Birthday Card

This card was made for my daughter using a couple of retired sets from Stampin Up (little girl and balloons). The clouds are from a CTMH stamp. The butterlies are from the Stampin Up sizzix beautiful wings die which I have placed a pearl in the center of the butterflies. The grass is from a TAC stamp set which I stamped in wild wasabi ink from SU and sponged around the bottom edge in the same ink color. The clouds and girl were masked and sponged with SU sky ink as well. I then cut the image out with my nestabilities and layed with another nestabilitie die. The balloons were stamped on different patterened papers and cut out. I then placed them on foam dots to add dimension. I adhered some white floss for the strings of the balloons and attached them to her hand, I added the button for a little added interest. The girls overalls and top were paper pieced and shaded with markers.

Fairy Birthday Backpack

 I made this backpack for a friend of mine for her birthday. The instructions for the backpack were from Splitcoaststampers.com I used the fairy set from Stampin Up for the main image that was paper pieced and shaded with alcohol markers and then cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities.  Studio G dollar stamps were used for the embossed images in the background. The top flap of the pack was cut using Tim Holtz Ornate on the edge die. In the front pocket I placed a small 3x3 card and placed a small gift inside the backpack which is held closed with velcro.

C.C. Designs card with Fancy Nancy papers

My daughter needed to make a card for her classroom aide and this is what we came up with. She picked out the colors and stamp and mom helped with the layout and coloring.

This card was made using the Fancy Nancy designer paper pack. I used the card base cutout from the stack as our base. The girl is from C.C. Designs which I paper pieced from the stack and colored with the few copic markers that I have and popped her up with mounting foam. I then added glossy accents to her flower and also on the butterfly on the cs layer punchout. The rosette is made from Tim Holtz rosette die with the Fancy Nancy paper. The sentiment is from Stampin Up cut into a banner shape.

Daughters Thank You cards

Here are some 3x3 Thank You cards that my 6 yr. old daughter made for friends who gave her Christmas presents. I think she did a wonderful job. She picked out all the stamps and paper, mom helped with punching and cutting mats. She's turning into a great crafter. The stamps are from Studio G and the bird and owl are Stampin Up punches. The tree was colored with chalks. The bird she used her crayons on and the smiling flower was paper pieced that she cut out herself

Holiday Gift card holders and wine tag

Here are a few samples of some gift card holders that were made for family. The stamps are from The Angel Company (images), the sentiment is Studio G and the paper line is from my stash. The holders are belly banded. The first photo is a wine topper that I had made as my tag. The stocking is flocked. The snowflakes are punched and a piece of white shimmer cardstock was placed behind them. The borders on the other cards were using an EK Success border punch. I used nestabilities to layer the images.

Winter mini album

This mini album was made for my daughter-in-law who does not scrapbook, so I kept the mini very simple. I used DCWV winter stack that I am still trying to use up that I had bought a few years ago. The stamps are from Studio G and Stampin Up. The snowflake embellisments are confetti from Walmart. and I used Tim Holtz on the edge die for the pockets. I used Kathy Orta's card and envelope technique for the mini. The cards and envelopes are Recollections from Michaels. For more pictures I have added a slide show of the mini in detail.
