Lots of New Cards

Yesterday we had our "blizzard." TONS of snow 6" on top of 1/4-1/2" ice. Blowing snow like 25 mph. Anyway, we spent the day inside HWY 52 was still closed this morning as of an hour ago it was "roadway is mostly covered with mixed snow ice or slush, towing services prohibited" Anyway, I made 4 cards yesterday and one more to finish today. Here are the first 3: they are for my virtual demo's Case The Collection series. I do not have all of the sets or anything like some of the SU articles so I deviated to my own collection.

This is the CTC Page 110. I used stash flower, ribbon, light purple cardstock and button brad I believe is Making Memories. The Green Cardstock/Ink is Green Galore and Classic Ink pad by Stampin up and the Smile stamp is from Wonderful Words II(retired, I think).

This is the CSC Pg. 108. The green pattern paper is from a SLAB, Scrap pink and white cardstock. Ribbon is from Michaels. I used Craft White pad from SU. Flower stamp is from a retired set, the Celebrate Life is from So Many Sayings (Both SU). The swirl is a Autumn Leaves stamp from Target. The Circle stamp is from Papertrey Ink. I used white/sliver glitter embossing powder and SU dimentionals behind cutouts. I also used QK flower and circle diecuts in my cuttlebug.

This is the CSC Pg. 32. It is 3x3 card. SU Products: Green Galore CS, White Craft Ink, Apple from retired set, Medallion from Wanted, Not Quite Navy Cardstock and Real Red and Green Galore Markers. The Ribbon is from Michaels. Cut the Circle out with my QK Revolution die. and I embossed navy with my dots Fiskars texture plate.

Happy Valentine's Day

Forgot to scan hubbies card, waiting for him to open so I can snag it quick. He said he would open it later!!! :)

DON'T FORGET PAPERTREY INK'S REVEAL and BIRTHDAY PARTY starting at 10 tonight.

Budding CardMaker/Scrapper

These are my dd's valentine's. I cut them using my Creative Memories CCS system's Heart shape and the blue blade. However, all the rest was created and designed by her. Her comment was that this year her valentine's were BEAUTIFUL and last year's were not. (She made them last year too and I thought most of the them looked great--the others were her being too much of a hurry to work carefully--more lets just get them done. And she stamped them and she had not done a ton of stamping before that.) She thinks she has to be "prefect" like "mom's cards." Ha Ha she just never sees the fugly ones I cover up or throw away. Mom makes plenty of mistakes. So when I do now, I make sure she sees how and if I can fix them.

Anyway--didn't she do good?

My Uncle Ralph's Turning 89!

My Great Uncle Ralph is turning 89 on Feb 10. This is the card I CASED from Jan Tink

R U READY?

I am so READY! Ask my family. I have been squealing like a teenager again. WHY do you ask? I'll tell you why. There is a rumor the my guys NKOTB are COMING BACK! I am so there. I am already signed up on their site for updates and listened to the new teaser song that is said to be recorded by ALL 5 guys back in Nov 2007. OH WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE!

Sorry this is not a stamping post but I CAN NOT WAIT. Donnie is my favorite. Always has been always will be. He even was on my first date with my hubby. He was a supporting roll in the movie Ransom. His named popped up on the screen during the beginning and I looked at my date (hubby now) and thought NO WAY, it CANT be. And it was. He was the nice kidnapper. Just like him. LOL

YEAH ME! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!

Another Valentine Card

This is one of the cards I made around New Years that I rejected as a Class project. I liked the other one (see previous post) better. Everything is basic stock. White cardstock, Pink and red ink spots, vellum. Not sure who the Love Script Heart made, I bought stamp off internet yahoo group. The red string is from Michaels christmas ribbon section. The Letter beads and Eyelets are from Target $ spot.

My First Card Class!

I am teaching my first card class in Feb. Here are 3 of the cards I am planning to teach.

The first is a valentine one that started with taking a scrap piece of paper and cutting out a heart using my Creative Memories CCS heart. Then I placed it over some vellum and rubbed white ink using the heart as a stencil. Then I found a heart background from Google. The ribbons are some I have had from Michaels and the heart button is from there also. The white heart brads are probably Making Memories. Main cardstock is light pink.

Card # 2 is Orange Bazill paper. The Giraffe is a Cuttle bug animal that I used scraps for. The Giraffe clip is from my LSS that has the same giraffe on the front this is the back of the magnetic bookmark. The 3 eyelets are sliver. The green and tan card stock are scraps. The stamps are SU suitable for framing set.
Card # 3 is one I made a few years ago at my mom's LSS called the Memory Box in Mora, MN (it is closed now) All the paper is generic or scraps. The Under the Weather is printed off my computer with a free font of the internet. The eyelets are unknown
