Scallop Envelope Die

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything and I haven't taken pictures of March's card class yet so here is one of the projects we did in the February Club.

It is amazing what you can do with the Big Shot and dies.This is the cutest Easter basket box made from the Scallop Envelope Die. We had so much fun making this and everyone just loved it. We also did a butterfly card to go with it.

Our technique for the month was the Polished Stone technique. We used the stamp set Lovely As A Tree and it came out so beautiful. I will try to get a picture of it on here tomorrow as I won't be posting for a week or so as my daughter comes to San Diego on Thursday and will be here for a week. I think I will be really busy.

Hope you enjoyed this project and will make one for your self or a friend.

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you around the 26th.

Hugs,

June

Lovely As A Tree

It is really chilly this morning, 44 degrees at 7:30 am. Good sweatshirt weather in my book. I am lovin' it but my hubby doesn't share my feelings. He is ready to turn on the furnace. I think I will purchase an electric fireplace for mornings like this. Besides I love the ambience of a fire, even a fake one.

Stamp Sets: Lovely as a Tree and Three Little Words

Cardstock: Soft Suede 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 3 1/4" square, Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4, 3"square, Spice Cake DSP 2 pieces 1 1/4 x 3 1/2, 2 pieces 1 1/4 x 4 1/4, a scrap of Very Vanilla

Thanks for stoppin' in  and I'll see you again soon.

Jolly Old Saint Nick

Hi everyone,

Sorry it took me so long to recover from the tour (lol). Guess I must be getting older or something.

I want to tell you how I did the blue top note on the Lovely As a Tree card for the Royal Blog Tour. I used the 1 3/4" circle punch. I punched on either side of the long side of the top note first. I put my punch as far in as it would go. I next punched the ends of the top note the same way. I then went back in on each corner and punched again. I made a nice wide opening for the stamp to fit in. I layed my top note on top of the Whisper White and then stamped the trees through the opening. It worked out great. Hope I see lots of cards out there done with this technique in the future.

Now for my current creation. My card class is coming up next Saturday the 20th and everyone wants to do the two tree cards I did for the blog. I decided we should do one more Christmas card along with them but a more traditional one and this is what I came up with.

Here is the recipe for this one:

Stamp set: Jolly Old Saint Nick

Cardstock: Real Red, Always Artichoke and Whisper White

Ink: Black Staz on and Always Artichoke

Accessories: Real Red and Bashful Blue Markers, Scallop Oval and Wide Oval punches. Modern Label and Decorative Label punches, silver brads, mini glue dots and Stampin' dimensionals.

It's an easy card to make but so cute. I remember going to see Santa in the park when I was young and he used to wink at me the way this one is. Sure brought back good memories of my childhood.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed night!

I want to say thank you to all who took the time to do the Royal Blog Tour and visited my blog.

My blog winner was Donna Thames from Florida! Thanks Donna for your comments and thanks to all the rest of my visitors for your wonderful comments as well. I wish you all could have been winners.

It was such a joy to be part of this marvelous tour and to see all the other entries on different tour paths. We have so many talented people in this business. I am awed at the fact I could be a part of all this.

I want to Welcome all my new subscribers and I will be posting new ideas the end of the week.

Thanks again for stoppin in!

Have a blessed night!

Royal Blog Tour - Lovely As A Tree

Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour and to my castle.

This is my first time as A Royal Blog Tour Princess. Below you will find my first project that I created for the tour.
The stamp set I used for all three projects is 'Lovely As A Tree'. For this card I used Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla cardstock and Jolly Holiday DSP. I love this stamp set and hope it never retires. I think it is my all time favorite.



This card is my second project for the tour. I really love it done in blues. I always used to use Night of Navy and Brocade Blue together and the Brocade Blue was retired this past summer. I didn't think I would find another to go with it but Bashful Blue is not too bad. Of course my stamp set again is 'Lovely As A Tree'. I just love dazzling diamonds also.



My third and last project is a 'yummy' one. Nothing says I love you like Chocolate. This tin filled with Hersey's chocolate nuggets is about as good as good gets! That's what I think anyway. Hope you all feel the same as I am giving these projects away as blog candy on the tour.


If you would like to be eligible for my blog candy drawing you must, No 1 e-mail me at my e-mail address, which you will find toward the top of the right column here on my blog,with your full name, address and e-mail address, No 2 leave a comment on my Royal Blog post. Good luck to all of you.



Thanks for stoppin in! I hope you will check out all the entries on the tour and leave comments to the talented Queens and Princesses who are participating. I know there are many great projects for you to enjoy. You can start by clicking on one of the slippers below!

Happy touring!

Have a Blessed Day!
