YOU MAKE ME HAPPY, WHEN SKIES ARE GRAY

HEY BLOGGIES

I am so LOVING the FREE stamp set  called SEE YA LATER.  This set is fun and cute and also can be used for several different occasions.

I had a rough Thursday and when I told my friend Tammy that I could not come over to stamp with her because I was having a bummer day, she said some funny things and cheered me a bit.  I had to deliver some stamps to her and also pick up some things from an internet order at her home so I went over.  I only expected to stay a few minutes and then go home and sulk because of the rough day.  Well, first she gave me my internet order and that cheered me up.  I LOVE THE DIES we bought.  Then she gave me the CUTEST PURSE EVER.  She made it and it is AWESOME.  That definitely cheered me up.

So here is a card to thank her and let her know how she cheered up my sad Thursday:

Coastal cabana, whisper white and marina mist card stock, along with a long skinny piece of Fresh Prints DSP folded and cut along the fold with the FRINGE SCISSORS

A basic metal button and some white bakers twine as well as some Modern Medley DSP complete the card.  I shaded some clouds with smoky slate and basic gray and added some raindrops from a retired stamp set.

One last look at the fun card.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  What have YOU made with this stamp set?

VIVID VASES CARD CLASS PROJECTS AND SCALLOP TAG PUNCH GOODIE HOLDER

HEY BLOGGIES,

Last night was my second Vivid Vases card class.  This has been a VERY well accepted stamp and all the participants LOVED the cards.

Before we got to our Vivid Vases cards, I demoed how to make this cute chocolate holder from the new SCALLOP TAG TOPPER PUNCH:

 I used a sheet of paper from  the FRESH PRINTS PAPER PACK, cut it to 2"wide and punched each end.

 After I scored two score lines near the middle, I put sticky tape to hold 3 Hershey's chocolate kisses and then tied it up with some coastal cabana 1/4" ribbon.

That's it!! EASY PEASY and everyone loved knowing how to do this know and they got to take one home!!

Enjoy a little bit of spring with these cute card ideas.  

 This first card is crumb cake base with Midnight Muse punched scallop ribbon panel.  Dark colors colored the vases but we still used a bit darker to add the shadows.

 We used smoky slate and basic gray markers to create the shadow of the vase against the background,.  The chalk marker colored the flowers and provided the highlight on the vases.

 Next was the same stamp used for paper piecing.  Again the Fresh Prints paper pack was used and paper snipped out to attach to the vases.  The bulb spritzer from the clearance rack was used with the coastal cabana marker to add the bit of grunge.

 You have seen this card before from my last Vivid Vases card class.  White embossing powder and the chalk talk die were used, as well as the edgelits for the layer and the card front.

We colored our flowers anyway that we wanted to and they look good in all colors.

That's it.  If all these cards do not convince you that you NEED to purchase the Vivid Vases stamp, then look again at all the cuteness above.  YOU NEED IT.

Thanks for stopping by.
