Favorite!

I love this purse the best I think. This is more paper from Michaels but not recollections. I love the zebra print and the reddish colored paper is the back of the zebra paper.

Vintage Flower Box!

 

This box was made with some papers I picked up at the store in Independence at the end of this summer on the way to the beach. I paired the papers with orange papers, ribbon and some pearls.

I feel this paper is very vintage-ish.

Black and White!

Each set of card boxes I made this weekend was my new favorite. Then I made a zebra print purse I love too.

Good thing I am making these for someone else. I wouldnt have room to keep them all for myself.

This one is made with Best Creations papers. Thare are glittery and the black sparkly ribbon really set them off.

Butterflies!

Each of the four boxes I made this weekend was my new favorite. I love them all.

This box is another one made from all Recollection collection from Michaels again. The papers rhinestones and even the butterfly I used for the front flap of the box. I matched the papers with SU Island Indigo and Lucky limeade.

Fall!? or Not!

I dont think this little guy has realized its fall yet. It was almost to freezing last night and I found this little guy this morning still going strong. I like to see some color in the yard when it is so gray outside.
Happy Fall!

Pink Leopard!

I think this is one of my favorite combinations for a card box. Recollections at Michaels has some of the coolest stuff.

I have another order for boxes and purses so you will be seeing a lot of them in the next couple of weeks. I want to get them done this weekend and next so I can spend the long thanksgiving weekend making and getting christmas cards ready.

Polar Bear!

This is a card I cased from Enchanted LadyBug . I redid it a little. I pulled some more christmas paper out of my stash. I went to the scrapbook store for some purse papers friday and restrained myself from buying anymore christmas papers. This is a digital image that I colored and cut out with some dies. Its a fun little card I just decided I wanted to make. I have decided to not make a lot of christmas cards this year.

Can You Believe!

Can you believe I still have more purses? I really like this one. Of course I love polka dots so maybe thats why. This is some more of the stampin up polka paper pack. I think it comes is 5 or 6 colors. There are only two sheets of each I think but if you love polka dots like I do, its a must.

Comforting Cocoa!

This was a fun little card I saw last year but by the time I saw it I was done with holiday cards. Although it wouldnt have to be a holiday card. It could almost be a sympathy card or used for many other things.

The stamps are both by Impression Obsession. They have some of the funnest stamps.

I pulled some more christmas paper out from who knows how long ago.

The paper behind the cocoa cup is cut out with a spellbinders die and then ran thru the cuttlebug with my all time favorite embossing folder Swiss Dots. I inked it around the edges and over the dots. I colored the cocoa cup image with copic markers. They didnt blend really good because I used different card stock then normal. Then I cut out the cup and used foam tape to mount it and added glitter. The green dotted strip is the back of the other paper, so I got exactly 12 cards out of two 12x12 pieces of ds paper with no scraps.

I added some cherry cobbler ribbon and layered the ds paper with lucky limeade cs.

Cream and Beige!

This purse turned out very elegant I think! The white flowers on it are velvet so it feels very nice. I still have a few more of this batch of purses to show and guess what! I just got another order for 10 more purses. So maybe I should rename my blog or something right?

Anyway, off to work on some more projects. I just spent over 2 hours cleaning house so I think I will work on fun stuff now.

That is after I find my table!! The one place I havent cleaned yet!

Silver or Gold?

I made this card is two different color combos. Well, same colors but different. This card is right out of the stampin sucess catalog. I am making it for stamp club and didnt have enough glimmer papers to make them all the same so I didnt two different ones. All the products for these cards are stampin up.

I love it when something so simple can look so elegant!

Seasons Greetings!

This little mittens are dies from Taylored Expressions. I love how she has the plain size and then the little bit larger scalloped sizes. I wish more dies were like this. The snowflake die along the bottom is from TE also. I have added lots of rhinestones to this card.

You can find the card that I cased here . Its another card I have cased from Shannon White. She has some really cute cards.l

I pulled out some christmas papers from my stash to use. The only new christmas papers I have purchased this year are a couple from stampin up.

Mini Purses!

These are some little mini purses I learned how to make over the weekend. I think they are so cute. They are the perfect size for a gift card or a piece of jewelry of just something fun you might have to give. Even some cash!

My big sis taught me how to make them over the weekend. She sells Miche bags and was teaching some other Miche bag gals how to make them and invited me also. Some of them were making them to match the Miche bags. Those were cute also.

Banana Poke Cake

I got this recipe from a gal at work. It turned out pretty good. Its really rich. Its a Poke cake. You make a cake and then after it has cooled for just a few minutes you poke holes in the top of the whole cake and on this recipe you pour banana pudding all over the top and it runs into the wholes. I added a layer of mini chocolate chips also. So it has cake, pudding, chocolate chips, whipped cream and then crushed Nilla Wafers. Then you add banana slices on top of that I added some more chocolate chips.

Lets Chat!

These cards were cased off Taylored Expressions . This link will take you right to the sample card done by Shannon White. She does awesome work. I have seen her work on several different cards I really liked. This set uses the Lets Chat stamp set and Dial In Style dies. I used different papers for my cards. I am making a card set for a friends birthday and she loves strawberries so I knew I wanted to use these papers. The card uses both sides of the paper the woodtone paper on the lower half of the card is the back of the strawberry paper. It is Pretty Party from Crate Paper. I found it at the store in Independence last month when we were on our way to the beach. The gingham paper is Quite Contrary. I cant find a whole sheet right now but there are great papers. They have a real wallpaper feel to them.
The phone has to be die cut twice for each one so I made each card with the phone opposite from the other. I also used a martha stewart border punch along the bottom of the card.
Taylored Expressions has the greatest dies and matching stamp sets. The dies are so easy to use also.
If you are one of my stamp club members you will be getting on of these cards in the mail for stamp club invites to, so I am making a bunch of these cards for two purposes.
