SAB and Mixed Bunch!

HEY! TGIF!

I hope today sees your week winding down so you will have a quiet, relaxing weekend! Again, this has been a "crazy" week for me .... so I am glad to see Friday roll around!
Here is a card we made at our Kreations Klub a week ago ... the DSP, ribbon, brad, and stamp set are all SAB items! The ribbon and brads come together in a package with a second roll of ribbon in the Lucky Limeade color - so some of the girls made their bow using the 2 colors of ribbon and it was really pretty!

I have a second card for you today .... I made this a while back - as you know I LOVVVEEE this set - Mixed Bunch. I don't know what there is about it but it certainly has an attraction for me! I stamped one of the flowers on black CS - using versamark ink - and then embossed it with white embossing powder. Isn't it gorgeous?

 Here is the simple card I made with this flower ....

Thanks for peeking in today! I hope you enjoyed your visit! Have a wonderful weekend!

Rock and Roll Butterfly

Hey stampers!
Where did a week go???? I prepped for Card Klub last week and held that on Saturday ... and haven't been back to the Craft Room until today! Phew! I hope things get a little slower for a while!
Today I have an Easter Card for you .... one we made at Klub (I used a retired Easter set for this one) and Mixed Bunch from the current Mini. The flower is stamped in Daffodil Delight and the the edges are "rock and rolled" in Island Indigo - then a couple petals are cut away to form a beautiful butterfly! Isn't she pretty?

I hope you enjoyed your peek today! Thanks for stopping by! I will try to get back in the next day or so with another card!
HUGS and Blessings!

Tangerine Tango and Old Olive!

Good Morning!
I am NOT an "orange" person... can't wear the color but have acquired a taste for some shades of it over the past couple years; and one of those "shades" is Tangerine Tango! I just love this color! So, as you may have already guessed, my card today uses Tangerine Tango with some Old Olive ...my absolute fav color. I heat embossed one of the blossoms from Mixed Bunch with TT and created this card around it. Used the Hello Doily stamp for the background and OO satin ribbon...

Here is the inside of this card....

Hope you enjoyed your peek here today!
Have a good one!
May you be blessed beyond measure!
HUGS!

R U tired of the Blossom yet?

Hey everyone!
Joy to you this morning!
Are you tired of seeing cards made with this new Mixed Bunch set and Blossom punch? I sure hope not cuz I have at least 2 more for you! LOL! Maybe I'll save one for a while - I have been working on some "other stuff" too...

Here is a thank you card ..... I'm just lovin' all the layers! :)
The brad in the center of the blossom is from a Sale-a-Bration item.... ribbon and brads! You're going to love SAB this year!

 This is the inside of the card.....

Hopefully tomorrow I will have a post using another new set from the Mini! Stay tuned. Thanks so much for visiting!
HUGS!

Butterfly Thank You

Hi there!
Did you enjoy the "spring" day we had today? Goodness - I even had the window open in my craft room! I was a busy gal today! Such fun!!! :)

Here is a card I made today using the Mixed Bunch set ... another butterfly with one of the blossoms and an antique brad. I saw this done by Mary Fish at Stampin` Pretty... I embossed the blossom with Tangerine Tango embossing powder, then cut it to form the butterfly... used my bone folder to give a slight curl to the `wings`.

 Here is the inside...

I`m not too crazy with the color of these photos - (Tangerine Tango and Old Olive). I took my pictures in a different spot today ... ummmm. Guess I need to go back to the other spot...
See you next week!

Is it too early for a "LOVE" card????

I hope it isn't too early - cuz - that's what I have today! A LOVE card using the Mixed Bunch again! Gotta say ... this is a great set! :)

Here is the card.... pretty basic; the sentiment is from the "I (Love) Love" wheel; the leaves are punched out with the large oval punch then shaped with scissors, scored, and inked.

A close-up of the flower from the stamp set and using the Blossom punch; as well as the triple doily punch...

I took two pieces of Organza ribbon - one a little shorter than the other - and held them together with an anitque brad; adhered to card with a glue dot.

 A close-up of the inside... using the flower stamp to make the border and then sponged with Old Olive ink.

Thanks for peeking in today!!!!

Mixed Bunch Butterfly

Hey!
Have you recovered from all the Christmas activity? We had busy days here and then we travelled a couple of days to visit with family... took me til today to feel rested again. I have a card to show you today that is a sneak peek at a stamp set from the Occasions Mini that comes out as of January 4, 2012... and some DSP and ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration event which starts January 24th...

I used Poppy Parade as the main CS - love this color!

The butterfly is made by cutting one of the flowers in the stamp set into a butterfly shape... there is a card done similar to this in the Mini... I had to try it and quite like the result! I cut a shape from DSP to put behind the stamped image - and I curled the wings of the stamed image.

 Here is the card ... Going to use this as a birthday card ... the sentiment comes from the set "Friendly Phrases" found in the '11-'12 IB&C

This is the inside - where I will write a personal note.

Thanks for visiting with me thru 2011 ...

Stay safe this New Year's Eve -

I'll see you in the New Year!

Blessings and HUGS!
