Sports



This is the Card I made to thank our Soccer coaches this summer. The YOU is a pocket for a gift card.

I had all the kids sign the card and they were a big hit.

I will be doing a "sports card and Page class" using the All in the Family Stamps from StampinUP!

Paper Making



So I today I played with my Stampin UP! Craft Inks and my Doodle This Stamp set also Stampin UP!

This is going to be a class ...

12 x 12 Designer Paper making....





















I really like the one with the lighter inked flowers but everyone has a different flair all their own and I wanted to show a wee bit of variety.

Now I'm going to make another one the same and scrapbook it but that will have to wait until I get back from our camping trip next week.

To make this paper I used:
  • Whisper White paper - Stampin UP!
  • Doodle this stamp set - Stampin UP!
  • Happy Everything stamp set - Stampin UP!
  • Ballet Blue Craft Ink - Stampin UP!
  • Bashful Blue Craft Ink - Stampin UP!
  • Certainly Celery Craft Ink - Stampin UP!
  • Mellow Moss Craft Ink - Stampin UP!
  • Handsome Hunter Stampin write - Stampin UP!
  • Clear Embossing Powder - Stampin UP!
  • Heat Gun
  • Stampin Sponges

My First Attempt


So this is my first attempt at card making. I was a little desperate for a card yesterday as it was my 16th wedding anniversary and my kids were acting like the monkey's in the zoo and I didn't feel like card shopping with them in tow. So I saw this template on SplitCoaststampers.com and thought I would give it a try.

Not too bad for a first try I think.

I usually don't make cards. I usually take a class when my card stock is running low, but I'm thinking I am going to start teaching some classes... scrap and Stamp classes....
Kids scrap booking classes... Maybe Card classes

We shall see what happens..... I will keep you posted!

For this card I used:

  • Thankful Blossoms - Verve Stamps
  • Many Happy Returns - Stampin UP! Stamps
  • Real Red Craft Ink - Stampin UP!
  • Clear embossing Powder - Stampin UP!
  • Pewter Brad - Stampin UP!
  • Random card stock I had in my humongous stock pile
