Shoebox Thursday

For today's shoebox Kathy had this masculine valentine's card, idea she CASE from Pinterest. Except for the thread that was from her stash everything else is SU

on the photo above you can't see details so here is the heart...she had already die cut and embossed the hearts for us, we just had to sponge a little

for the banners she had the pieces cut to width, embossed (with score board, blue piece one direction, brown opposite direction) and we had to cut banner point and add the thread to button 

Winter fun

On the eighth day of Christmas I show you another of the cards from the watercolor winter card kit by SU. Once again mostly was supplies from the kit. Colored the sled with Copic Markers Airbrush System, message is by Savvy Stamps

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project I made another winter card. This was inspired by Stamping with Tami. I did the Ombre technique as it's one of the Technique or Template challenge right now on one of my Yahoo groups

Use from SU the leaf die, sheltering tree set & ribbon, memento inks, the message is by Savvy Stamps and jewels from my stash.

Sunday Tip or Technique

Last week's TT was explosion card. Since I'm in winter spirit made it into another winter card.

Supplies used SU's texture impressions embossing folder, Spellbinders' create a flake die

for the inside I used winter background paper from my stash and added enough area for writing a message. Message by Savvy Stamps

Sunday Tip or Technique

One of the TTs last year was half circle pop-up card. I believe the original card was done by Julie Davidson since then some people had made the card and changed something. This was my take on the card. Grandma was turning 90 yesterday so this is the card I made her using the TT. She likes blue. I used SU's butterfly basic stamp set. Colored the flowers with Copic Markers

the inside message is Endless Creations

used Spellbinder's whimsical alphabet die for the 90

What time is it?

I made this for a watch or clock mingle. The folder is by Tim Holtz, the watch is from a SU set I stamped it 3 times cut each part of the watch and then put it together for the top I added a epoxy clear sticker by The Paper Studio that is meant for bottle caps but it fitted perfectly to make the top of the watch more realistic

Virtual Calendar

Last year I made some cards for an adoptive Grandma for her to send to her young great & great-great-grandkids for their birthdays. This year I did the same but I also included a virtual calendar book.

This was the book. The front was done by computer and decorated with two SU sets

For the inside cover I added a pocket for postage stamps...added a sheet of stamps so she can send them more personalized...this year's PO stamps that says from me to you...love them! Although I can't used them most times as the cards I sent are from Bret & I :0) 

The pages were done with Excel so I could make the days thick enough to hopefully fit all names. All pages are pockets so she can add the cards...all I added was the cards for the kids under 13

After I had all the pages done I bind them with an office book binding kind of boring but that was the only binding that was sold for home use over 15 years ago :0) I thought of taking it to an office store but I did have a wide enough worm and really want to use them all up :0)
