Where does the time go?

I have a few cards that I have done over the past few days that once I finish one card, I start working on something else. Time gets away from me some days and by the time I sit down to show case them, I have moved on to something else that I need to do. Here are a few cards that I have worked on.

Coffee Cup using the Envelope Punch Board

Good Morning! Here is a great idea using the Envelope Punch Board. This tutorial can be found under the "tutorial" link. Or you can click HERE. This was made for my wonderful Supervisor, just for fun.

After making the first one, I just kept going. I made an early Christmas Coffee Cup just so I could see what it would look like. The color used here is Cherry Cobbler.

Gorgeous grunge w/ Perfect blend

Two stamp sets that have seen a lot of use since I purchased them awhile ago. I love this look. I also did this in Christmas colors which was a perfect card to hold a Starbucks gift card.

A collection of beautiful Cards!

 Hello fellow creative friends!..Things have just been crazy for the past few months and it has definitely limited my time on line to even do the slightest of posting on projects that have been done. Its crazy how fast life can go by when you don't take moments out to breathe! I'm sure many of us know how crazy life can get between work, being a mom, a wife, a taxi and new adventures you "think" you have time for. That's me!. Every day is a new adventure for me and the boys.

I've returned back to school part time, as well changed my job and am still keeping up with being a Demonstrator and Hair stylist. Too much? No way! Lets add in that my son is also a Senior in HS this year. Which adds so much more to the table! Vacation? Yes one of those are planned in there as well.
I've done numerous cards, birthday, get well, teacher appreciation, just because and I've finally found a few moments to get them posted for you.

This first one was a Birthday card for a wonderful CoWorker, I will admit this one took some time. I wanted it to be just perfect and Perfect is what it turned out to be!

 

The next one was my wonderful Husband's birthday card. Yes he turned THE BIG 40!. It was a wonderful day and he absolutely loved this card. He is my music man and the DSP fit perfect for the card.

 

 

 

 

 

Teacher Appreciation: Sometimes you meet people that absolutely amaze you in their ability not only to teach but to have compassion in what they do every day. Chris definitely deserved to be recognized!

 

 

 

 

 

This was a Mother's day card done for my BF's MIL, I took this idea from a previous card I had made. Cute colors!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

My final card, a quick card done because I was still in the going mode of crafting. This one still sits in my craft room. I love the DSP and Colors on this card. I could craft all day using these colors.

 

 

 

Don't forget STAMPIN UP! has released their new Annual Catalog!. Its a wonderful catalog with great products!. I'm getting ready to place my first order from it. If you are wanting a catalog or supplies you can shop with me 24/7!

 

Sweet Sorbet Tri Fold Card

 

Sweet Sorbet Tri Fold card using 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock instead of 12 x 12.

I found numerous tutorials on 12 x 12 cardstock but couldn't locate dimensions for a Tri fold card using 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.

I finally figured it out a few hours later and the results are in.

It turned out beautiful.

The tutorial for the 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock Tri fold card are down below.

For you in gorgeous grunge

 Gorgeous Grunge has become one of my favorite sets as you can see in the next more neutral card. I used Crumb cake and Basic Black, another find from Pinterest.

Fancy fold pop out card

Happy Friday!

I found this Paper fold in a tutorial and really liked it..and when I like the look I just have to try it out!.

This was very easy!..I am a little stuck on the outside of the card, but the inside of it was a breeze!. I think I'll use other colors next time..I just happened to have some Black polka dot DSP laying around so I used it up!.

If you want the tutorial you can click here and try it out yourself!

Friends

Here's the card using the Accordian style Flower. I like the colors that were used all together.

However, the flowers ARE accordian, so they wouldnt be able to fit in a standard envelope. Purchase the Padded envelopes from Stampin up they will fit in there better. You can do that Here and you can also put in your order for the last days of Sale A Bration!.
