Pinwheel Birthday Card

My inspiration for this pinwheel card came from the May 2011 Card Marker Magazine Page 18.  I used Stampin' Up's 1 1/2" Scallop Square punch for my pinwheels.  The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Collection - Hazel Papers 6x6 pad.  The buttons and cardstock are Stampin' Up.

A day without....

I have been really trying to concentrate on 10 minute or less cards here lately.  I am in the process of creating a series of note card sets for a fundraiser and I need 200 + cards, therefore I need nice and simple cards that still look great! This is a classic example of just that!

This is a great image from Unity Stamps!  It could be a day without friends, sisters, or drinks is a day lost! So many meaning with this one! I used Stampin Up papers and inks. Lighting is bad, but the pinks, reds and browns really look great together! 

Life is a matter of moments card!

I love how this card turned out, U used all Stampin Up inks and papers.  The glitter in the flower adds a little extra bling!

Love You Much!

Birds and Bows

It has been a few months since I have blogged.  I have been slacking big time.  What will 2011 bring? Only time will tell, but I hope that 2011 will bring much joy and laughter to everyone!

This is a cute card I made for a swap.  I used the Stampin' Up set Elements of Style, the hummingbird is so sweet, reminds me of my parents who used to feed them so they could sit and watch their beauty from the kitchen and dinning room windows.  The Old Olive and Soft Suede make for a pretty color combination.  All inks, papers and ribbon are Stampin' Up!

This weeks challenge is a Color Challenge we were asked to use Purple and Silver, what a fun combination!

I just love this image by Pink Cat Studios!  He is one of my favorite snowmen images!  I use Stampin Up pure color pencils to color the nose and birdies. I stamped black snowflakes with Stazon ink onto the glossy silver card stock and then matted vellum over it with black brads on the corners! I used Stampin Up Elegant Eggplant colored card stock, ribbon and glitter.

CSAYL Gift Set Challenge #6 - Double Packet Bag

This was a great project this week.  The bag is made from one 12 x 12 piece of Stampin' Up Designer Series paper!! I use a rub-on from Stampin Up too so this was a no stamp project. I love the cordaroy buttons and the white stitch brown ribbon, they were both discontinued but I was sure to buy several containers nad spools before they were gone! :-) It turned out super cute and came together quickly. 

You have to check out the other completed projects on CSALY Blog. You can find the tutorial  HERE as well.  This would make great little office gifts and would hold gifts cards or girft certificates perfectly.  I just cannot believe that October is here already, time sure flies when you are having a blast creating cards and projects! 

CSAYL #64 - Borderbilities - Pink Cat Studio

I love this image from Pink Cat Studios, these little chicks are just adorable! I used a fun color combo of Stampin' Up cardstock and designer papers - So Saffron, Real Red, Old Olive and Basic Black. I added a bit of bling to the hats with Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink.

CSAYL Gift Set Challenge #5 - Tag Holder

It's gift set challenge time again! This week's project is to create a "Tag Holder". A tag holder is fantastic pre-Christmas gift you can give to. The tags can be used as gift tags during Christmas. Another great idea is to add photos to the tags and you can give it as a Christmas card/mini album.
