More treats




More Halloween Treats! These were for Dylan's Class. They are made with the milk carton die for the Big Shot. I used all kinds of punches to make the embellishments, as well as Designer Series Paper and ribbon. I put snack packs of m&m's inside for the candy goodie!

School Treats








This is the quick treat I made for my daughter's first grade class. It uses the sweet center stamp set from Stampin' Up! and all retired colors. I was using up my only orange, not green galore the lighter bright green, the name totally escapes me, if I remember it or look it up I will update this post and lavender lace cardstock. I inked the stamp up with the stampin spot to really get the good bold inked up look. I used the new super large circle punch and scallop circle. I was pleased with this quick treat goody. It was a half a sheet of cardstock scored in the middle. I mono-adhesived these cute Hershey kiss treats I found at Target to the inside.

Halloween is coming!


Three months! I can't believe I haven't posted in three months. Three kids in three different directions will do that to you all summer. Everyone is back at school and I am getting used to having a minute to craft!

I made these Halloween cards to sell at Artique. My friend Dania and I have a booth there to sell our creations. I made some milk carton candy treats too. I am going to move on to make some Thanksgiving goodies next.

This card uses designer paper as the backgroud, the new punch for the greeting. From the Crypt stamp set is the large image and the greeting comes from a past hostess set. I used shimmer paint on the skull to make it stand out and have the white tone.

Here's to posting again next week. Fingers crossed!

Matching Cards!


Here is the first card that matches the fancy purse. I used Manhattan Flower Stamp Set and Bella Bleu paper which I love, love, love! I used watercolor crayons to color the flowers and a blender pen to spread the color around. I used a so saffron and barely banana marker to color the stamen in the center, the crayons just were not dark enough for me. I used white satin ribbon to use as an accent. The words are embossed using white embossing powder. The oval was cut using my Big Shot from Sizzox. I punched the wholes in the scallops to add a little more something. I cased this whole card from a pattern I purchased and added by own spin.




This second card was made with pretty much the same supplies as the first one. I did make a slit using a craft knife to add the ribbon.

Two more cards to post for this set! I love, love, love this project!

Purse Perfect


This awesome purse is made with Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper. I love, love, love this paper. This was a bit an effort, but I love the way it came out. It is made to hold cards. I will be posting the cards over the next few days. I used Manhattan Flowers to create the flower on the front of the purse and for the upcoming cards. I used watercolor crayons to color the flower.

Awash some more....


This card says created by Stacey Roussin, but really was created by Dania Welch, she just let me make it at her house when I was visiting. It uses the Awash with flowers Stamp Set, and many of the retiring colors. It is an easel card that stands up with you are finished with it.

In Colors


I had a Sympathy card to make recently, I used all in colors plus a texture plate for the Big Shot to make a simple yet pretty card.
