my husband opened it up and said, "Wow!" Becky wins again ladies. Maybe this next month I'll have a challenge that will get more ladies involved. LOL. In fact I think since it's Ice Cream Appreciation Month I'll make it an Ice Cream themed card. I will not stiffle your creativity by saying you can only use Stampin' Up! But if you have the new stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog I'd love to see what you can make with that. :) Everyone that submits a card will be invited to an ice cream social at my house. Deadline for cards is July 31. Either send me a photo of your card or the card itself.  Here's the Stamp Set from the mini. Isn't it cute? My daughter wants me to get it for her.

Come back tomorrow to see Becky's patriotic card. Plus I'll be posting some great cards that my own two girls made. Unfortunately they can't enter the contest. Employees and family are exempt.

Happy Stampin'!

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Paper Pumpkin Kit - Father's Day!

Image
I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened. I have to say I'm so impressed now with this subscription that I feel it's worth more than the $19.95 that it costs. I look forward to every month and seeing the amazing product that it includes. One thing they improved most on was the quality of paper. I now feel this is something that is worthy of the Stampin' Up! name. Envelopes and cardstock ar...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
