Roses Birthday Wishes Card

Good day everyone! I had a great Thanksgiving celebration this past weekend. Had 2 turkey dinners and had some left over for the week. Not as much as other years where we eat left overs for days. We usually make turkey sandwiches and they are the best.

I made a birthday card with roses background paper. Couldn't find a rose stamp so I used the Fresh Vintage stamp for the main image. Close enough, I think. I got the colour swatch from the background paper and  then coloured the image by using markers. Very easy to do.

Turkey Favour Boxes

Hello, blog stamper friends! Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers! I'm thankful for each and everyone of you (far and near and all parts of the World) for coming by and visit my blog. 

I invited some friends over for Thanksgiving dinner and made everyone a turkey favour box to take home. I filled it with some sweet treats. Aren't these turkey cute? I love them! My girls wants one too.

The turkeys was made with a Petal Cone Die. Did I ever tell you that I love this die? There are so many possibilities with this die. The tail was made with Scallop Circle Die.  The beak, eyes and the wattle are made from punches.

I made 2 different tails but I like the one on the right more so that's what I made instead for everyone.

Thank you for visiting today! Happy creating!

Sweet One Baby Card and Thank You Cards

Happy Friday everyone! I'm going to 2 baby shower tonight. I was able to make some cards last night and it was good to be able to stamp something. It is a combine shower for a baby girl and a baby boy. I made this card for the baby girl.

 I made few "thank you" cards for the mother to use. The "thank you" cards matches the baby card. They are the same layout cards but just the background papers are different.

Candy Corn Box

My daughter Faith loves candy corn so I made her a box to hold her candy corn. I made one for Hope and Jarod too.

I'm not a fan of candy corn but I love the candy corn box. No calories! That's the best part! I used the Petal Cone Die to make the box.  It took a few tries to get the right measurements but I finally got it. If you have been following my blog for awhile you know I love the Petal Cone Die that Stampin'Up! use to sell and I use it a lot.

Sorry, no tutorial for this box. I don't get around to do tutorials anymore.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Colourful Leaves Thank You Card

Hello, stampers! Another fall card for you. I was trying to make a card with the swirly on it but it didn't not turn out the way I've envision. It still looks good though. Because I moved my stamps to a different part of the room I couldn't find a certain stamp that I wanted to use. I found the Baroque Motifs stamp set instead. It has a swirly stamp in it so it works out too.


 

The leaves are die cuts. I cut them out and then sponge them. Tied the leaves with a twine at the stems and then adhere them onto the card. Fast and easy card.

Autumn Thank You Card

Hello, stampers! Summer season is almost over and we're into the fall season soon. I love fall. I love the leaves when they turn to different shades of colours. Everywhere I go there is beautiful colours around me. That's the beauty of God's creation. Just thinking about fall gives me the inspiration to make this card.

I used the leaf and acorns from the Gently Falling stamp set, Weathered stamp for the background and the Because I Care stamp for the sentiment to make this card. Very simple. Hope you like it.

Have good day! Happy Stamping!

Josesph's Coat Card

Hi, stampers! Happy Labour Day! Look what I found while cleaning and moving my stamping supplies? A Joseph's Coat technique card front I made a while ago. I finally made it into a card and added a "happy birthday" sentiment to the card.

I made mine in blue instead of the multi colours the technique ask for. You can view the Joseph's Coat technique tutorial here.

French Foliage Thank You Card

Good day! I made a simple "thank you" card using the French Foliage stamp set. The leaf is very light in colour after I embossed the white card stock. Next time I'll use a darker colour ink so it'll show up more. I like how the card turn out even though it is hard to see the images.

I have been busy moving my stamping supplies to a different room (would love to have my own stamping room) and purge what ever I don't need or want anymore. I'm not done yet. Takes forever it seems. I can't believe I have so many stamping supplies that I haven't use. Time to do something with them.

Sharing In Your Sorrow Card

Hi, stampers! While I was on my vacation my Pastor's dad passed away. Pastor told us that he was given a special funeral service because he served in the marine when is was young. I think that was awesome.

I made this card for my Pastor for condolence. I have not stamp for awhile and was rusty at making this card. I was stuck on ideas. Hopefully once my kids go back to school I'll have more time to stamp  and get my mojo back.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

The Secret Trip

Hello, everyone! It has been awhile since I last post. Been away a lot. I helped out at my church annual camp Y.E.S! for a week a half, come home for few days just so I can do the laundry, packed again and then off on a trip for my husband Martin's 40th birthday. Remember back in December I made a tag for him as a Christmas present? On it I wrote that he is going on a secret trip for his birthday. Well, last week we went on the secret trip. I didn't tell him what he is getting into until 12 mins before we arrived at our destination. It was a special meeting so I wanted him to be very surprise. I kept it from him for 8 months and it was not easy to do. So, what I did was I asked a pastor to play for Martin for an hour. Martin loves his style of music. The pastor agreed so we flew all the way to Connecticut to meet him. From the west coast to the east coast. Pastor Cary Schmidt is very nice, funny and easy to talk to. It was a privilege to meet him and his family. We had fun listening and watching him play and fellowship with him and his wife. Martin's heart is content now that he met Cary Schmidt. Cary Schmidt also writes many helpful and encouraging books that can be purchase at Striving Together Publications. You can also get his music there too. He has a blog that I love to visit and truly is an encouraging blog. It has help me a lot.

