Notecard Holder Instructions

As promised, here are the instructions on how to make the notecard holder I posted yesterday. I know my photos are really hard to see so just follow these steps.

1. Start with an 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock.
2. On the 11" side, score at 3", 3.5", 8", & 8.5"
3. On the 8.5" side, score at 3/4", 1 1/4", 7 1/4", & 7 3/4"
4. Trim each corners up to the 3.5" score line and down to the 8" score line.
6. Where the 2 black dots are in the photo, you can punch holes and string ribbon through to make the purse handles.
5. Fold score lines and assemble. You can use velcro to close the notecard holder.

I hope you have fun making this and have a great weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Here are some fun Halloween treats I made for the occasion. Both of the are CASE'd. The mummy from SCS: akjuda and unfortunately I can't remember who I cased the other one from. Akjuda has a great tutorial on her blog on how to make the little mummy treats. When I saw these, I thought they were so cute and just had to make them myself. I used the 2 piece mini Kit Kat bars as the candy inside.

Stamp Sets: Booglie Eyes
DS Paper: Creepy Crawly
CS: Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Basic Black

Happy Birthday Spinner Card

Here's a fun and simple spinner card I made. I used the Happy Everything stamp set and Three For You Punch Box. I did this card at a workshop and it was a really great card for a group to do. My guests really enjoyed the learning how to make a spinner card and it was simple enough to do in terms of supplies for a group. Plus, I used my punches for the spinning part and that really simplified things while keeping things interesting.

Here are the supplies I used:
Stamp Sets: Happy Everything, Three For You
CS: Almost Amethyst, Barely Banana, Rose Red, Certainly Celery
Ink: Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, Basic Black
Accessories: Ticket Corner Punch, Word Window, Scallop Punch, Nesting Circle Punches, Rose Red Brads

Asian Wedding Card

As a follow up to my last card, here's another one I made with the same layout. This time, the card is for a friend who is getting married. I use this layout a lot when I make cards to give to people for occasions because it's really simple and it's easy for me to pick a color combo to match their theme. I matched the invite of the wedding for this card. I got the stamp from See Saw Graphics, a company that sells a lot of Asian Stamps and embossed the image in gold on the red circle. They have a lot of really cute stamps!

Here's what I used:

Stamps: See Saw Graphics
Paper: SU White Glossy CS, Gold CS, Real Red
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Gold Cord, Cuttlebug, Corner Rounder Punch, Gold EP, Giga & Mega Circle Scallop Punches

30

I made this card for my friend's 30th Birthday party. The colors for her party were red, black and white, so I matched them on her card. I used my Cuttlebug with this one and my Stampin' Up and Uchida Mega punches. After I put the piece of red through the Cuttlebug, I sponged Whisper White Kraft on it to bring out the swirls. Up close, it has a nice velvety effect.

So, here are the supplies I used for this card:

Stamp Sets: Typeset Alphabet Lower
CS: Real Red, Basic Black, Glossy White
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Basic Black
Accessories: Wide Black Organza, Mega Circle Scallop Punch, SU Nesting Circle Punches Paper Piercer, White Gel Pen

Booglie Eyes Card

Hapy Monday! Halloween is right around the corner so I decided to make the card with the Booglie Eyes stamp set. I think this set is so fun! I stamped and colored the images with markers and then punched them out with the 1 1/4" square punch. Then I adhered them with dimensionals.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp Sets: Booglie Eyes
CS: Only Orange, Brocade Blue,Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Sponge, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" nesting square punches

Hope you have a great day and thanks for looking!

Hi There.

I made this card with the super cute Cutie Pie DS Paper. I think that is my favorite DS paper from the catalog! I love the color combo of it along with the flowers. This is a simple card I made focusing on the type. I got to use the Label Classics stampe set which I really like, but don't use very often. This one is pretty self explanatory so let me just share what supplies I used:

Stamp Sets: Label Classics, Typeset Alphabet Lower
DS Paper: Cutie Pie
CS: Bashful Blue, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Fairy Tale Ribbon, Dimesionals

Fabulous Flower Card

Here's another one of my favorite stamp sets from the Fall-Winter Collection! I wasn't sure what to think about the big flower, when I first saw it, but of course, I saw samples from SCS and the Stampin' Up convention and now I am the proud owner of this set!

For this card, I stamped 3 flowers and cut them out all at different sizes so I could layer them. I used Rose Red Craft ink and embossed it with Irridescent Ice EP. It's kinda hard to see in the photo though. Then I topped it off with a half bead from Paper Pretties, which I completely in love with too!

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp Sets: Fabulous Flowers, Polka Dots & Paisley, Happy Everything
Cardstock: Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Rose Red Craft, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Pureply Pomegranate Ribbon, Pretties Kit, Oval Punch, Irridescent Ice EP

True Friend Card

Here's a card I made with the True Friend stamp set and the Apple Cider DS paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I was experimenting with the layout and design and came up with this. I wasn't too crazy about the Apple Cider paper when I first saw it, but once I saw all the samples SCS, I just had to have it! Now I love it, but isn't that always the story? Well, here's what I used:

Stamp sets: True Friend
DS Paper: Apple Cider
CS: Kraft, Pumpkin Pie, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, & Chocolate Chip Markers, Ticket Corner Punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, ticket corner punch

Bronc Buster Card

Here's a card I a made last night with the Bronc Buster set. This was one of the first stamps set I bought when the Fall-Winter Collection came out. I thought this set was really cool and different and I just had to have it! However, once I got it, I couldn't figure out what to do with it! I was having major stampers block. Last night though, I kept playing with it until I came up with something. In the end, I am really happy with the way it turned out!

Here's what I used:

Stamp Set: Bronc Buster, Linen, Three For You Punch Box
DS Paper: Outlaw
CS: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel

Pallette 'O Prints

I got my new Pallette O Prints sampler pack this week and made this card with it. I love the colors SU decided to put in the pack! I used the Bodacious Bouquet and Warmest Regards stamps sets. The big flower was stamped in Rose Red Craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. The other flowers were stamped with Classic Ink. I used the Giga Scallopped Circle punch along with my Creative Memories Circle Cutters. The cardstock I used was Chocolate Chip. I also used the Paper Piercer, Soft Subtle Brads and White Gel Pen. I really enjoy this sampler pack and see a lot of potential with it!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
