Birthday Card

January 29, 2012 by msurette

This week I’ll be posting just about every day.  I saved up a bunch of cards to show my customers at my Open House yesterday. I wanted them to see new stuff, so now I can post them!

This card below is the card we will be doing Friday night in class. There is still room so go to the Workshops page and sign up!  We will be making 3 of these and there is a Valentine’s verse that goes with it so if you don’t have a Valentine’s card for that special person, you can come and make one!

Card Components:

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Pink P. ( I can’t spell pirouette), Early Espresso

Stampset: Sweetcake

OPEN HOUSE LEFT OVERS!

I have some Valentine’s Day items that didn’t sell from the Open House. Here are pictures of them. Contact me if you are interested:

These are $2.75 plus shipping

These are smaller than they look, they have 2 Hershey’s Kisses in them, $.50 each

I have some of these cards left, $3.25 each.

Monster Valentine

January 23, 2012 by msurette

I’m back on the Valentine’s Day kick!!!  I just couldn’t resist this one. I was inspired by this card on It’s A Stamp Thing. So cute!

I used DSP Play Date & DSP Pretty In Pink. Make A Monster and a verse from an old Valentine’s set that I can’t think of now. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday

January 22, 2012 by msurette

Pinterest is my new big thing lately.  It’s so easy to just pin card samples from the net that I love. I saw this card by Heidi Boss that   was pinned by Nancy Riley (which I follow her blog as well) and thought it was such a great quick and easy generic card. Check out Pinterest, you’ll love it too!

Thinking About Easter Already!

January 21, 2012 by msurette

I know it’s early, but I’m doing a craft show in March and I’m thinking about a cute little Easter treat I can have at the fair. These are super easy little candy holders. They are made out of 3 x 3 envelopes! Use your oval punches, a few circle punches and a puffy nose and you are good to go!

Great Card for Teenager

January 19, 2012 by msurette

Had to back off the Valentine’s cards for a bit. I start to get a little loopy if I keep doing the same stuff all the time!

For this card, I was inspired by Stampin’ Anne’s design here. I added some glitter on the back ground, but it still can be used for a boy teen as well.  I have a few family members who play guitar so this card won’t be around my stash too long! As you can see, they are slightly different from each other as well. The stamp sets I used were Grunge Rock and Extreme Elements. The card stock is Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight, DSP is Big Top Birthday.

Open House Postponed

January 19, 2012 by msurette

Due to the impending snow storm set for my area on Saturday – predicting 6 inches of snow – I’m postponing my Open House until next Saturday, January 28th from 1:00 – 4:00.

Bordering on Romance

January 15, 2012 by msurette

This is a very simple card. Very easy to do. The set is Bordering on Romance from the new Occasions Mini.  I used two of the other accessories from the mini as well to do the border, but I don’t have the mini with me and downloading the catalog will take too long on this connection.  I did cut out the flowers and pop them up to give it a great affect.

Hello from Disney!

January 12, 2012 by msurette

We got to Disney relatively easily yesterday. The weather is PERFECT!   We are here celebrating my 2nd 25th birthday! LOL!

I did download a few pic’s to post while I’m away so here’s another goodie that’s going to be for sale at my Open House next week. They are cute little pillow boxes filled with chocolate. I got the clear boxes from a box vendor. The paper is SU’s DSP Love Impressions. You can still purchase from Stampin’ Up!’s clearance rack. It’s the only Valentine’s paper that’s available right now so if you need to do some Valentine’s crafts, better go get some. I used the PS I love you stamp set from the Occasions Mini and the punch is our Triple Hear Punch.

Valentine’s Day Pig

January 10, 2012 by msurette

One of my team members is starting a new blog – as soon as she has it up, I’ll add it to my blog roll – but she made a comment that she doesn’t have a lot of original designs. I said “most of my designs are CASED to a certain point”.  I told her, IT’S OK TO COPY SOMEONE, or better, be “inspired” by other peoples’ work.  It’s the best form of flattery!!!  Just as long as you give credit where credit is due.

Ok, to MY next CASE – sound like I’m a lawyer, LOL!  I saw this card by Mafer’s blog and immediately thought of the pig from Button Buddies. Simple to make and so cute. I didn’t put the button on the nose because it really didn’t add anything to it. The verse is from the new set, PS. I Love you.  Enjoy!
