Luke and Leia- My Annual Star Wars Birthday Card for my Grandson

Hey Guys!

Every year I stress trying to think of  a Star Wars card that I can make for Isaac, my Grandson.  This year I found a card on Pinterest by Carolina Evans, I changed it up quite a bit, but the characters are close to the same.

Here is my card:

The dies and punches I used are: Daisy Punch, Layering Oval Dies, Fox Builder, Classic Label and the Sparkle Folder….all by Stampin’ Up!

I got to Skype with Isaac when he opened his card!  He liked the card, but LOVED the $5.00 I put in there!  My daughter LOVED it and plans on framing ALL my cards for him.  Isaac is only 6, so I know that he really doesn’t think ‘ My Mimi spent a lot of time making this card for me’, he was happy to get the $$!!  LOL

So, I have a year to come up with another Star Wars card that uses Stampin’ Up! product!  That is my challenge every year.  I really want to do one with Kylo Ren, that is his favorite character.

Hope you enjoyed my Star Wars card, do a search in my blog to find the others I did!

Tea Together No Line Stamping

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a card I made in remembrance of my Mom.  All the women/girls in the family would meet up and have tea at a very upscale tea room!  This was our tradition.  When I saw the stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Tea Together I HAD to get it!  I saw online a LOT of cards featuring this set and the No Line technique. It was so pretty I decided to try it out myself!

Here is my take:

I made a video that you can see here.  This was a lot of fun once I got past the worry about doing it right!  I had to remind myself that it is just PAPER!  LOL

I used the Designer Series Paper All My Love to be a ‘table’ for my tea set.  Flirty Flamingo was used for the left  tea set, Mint Macaron for the right.  I felt as if I was an artist, and I really love how it came out!

After making these cards I wanted a Home Decor item that I can forever remember my Mom and all the good times we had.

The framed art I saw was by Sara Levin, here is her framed piece:

I only had an 8″ x 8″ frame so I made mine a little bigger.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and will come back again!

If you are living in the US and are in search of a SU! Demo I would love to work with you!  Below are pictures of what was used to make these projects, click on any picture below and you will be taken to my OnLine Store!

A NON Christmas Card using Farmhouse Christmas

Hey Guys!

I am so excited that as a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, that I get to purchase NEW items a month before they are available to the public!  I wanted to use them right away BUT didn’t necessarily want to do Christmas.  So, my dilemma……….how do I use these obvious Christmas sets and NOT have it be Christmas.

I got out the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set, decided to use the tree  AND the incredible fence!!  Did you see the fence!!??  I stamped the tree on Soft Suede using Early Espresso ink. This stamp set better stick around because I can use that fence for a lot of things!  Follow this link to see my video.

Isn’t it the cutest!!??  Not sure if you can see the Glitter snow in front of the fence, but in person it is very shiny and sparkly!  The tree has snow in all its crannies.  I used the Fine-Tip Glue pen to go over the white (used the chalk marker) and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over the wet glue.  I forgot how much I LOVE Dazzling Diamonds!  I will be getting that out a lot more.

I stamped the ‘Love You’ from the Enjoy Life stamp set using Versamark and white embossing powder.

I layered these onto a piece of Early Espresso, but before I layered these onto white I wrapped some Burlap Ribbon around and adhered a True Gentleman button in the middle.  If you look closely you can see a Rhinestone that I colored with the Bronze Blend to go into the middle of the button (I HATE threading linen thread through those tiny holes!).  The final layer is Soft Suede to tie in all the colors.

I’m planning on doing this card in a class this month.  Hope they like it as much as I do!

Below are all the supplies I used for this card.  Click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Thanks for stopping by!  Check back in!  I’m adding all my cards that I do for my classes to this blog!

Christmas in July Card # 3

Hey Guys,

My class went really well for my Christmas in July!  We made 5 designs where we made 3 of each design, and then made one of another, so my guests got to make 16 Christmas cards!  We’ll be having  2 – 3 more of these classes but we will use different stamp sets!  I love these classes and it also gets all my cards ready for Christmas!  I don’t have to worry if I already sent a certain card to a family member/loved one because I ALWAYS make new Cards!

Here is the front of this one:

and the inside:

This was a fun one to make!  The white snowflakes are stamped onto the Night of Navy using Versamark and white embossing powder.  What a great way to make your own Designer Paper!

I colored my Rhinetones with my Night of Navy dark Blend!  I also added Wink of Stella underneath the trees.

Hope you like it!
