Heaven Blessed- fast & easy

Today I get to brag about my oldest son! He is really into film making, he takes thre classes relating to film as a Senior in High School and is currently an intern for a film company.  Yesterday was the School Film Festival Ryan had several film projects entered in several catagories, he won 3 first place(2 minute comedy, music video and short film) and one second place(short film) and his films will be going onto State. So proud of my boy!

With Sale-a-bration almost at an end there is only a few days left you get free stamping supplies!

• The card base is from the Simply Sent Everyday Elegance card kit and it is free with a $50 order!
• The bunny from Heaven Blessed was stamped with Stazon onto Watercolor paper and colored with Ink and an Aqua Painter, then  The phrase was added below the image stamped with Island Indigo. Then it was cut with the smallest Label Framelit die using the Big Shot.
• Using the smallest Label Framelit 2 Daffodil Delight CS were cut each was cut in half a different direction and layered behind the image to frame it.  A piece on Island Indigo CS was cut with the next size larger Framelit and the image was layered onto it and the it was added to the Card Front.
• This card goes together pretty quick!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Easter is Coming

For this years Easter class we made a card, basket and sucker covers, here is the basket and suckers.

• Basket instructions can be found at http://www.thelittleblueroom.com/2009/10/make-take-mondaya-little-late.html. I changed it to have one handle that I made using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and used Pear Pizzazz CS for the basket.  The bunny has been around for a few years, I made mine with Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and Pretty in Pink CS
• I am sorry I can't find where I saw the sucker covers, I thought I saw it on Stampin' Connection the demo only site the Stampin' Up! provides. but I couldn't locate the picture(often I see a project that interests me and instead of hunting down instructions I figure it out on my own). The cover is made with the Two Tags die.
• I used the book mark looking tagcand used a 5" x 2 1/2" piece of Pool Party CS scored and folded it in half, placed it on the die with the fold just above the bottom cut line so that when cut the scallops are on both ends. I scored it just under the scallops and then punched a small hole in the fold. I scored it again 4 1/2" down from that score. 
• I made the the mini punch art pieces on 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punched CS. The egg is the Small Oval cut 1/3 the way down in a jagged cut, the chick is a So Saffron small flower from the Boho Flower punch the eyes are the sprinkles from the Cupcake Builder punch.
• The bunny is the Small Oval for the body, a 3/4" circle for the head and the ears are from the daisy on the Blossom Party die. The Tail is the small heart from the Owl punch.

If you like these let me know and if anyone knows who came up with the sucker idea let me know, I am pretty sure the covers I saw were Valentine's. Thanks.

• Using markers I colored the stamp with Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade and stamped it onto Very Vanilla CS, the bee was stamped with Stazon and then colored with So Saffron. The CS was then ran through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice embossing folder. The image was then layered onto Rich Razzleberry CS and then onto the front of the card.

Apothecary Art

Here is another card in my Tuesday Card Buffet. This one uses Apothecary Art and matching Framelit.

• The card base is Whisper White that has the front ran through the Big Shot with the Finial Press embossing folder.
• I inked the image in Calypso Coral and stamped it on a scrap of Whisper White CS and then cut it out with a Framelit.  After cleaning the stamp I used markers to color the image in the center(Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade) stamped it onto another scrap and found the corresponding circle punch and punched, popped the center with Dimensionals.
• I cut a Calypso Coral CS with the next size larger Framelit, centered it near the top of the card and then used Dimensionals to pop the image up on it.

Happy St Patrick's Day card 1

St. Patrick's Day isn't a holiday I enjoy, in fact I had my youngest daughter induced on the 16th so I wouldn't have a St. Paddy's baby.  That being said, I had the need for two cards this year. I customer asked if I had two she could buy, I said yes and headed to the stamp room to make them before she came by and snapped the picture with my phone. The only stamp I had is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

• The card base is Naturals White with the front embossed with the Framed Tulips embossing folder using my Big Shot.
• I used the Big Shot and the Scallop Envelop Die, the reverse side of this DSP(Everyday Enchantment SAB) is Peach so I took a coordinating and cut the flap area about 1/2" longer then the flap and lined the inside.
• From all the different green scraps that I have I punched hearts and made 3 and 4 leaf clovers and spilled them out of the envelope.
• The phrase was stamped in Wild Wasabi onto the card front.
• I colored a few rhinestones with a green sharpie and added the to the centers of a few clover.
• The Good Luck is from Delightful Dozen and was stamped onto a scrap of Naturals White and punched with the 1 1/4" circle punch layered onto a Lucky Limeade CS circle 1 3/8"

My customer was happy with the card.  I'll post the second card I made her in the near future.

So if you think this set is as funny as I do you might want to come on Tuesday and make a card with it.
