Punch Mania
Can you tell how many punches were used on this card by my upline, Dannie? She got the idea for this card from Paula Goff. We all share a passion for punches! This card demonstrates how fun using multiple punches for layering are with this great card using In the Spotlight and the Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper

Note Card Holder
I love making this note card holders as gifts for my friends! I made this one for my friend Nancy's birthday. I got the template from a class I took taught by Julie HRR(Her Royal Rubberness). I used the leaf prints and watercolor joy wheels to created the background super quick!
Here is the inside with the cards and envelopes! I love making matching envelopes!

Boho West Pocket Card
Here is another sample from convention using the Wanted set with the coordinating Outlaw paper. The crop-a-dile was used to create the dry embossed circles across the pull out part of the card. The pewter jumbo eyelet makes a great embellishment and I love the new thick grosgrain ribbons. The chocolate chip color is so yummy!

Cutie Pie Long Note
I'm lovin' the new Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper! It is so fun to use! If you love it too, stay tuned, because I have a lot of upcoming projects that use it! This is a cute card I made with the paper and some purely pomegranate double-stitched ribbon. I added a flower from Build a Flower Accents & Elements and a punched out flower. I used the Pick a Petal classy brass template to dry emboss the little flowers along the bottom.

Thank you card
I made a faux metal edge tag by simply punching the brushed silver card stock with the 1 1/4" circle punch and then centering the hole in the 1 3/8" circle punch and punching out the rim. I adhered my silver rim to the card stock where I stamped my flower and sentiment and again used the 1 3/8" circle punch to punch out the tag! I finished the card with some mellow moss taffeta ribbon and punched half a circle in the flap of the envelope to stamp my little flower and thank you message!

Drink holder turned Ribbon holder
This was a drink holder that fast food restaurants give you to hold your drinks that I decided to turn into a ribbon holder basket. This is another project my upline gave us to create something with. I cut off the top and covered it with Brocade Background paper and some river rock double stitched ribbon. I fastened a strip of the paper with the petwer jumbo eyelets on the sides to create a handle and viola! a ribbon holder!

Swap Card
This is a card I made for Jami's Holiday Mini Catalog swap. I must say that I was very intimidated by the swappers in the group that I signed up for! They make some great stuff! So I found these colors (wild wasabi & soft sky) and layout from a beautiful card by Lauraly on SplitCoast Stampers and tweaked it with the Tags on Board set. It was a neat coincidence that the star stamp from this set matches the Designer Paper perfectly!

Petal Box
Here are the directions:
1. Draw a 4 inch by 4 inch square.
2. Take the 5-in-1 template and draw the rounded flap on each side of the 4 inch square.
3. Then you're going to draw 4 more rounded flaps and cut those out-- cut them out of a separate color so you could see them a little better. Fold them in half and they become the corners of the lid.
4. For the bottom of the box you take an 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 piece of cs. Score it at 2 1/4 on all four sides. Then assemble it into a box.
