Card & Envelope Portfolio with Mini Messages Retired SAB set

Ok, here's the card and envelope portfolio that used the retired Mini Messages SAB set. When I originally made these the products were not retired. Tomorrow I'll show you a prtfolio made with current SAB items!

More Card & Envelope Portfolios

This was the original card & envelope portfolio I received and duplicated for my hostesses when I was first a demonstrator. All the supplies are now retired. It had a lot of layers, so later I created a simpler 2-step stamped one that I'll show you tomorrow

March Club Projects

Our first club project this month was a little purse made out of a 6"x6" piece of dsp. It closes with a little velcro dot and is perfect for holding a gift card, lip balm, cash, or whatever! This photo shows the front side of one and the back side of another. Frenchie has a good video that shows how they're made.


Here is the purse open.
Supplies:
sets- so happy for you
cs - night of navy dsp and cs, whisper white
ink- night of navy
access- velcro dot, sticky strip, itty bitty punch pack, large & scallop oval punches



Our second project was a card and envelope portfolio complete with four cards. I learned how to make these from my upline years ago (I'm pretty sure Michelle created the pattern for them). I gave them to my hostesses my first year I was a demonstrator. I'll show other samples over the next few days.






Supplies:
sets- a flower for all seasons (FREE as a SAB item!)
cs- whisper white, certainly celery, daffodil delight, perfect plum, real red
ink- basic black pad
access- watercolor pencils, blender pens, celery grosgrain ribbon, sticky strip, big shot & embossing folders - elegant bouquet, petals-a-plenty, perfect polka dots, framed tulips

Happy Stamping! Mary

Cards for a Friend with Cancer

A good friend had breast cancer a number of years ago. She was cancer free for 5 years and then it came back. She has battled the recurring tumors a number of times and is undergoing chemo again. What a brave women. I pray daily for her healing. Another friend suggested that we make her some thank you cards for her to give when people bring her meals. Well, I thought that was a great idea. We got together last week for a couple hours and made these simple cards. They were inspired by cards in SU's IB&C. I brought them to her tonight with a meal. I hope she likes them. She does beautiful stamping herself, but hasn't been up to it too much recently.

Prayers for you, Kathy! Mary

Happy Birthday Jan!

More of Cheryl's Cards

Here are a few more cards my friend Cheryl made. I just love this first one. Maybe we'll do something like it in an upcoming class. What do you think?

This is similar to a card we made at Tami's. My camera wasn't working, so I didn't get to take photos.


This is another card that's similar to one we made at Tami's. We sanded the dp to get a cool effect. I ordered some antique brads today and can't wait until they arrive.

Happy Stamping! Mary

Kevin's First Communion

A couple weeks ago I attended my friend Cheryl's son's First Holy Communion. Kevin looked so nice all dressed up.

Her older son, Brian is the same age as my younger son, Raymond.

While I was at Cheryl's I took some photos of cards she'd made. I'll post a few more in a couple days.





Happy Stamping! Mary
