New Catalog Open House/Drool Party

CAS IC Card

This is the card we made yesterday at my "Drool Party". I was inspired by a card I saw somewhere on the internet.  I wanted an easy make-n-take so we could focus on putting up our feet, relaxing and "drooling" over the new catty.

SUPPLIES:
sets - thoughts and prayers
cs - whisper white, blackberry bliss, tangelo twist, hello honey, lost lagoon, mossy meadow
ink - basic black
access - pearls, 16" mossy meadow ribbon, petite petals punch, glue dots

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Prize Time

Our Gift

Our Gift, Open

not my favorite, but like the set we used

New Blendabilities

We'll be Friends Forever BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW TOO MUCH

At Prize Time, a fun event for our Inkerbelle's group, we got the cutest box of chocolates.  We also made several cards.  The last one is my favorite ~ LOVE that saying!  It's on blue lagoon cs; one of the new in colors.  I need more practice with the new "blendabilities" markers.

We had a great lunch that Tami brought in for us, then an interesting business meeting where we shared ideas.

Lastly, Tami gave us a bunch of new product and challenged us to create four cards with it.  I don't have a photo of them, but everyone created something unique and great.  I may "need" to have a class based on them.

I've already earned my invitation for next quarter!  Yeah!

Happy Stamping!  Mary

More Cheryl Cards

Cheryl gave me a couple cards last month that I'll share with you.  I'm sure you've seen the type of card the second one is.  It uses the scalloped tag topper punch.  I helped her prep this card for one of her classes.  I just love it and am so glad she gave me one!  Miriam Bollinger has a good video tutorial on how to make this type of card.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Thank You Shelagh!

Thank You card from Shelagh

Thank You card from Shelagh, up close

I love this card my friend gave me last month.  It uses one of my favorite sets ~ Flower Shop.  The colors are marina mist, so saffron and wild wasabi.  I like how she added texture with the Simply scored tool.  She copied it from a card she saw on pintrest.  Isn't it great?

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Wreath

I'm so excited to hang this floral wreath on my front door!  I made it in a class last week with a few other demonstrators at Olive's house.   It took about 3 hours and was great to go home with a finished project.  WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN MAKING A WREATH LIKE THIS????

It has 3 different types of flowers that could also be used on cards or 3-d items.  It was fun using the fringe scissors to make the fringed flower.  The burlap ribbon that we wrapped around the frame is really nice.

Happy Stamping and Crafting!  Mary

Happy Mother's Day!

Mona's Card, front

 I love how this card turned out.  I needed a gift card holder type card, and I thought this would be perfect.  We made these for my May club (I'll post those tomorrow as well as a link to my source of inspiration).  I used cs and colors to coordinate with a 3x3" box of cards that I also gave Mona (the box I gave her used the same dsp).
