FYI

It's the start of a new year & it's so cold outside.  Why not take a couple of hours away from the tv or computer and make some All Occassion cards that will be ready to send at a moment's notice.  No need to hit the card store on your way home from work. 

First, pick a stamp set similar to FYI, select a piece of DSP and pull out matching cardstock.  Use the same color or a variety like I did.  However, this will take longer.  Use a simple sketch with maybe just 3 elements to it.  In my cards you'll see the FYI sentiment on a punched piece of cs, a button, and a scalloped edge. 

The scalloped edge is easy, I just used my 3/4" circle punch!  The card size is 3" x 5-1/2" ( I used 8-1/2" x 11" cs).  If you have 12" x 12", I would suggest making your cards 3" x 6".  That way you get the most out of your cs.  Our Small Open-End Envelopes are the perfect size for these. 

The verse on the inside is different on each one.  You can see a list of those below.  I'll show you the inside of just one of the cards.  I was getting tired at this point so my verses were not straight.  Oh well. 

Recipe:

DSP - Sweet Pea

CS - Taken With Teal, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Rose Red, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Rich Razzleberr, and Pretty in Pink

Punches - Curly Label, 3/4" Circle, 3/8" Corner Rounder, Scalloped Edge

Accessories - Dimensionals

Buttons - Fresh Favorites II, Clear

Classic Ink - Chocolate Chip

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For You Grandma

I'm not sure if I have posted this card before.  Grandma has a hard time hearing on the phone, so I try to follow up our calls with a letter and one of my cards. 

I'm working on 8 cards for you, but was unable to finish them tonight, so you can look forward to seeing those tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by, I do appreciate it.

I'm starting to feel creative again so I chose this week's card sketch at Splitcoaststampers.com.  I also wanted to show some of my new toys.  Love the paper & the punches!

Congratulations

I made this card sometime ago so I'll do my best with the recipe.  The janitor at my church recently retired and I wanted to send him a card.  Such a nice guy.  Besides Pastor, Leroy and I were the only ones who drank coffee.  He likes 6 sugar packets per small styrofoam cup of coffee!  Egads.

Birthday Celebrations!

Last weekend Lisa & I attended a class given by our fellow demos Kathy & Monique and it was all about birthday celebrations.  One of my favorite holidays!  They provided 8 different designs & you could make as many as you wanted for only $1 per card.  What a great idea!  And fun!!!  I chose to make one of each.  Finished them in about 1 1/2 hours & had plenty of time to chit chat, too.  (chuckling to myself)