Thank you for stopping by! I will post some creative things for you to see soon.

Crochet Flowers With Matching Box

I made a cute little for putting the crocheted flowers in.

Here's a close up of a paper flower I made using the Floral Frames Framelits. I cut 3 out and stacked them together to form a 3D flower.

The ribbon holds the box together. It is not attach to the box so it can be easily slide in and out.

I crocheted 2 roses for my friend. One pink and one red. I know she likes red but not too sure about the pink colour. They look good together in the box though.


Thank you for visiting my blog today! Happy Stamping!

Flowery Birthday Cards

I tried something new this weekend. I made 2 birthday cards with cut out flowers from the Secret Garden stamp set.

 This card has pink flower on it. I used a pink marker to colour the flower.

 This card has a white flower on it. I got lazy and didn't want to colour the flower. I like the way it is.

 I stamped the flowers twice for each flowers and then cut them out. Did some bending to them and then layer them together. Very pretty! I love it a lot. They need to be put into a larger envelope because of the raised flower. The regular A2 size envelope will not fit.

Globe Thank You Card

Hi, stampers! Not much stamping done lately. I was sick for almost 2 weeks. Another flu. Sigh! This is my fourth one this year. Couldn't get clean my house all those days.

Anyway, I'm happy I was able to get some card making this past weekend. I had the globe image sitting on my desk for awhile and finally made a card with it. Just a simple card but I love it because it is in blue colour.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Story Tags

Hi stampers,

As you all know, my DH has an etsy store that sells tags. Price tags, labels etc. for crafts and pricing things. Just a few weeks ago he was asked for a custom cut order of thick mat board circles. It was just an ordinary tag order but had to be rushed. Anyways, he fulfilled the order and shipped it to the destination earlier than expected. Today he got a letter detailing to him what the tags were used for. To make a long story short here is a quote of the letter he got and some pics. 

"Martin - forgive the time it took for me to get back to you. 

 

Enclosed are a couple of pictures. We are a children's 

 

program for kids who have had someone in their family die.

 

We used your discs to tell the story of the death - and then

 

decorated a container for the story - - I hope the pics are 

 

explanatory -"

Needless to say this has brought tears to our hearts. We just wanted to share with you the good that some people are doing for children that suffer loss in this world. 

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Baby Thank You Cards

Happy Friday everyone! I made a set of baby "thank you" cards for an upcoming baby shower.  Mothers always need a "thank you" to thank people for all the gifts for the baby.

The design and layout are the same for both cards. Only the card base is in different colours. Aren't the little baby bear cute? I love it! I used SU markers to colour the bears.

Family Camping Journals

Happy Canada Day!

Hello, stampers! I just got back from my family annual camping trip. We do this every year with my side of the family. We went to Cultus Lake this year. There were 27 of us and that was not all that was present. Jarod and a few others didn't come this year. We had to book 4 sites still and the sites at this camp ground were smaller than the other sites we've been too. We had a good time even though the sites were small. The kids went to a waterslide park but I didn't get to go. I was not a happy camper then but today I realized I probably wont enjoy it anyway. I'm afraid of heights and I saw a few slides that you have to climb up to the top before you slide down and they were pretty high. I'm glad I didn't get to go. God knows me better than I know myself. He was taking care of me.

Faith loves to write about her trips and every year she asks me to make one for her. This year she gave me at least a week notice. Other years she would ask me to make it the day before.

This year I only made 2. One for Faith and one for Hope. Here is the inside of the journal. I stamped every pages. I used the Under the Stars and Backwoods stamp sets. There is this new The Great Outdoors stamp set in the catalogue that I want to get from Stampin'Up! It has everything in this set that is perfect for the camping journals.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Canada Day!

Graduation Caps For The Graduates

This year there was a lot of high school graduates from my church. There were 12 of them. I made the cards using the Great Grads stamp set (retired). I made the cards first so they were in black and white.

I made the caps after the cards and didn't have enough black card stock so I made 3 caps in black for the boys and the 9 red caps for the girls. The reds caps didn't match the cards but it still look nice. 

ETA: You can get the grad hat tutorial here.

Aren't these grad caps the cutest ever?

The grad caps are little treat boxes and were filled with yummy treats. The boxes were made using the Petal Cone Die which I love so much and use it a lot but now it is retired from Stampin'Up!

Those are buttons at the top of the cap to hold the tassels down.

 

The card and cap was put together in a cello bag and tied it with ribbons to pretty up the packaging.
