Cutest Cows-Project #1

 Cows, what a strange animal but yet they are necessary in our culture.  They give us milk, cheese, oh yes, my beloved cheese and of course steak, hamburger and all other kinds of interesting ingredients to which we all have become accustom. 

But what about these cows???  Cute Cows, Card Cows, the kind that don't smell bad or have to be tended to.  Just adorable little cows for our cardmaking adventures.

Cutest Cows Bundle is so stinkin' cute.  Why did I wait to buy this one? I do not know!!





Whether you're a fan or not, you have to admit they are adorable and look great on any card for just about any ocassion.


If you have fallen in love with these cute cows or any of the products I used in making this card, you can shop at my store by clicking here.

Four Squared Valentine Card Featuring Bee Mine DSP & Stylish Shapes Dies & Adoring Hearts Hybrid Dies & Embossing Folder

Who doesn't love Valentine's Day.  It is probably our first memory of exchanging cards with our school mates as early as kindergarten or first grade (depending on your age). Of course as we become mature adults, it is still exciting to get a Valentine's Card from friends, husbands, wives, children or anyone really.


Stampin' Up always has us covered with beautiful hearts and sentiments to cover all our Valentine card making needs.


This year is no different with the Adoring Hearts Bundle.  You get a beautiful stamp set, interactive dies with a hybrid embossing folder that allows you to cut & emboss at the same time.  Your dies fit in the folder so you can do both processes with one pass through your Stampin' Cut & Embossing Machine.


If you are interested in shopping for any of the products that I used in this tutorial, click here  to shop at my online Stampin' Up store.

Be sure to use the host code (EHN6CPC4) when you check out and you will receive a card kit with all the supplies to make 3 cards as a thank you gift.

Legal Pad Folio with Expanding File Folder

 I absolutely love making projects that are super fun to make, super useful to use, and great gifts to give to others.  I think this project is just that.  

We have all seen legal pad holders that are super cute and very useful but with this one it goes a step further with an expanding file folder built in.  Not only useful but it is so easy to make and I'll show you how in my Video Tutorial Below.





This item can be used for several different things. 
A Shopping List with place for coupons
Sewing notes
Card Templates
Bible Study
Birthday Organizer
Christmas Shopping List Organizer

The list could go on and on.

 This set does it all and if you're looking for a set to cover all your Valentine Cards this year, look no further.  Adoring Hearts definitely fits the bill.

Here is a stamp set with gorgeously elegant images, beautiful fonts and lovely floral hearts.

What makes this set a step-above is the hybrid dies & embossing folder.

Check out my video to see for yourself just what you can make with this set.  I've only scratched the surface with the 2 simple cards I've shown here.

Flight and Airy DSP meets Thoughtful Expressions Bundle

 Once again I find myself drawn to the Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper.  I'm not sure if it's the soft, soothing colors, the sweet little birds, the delicate florals or all of the above.  It really does speak to my soft side and brings me a peace as only "color" can.




It also lends itself to the soft pastels of Boho Blue & Bubble Bath cardstock.  Adding the gold accent on the front of the card seems to bring in a bit of elegance as well.

Trusty Tools featuring Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (free with $50.00 order during Sale-a-Bration)

I used the same fun fold I showcased with the Painted Lavender in yesterday's card.  I wanted to show you just how versatile this fold can be and it works for elegant cards as well as something like this one.

Softly Sophisticated with Old Olive & Pool Party

 For this change of color combination I turned to my Color Coach from Stampin' Up to help me find different colors that go together that you wouldn't think would pair well.  As you can see the Old Olive is beautiful paired with Pool Party and once again I used Softly Sophisticated Stamp Set and it is absolutely elegant and as the stamp's name it's sophisticated.



Remember that this stamp set can not be purchased but rather earned for free with a $50.00 purchase from my online store.

Bust those Christmas Scraps before you pack them away

 Let's face it...Christmas is over, all the hustle & bustle, the cooking, wrapping of presents, decorating, you know all that fun stuff that is work, work and more work but we love it anyway.  

Now is the time to pack up all your Christmas papers, red & green cardstocks and settle in to the winter months and look forward to spring.

But wait!!  Why not use those papers to make some gorgeous cards with this very simple layout that can be so gorgeous depending on your Designer Series Papers, aka pattern papers.








Here is a sampling of what I did with this gorgeous layout.  Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be just  Christmas papers but any that you have.  Everything is done with 1 1/4" x 2 1/2" strips.  How easy is that?

Bee My VALENTINE BUNDLE (includes stamp set & punch) along with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper

 Stampin' Up did it again!!  They gave us the cutest little bumblebee stamp and a builder punch that allows you to be so creative with your stampin' and cardmaking abilities.

I borrowed my color scheme from the DSP in designing this card and I love the way it turned out.  I did one in portrait and one in landscape.  This is a simple card with no frills but yet it is stinkin' cute and I believe anyone would love to receive this one.

You're in a pickle, DSP is Retired, What to do to make it work

 

You don't have to stress about it, make your own DSP.  If you have stamps, ink & cardstock, you're in business.


The picture does not do these cards justice.  They are stunning in person.  The silver heat embossing along with the white embossing on the Night of Navy cardstock lends an air of elegance all the while delivering the true message of Christmas.
