Shoebox Thursday

For today's shoebox project Darlene decided to have a card that would be donated to the card drive that CardMaker Magazine "reach out program" has on this issue. The cards are going to Christel House International.

So this was the sample, we each picked the color to make so we ended up with a bunch of different colors. The folder is by SU, brads and ribbon from stash, message unknown

The cards I made had a different embossing folder, in part because I didn't see the one we were supposed to use and since there were other folders available for other cards just grabbed one :0) this one is by Darice, brads and ribbon from stash and the message is unknown because it was one she had ready for us to use :0)

Blishful Bouquet

Another Paper Pumpkin kit this one was October 2015

This one didn't have too many supplies, the message is by Stamp A Mania, the butterfly is Martha Stewart, pearls from my stash

The message is from CTMH, everything else was from kit

This one the message is by SU, everything is from the kit

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project I had another thinking of you card. I saw a set on Pinterest that was a kit sold on Etsy so I made a similar card. On my card, I decided to make it pretty simple. My base card then colored layer and then the top layer.

I stamped my message in English by Stamp A Mania, the one in Spanish was computer generated. Then I stamped my flowers with Painted Petals by SU, then I used my card creator dies by Spellbinders to do the inset layer. I know for some adding a layer would have been easier but my dies are part of my at finger tips tools so easier :0)

Mistletoe & Holly

One more Paper Pumpkin kit :0) this one was the November 2015. Supplies were for Christmas cards but as you have been reading I'm working on Thinking of You for the card drive.

To take less time gathering supplies and more time working on cards I pretty much picked a few sets, ink, paper die and got to work.

This one the background is Rubbernecker, the die is Spellbinders

Here I used petite petals set and matching punch, message is Endless Creations 

Here I used another Endless Creations stamp...part of it, the YOU is part of Sew You paper pumpkin, paper flower from my stash and some pearls

Here again Spellbinders die, everything else was from kit

Once again used Spellbinders die, the flowers were from a freebie from Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine

For this last card, I used the part of the Endless Creations stamp, again the YOU from the Sew You paper pumpkin and the bird is a Martha Stewart punch

Sew You Kit

Since I'm still working on thinking of you decided to use my paper pumpkin kits. For the most part all I need is stamps and something to embellish. This was what I made with the paper pumpkin from March 2015

For this one, I colored the paper with a Tombow dual marker. The flower stamp & wash-out stamp are SU, the message is Stamp A Mania

For this one, I colored the paper with Copic Markers, the flower stamps are SU as well as the message, the sparkle is a Close to my Heart

For this one I used Spectrum Noir market, the message is SU and the flowers CTMH

For this one, I also used Spectrum Noir marker to add color to paper, ribbon is SU, the message is Sweet Impressions and the Space Needle is Make an Impression

Diamond Teabag

This is was a fun fold to work on. Decided to work on teabag for decoration and used some stamps that otherwise wouldn't use :0) not sure why I bought the set but guess I had a reason at the time LOL they are by Perfectly Said Rubber Stamps

This on the teabag tile is from Circle of Crafters April 2008

And this one is from May 2006

Birthday Cat

Happy April's Fool Day

A friend of mine loves cats so I made this iris folding card for her. I bought the aperture at one of the local stamp stores so just had to do the folding which I used a pattern from a book, sorry didn't write down which one and too lazy to look it up :0) the sun is a punch by Punch Bunch I believe...doesn't have a name, the happy birthday is by Stampendous, for the grass I use background paper and a punch
