Moving Forward- Blimpie Card

Hello,

Here is another card using the Moving Forward stamp set.  This is my current FAVORITE set.  I love the design and that it supports a good cause.  As I mentioned yesterday, this is the Ronald McDonald stamp set for the year.  Stampin' Up! donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald McDonald House for each stamp set purchased. 

For the "clouds", I cased this idea, but can't remember from who.  To make the clouds I used a circle punch and punched a few circles in a T shape.  I'll try to follow up with instructions on a later post if I have anyone that is interested.

Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Moving Forward, Itty Bitty Banners


Ink: Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Island Indigo

Paper: Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Island Indigo, Whisper White

Accessories: Chevron Embossing folder, 1 3/8 circle punch, mini silver brads

Happy Stampin'

Gift Card Holder

Hello!

Some people think gift cards are great, others think it is a lazy way to give a gift.  Personally, I LOVE to give and receive all gift cards!  But for those that think I didn't put much thought into it, I like to make a pretty holder to put it in.  That way, at least the card was thoughtful, right?!

Here is a gift card holder we made at my August events.  It is a little smaller than a regular card size (3 3/4 x 5 1/4).  I like this smaller size better for this.  It's easy to make, too.  You simple make a card and cut out a fun shape to use as the flap.  I used Stampin' Up!s Label framelits.  I also dressed it up with lots of embossing.  I think the ruffled flower also adds a little extra texture to it.  Ruffled flower instructions coming soom.

Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Delightful Dozen

Ink: Pool Party, Early Expresso, Lucky Limeade

Paper: Twitterpated DSP, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Framelits-Labels, 2011-2012 In Color Brad, 1 ¼ scallop circle punch, chevron embossing folder, perfect polka dots embossing folder

Have a great day!

Dahlia Earrings

Hello!

One of the fun ideas I learned at Convention was using the cute little Dahlias to make EARRINGS!  I thought...how clever!  I put it on my mental project list and kind of forgot about it....UNTIL, my neice came over and had on homemade earrings that were very cute.  I remembered the Dahlia earrings and went to the local craft store to get some earring backs and metal glue.  The earring backs were only $1.11 for 12!  So this is going to be one of my club projects for tomorrow.  (see club note below)...

So all I did was put a dab of glue on the earring back, put on the Dahlia and let it dry!! It was so easy.  Of course, I had to make a cute box to put them in using the Big Shot and Matchbox die.  I also made a "scrunched" flower to add on top.  More details on the flower on a different post....

Have a great night!
