Custom Cards

So this is the time of year for thinking of those who aren't normally recognized. Like the mail person, teachers, the bus driver.  I know my kids bus driver has to deal with a lot on that bus. Crazy things happen on school buses. LOL.  So to recognize all that she does I made a custom card just for her.


I love this stamp set! It's in the big catalog on page 65 called Every Little Bit. I think this set would be great for doing inserts for the Simply Adorned too.


I got this set finally in the clear and I love how easy it is to use it. I wish it was all in one case though. It comes in two cases but  I think I figured out how to get them all into one case. You can pull out the paper inserts that tell you the name of the stamp set and show pictures of each stamp. Well just put one on the back and leave one on the front. So easy I'm sure. Will have to try it.

Amanda is having her birthday party today. Hope it doesn't rain. It's going to be cold though. Bundle up cowgirls and cowboys.

My neighbor just ordered this set and I showed her how to do exactly as you have done. Everything fits in one case! I do this with ALL the two case sets and then I have empty cases for the wood sets I buy (and then unmount, lol!)

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

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
