Flowers of Gratitude

Hi Everyone,
Boy, I know spring is around the corner, I am in a cleaning and reorganizing mode. I finally put my embossing folders in categories and now I will be able to find what I need, faster. I even used 2 different folders on the card I want to share with you today.

Recently Sparkle n Sprinkle introduced a new set called Pansy, set 479. This is the prettiest set and it reminds me of spring. Pansies and Viola's love cool weather, they seem to be the first flowers out at the nurseries so I am sure we will be seeing these beauties soon around here.Since they love cool temps, they will even survive some light snows. I love seeing these pretty flowers peeking out on cool sunny days.

Here is a card that I finished today using this pretty new set.

No ribbon on this card ..... I thought those pearls would work just as well.

I used one of those mini 8 punches from We R Memory Keepers on that white glossy cs. They are really great and I have figured out ways to get a few different looks other than the ones that are suggested by the company. I just punched on the opposite corners to get this look.

Well thanks for stopping by today and I will see you soon.

Make and Take

Hi Everyone
I  thought I'd show you  two cards that I made using some 3-D sheets made by Hot Off The Press. These are so easy to work with and make a really pretty card.

Each of the 3-D sheets give you the capability of making 3-4 different cards.You just need some card stock for the card itself. Let me show you a few of the cards I worked on today.

The snowflakes are popped up.

You may notice the punched areas on the cards above. I used Mini 8 Punches. One design is Snowflake and the other is Flourish. These are by We R Memory Keepers and I really love these punches and the looks that you can achieve.I even came up with a bag topper for a smaller bag. Check this out!!!

I made a total of 17 different cards using quite a few of the different  HOTP 3D Paper Tole Die Cuts. All the cards will be examples of M and T cards that will be available to be made at Stamping Buddies.

I will be at Stamping Buddies, Saturday Oct 27, 1p.m. - 4 p.m. for Make & Take Saturday. Each month Stamping Buddies will be hosting a Make and Take on the last Saturday of the month. This month and next month, the theme of the M and T's is Christmas. The M and T's are only $1.00 per card which is a great price for a beautiful card. You will pick the card you want to make, assemble the 3D Paper Tole portion of the card, use the Mini 8 Punch on a background panel and then finish the card.

For those of you in the Greater Cincinnati area, stop in at Stamping Buddies 4343 E Galbraith Rd.Cincinnati, Ohio on Oct 27 between 1p.m. - 4 p.m. to make a pretty card and have a fun time.I'd love to see ya.

Thanks for stopping in here today!!
