Project Day with Friends

Hi, my post today is a little different than normal.  I am blessed to have a wonderful group of very talented friends. There are 12 people in the group.  We get together occasionally to have what we call a "Project Day".  On Project Days some people come up with a project and make a kit for everyone and some people make food for a pot luck lunch.  We had a Project Day recently and I asked permission to post the cards here so you could see them.  Alita, Linda and Judy's cards were inspired by something they found on Pinterest.  Susan and Mary's cards are originals designed by them!  It was a really fun filled day...I'm looking forward to our next event!!

Thanks for visiting.  I hope my post made you want to get out your stamps and play!

Loads of Fun

Today's post is a side step card that I made a while ago.  I used a stamp set called Loads of Fun from There She Goes.  Unfortunately this stamp set is no longer available because this company went out of business.    I'm really sad about that, I really liked their stamps a lot.  Here is the front of the card...

And here is the back.  I used my computer to make the message.

And a close-up of the clothesline side! I used green vellum for the trees so the branches would show through.

I hope you like my card and it inspires you to get stamping!  Thanks so much for visiting!

Oh Baby!

Another Valentine!  For this one I used retired Amuse stamps.  There are so many house stamps available now that you could easily find something that you could use to recreate this card.  I like the little heart shaped gems coming out of the chimney!

Again, I used my computer to make the sentiment for the inside of the card.  I thought it needed a little bit of lace since it is a Valentine so I used an EK Success border punch.

Here is a close up...

Thanks for stopping by.  It warms my heart that you take the time to come and look at my cards :)

Supplies Used:

CAS Valentine

I saw the cutest CAS valentine on one of the blogs I follow, called I'm in Haven.  Thanks to Lisa for her inspiration.  You can see her card here.  Isn't it sweet?  I love all the white space, it really makes the pinks stand out.  I added some stitching around the edge because I just got a Jenome sewing machine and of course had to use it.  You can see that I'm new at sewing on cards because my lines are a little crooked, but I still like how it looks.  I used My Favorite Things Heart Stax to make a base to glue the flowers onto, Blueprints 20 for the scalloped mat layer and Tag Builder Blueprints 3 to cut out the little hearts at the bottom. 

I made the sentiment for the inside on my computer and added some pink washi tape

Here is a close up of the flower heart.  I used a Viva Ice White Pearl Pen to make the little pearls in the center of the flowers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Magic Marquee Birthday Card

Magic Marquee cards are fun.  When you have one in your hands you can't stop yourself from playing with it!  The little animal stamps from Purple Onion are perfect for this kind of card because little images work so great with them.  I love the owls so I decided to use them  for this birthday card!  Here is the front of my card...

I learned how to make this card from a video by Jan Tinklenberg.  You can find it here.    Here's a look at the inside of the card...

A close up of the owl on the front of the card!

And of the little owl!

I made a video so you could see this card in action. 

I know it's a pretty lame video, but at least you can see what happens when you open a Magic Marquee card!  
Thanks so much for looking!
