Shoebox Tuesday

For this week's shoebox project I wanted to use this new SU set and matching punch. I decided to once again use different embossing folders and let them pick their design. Also they got to pick the message, and color for the flowers. When I thought of making this card Mother's day came to mind BUT I had already either mailed or about to mail the cards I made so I used other messages but they were welcome to use mother's day message :0)

These were my samples

Message unknown, ribbon by SU and the pearls are from Eyelets Outlet & Brads, embossing folder Cuttlebug

Message by Savvy Stamps, ribbon by SU and the rhinestones from Queen & Co., texture impression embossing folder Sizzix

This set works as two-step stamping which works great to avoid coloring the flowers :0) there are two stamps that works for the bottom part - light color and 2 stamps that work for the top - dark color. I used the stamp positioner to perfectly align the stamps but unfortunately I used the index of the words to stamp and they were wrongly aligned so those are not straight LOL I know I have two options 1) unmount and align correctly or 2) ALWAYS use stamp positioner guess will know next time I use either of these stamps :0)

Love

During Valentine's day time I always find inspiration for wedding anniversary cards so this is one of them. The hearts are a SU set, the love is by DeNami Designs the heart rhinestones are by Recollections

Class in the mail

I got another of Frenchie's class in the mail. This time it was painted petals. All supplies are SU

On this I added the butterfly

This card instead of using the sequins I used gold rhinestones. I just love this message. We are born to a family good or bad :0) we inherit a family when we get married most of the time not so good :0) but you do get to chose your friends :0)

This one was a very clean and simple card but was too simple to me so I mounted the card on to a piece of cardstock same color as the flowers. I was going to use both colors but since it's just my sample I figure next time I could add the two colors :0)

For this one I did the same ghost technique on the lost lagoon piece as well as the crumb cake

Class in the mail

This is another of Frenchie's class in the mail. Indescribable gift stamp set by SU. All were colored with Copic Markers and most supplies are SU

This card I used a Sizzix embossing folder. I colored the main flowers and then glued vellum on top

For this one I was supposed to color the ribbon with alcohol markers but to me it has always felt that it becomes rough

For this one it was just color with the sponge but I decided to color first and then rub the ink, I think the flowers pop more :0)

This was the faux silk technique...you color your image then glue wrinkle tissue paper 

For this one I colored on the vellum which I didn't care for. When I remake this technique I will just color the cardstock and glue the vellum on top...like on the first card except for the white embossing :0)

Simple sent

Some other cards for the Taylored Expressions' card drive, these were done with Happy Hello Simple sent card kit. All supplies are SU not all from kit :0)

Paper Pumpkin October 2014

This cards I made from the paper pumpkin which I donated for the Taylored Expressions card drive. Other than the paper pumpkin I only use gorgeous grunch stamp set by SU and washi tape form my stash and the one embossing folder which is SU

  

Paper Pumpkin February 2015

My SU demonstrator for many many years decided to stop being a demonstrator so to thank her for all the years I made her this card using the February Paper Pumpkin the front and back as well as the inside were done with the flower shop stamp set the ribbon goes around to close the accordion.

I will miss her as demonstrator as she was on top of things from start to finish :0) always keeping me posted on the status of my order and making sure I was satisfied with what I got. Thank you again!

25th anniversary

Another of my friends celebrated their 25th anniversary so this is what I sent them. I used elegant bouquet folder by SU and where there was flowers I added punched flowers by SU which I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The congrats is a die by Little B. On the bottom  I used some silver washi tape

40th Anniversary

On of my girlfriends and her hubby celebrated their 40th anniversary early this month and her daughter was nice enough to give her a party so this is the card I made them. After I made this I found out that embossing powders do get old LOL it was supposed to be white but since I don't do embossing it has yellowed it help so you can see as sometimes white on white is hard to see :0) the embossing folder was from the Starter set by Cuttlebug. The flowers were punched from the Itty Bitty accents punch pack by SU the butterfly is also a SU punch the 40 is part of a stamp by Creative Vision and the Happy Anniversary is part of a SU set

Butterfly

I made this card using using the left over butterflies from the shoebox project a while back. The thinking of you is by Penny Black and the butterfly is Spellbinders, the doily is SU and the paper is a pack from The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby

Class in the mail

These cards were part of the Moon Lake class in the mail that Frenchie offers. When I saw this set it was the perfect set for male cards. I did a few changes but mostly it was like she said.
Most supplies are SU but were it needed coloring was done with Copic Markers

This first card added the pearls on top of the message

This one I mounted the single layer card to have a layer same color just because I didn't want the twine showing, probably add some texture if/when I remake this card

Faux book

One of the Sunday Tip or Technique was faux book. The tutorial given to us was using the "book" to hold a pin but I wanted to make a thinner "book" more mail friendly, but still was too thick so you do have to find a better way to mail which means more postage anyway this was my take to the technique.

The "sheets" were originally like 10" long but since that made an 1" thick book I made mine half the size which ended up being 5" long which made it 0.5" thick...I scored every half inch. I will probably redo it with less "pages"to hopefully have the same book look but easier to mail without extra postage...hopefully

The flower stamps is the flower shop SU stamp set, I used the same set to frame Tilda which was colored with Copic markers. On the back I left enough room to add my personal handmade stamp

Shoebox Thursday

Today's shoebox project was provided by Linda. We did one of my favorite combos

All supplies are SU except glitter ribbon & jewels

Love bird

I saw a card on Pinterest similar to this but since I had some heart doilies that are too big for most cards it worked out pretty good.

The heart and bird are SU punches
