Love is Brewing, Valentine

     I am in the crafting mood today... I got my group projects done and now on to some Valentine's Day cards! Some of the girls where I work would like to see some Valentine's Day cards so I wanted to do some new ones... I haven't done new ones in a couple years so what better time 😉 I love some of the new things in the 2018 Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

       As I usually do, I comb through Pinterest and see all the wonderful things people create and I pick one that really catches my eye and case it. I try to put my own little spin on the card I find to make it a little more my own 😊
      This card is no exception! I found the original card on Pinterest and loved it... I had to case it!  The original was done by My Stamp Lady and I can see I like her style!  I looked through her blog and really like what she has created with all the new products in the 2018 mini catalogs. I hope you go from my blog to hers and see her card as I like to link to where I get my inspiration from.
      I find it tough to create on my own sometimes and Pinterest is a huge help with everyone Pinning there creations! Thanks!!


     I was kind of sad when I got the email that they were discontinuing the new Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon cause it looks so cool! I had seen a few projects from OnStage using it so was pretty excited... but as you can see... Someone (I wish I could remember who) came up with a new way to do it, and its so simple! Cut a piece 1" by what every you need and score in the middle, use your bone folder to break down the fibers till you can peal it apart. Fold on the score lines then, I glued it back together with the inside on the outside. Fold it in half and use your fringe scissors to cut. Just be careful not to cut too high and cut through.
     I wanted to add a photo of the inside of the card... nothing fancy but I love doing the Rock' n Roll technique! With the help of the Sure Do Love You Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalog and the January 2018 Paper Pumpkin stamp set, I did this for the inside of this card.
     Most of the time for the inside greeting in the cards I just cut regular printer paper to the proper size. Easier on the CS supply doing it this way. Plus when you mess up, its not as big of a deal 😅

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

June's Door Prize

I am really excited for this months Card Club because it will be the first time doing it at my house. I cleaned up an end of my basement and we are going to do it there. It will be so much easier doing it at home, I tend to forget things and even thought it was only next door. It was a royal pain in the you know what to go get what I forgot.  I hope it isn't to crowed down there but I guess we will see! ANYWAYS I don't have the cards yet but I have the Door Prize all done! Wallet Style Smash Book I had found a video on Youtube on how this amazing project was done!  I like to have printable instructions so I used the measurements she had for the main wallet and I added the measurements I used for the tags in the wallet and used my pictures. I will add my instructions and hopefully you can print them for yourselves.
