Here comes the Bride!

I was asked by one of my daughter's school Receptionists to make her a wedding card.  I intended only making one card - the one in Whisper White, but then I was on a roll and decided to make two more!  For the white dresses on both the pink cards, I used Non-Stampin' Up! cardstock which I've had for years - they were supposed to be used to make wedding invitations!  The cardstock actually has a scent on them.

Happy Hoppy Easter!

These are a CASE from designs I saw on UStamp with Dawn and Friends - the tutorial and pdf files are available for purchase on the website.  I did not purchase the tutorials but from the pictures I managed to put together this set.  Aren't the bunnies cute!!!

Cards Galore!

I had my first SU! Workshop this past weekend!  It was such a lot of fun!  We played with some new SU! products and one of my guests who has never done any crafting or stamping had an absolute ball!
I have also been busy playing with my new 'toys' too!  Here are a few pictures of what I've made.  These projects are also my upcoming classes for March - see my Class Schedule for more details.

These are a Set of 3 Cards using the Papillon Potpourri Butterflies and matching punches (the card at the bottom was the Make & Take project for my workshop) and the All Dressed Up Framelits

This is a Double Pocket Card closed - made with just one sheet of A4 cardstock

This is the Double Pocket Card opened - this card actually fits into a standard sized envelope!

This is a really WOW card - this was also made with just one sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock - I must say thanks goes to Kelly Gettelfinger of Always Stampin' - Thanks Kelly!

This is the card closed.

And when opened .... look at all the places you get for photos and journaling!  This card also fits into a standard sized envelope - just gotta love that!

Mini Album in a Bag

I finally received my new SU! products and I've been having such fun playing with them!  I have also been preparing to host my first SU! Workshop this weekend!  Never done one before!  So I've also been busy getting all my things together for the workshop.  Looking forward to it too!  Just can't wait to introduce my friends to the awesomeness (is this a word?) of Stampin' Up!
One of the projects that I made to show case at the workshop is this Mini Album in a Bag - I'm not such a keen scrapbooker, especially those large 12" x 12" pages - I do take pictures but digital storage is about as far as it gets!  I prefer to make mini albums or interactive 'scrapbooks'.  This Mini Album in a Bag can be found on Kelly Gettelfinger's blog - Always Stampin' - thanks Kelly for sharing!

 



 

Block Card & Just For You

Here are two cards which I completed this weekend.  The first one is a Block Card which I saw on Calla Lily's blogspot.  There is a link on her blog to a YouTube Video by Papercraft45 showing you how to make this card.
The cardstock that I used are all Stampin' Up! some of which are retired - yes, I still have some 'old' SU! cardstock which I haven't used up or had the heart to get rid of.  So while I wait for my new stock to arrive, I decided to make this card with what I have.  The scrapbook papers used are non-Stampin' Up! product.

 

 

The second card I made are all SU! products except for the stamped words.  The design for the card comes from Connie Stewart's flash card series and can be viewed on her blog - Simply Simple Stamping.  The image of the flower is from the retired set Embrace Life.
