My Dad's Birthday

My dad's birthday was a couple of weeks ago.  We went to dinner with my folks at a favorite restaurant.  This is the card we gave him along with a gift card to a bookstore. 

The Designer Series Paper is beautiful and the collage, vintage look is one of my favorites.  And how do you like the watch?  I love how that turned out.

Have a great day!

Bokeh Effect

The challenge over on SCS today is Bokeh Effect.  I used some of the new 2013-2015 In-Colors and love how it turned out.  Bokeh is a photography technique that is a blur or an out of focus area of the image. For a stamper this is an easy thing to accomplish.  Take an image and stamp off.  Just use 3-5 colors and you get a beautiful effect.  Bokeh!  Ha.  Anyway, here is my card.


The new colors used here are Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe.  They are just lovely.  I used Shimmery White Card Stock, although it is hard to tell in this photo.  Click on the image and you will see a closer view.  
Recipe:
Stamps:  Summer Silhouettes
Ink:  Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Pad
Card Stock:  Shimmery White, Coastal Cabana
Accessories:  Sponge, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Gift Class

 My Gift Class was yesterday.  This all came about because my friend Jayne Stenstrom gave me a post it note holder and pen.  One of my customer friends saw it and wanted to have a class to make it.  So I added a bookmark, gift card holder and a card.

 Attendees could choose to punch their scallop circles whatever order they wanted.
 They could choose a different sentiment on the card if they desired.
 Attendees could also choose the Natural Ribbon, or the Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon for the Gift Card Holder.

 This is a somewhat open view.  Using the 2 Tags Die.  Perfect for a gift card.

 And here is what I came up with for the Post it Note and Pen Holder.  Again, attendees could choose their own ribbon.


Recipe:
Stamps:  Stippled Blossoms, Blessings from Heaven, A Round Array
Ink:  Rose Red, Old Olive
Card Stock:  Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon, Natural Ribbon, Mini gel pens, Designer Series Paper, 2 Tags Die, Big Shot, Paper Snips, Simply Scored, Giant Paper Clip, Pinwheel Sizzlit, Scallop Circle Punch

Have a great day!

Whitewash and Gate Fold

For this month's club we made a Whitewash Card and a Gate Fold Card.  My friend Emma Fewkes did this very cool technique that I am calling whitewash.    So cool.  Did I say cool already?  Ha!

 Here is a side view.  Another friend, Robin Spinner, is brilliant.  Cut out two of the scalloped ovals.  Score one of them a 1/2 inch from the top.  Attach it to the front oval with sticky strip.  Genius.  A full scallop oval without a fold in it.  LOVE that.  Robin taught me that with the scallop square.  Yay!
 This is the Gate Fold Card that we made.  I love blue and red together.  So cheerful.


Recipe Whitewash Card:
Stamps:  Secret Garden, Ciao Baby
Ink:  Craft White, Riding Hood Red, Garden Green, Versamark
Card Stock:  Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, Petite Curly Label Punch, Oval Framelits
Recipe Gate Fold Card:
Stamps:  Quint Essential Flower, A Round Array
Ink:  Bashful Blue, Real Red
Card Stock:  Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper 
Accessories:  Button, Scallop Circle Punches, Circle Punch


Have a great day!

Color Refresh and Free Shipping!

Two big announcements all in one day!

There will be FREE shipping on all orders placed on April 6th - 8th.

Color Refresh.  Here is the line-up.
I am excited about all of it.  Well, maybe not about Baja Breeze retiring.  I love that color.  If you love it too, or any other retiring color, keep this in mind:  all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period.  You can order here   

Contact me with any questions.
