Just a Note

Thank goodness...I think I've finally shaken this awful cold...starting to feel much better today...I've been up for quite sometime this morning and of course it's the best time for me to work on a couple of cards...here is what I did this morning...I'm very pleased as to how they turned out.

 The musical cleft die is absolutely perfect for all my just a notes cards...I purchased this die on one of my road trips to Simsbury, Connecticut last year...and just recently started using it...and boy!...do I love it.

I love this new paper ribbon...it's very easy to work with and comes in several colours...which I will be using in other projects soon.

 Here is the recipe:

Stamp: just a note.

*****

Card stock: very vanilla...creamy caramel...early espresso...musical notes DSP...and cream printer paper.

*****

Ink: really rust.

*****

Punches: large oval...1 1/4" square...treble cleft die...and diamonds in the rough folder.

*****

Additional supplies: s/u mini glue dots...snail...simply scored plate...big shot...fiskar cutter...and brown paper ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by this beautiful morning...I'm certainly glad that I'm well enough to enjoy it today and wish the same for all of you...have a great morning...enjoy this beautiful weekend...and I hope you all have a stampin' good time.

Birthdays are the Best

I'm not sure if it was blogger or my computer...but I had trouble all day trying to upload and post these cards...I finally got it going just as I was ready to give up...spent three hours just trying to upload...I felt like throwing my computer right out the window...lol...any way...here is the cards I made.

I've been doing a lot of these inchie cards because they are very quick and easy to make...it sure looks like you spent a lot of time on it...the sentiment is raised a little with my dimensionals.

I love this DSP...but it has long been retired...I still have a few sheets of it...got to use up all these goodies to make room for all the new stuff...lol.

Here is the super fast recipe:

Stamp set: it's your birthday.
*****
Card stock: S/U Recollections DSP...whisper white...chocolate chip...creamy caramel...an cream printer paper.
*****
Ink: chocolate chip.
*****
Punches: 1 1/4" square...curly label...and argyle folder.
*****
Additional supplies: snail...stampin' dimensionals...big shot...simply scored plate...and fiskar cutter.

Thanks for dropping by this evening ...I'm tired after fussing with this stupid computer half of the day...I hope everyone is having a great weekend...and I wish you all a stampin' good time.

These would make fabulous thank you cards for a wedding to send to friends and family don't you think...they're so easy that you could make a stack of them if you needed to.

 I did add a dash of red...but you could add any colour that works...such as coordinating it with the colours of the wedding party...how cool would that be.

 I love that I added the tiny crystal bling to the cards...they give the cards a little POW!...lol.

This is the easy recipe:

Stamp set: Wonderful words.

Happy Birthday Inches

It's 3am and most of the world is sleeping...not me...I'm wide awake...looking for something to do...guess what won...making a couple of cards of course...lol...and I had a great time doing it too.

 I am loving the bright colours of this collection and even though it has been long since retired...I still love using it.

I like this look...the card stock and the DSP both have the same embossed background...and it was easy...I punched out my squares...taped them to my card stock...then ran them through my BIG shot.

 This is the easy recipe:

Stamp set: itty bitty banners.

*****

Card stock: very vanilla...ice cream parlor DSP...gumball green...and cream printer paper.

*****

Ink: gumball green.

*****

Punches: framelits bitty banners...1 1'4" square...and argyle folder.

*****

Additional supplies: ice cream parlor ribbon and buttons...simply scored plate...snail...s/u mini glue dots...and big shot.

 It is cold and windy outside...I can hear the trees blowing around...the wind is even making the fan in my window spin around...hopefully I can catch a nap before it gets light out...thanks so much for stopping by this morning...enjoy the beautiful cool weather that promises to come our way today...because the next couple of days aren't going to be this nice I heard...I hope you all have a stampin' good day.

OOPS...OOPS...OOPS...I just noticed that I took a pic of the 1 1/4" circle punch instead of the 1 1/4" square...sorry about that...but as you can see from the cards...I used a square punch...silly moi...lol!

Winter Friendship

It has been forever...forever...forever...since I've posted...life happens as I always say and sometimes you just have to go with the flow...but I'm going to try to get back on track...I have a new camera...and a new photo studio (one of those portable light boxes...thanks to my family for Mothers Day)...yes they're back from Japan...so I've been spending time with My Beautiful Grands...it was fun...but now it's time to get back to my blog...even though I haven't been posting...I have been making some cards and doing a few projects here and there...today I'm going to share a winter card...this morning was freezin' here...thought it was almost winter again.

 

This is a long retired set...but a favorite of mine...I used scraps of DSP to make the squares and the background embossing gave it a cool look...I attached the squares to the card stock then ran it through my big shot in the embossing folder.

  I love making quick and easy cards...the squares can be made as one inch squares also if you wanted your card to be an inchie card...you would just end up with an extra row.

 These would make fabulous winter birthday cards.

 This is the recipe:

Stamp set: It's Snow time.

*****

Card Stock: whisper white...primrose petals...assorted scraps...white printer.

*****

Ink: primrose petals.

*****

Markers: stampin' write.

*****

Punches: argyle folder...and 1 1/4" square.

*****

Additional supplies: stampin' dimensionals...snail adhesive...simply scored...big shot...and fiskar.

Thank you for stoppin' by this morning I appreciate it...have a great morning and a stampin' good time...and I must say it's great to be back.
