Foliage Thank You

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! I guess I should say happy Saturday. It was a busy day and I never got around to post this. I made this "thank yous" for my sister. She want something unisex and that is hard to do as most of my stamps are flowers. She loved this one so I'm making them for her.

Well, I better go and get some sleep. Saturday is another busy day for me. Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Love Box

Happy Thursday, everyone! Rainy day here in Vancouver but I like it that I get to stay home where it is warm inside. More reason to do some stamping.


A friend asked me to make a box cover for her. She made four clips for the table for a friend of hers. I'm not what they are called but you clip them to the four corners of the table to make your table look nice. She had the box bottom but needed the top. At first she wanted me to make an acetate top but I don't have any acetate. So I made a paper top instead.

I made the top to match the colours of the clips. What do you think? I really like it. My DH really loved it. It wasn't hard to make the top but it was hard to tape them together. Not very easy to work with something so big. I had to stamped the swirls 4 times before I get it right. I also made a cardboard backing to hold the clips down. I used the cardboard from the backing of the Designer Series Paper. Those backing are really useful.

Well, I'll be giving this box to her tonight. Our church is having our annual Missions Conference so I'll be seeing her. Gotta go and thank you for visiting today!

Happy Stamping!

Joy Card

Hello, everyone! Here is a Christmas card for you. Very simple one. I use the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder for the background and the sentiment is from the Scenic Season stamp set. The Christmas ornament is from the Delightful Decorations stamp set. I like this ornament the most from this stamp set and use it a lot.

Thank you for visiting today!

Nursery Meeting Decorations

Here are some pictures I took of the decorations. Not very fancy but I like it. Wish they have different colour table cloths for me to choose from.

I bought the center piece from Superstore (a Canadian supermarket).


I spread all the leaves on the table and I made pumpkins too to go on the table.


Here a close up of the pumpkins. Each pumpkin has 12 scallop circles or scallop ovals. I sponge each and everyone of them. It took me a long time to punch, glue and sponge all these pumpkins. I glad it is over. All the ladies loved the decorations. They were over joy when I let them take everything home. They literally took everything. Except the center piece that belongs to the church.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

For those of you who emailed me for the template for the holder I'll email you it to you when I get a chance to put it into the computer. I have to wait for my DH to help me with that. He's the computer pro in the family.

Happy Stamping!

Cutlery Holder

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! Today is a very busy day for me. I'm babysitting and after that I'll be going to a Nursery Meeting at night. So what's all those things in the above picture? They are cutlery holders. This was what I was talking about for the pass few days.


I made these to decorate for the Nursery Meeting. I made the pattern to hold a fork, a knife and a spoon. What do you think? You like? I love this holder!


Here is how it looks like with the cutlery in it.


Here is a close up of the front of the holder. The leaves are die cut. I sponged the leaves in Chocolate Chip ink and my fingers looked all brown after I don't know how many leaves I sponged. I made leaves to go on the table also so I'll show you that tomorrow.


Happy Stamping!

Thank you for visiting! Have a good day!

Autumn Thank You Card

Hello, everyone! Happy Wednesday! What a beautiful sunny fall weather today. Don't you just love the feeling of fall weather? I love all those changing colour of the leaves on the trees. They are so beautiful.

Here is a card inspired by all those beautiful fall leaves. This is a new stamp set called French Foliage from the Holiday Mini Catalogue. There are wonderful new stamp sets in there I must have. Not so crazy for the Halloween stuff. I love the the Designer Fabric Stampin'Up! is selling. I love fabrics. I used to sew a lot and make tons and tons of outfit. Now you have to have lots of money to sew. It is so much cheaper to buy clothing than sew them. Sigh!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Heart Card


Happy Tuesday, everyone! Here is a quick card for you. I have the heart piece laying around waiting to be use and finally I put it onto a card. What do you think of the card? I don't quite like it to much. It looks alright but it just doesn't stand out at all. Oh, well!

I'm busy making things to decorate our church for a Nursery Workers Meeting this Friday. I'll show you when I'm decorate the church this Friday. I'll take pictures I promise.

Thank you for visiting today! Have a good one!

Birthday Wishes Flowers Card

Hello, everyone! Happy Monday! I was busy this weekend moving all my stamping stuff downstairs to the living room. We separated the girls from my son so now he have his own room. That means I have to move out of one of the bedroom I used for stamping before.

This is of the card I made to give to my future SIL. I packaged up 20 different cards and gave them to her. It is her birthday today. Hope she likes them all. She is such a sweetheart.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Halloween Treats

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! I don't celebrate Halloween but my sisters and nephew does. So I made these little treat for them to give to their friends at school.

A sour cream container with a little bag of Mott's Fruit Sensation inside.

