Tulips Candles and Wishes Easel Card

This card was photographed before I had set up my tent so the quality is not as good!

I have a sister-in-law that has always been an inspiration to me. She is one of those people that you admire for her honesty, integrity, humor, kindness and overall pleasing personality. My kids have always called her Saint Jean!  I made this card for her two months ago when I came across this tulip paper by Reminisce. She has always loved tulips. Her birthday was this week and the card sent off so I can post it now.

I love the easel cards and they are so simple to make.  I hope she enjoys it and you are inspired to make one yourself.

Supplies:
Spellbinders Motifs
EK Success Border Punch
Stampin' Up Whimsical Words and Heard From the Heart
Reminisce In Bloom Paper

Later this week I will be posting some Blog Candy!  Stop in and leave a comment on that post to be included in the random drawing for a little treat!

Oh Boy !

 

I thought today I would move a little out of my comfort zone and make a boys card using an unusual embellishment, (at least for me), cardboard!  Now I'm sure most of you have done this many times but I have never attempted it before.  So off to the garage I went and ripped off one of the flaps from a box and then peeled one layer off.  I used my Spellbinders star Nestibilities to cut it out and a smaller size of the same die to cut out the center. Then instead of throwing the cut out away I just attached a button and used it too. I painted them both with an Adirondack Metalic paint Dabber in Pearl to give it some color. Not usually my cup of tea but I was happy with it.

Supplies:

Tools:    Spellbinders Star Nestibilities

Paper:  Graphic45 Playtimes Past Collection, Mary Mary Quite Contrary   and K&Co Tommy's Toys Blue Plaid (an old collection).

Sentiment:  Verve, To The Moon

Cherries

Been a busy week but I finally had a chance to think about a card.  Our local grocery had a new supply of cherries this week. They were so good and I remembered this piece of Webster's papers that was hiding in my stash. Perfect! Cherries it was. I decided to simply to go with the sentiment that was printed on the paper so I just added some scalloped trim, a bow, a crepe paper flower and a little cut out behind the bow for added dimension.

In all it was pretty simple and just what I needed for a quick card.

Lace border:    Martha Stewart
Ribbon:            Rayon Seam binding
Flower:            Crepe Paper
Doily:              Spellbinders

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Christmas In July #Two

 

This year seems to be going extra fast! It's almost the middle of July already. I've been looking around the net and I'm not the only one thinking about Christmas. It's kind of fun to work on Christmas cards this early. I hope you all feel the same. Just think if you start now you won't have to be in such a rush come December. I had this Bo Bunny paper stuck in a drawer and it was just calling out to be combined together. I usually stick with the standard red and green but wanted something different and this is what I came up with.

Supplies: 

Paper:    Bo Bunny a Gift of Love

Tools:    Spellbinders 2010 Heritage Ornament, Scalloped Ovals, Regular

              Ovals and Labels 4.  MFT Die-Namics Dizzy Border.
Ribbon: Hand dyed seam binding.
Sentiment:  An old one that no longer has it package, sorry.

I wanted a smaller ornament for the backing than the next size up in the set so I just hand cut with an exacto knife around the outside of the ornament I used for the ornament itself. Hope that makes sense to you, it's kind of hard to explain.

Peaches and Cream

Peaches and Cream

Summertime and the livin' is easy.......Peaches and cream, oh how good that was when I was growing up. My dad grew the best peaches and he always shared his coffee cream with me to pour over them. Somehow, this card reminds me of of that. Just a simple card, nothing really fancy, just like my dad was.

Supplies: Spellbinders scalloped squares. On hand ribbon and some paper from my stash.

Enjoy your wonderful summertime week-end and thanks for stopping by.

Best Friends

I hope you are all having a great 4th of July.  Nice to have a holiday and celebrate our wonderful Free nation. Sometimes we take for granted the privileges of our freedom. We are surely blessed in the USA.

 

 Friends sharing lunch, secrets, laughs, ideas, that's what friendship is all about. Sometimes we forget to take time to enjoy friends and family. Today is one of those days when we all get together and celebrate what is important to us all, our freedom.  Lets all remember the men and women who have sacrificed to protect that freedom.
