Wedding Favor Candy Wrap Hats

Thursday night I had stampers here and Leah was very busy making some wedding party favors.  I helped her with them for a while.  They are really a LOT of work but SO worth it.  

I had made them several years ago.  You can see mine here and how to make them too.  

Leah made the tops of the brides had different than my instructions explain and personally I find hers easier to do.  She had taken a stack of the punched circles and wrapped the tulle around them and tied it off.  Then she added the bling.  When she had the other pieces all ready she just glued that tulle piece on top of the other circles that are covering the brad.  On mine I wrapped the tulle around the stack of circles and struggled with it staying in place.  Plus the way Leah did it you can fluff up the tulle without having it come off.  Such a great way to improve on this fun idea.

These are not difficult to make, they just take a lot of time and pieces.  You can use up a lot of your scrap card stock making these!

Thank you Leah for letting me show everyone your fun wedding favors.

I thank you all SO much for visiting today,

The Open Sea Masculine Birthday Card

This is a card that one of my stampers Tracy made.  She was just a card making machine Thursday evening!  I'm not sure what set the words came from but I know I have it!!! LOL

It's often difficult to find masculine birthday cards and when you find one that you like you go with it. This set is great for the guy cards.  This would also be great as a Father's Day card too!  

Tracy did a great job on the card and she had a great time making them.  Well, I assumed she did! She did seem like she was enjoying her self.  She's such a fun person too!  She's one of "those" people you meet and you know you want to be friends with her.  Don't tell her I said that, she might blush!  

That's it for me today, short and sweet!  I'm now off to the bead shop to play with beads and chat with the monthly beader's group of insane gals!!! You have to be insane to play with tiny glass beads and like it!!!  LOL  Personally I LOVE it and I have a few projects in the works that I'm hoping to finish tonight!  Plus this is the last night the group will be beading there.  The shop is closing at the end of the month.  I miss my job there and I miss teaching.  But I will be holding classes in my home and the group will be finding another place to terrorize!!! LOL

Thank you Tracy for letting me share your card with everyone!

And I thank you all SO much for visiting today,

A Just Believe Birthday

I was informed that the "Just Believe" set is retiring.  That is SO sad. I have loved playing with it.  But I'm sure it will be replaced by something even better (right?).  

This was a very easy and fun card to make.  I used the soon to retire, Riding Hood Red ink and paper. 

The words came from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.  A few punches later the card is all made! So simple, so quick and so pretty!  I actually made 3 of them all at the same time.  I love mass producing cards.  Ok, 3 cards is not mass producing but making more than one of the same in an assembly line form is mass producing to me!  LOL  Anyway, I had fun and that's the main thing.

Just Believe Birthday Card

I have had a lot of fun with the "Just Believe" stamp set and as I recall, it is NOT retiring.  And that means I can play with it a lot more!!!  It's such a fun set to play with.  

For my card I used a half sheet of Whisper White as my base.  Then on top of that was a piece of Crumb Cake, then Basic Black, followed by a More Mustard textured piece.  

The image was stamped on Whisper White using Crumb Cake ink.  

The flowers were punched out of More Mustard that was textured.  They were set in place using brads.  

The words were done on the computer and punched out with a 1-1/4" circle punch.  That was set on top of a 1-3/8" More Mustard circle and those were set in place on top of a Basic Black scalloped circle.  Both the focal panel and the words piece were set in place using Dimensionals.

This was a very simple card to make and even with all the layers, it didn't take that long to make.

Teeny Tiny Wishes

Teeny Tiny Wishes is one of my favorite word sets.  I have used it to death!  I like it because of the Word Window punch.  The two together are a perfect match.  And then add the Modern Label punch and you can't ask for much more!

The butterfly is punched out of Wisteria Wonder decorative paper.

There is not a whole lot to this card.  The base of this card is Whisper White. The next layer is Wisteria Wonder.  Then on top of that is Whisper White that was embossed with the Dotted folder.  

The word and butterfly pieces were set in place using Dimensionals.  And there you have it an elegant, simple, and clean looking card.  Oh and this is also a quick card to make too!

Mother's Day Card

I hope you all had a nice Mother's Day.  Mine was very nice.  I brought my mom lunch and visited a while.  Then I came home and started putting away some of the garage sale stuff (tables, chairs, etc.) and then went over to our son's place and went out for dinner.  It was a lot of eating out but it was nice not to have to cook!  One shouldn't have to cook on Mother's Day!  My younger sister had brought my mom breakfast, I brought her lunch and I am not sure what she did for dinner.  Hopefully my older sister brought her something.  

Here is a card I made for Mother's Day. This card was one I actually made myself.  I grew this flower and I took a photo of it (which actually turned out nice) and I had it printed at Walgreen's!  I trimmed it (that is why there is more green on the right side.  The photos come 4" x 6" and I cut them to 5-1/4" so I can balance out the 4" side.  Oh and the flower on this card is from last year.  There's no flowers blooming in this part of Minnesota right now.  It's been too cold.  There was even snow Saturday (with sleet) and yesterday there were a few flakes.  The temps weren't that low but the winds were strong and icy.  And get this, tomorrow it's suppose to be 90+ degrees F.  From one extreme to the other.  Welcome to Minnesota!!! LOL

I do love taking pictures and having them printed to make cards with them.  They have their own personal touch and a quality all their own.

Need For Speed

Today I thought I would use up some of the papers sitting in piles in my workroom.  I had run across some Stamp-a-Stack cards from Terri that I had not put together yet.  But I thought I would play with the pieces and see what I come up with.  Not so much to be different but because I don't remember what the original card looks like.  I had fun with it and because everything was cut it was an easy card to put together.  Hmmm, I may be cutting my scraps to fit images before I toss them in my scrap bin!

The image here is from the "Need for Speed" set.  It's a fun masculine set to play with.  The words are from my computer and I am not sure where the decorative paper came from.  It's pretty and I do like it.  I had gotten it in the pack of Stamp-a-Stack papers.  

It's a quick and simple masculine card to do!
