Stampin' Up

Today I attended a SU workshop. The hostesses had 10 cards plus and extra project for us to make. The extra project was this month's Paper Pumpkin, since I have the Paper Pumpkin I just did the 10 cards. You do as many cards as you have time or as many as you want.

      

This was the only card I didn't do as the sample...I don't like sequins so I used gold rhinestones instead

Birthday card

This is another of the cards I made for the gift set. The message is SU the embossing folder is from the same set as the Mickey and another sticker I got at Michaels

Shoebox Thursday

This is my week to host play day with the normal group so this was my project. Following this year's resolutions I used a new stamp set, by SU

The border punch is Martha Stewart and the pearls are Recollections

Impress

Today I went to Impress Stampers' drop in. I hadn't been to those make and takes since June last year!! I enjoy meeting with the other ladies. For the most part it's the same people all the time.

This time the project was a clean and simple valentine's day card. The heart is by Impress and it's done with the Ombre technique, the banner is by Savvy Stamps fuzzy cut and I believe the gold metallic cording is by May Arts

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoe-box project I made this clean and simple Valentine's card.

While searching Pinterest for ideas for Valentine's saw something similar posted by Nancy Littrell on Splitcoaststampers

I used the same tree by SU, stamped with rich cocoa and the retired heart punch, used a Copic multi liner to hang them. The words are a stamped that unfortunately I don't know who makes it.

A while back when I was watching tutorial for the Copic Markers a lot of them always talked about anchoring the images, of course it made sense but somehow we always thought it was fine that our images were floating :0) anyway since then I have try to always anchor my images and for this one I use my Copic markers.

Birthday card

This is another card from the gift set, this embossing folder is by Sizzix and some more stickers from Michaels these are Recollections

Scrap cards

My scrap box was growing so decided to do what I did in 2013 and do as many cards as I could just with my scraps. Guess we all get things from friends. I have this friend from MN that when she's in town she always asks for my scraps' box and pretty much that's what she uses to make her cards. She left months ago and probably that's why my box was growing. Anyway, I also have couple boxes of stickers some were gifts and some I got because they were pretty :0) so that was what I used.

Except for a few pieces that I embossed because I wanted them to match the sticker EVERYTHING was from the scraps. Cards are all sizes but none was regular A2 size. The smallest is about 2-3/4 x 4-1/4 some maybe even smaller and the biggest I think was 4 x 4-1/2 although there were several 3-1/2 x 5.

Since all I had to do was cut the paper to make the card and then attach stickers I ended up making about 90 in two days. Some are just any day so I added two message either Hola or greetings.

Of course had to do some winter cards since we're in winter unfortunately until March

Even some Christmas 

& fall cards, Although sunflowers to me are any day card but most people just have them around fall...at least I see lots of sunflower stuff at that time...I'm not a flower person don't know when flowers bloom, do like them BUT I kill them in less than a day :0)

and these last cards were done with all the pieces I ended up after cutting the other cards.

Still have plenty of scraps and stickers so probably will do some more. Did used up most of them embossed paper so will have to either embossed more pieces or use background papers that I seem to collect also :0)
