Christmas Time is Here!

The Thanksgiving holiday gave me a
chance to work with the new Christmas
Design Paper in this year's Holiday Mini
and I love it!

Sweet Treats

My first creation using Stampin' Up!'s new
Sweet Treat Cups. These are really fun and make
a fun, unique card.



The butterfly on this card is fabric that was die cut.
Love this technique.



I used Crystal Effects on the bug to make him
three dimensional. This stamp is part of a cute
level 1 hostess set.

New Fall Cards!!

Finally, here are a few cards inspired by my favorite season. Each card features a different color from SU's In Color family. Enjoy.
(I love playing with my new Top Note die from SU!)






I'm so happy this worked; it's real birch bark!

A few new cards for the season

Thank you fellow demonstrator
Beverlee Morales for this great idea!!

A mix of occasions including Mother's & Father's Day

For Father's Day I created two cards

card 1


card 2


This is my Mother's Day card. It only takes a few minutes to put together. (the butterfly is a die cut made by the Big Shot die cutting tool)



The template for this too cute birthday card was featured in the demonstrator magazine from Stampin' Up!. Pretty cool huh! All it is, is a brad in the middle of the left side.





Don't forget, if you'd like to order these cards from me just send me an email or comment on this post. Happy crafting!

Birthday Cards

Here are my latest birthday card designs.

Nature is the theme of these cards. I am ready for spring and Stampin' Up!'s new Spring/Summer '09 Idea Book and Catalog has been very inspirational.








I love this stamp set. All I had to do to create
this card was stamp directly on the paper with
each stamp, no other techniques involved.
How simple is that!!

Valentines Day / Friendship Cards

A few days ago I had a chance to play around with some new valentine color combinations and some new-to-me tools. Here's what I came up with:
