Elegant Wedding Card
Filed Under Wedding, blog | 4 Comments
This elegant wedding card was made with the soon retiring In Color "Soft Sky" paper and matching Designer Series Paper "Spring Silhouettes".
Sets used include Together Forever & Frames with a Flourish,. Accessories include the double stitched Soft Sky grosgrain ribbon and the (for now) retired "Styled Silver" Hodgepodge Hardware. I say ‘for now’ retired because I have seen it used in samples of upcoming sets coming out in August with the 2008 Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog! I
LOVE the new Hodgepodge and am sorry to say goodbye to the old. See our Special Offer on all current Hodgepodge Hardware finishes.
You can still purchase Hodgepodge Hardware and it is 25% off while supplies last (or until August 10th!).

Wedding Box
Filed Under 3D Project | 7 Comments
I’ve been calling this a ‘Wedding Box’ because it ended up more ‘frilly’ than I expected!
The box is actually a ‘take off’ of the 2-4-6-8 box… it is a 2-5-7-10 box and I have included the directions below (click the thumbnail!).
The sets used are ‘Leaves A La Carte" jumbo wheel, Carte Postale and Together Forever’. The paper is Sahara Sand and the ink is Always Artichoke.
Good luck! Click on the following thumbnail for the PDF of complete directions.

For Father “Rustic” Card
Filed Under Father's Day, Masculine | 7 Comments
Well, I’m aware that this card is suspiciously like my Spring Song card, but I do like the color combination and the look of this type of card.
The card is River Rock with the Weathered background stamp in Close to Cocoa.
The image from the "For Father" set is a toolkit stamped in Staz-On and colored with Stampin’ Write Markers of the following colors: Creamy Caramel, Sahara Sand, Mellow Moss & More Mustard.
The layers behind the focal image are torn pieces of Chocolate Chip cardstock and a torn piece of Creamy Caramel cardstock (crimped).
Sponging helps the ‘rustic’ look. How’d I do?

Another ‘Gift Keeper’
Filed Under 3D Project, Birthday | 3 Comments
I found it! I love this sample, but i mysteriously disappeared… I found it and it was only ‘missing’ the Hershey bar, but thankfully the kids didn’t damage the sample! Ah, the dangers of trying to keep chocolate in the house with 4 kids (three of them teenage girls)– a very bad thing! My previous post has the dimensions to this type of gift holder.
I love the ‘Big Birthday Candle’ set… the design inspiration for this gift holder is from a card I did last month (below). I didn’t love the card at first because it was too simple, but the up-side of simple is that I made a bunch of them to have on hand for birthdays!

Birthday Gift Keeper
Filed Under 3D Project, Birthday, Template | 28 Comments
<– Click on the graphic (left) to download the directions for this easy gift holder that you can get three of from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper! I made some matching lollipop covers and made a flower from Smarties the same way I made the focal flower on the gift keeper.
This simple ‘gift keeper’ was made with the beautiful new set "Kind Thoughts" (which punches out a lovely flower with the scalloped circle punch), Baroque Motifs (an ‘old friend’ of mine) and Circle of Friendship. The color scheme is Ballet Blue, Rose Romance, Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery… a great color combination. Download the step-by-step to making these.
I made a birthday one as well, however I think that the kids got to it because I left the mini-Hershey bar in it… my fault I guess!
I will upload the one I made with "Big Birthday Candle" when it surfaces, I really liked that one even better!
Let me know what you think!

Great Grads–another take!
Filed Under Graduation | Leave a Comment
The greeting is from Great Grads–it’s an unusual size greeting–very long and in reverse type… it was a challenge to work with. I think that this would also be an excellent birthday card for a teenager. I don’t think that the glitter showed up well in this photo.
The color scheme is Night of Navy & Bordering Blue cardstock stamped in Night of Navy (roller wheel also Night of Navy ink). The 3Dstars are the small star punch "punched out" over by the large star punch–the two Stampin’ Up! star punches coordinate very well.
