Friendship Blooms Card

Here is a card made with another Sale-a-bration set, Friendship Blooms! I love the swirly stamp. I got the layout from Teneale on scs. I used elegant eggplant and wild wasabi (I wonder what those would taste like together...) and added some bling with the new fine cosmo glitter. Of course I had to use some of the new striped wild wasabi grosgrain ribbon!

Mailbox

After seeing so many cute mailboxes, I've been wanting to decorate one myself! Luckily, my upline was reading my thoughts and gave me one at our last meeting as our challenge project to decorate! I knew I had to use Berry Bliss dsp and the heart from Always on the mailbox. Then I used the scallop punch, 5 petal punch, and boho blossoms punch on the flag. I used the new chocolate twill ribbon around the ends. Now I'm ready for some mail!

Personalized Gifts



I love making personalized gifts so when I saw Lovely Letters, I immediately thought of using it with the Baroque Background stamp to create some elegant monogramed notecards with a matching notecard holder.

I got the template for this awesome note card holder from Julie Ebersole, her royal rubberness, when I went to a class she had a couple of years ago. There she is third from the left.




To make this note card holder, start with an 8 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock and score at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side and 5 1/2" on the 8 1/4" side. Trim on the 4 1/4" score from the bottom up to the 5 1/2" score to create the two pockets to hold the envelopes and note cards. I used 4 of the notecards and envelopes from the small note card set that SU sells in a pack of 20. So I can get 5 gifts from one pack!

Delicious Cards

Here is the swap card I made for the Oakland Regionals that I went to on Saturday. I love the pretty in pink, purely pomegranate, and close to cocoa color combination from the Berry Bliss dsp! It reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries! And I love how the Boho Backgrounds set prefectly coordinates with the Berry Bliss dsp as well!

Speaking of delicious, here is that chocolate cake from Brithday Whimsy again! I added some yummy frosting with some dazzling diamonds glitter.

Birthday Card

I love the new Sale-a-bration set, Birthday Whimsy! It is such a super cute set! This was the make-n-take for the last workshop I did. We started with a chocolate chip base with an old olive layer. Then we used some almost amethyst dsp with some wide chocolate chip grosgrain. We stamped a chocolate cake and added some of the new fine cosmo glitter.


Here is a closer look at the glitter. Contact me if you want to know how you can get this set free!
