CS 48T–lace

 

All designer papers, I didn’t even stamp this card.

I did dye the lace to match with a re-inker.

Happy Birthday Sally

Sally and I are cousins, the same age and we grew up together.  We have great memories, and still get together either in New Hampshire or in Florida and still have a great time together.  Last year I gave her one of my cookbooks as a present and I didn’t think I could top that, but I came close with this one.

I hope you enjoy it also, you have to read her card to understand the gift.

Here is the flip book, just black on both sides, If you open it from either side you will still be looking at a first page of a book, one side is the “Good Little Boy” and on the other side is the “Bad Little Boy” written by Mark Twain.

I used my new stamp set with a Peacock Feather, hope you like it.

I know it doesn’t show, but there is about 8 different colors in each feather.

Fancy Folds #3

 

This is a swing card, and it stands up very nice.

One side is purple with white polka-dots.

Another flower using my new punch, this time I only peeled back one side so the flower would lay (almost) flat on the card.

And the back is green with purple, yellow and pink.

Fancy folds #2

 

In Thursday Card Class the ladies made this card, but they all created a card for fall, using other papers.

You untie the ribbon and open up the card to find a secret message inside.

This one says “Hello”

fancy folds

This is called a step card.

I bought a new punch this week, they just came out about 2 weeks ago.  It is a flower punch, but it cuts a strip that you roll up and then peel back and make a flower.   The pink flower on the left is made with my new punch.

Creative Sketches CS 45 H

 

Holiday!  Halloween!! 

I had fun making the haunted house and the spider, the designer paper looks like shingles, but now that I look closer I see some of the roof is up-side-down.  Oh Well…it is a haunted house!  In the windows are plastic pieces to make it look like glass, and the door is a piece I heat embossed a long time ago and saved for someday, I guess today was the day. I don’t have a happy Halloween stamp so I stamped Happy Everything.

I hope you like it!

Thursday’s Card Class

 

cards021

 

The flower is made from the scalloped oval punch (6 pieces), then sprayed with Fabreze until moist, then crimple them and dry with heat gun.  Push a brad through all pieces at center and fluff till you like it.  The card smells really good, image your friends surprise when she open up a card and finds a beautiful flower that smells good too.
