Lace Ribbon Border Punch

Well Thanksgiving and Black Friday are over and all is well. I didn't go out for early shopping however, I did go shopping on Saturday at City Lights Christmas store and oh my goodness! That shop is almost as good as Bronners in Michigan. Not quite as large but what a variety of decorations. You could even have a Mermaid tree if you like that sort of decor. I was amazed and pleasantly pleased with my purchases from there. I just love Christmas!! It is my favorite holiday and I could stay decorated all year round if someone would let me.

I am getting ready for my open house this Saturday. I have invited my regular card class attenders to a special fun time just to thank them for their continued support. I have come to love each one of them in a special way and count them all as friends not just customers. Stampin' Up has a way of doing that for you. I am so happy to be a part of such a great company.

This is the 2nd card we did in November. I was playing with the punch one day and punched a piece of designer paper like what's pictured here and thought Wow! that would look awesome on a card. So here it is.

Card Recipe:

Stamp set: Well Scripted (retired)

Card stock: Pink Pirouette 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and a scrap for the Scallop Oval punch, Concord Crush 4 x 5 1/4, Flirtatious DSP 3 x 3 3/4 punched once in the center with the Scallop Lace Ribbon Border Punch, Wisteria Wonder for the Decorative Label punch

Ink: Concord Crush

Accessories: punches, Whisper White taffeta ribbon and Dimensionals

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

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Hi all, it is just a beautiful day today. Sunny, warm and so very pleasant. I really would like to be outside walking somewhere, but had a lot of creating to do.

I finished some candle covers and got all the info ready so her customers could order whatever they wish. This could really keep me busy. I have orders for purses and I want to make some other bags with the Big Shot also, so I see some busy days ahead. It is so much fun though, so I really don't mind at all.

Now to the card. I made another birthday card as I am joining a birthday card event and must get a few ready to send out.

I cased this card also from Tammie Akerson, her blog site is listed in my last post. I changed it by adding ribbon.

Stamp set is Well Scripted, Ink and card stock is Bermuda Bay, Whisper white run through the Polka Dot Impressions Folder and the Butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit . Ribbon is Bermuda Bay Polka Dot. I sponged the edges of everything with Bermuda Bay ink.

Inside sentiment is from the Very Versatile stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed todays post and that it inspires you to create something of your own.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed day!

HAPPY TUESDAY

I promised some cards and I am finally producing them. I have been so busy with hubby and family that my creative time has been limited.

I have seen so many cards done with this bird, that I decided I had to do one or two. I received the inspiration for these from one on Tammie Ackerson's blog at tammieackerson.typepad.com. I changed it a little. This one is more for a female birthday.

Card recipe:

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red dsp

Stamp Set: Well Scripted

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Embellishments: 2 step bird punch, scallop border trim punch, 5/8 inch organza ribbon



For the one for men or boys



Card Recipe:

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Sage Shadow, To the Nines dsp

Stamp Set: Picture This

Ink: Sage Shadow

Embellishments: 2 step bird punch, scallop border punch, scallop oval punch,

1/4 inch chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon

I just love the bird punch. It makes such a neat image for any kind of card, especially in the spring when the birds first return.

I have been asked to design some label covers for some candles, so I will have a busy day creating those. It should be a lot of fun and I am filled with ideas of flowers, birds and butterflies.

Hope you have a great day and that I have helped to inspire your creativity.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed day!