The sour cream container is made with a quarter sheet of Whisper White cardstock. The bottom of the container is sealed and the top it not. The opening is tie with a ribbon and can be open when you take the ribbon out. This way the kids (might) not ruin the container if any of them care to keep it. But with kids you never know.

Thank you fro stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Long, Long Time...

Hello, everyone! It has been a long time since I last post. I've been busy, lazy, sad and many other things coming to me all at once. Crafting just became the back burner of it all and now I'm trying to get back into stamping. I did manage to make "thank you" cards for my sister. She is married now so she needed them to thank people. It is a very simple "thank you" card cause that is the way my sister likes it and is easy for me to do to get back to stamping groove.


Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome, Little One

Happy Wednesday, everyone! It is starting to feel like summer here in Vancouver. Very hot today but I'm not complaining.

I made this card for a friend back in May. She wanted a few of some baby cards to have on hand to give away when a baby is born. I made her different ones so she doesn't have to give the same style card to different baby.

This baby stamp set is retired and I love it very much. I used it a lot but I think it is time for a new baby stamp set. I like the new Baby Bundle stamp set in the new catalogue so it'll be in my next order. Yay! New stamp set is always nice!

supplies:
stamp-welcome, little one
papers-whisper white, pretty in pink, crushed curry
inks-melon mambo
accessories-polka-dots grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge border punch, corner rounder punch, pastels

Thank you for visiting today. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Tropical Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Here is a card I made using the Tropical Party stamp set. I got this set since it was available to buy and it was sitting there waiting for me to ink it up.


I embossed the background paper using the Square Lattice Textured Impression Embossing Folder. The scallop behind the sentiment is the new 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra-Large punch. Love it! The only problem is that my 1-3/4" Circle punch is broken. I have to get another one if I want to make cards with this new scallop punch. Another item add to my ever growing wish list.

supplies:
stamps - tropical party, well scripted
papers - whisper white, pumpkin pie, rose red
inks - pumpkin pie, rose red, tempting turquoise, old olive, chocolate chip
accessories - Square Lattice Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Big Shot machine, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra-Large punch, 1-13/4" Circle punch

Thank you for stopping and have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping!

Wedding Invitations

What have I been up to? I have been making wedding invitations for my sister, finished up homeschooling and scan work samples to send to the teacher. Babysit in the morning so by night time I'm pooped. I just want to sit around and do nothing after the baby leaves. Now that everything is done (except babysitting) I can start creating some cards with new stamp sets and accessories. Yay! Love the new catalogue and the cover is so beautiful!

Here is the invitation I made for my sister. It is the same one in the 2009-2010 catalogue. The catalogue doesn't show the outside of the invite so I made up my own look. What do you think? Beautiful isn't it?

Here is the inside of the invitation. I changed it a little where the RSVP holder is and the top of the invites. I also coloured in the flowers on the invites with a sponge dauber.

Here is a closer view of the RSVP card holder.


supplies:
stamps- wedding sweet, to have and to hold
papers- chocolate chip, linen paper (non SU)
inks- close to cocoa, Versa Mark
accessories- big shot machine, elegant bouquet textured impression folder, clear and white embossing powder, kraft taffeta ribbon, eyelet border punch, sponge dauber



Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Watercolor Trio

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I was going to write Monday instead. I had a stat holiday on Monday and now my days are mix up.

This card is almost one layer card but I can't seem have no layers on my card. I did the faux tearing technique for this card. The Watercolor Trio stamp set is perfect to make this kind of card. No colouring involve. My favourite kind of set.

Remember I told you that my camera lens was broken and it doesn't do auto focus anymore? Well, a friend bought a new lens and he never liked his old one (we have the same camera). He didn't want to keep his old lens so he gave it to us. Yippee! Praise the Lord for that! What a blessing our friend is! Now, I don't have to manual focus my projects anymore. lol

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Victorian Flowers

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! It is our civic holiday long weekend this week. We are not going anywhere or doing anything special for this long weekend because DH have to fly to Calgary for a funeral. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to make more cards to show you.

Aren't these flowers beautiful? I love them but not sure what kind of flower it is. This stamp is from the Elements of Style stamp set from the Summer Mini. I add some Dazzling Diamonds on a flower where the sentiment is. Can't really see it that well. It is kinda blurry. My camera lens is broken. It doesn't do auto focus anymore so I have to focus the picture manually. You can tell I'm not to good at focusing it manually.

Thank you for visiting today and have a wonderful weekend!

Sweet Scoop

Happy Thursday! Ice cream anyone? I love ice cream. This is a new Sweet Scoop stamp set from the Summer Mini catalogue. What a fun stamp set to have especially for making birthday cards. Kids will love it when you give them an ice cream hand stamped birthday card. I know my kids will cause they love to eat ice cream so much. Always ask for ice cream when we go out and after supper.

Thank you for stopping by!
