Love of My Life

Hello everyone!
  I'm still in the midst of purging and re-arranging(again) my craft space, but thought I would stop and post this simple card for you. I made this a couple of weeks ago at a weekend crop. I have an anniversary coming soon and thought this would be perfect! Of course, having this new WOTG card kit didn't hurt either. I just loved the sentiment to begin with and then the wheels started turning! I think the "enabler" will get a kick out of it! Thanks for taking time out of your day to peek in on me, and I hope you like what you see!

 Supplies- CTMH: "Lollydoodle" WOTG card kit (papers,sequins and sentiment), Teal shimmer trim is from the "Cloud Nine" kit. Inside: ketchup bottle from,  Cricut "Block Party" cartridge , french fries and container  hand drawn and fussy cut.

Happy Spring!

Hey Ya'll!
   Just thought I would pop in to wish everyone a Happy Spring and to show you the wreath I made for my Daughter to go on her door.I recently made a wreath from a kit I purchased from Stampin' Up, and my daughter liked it so much she wanted me to make her one.She purchased a wreath form from Michaels and I used papers and ribbon from my stash(which I'm still purging, I keep finding stuff I forgot I had!) and this is what I came up with!

 

     I used fringe scissors for the "fluffy" flowers cut out some circles to form the large flowers and cut out a few leaves and some large spikey bases for another flower. Then I punched out some spikey small flowers for the centers. All in all it turned out better than I thought it would. Here's a picture of the S.U. wreath I used for inspiration. I used feathers instead of leaves.

Supplies- S.U.: Burlap and Blooms Simply Created Wreath Kit as the inspiration piece,  Stamped feathers: CTMH "Feathers" Seasons and Nature.

My wreath- CTMH: Burlap ribbon, Large Spikey flower: Cricut cart "Mother's Day Bouquet", Fringe Flowers: Martha Stewart fringe scissors, Leaves: Sizzix Thinlet "Branch w/ Leaves #3" Flower centers: Fiskars punch, Buttons from my stash.

Feel Better

Hello everyone!
  My goodness, I didn't realize I had been away so long! I have been under the weather a bit, but still trying to keep busy. I got the idea for this card from a Stampin' Up demonstrator. It's quick and easy, and is basically a reverse gate fold card. The back middle panel has been matted and stamped with a sentiment. I used some retired paper from Close To My Heart and a new stamp and punch bundle from S.U. When I made this card, my annual "change of the season lots of pollen in the air allergies" had kicked in and I suppose I was trying to make myself feel better. I guess it worked! I have been busy purging and organizing (spring cleaning) and card making....... I hope at least some of you are experiencing this wonderful spring weather. Thanks for dropping by!

 Supplies-  CTMH: Retired paper "Dreamin'", S.U.: Flowers "Petite Petals" bundle, Sentiment "Sassy Salutations", Labels "Oval" Framelits. 

Hugs

Hello everyone!
  I hope you all had a fabulous Valentines with lots of wining and dining and chocolate galore! I am winding down the "birthday season" with two more cards. This one was for my Mother that I couldn't post till now.I did hers with the Iris Folding technique, which is really fun to do. She loved it! Of course it was also done in her favorite color, pink! I also pain-stakingly cut the ribbon by hand, which wasn't the most fun at all!  I guess I was deep in the "create" mode when I decided to do it, Lol! I'm pretty sure there is a Cricut cut similar to it on some cartridge!
  Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed making!

You and me

Hey everyone!
  I thought I would try something new and use a different font. Let me know what you think in the comments please! Today's card is another "use your stash" card. I'm trying desperately to re-organize and reduce my stash as part of my New Years resolutions. I'm getting there slowly but surely as long as I don't break down and buy anything new,LOL! I made a funny! 
  This card began with a pre-made card base and another one of those dollar bin doilies.The banners were also in a tiny kit I purchased at Hobby Lobby at the end of the season last year.I didn't like the letters that came with the pennants, so I stamped my own and blinged them up! thanks for taking time to look......stay warm!

Supplies- Close To My Heart: You + Me from "Who's Your Valentine", dimensional chipboard heart  Robert Stanley Craft Collection: Chipboard pennants, Ranger: Stickles in silver, Recollections: Card base, Doily from Target dollar bins, Studio G "love" stamp, Pearls from my stash.

Hello everyone!
  I am so happy that my blog has finally been restored, and she even changed the title around a little! I really didn't like the plain Jane look and even though this is the same background, it's been so long, that everything looks bright and new to me.
  For my card today I really just used the paper as my inspiration and went from there. I stamped a couple of doilies( can you tell I:m into doilies lately), did some cutting and punching, added some embellishments, and there you have it! Another quick and easy valentine! I'm so glad you stopped by to take a look. Please keep warm and dry and safe in this crazy weather!

Supplies- Paper: MME "Love Me" 6x6 pad, Stamped doilies: SU "Delicate Doilies", Punched doily: SU "Triple Doily" punch on metal,Top border: Sizzix Edgeabilities "Classic Ric Rac",Sentiment: Paper Studio everyday stamp "Artwork" wet embossed, Birds: Colorbok "Flea Market".
