Birthday Favors

Hey everyone! I have more favors for you guys today. I made some keychains as Thank You favors.

I used some punches and coordinating stamp sets to create the tags that I added to each key chain.

I also found this jewelry tree to display all the key chains on.

Here is the table we had in the backyard with all the favors displayed. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

18th Birthday

Hello everyone! Here are the favors that I made for my cousin's 18th birthday. I made some key chains for her friends and family to take home. And to display them, I found this jewelry tree and hung them on different branches.

With the help of MDS, I made these tags and attached them to the key chains. I also used MDS to help with the different characters and printed them out.

And here are her candles and roses that we used for her 18 candles and 18 roses ceremony that we surprised her with. She knew that she was having a party but I wanted to add that extra special event since she was celebrating the big one-eight :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

Curly Cute Thank You

Hello! Here is a thank you card that I made awhile back. My husband asked me to make one for him to give to someone, but I liked it so much, I kept it for myself and made him another one. 

For this card, I used Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake for the color scheme. I also used the En Français background stamp (109521). I love the look that it gives to cards. The 'THANK YOU' sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set (Clear 120510, Wood 117014). 

To add some dimension to the card, I added some Pearl Basic Jewels (119247). These embellishments always add that extra special little touch to cards or projects.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Hello everyone! I hope you all have a good day and Happy Memorial Day. 

Let's take some time today to remember and honor the men and women who have served and those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Never forgotten. Forever honored.

18th birthday card

Hello! My little cousin turned 18 a few weeks ago and we got to celebrate with her over the weekend. I still can't believe that she's a young lady now! My how time flies! At the party, we played a video for her with all these lovely pictures of her growing up and let me tell you... there was not one dry eye in the room! Ok, maybe just amongst the ladies... but the gents were pretty moved too even though there weren't any tears for them ;)

I had so much fun making this card for her. I went clean and simple but used my favorite tool - the Big Shot - to add some texture, cut out this shape, cut out the "18" and the pretty butterfly.

And you gotta love the SU silver glimmer paper! Adds so much lovely bling-bling to a card or any project :)

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

World's Greatest Mom

Hello!! Here is a card I made using the sentiment World's Greatest Mom:

For this "Mom" sentiment, I turned to the Family Reunion stamp set (Clear 122712, Wood 122710), which is on the retired list this year. And I absolutely LOVE this stamp set so grab it while you can before it's gone!! Oh and since my mom loves flowers, I had to add some flowers from the 5/8" Flower Trim (126869 ).

I also used another one of my faves: the "World's Greatest Wood-Mount Stamp Set (126270 ), which is also on the retired list so grab that one, too!! And don't you just love framelits? I do! I used the Labels Collection Framelits (125598) and I love how they look when they are layered.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!!

Congratulations card

Hey everyone! Here is a card that I made for my friend. She celebrated her 5-year anniversary at work a few weeks ago and I wanted to let her know how much we appreciate her. She is a rock star!!

I just love how curly this congratulations sentiment looks. Isn't it so cute?

And the flower trim is so fun to play with and so is the ruffled ribbon. And the Every Day Enchantment DSP which you can still find in the clearance rack.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

thank you card

Hello! Here is a thank you card for you guys today. My husband's aunt is so sweet. She always remembers to send a card for special occasions. A birthday card came in the mail awhile back and my hubby is so cute because he asked me to make a thank you card so that he could send it to her.

I just love this DSP. Such pretty colors and fun patterns. And I had to use some designer buttons and baker's twine to add some embellishments to the card.

And of course, I added a banner. hehe. But this time, I did something a little different and made the top half plain so that I could stamp the "thank you" sentiment and used DSP for the bottom half of the sentiment.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

BDay Banner

Hi! Today I'd like to share the birthday banner that I made for a friend. I wasn't able to sneak in before she got into the office, so we tied it up while she was sitting at her desk. Surprise! But even though we weren't able to tie it up early in the morning, she was still very surprised that we even had a banner for her. She's such a rock star! Of course we were going to do something for her birthday!!

I just love how the Just Add Cake DSP (124339) looks. Love the colors and patterns! And you can find it in the clearance rack which is even better!!

And I created all these banner pieces using the Big Shot (113439), the 3 Inch Circle Originals Die (122125), the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die (114507), the Perfect Polka Dots folder (117335) and the Stripes folder (123128).

Oh and last minute, I added an itty bitty flower on each banner piece using one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack (118309).

And we strung up the banner using some pretty Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (126872).

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Mother's Day card

Hello everyone! Here is the mother's day card that I made for friends at work and for family that I got to visit. I totally dropped the ball on mailing out these cards to all my mommy friends and to family out of state. I'm so sorry :( But I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day :)

I went clean and simple with this card and used negative space to sponge in these pretty butterflies. I added some itty bitty flowers and a bitty butterfly with pearls to add some dimension.

I also used an embossing folder to add some texture to the edge of the card. I really do like this embossing folder, it adds that fanciness and elegance to cards that I think is pretty :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there... near or far.... here or gone... here's to all of the wonderful mothers!! Mothers are simply amazing and today, we celebrate you! Enjoy your day and let others take care of you for a change :)

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. And if you can, don't forget to hug a mom today :)

Happy Birthday banners card

Hey everyone! Happy Friday :) Here is a birthday card for you guys today. I'm giving this card to my friend whose birthday is today! A few of us got together and we are bringing stuff into the office to decorate her cube. Someone is bringing flowers; someone is bringing a card that the group will sign and I'm bringing the birthday banner. Stay tuned for that one!

The 'happy birthday' sentiment is from the Wishes Your Way stamp set (Clear129156, Wood 129153).

I used some Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper (124339) to make these banners. Have I mentioned that banners are so cool? hehe. I also used some Daffodil Delight card stock (119683) to make the colors on the banners pop a bit.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

Memory Tray

Hey everyone! With Mother's Day just around the corner, I wanted to get a somewhat jump on the gift and card making. Over the weekend, I decorated this memory tray for my mom :) I used Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (126154) to create the background and started adding stuff after that.

I used some Lucky Limeade 3/8 Inch Ruffled Ribbon (122977) to trim the boarder of the memory tray. And used some punches and big shot dies to create some decoration for the insides of each individual box of the tray.

I even added some Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (127555). I can't wait to give it to my mom and help her add some pictures. Once that's done and if I get some pictures, I'll be sharing that with you too!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

Anniversary card

Hello! Here is an anniversary card that I made. I added this lovely build a brad to the card and it's so fun to use because you can add some DSP or whatever you like in the middle of the brad!

And of course, I had to add some butterflies.

And flowers with bling-y rhinestones.
