Fold- A- Long Tree Card

This card is done with a Sizzix die. The series of cards are called "fold=a=log". The designers last name is long.  I have admired the dies for a while and was able to get too on a big sale. This is the first I have done. My brother and niece helped make it before Christmas. 

Second Wedding card

Here is a second wedding card I did. The floral heart die by Sizzix and called Heart Card Front.  The words are from the same Stampin Up set as the other one.

I altered this card. I was told by someone they liked the other one better and I was hoping this would make them like this one more. Haven't decided if it does or doesn't. 

Which do you like better?

Have a Creative Day!

Wedding Card for trip to Peru

Next week, I leave for 2 weeks in Peru with my mother visiting some relatives. She has first cousins there that she only meet for the first time last year. We are going for a wedding so I have been working on some wedding cards. I was pleased with this one. The hardest part is finding two dies ot punches that work for the hearts. I used a Sizzix die. I am sure it is very old and probably not made any more.

The words and flower embossing folder are by Stampin Up. 

I might have to make more of these. 

Have a creative day! 

Back again with Card class posts.

We have continued to have card classes even though I haven't been posting here. Had my Blog hijacked for a while. You probably won't be able to post any comments for a while until I am sure it is safe.

This was a class a few weeks ago that we did pop up cards.  All the paper was purchased from Tuesday Morning so I am sure they are discontinued ( but cheap) except for the card base which was from Stampin Up. The stamp and punch are from Stampin Up. The pop up die is a Sizzix die. I got it at Sizzix.com

This one is much the same. All solid paper is Stampin Up. The pop up and decoration are two different Sizzix dies. Pattern paper is from Tuesday Morning.

Here is the third card we did and my favorite.  In this one, only some of the stamps and the punch were Stampin Up. The die was Sizzix. The inside stamp was a set of clear stamps I got at JoAnn Fabrics. Paper was from Tuesday Morning.

Have a great week!

Thank You Cards

I needed help one Sunday for someone to direct the choir and lead the music. These are the cars I gave to the people who helped out. 

I used an EK music note border punch here and saved the punches I cut out to decorate the paper. The paper was from bargains I got at Tuesday Morning quite a while ago. The "thanks" was cut with a Sizzix die. 

This is done with Stampin Up paper and stamps. The ribbon is some bargain ribbon I got someplace.

More pop ups from class

This card was cheating a little. I had a lot of card parts left over from the mother daughter activity on Wednesday so I just added a pop up inside. 

The front is a Stampin Up die called top note. The thank you is also from Stampin Up. The flower is a Sizzix die, I just had a pile of card bases. A pile of top note die cut pieces and a container of flower parts. Everyone could do their own thing. 

 Inside we used a Pop n Cut die by Sizzix. I think I love these. I don't have a base for it besides my Tim Holtz base so I did my own thing. The flowers were cut with an EK punch.

 The front on this card was done with a Stampin Up stamp and punch. The embossing die was from Sizzix.

The inside pop up is a Pop N Cut die sold by Stampin up. The additional dress and floor stand is also from Stampin Up The Happy Birthday is cut with a die from Paper Wishes.

Thanks for popping in

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with people they love. I wish there was more peace and joy in the world. Real happiness that comes from within.

Here are some cards I did over the holidays.  They were requests from a friend at work. She asked for bigger cards that my usual so these are 5 x 7

The die of the lamp is by Sizzix.  The background is also a Sizzix embossing folder. My friend Maria got it earlier this holiday season and share some die cuts but I was able to get my own at JoAnn's in the clearance area.  I printing the words using the Stampin Up digital program, My Design Studio. 

The paper came from a pad, I love the nontraditional colors. I got the pad after Christmas last year and haven't seen it again. I think I got it at JoAnns. The stamp of a poinsettia is by Stampin Up. 

This is a digital print set from CraftUPrint. com.

Christmas Every Month

I am going to do a Christmas card with my card class every month. This way everyone will have a start for Christmas.   Here is the card we did in Feburary. Simple, but pretty. Background was a Sizzix embossing folder. The word was embossed with silver embossing powder.

White on white is hard to see but it is pretty. : )

Halloween at card class

I do a card class in my home once and a while. We did one last night and I designed the cards yesterday afternoon. I was very happy how they turned out doing it so fast.

Here is the Halloween card. My next two posts will have the Thank you card for Thanksgiving and a Christmas card.

I got the image from   http://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2010/10/witch-with-her-familiar.html 

The background crackle, I got from I Brake for Stamps

I used a cuttlebug holder for the spider web.

I printed the words :Hope your Halloween is ....

I colored the image with copics.

In side is a pop tree by Sizzix and a pumpkin doe with a cutter and embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I printed the words Spook-tacular

Pop up cards are such fun!!!

Heard you were draggin'

I made this for a little boy who was recently in the hospital. The dragon is a Sizzix die I got at Sizzixoutlet.com.  It is a great site for bargains.

The paper that looks brow in the picture is shinny copper colored. I believe I got it from Paper Temptress. You should try out her paper if you haven't before. Nice stuff.

The words and design around them are from Stampin Up. The punched border is also from Stampin Up.

Father Day Pop Up

Pretty card, huh? : ) Well, I like it but the real fun is inside.  I got a wonderful bargain at Sizzix.com . I had wanted this die for a while. The front of the card is done with some very pretty paper. The words are a sticker. The shells are cut with a cuttlebig die.

Here is the card open.  It just makes me smile. I think it will work with a camp themed card too. Pop up cards are such fun!!

Here is a close up. Can you believe this folds close?!?!
