Thoughts of you

As mentioned earlier I would be back with another card share. Though I was going to share another Leadership Swap, I had another card in my head and had to make it. It is using the Filled with Love Set, which today is the last day to get it.  Don't have this set yet click on the Promo Link and you'll be directed to that information. If not email/call me with your order and I'd be happy to place it for you. It's a great bundle.

You Warm My Heart

I really LOVE the new DSP Love Impressions from the Occassions mini catalog. Colors are just awesome!

 

Ok, I should go and fix dinner now. Until tomorrow thanks for stopping by and

Happy Stampin',

Happy Monday and Card Share!

I'm back! Crossing my fingers that all goes well with my son in school! So far so good. For those who are on my Newsletter, you have already read about it. But my son was home sick just about everyday except for Wednesdsay (i was feeling ill myself that day). Thursday he woke up sick yet again! Friday there was no school, but again he had a fever when he went to bed on Saturday night! UGH! Talk about frustrating, so we ended up taking him to the Dr.s yet again! BUT all is much better, just bad allergies and a bug that keeps coming and going.  Let's just say that yesterday I could tell by the afternoon that he was much better with his energy level up and Oh, the talking???? Caramba, he is much better! LOL!

Flamingo Love Card Well I wanted to share some of my swaps that I made for Leadership!  I have a Valentine's Day one and a little later will share a few  more. I know 2 posts in 1 day watch out.  I will be sharing LOTS of stuff this week!  Thanks for your patience and for those who emailed me about my son THANK YOU!!! I truly appreciate your concern more then you'll ever know.

I LOVE these New Sets! Which are in the new Occasions Mini! 

 

Stamp Sets: Valentine Defined!  #123057 (clear) & I also used XOXO #121973 (Clear)Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black & Real Red
Ink:  Real Red
Accessories: Black grosgrain ribbon, Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8 punch and 1 1/4 punch, The Big Shot, Polka Dot embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Dazzlilng Diamond Glitter

 Measurements are as follows:

Layers are Red 3 x 3, Black 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and the White piece I stamped the xoxo image on Whisper white and trimmed all around it. It comes out to be about 2 1/2 x 2 1/2

Just a few more Thanksgiving shares

Author: November 24, 2010 0 Comments

Good evening all!  What a day today!  I had to get a few things for tomorrow. Oh Boy, I didn’t think I was going to get out of the store alive! LOL!  Actual I think I went right before the craziness was going to begin. I had my son with me so I was glad it didn’t take to long!  Just grab what I needed and RAN! LOL! 

So before I curl up with my yarn and watch some T.V. with the boys I wanted to share these 2 cards that we made at my Fun Folds Class. 

Every month I have different types of folds, or something interactive! LOVE those kinds!  So we did 2 Wiper cards and 2 Z-Fold Cards.  I’m showing you the Thanksgiving Wiper Cards today and will share the other 2 on Friday.

 

Thanksgiving Wiper Card

This is it!  Now the inspirations for this card was one that I saw on Stampin Connection, from a Barbara Welch!

LOVED it as soon as I seen it! She had a really nice Brad in the of the 4 squares.

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                  When you pull the sides of the card your greeting pops up on top! It’s like a Wiper effect!

Super fun to make.

All Material used are Stampin’ Up!

Stamp set: Day of Gratitude
Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Autumn Spice DSP
Ink: Old Olive, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Early Espresso

Accessories: Old Olive 5/8 ribbon, Dimensionals.

 
Here is the next card we did!

I really like this style of card!

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Autumn Spice DSP

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive
Accessories:  Early Espresso satin Ribbon, Neutrals Brads, eyelet border punch, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamond Glitter

Here is it open! I really like how this turned out!  This was actually my 1st attempt at this style of card!
