White Gel Pen...Do you own one?

This card was one of the projects we did at Stamp Camp, and the idea originated from a Swap that Mom received from the Branson Regionals.  I changed it up a bit and made it my own.  The White Gel pen is what is used to color in the white on the blossoms.  It's a great product to have... Do you own one?  Add that to your wish list.  If you don't have a demonstrator I'd love to help you get the Supplies you need to make this Card.

Creating your own designer paper

 Today was spent in my stamp room (mostly Playing) creating the projects for Stamp Camp this Saturday.  I usually spend sometimes days looking at all the samples that are on sites to get that creative juices flowing.  Some times it's easier than others.  But once it starts... It seems I can't quit!  I love that.  Above is where I've placed three of the clear mount stamps  from the "Nature Walk" stamp Set to create my own designer paper.

 Here is how it turned out.  It was easy!  The images are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.  The Bird cage is stamped in Early Espresso  to give that contrast look, and then I cut it out with our wonderful paper snips!  I applied it with some Stamping dimensional so that it pops out.  Colors I chose are Early Espresso , Not quite Navy and Natural Ivory.  Light sponging around the edges and layered on top of the textured Vintage wallpaper design that was created with my Big Shot and the embossing folder.

I'm hoping everyone will enjoy making this card and want to try making their own collage to create their own designer paper.  This stamp set is in our current Mini catalog which is available through the end of April, I suggest you add it to your collection.

Grandbaby Boy...Coming soon.

 Yep, I'm proud to say that in July our second Grand Baby will be born and we found out last week it is a BOY!.. This cigar box was one that was filled with bubble gum cigars that Darrell handed out when Dustin was born over 33 years ago and now he gets the box!  (bubble gum is gone).  The new baby will have THE Best Big Sister!  She is so pumped.  So I made this card today for her to let her know how lucky this new baby boy will be to have her as a Big Sister.

 This Set of four is one of the free sets you can choose from our big catalog with your $50 order.  I had a ball paperpiercing the clothes on these two cute bears!.. If you know me at all you know I loved (love) paperdolls and cutting things out.  Next favorite thing is coloring so this card is right up my alley!

Wonderful Favorites

 I received a swap at Leadership from Vilmarie Maldonado, Not sure where she is from but I loved it.  I am always in search for a great masculine card.  The other thing I loved about it was she used a set I have and hardly ever use Wonderful Favorites. and combined it with a new set from the occasions mini Button Button.  I changed it slightly.  and If you've been around you know I do have a wonderful husband.

This is one of the cards for the "Just Cards Club" that meets once a month.

Petal Cone die/box

 This is an altered Petal Cone.  Yep it's a box.  You may have already seen this, but this was my first attempt on doing this.  It's going to be really cute at Easter.  Yesterday was my Mom's Birthday so I made the box and a charm insert for our Simply Adormed  Charms.  These can be seen on page 189.  The petal cone die is in our occasions mini catalog on page 15.

 I added a Valentine charm for her since her Birthday is also Valentine's Day

 Other trinkets, Bobbles and circle charm add so much to this fun project.
