Cupcake Notes!



My friend and I were laughing at our version of note cards which are actually post-it notes. I saw this really cute idea by Becky Roberts here so decided to case it. These worked up really fast. The cupcake is from Carry On and the sentiment is from a retired set. I kept that set just for the sentiment that says "if you are what you eat, eat something cute". Thought it was cute.

I Dig You Thank You Cards



 
My grandson recently celebrated his 4th birthday and my daughter asked for some thank you cards to the people who sent gifts. She asked for truck cards since he loves trucks. Of course being that she's my daughter she needs them "now" Lol. I whipped these up in about two hours. I was happy to use up some dsp. I was going to paper piece some Old Olive cs onto the back section of the truck but it was late. So I stepped back, looked at them and said "done"! I think they turned pretty cute....
 
Recipe:
Stamps: I Dig You
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red and assorted retired dsp
Inks: Basic Gray, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip

Sending Some Snowbuddy Love






Hello there!



It was super hot in the past few weeks so I made this little card for my grandson to send his "uncle" that he loves so much. I purposely did not color it so he could color it himself. The feet are cut off a little bit but I was in a rush stamping during lunch but I don't think it's a big deal being that it's coming from a 3 year old ;-)  On the inside my daughter wrote "I hope this card helps you stay cool".  Cute huh?

Scentsational Season






Isn't this set super cute? I love it!  I went simple with these and just let the cute images and dsp shine. I have to figure out blogger cropping which used to work but now doesn't, well for me anyway! I love the new stamp pad for the gingerbread man image, see how nice it is compared to the splotchiness of the hot chocolate mug. I should get them all over time.

Recipe:
Stamps: Scentsational Season, Sentiments from Teeny Tiny Wishes, Petite Pairs and Sweet Essentials.
Inks: Soft Suede (love the new ink pad!), Cherry Cobbler and Bashful Blue
Papers: Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Be of Good Cheer dsp

Thank You Notes




This is going to be a super quick post. My eldest daughter asked for some little thank you notes for her birthday party and this is what I came up with. They are very simple 3 x 3" notes stamped onto Whisper White. Colors are Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo. After I took the pictures I added a little rhinestone to one of the hearts on each card. That finished it off!

Update: Recipe: PTI Heart-2-Heart, Stampin UP Whisper White cs, Dots from Deanna at Kloset Kreations. I love them because they are half the height of SU dimensionals and sometimes that's what you need.

Thanks for stoping by!

Today is Garage Sale Day!... and Last Set of Cards


Today is garage sale day! Here is the last set of cards that I made for Mom using Just Believe. I hope all the sets I made sell well. This particular set is the one I really love because it only took one set of stamps and was super easy to put together. And it's very very pretty! I know I made these in five colors but since I'm not a math person I only made 20 cards. (I know... lol!) So we ended up with only four sets of five cards.

Here's the super simple recipe:
Stamps: Just Believe
Paper: Whisper White, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Perfect Plum and Primrose Petals cardstocks
Inks: same as the paper plus Crumb Cake and Soft Suede (sentiment and frame)



Here are all four card sets I made all packaged up.

This is the first time I've ever done card sets (for sale) and it was a good learning experience. The lessons I learned are: 1) Give yourself lots of time 2) Make them pretty and don't forget the packaging 3) Do your math right (this I know! lol..) 4) If you make tiny mistakes (unless it's a crooked sentiment) probably no one will know - really! =) 5) Take pictures before packaging if you're going to blog it =)
