... have to be believed to be seen.
Hey guys! Here's another card from Niki's Black and White class. I really do like the look of black and white cards. Clean and Simple and oh so elegant, too. And that First Edition Specialty DSP (121878) is so versatile. It goes well with all different kinds of cards.
The tree is from the Lovely As a Tree stamp set (Clear 127793, Wood 115026) and we added some bling to the top. Doesn't it sort of look like a Christmas tree? Pretty cute, huh? The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246) are a must to have on hand just in case you want to add some bling to a card or project.
And the 'Some things have to be believed to be seen' sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set (Clear 120453, Wood 116948). We tore one side of the card stock to give it that extra textured look. Then added an Antique Brad (117273), which is one of my favorite embellishments.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
Hey everyone. Today is an extra special day and an oh so very happy one because 5 years ago today, I married my true love, my soul mate, my husband. I am extremely blessed to have Ben by my side on this lovely journey that people call married life. I know, I know, mushy central! hehehe. Can't help it! I so HEART that guy :) And it is true, time does fly when you're having fun because sometimes I can't believe that 5 years has flown by already! And here's to many, many, many, many more Anniversaries to come :D
And here is the anniversary card that I made for Ben. Of course, I went with our wedding colors and theme. Blue, Ivory, Silver and Butterflies :) Can I just say that my husband is amazing because bless him for putting up with my butterfly obsession since we included them in EVERYTHING! hehehe.
I finally got to use the En Français background stamp (109521) and I actually bought it so that I could use it for this year's anniversary card. It's just so pretty and romantic to me. And the angel's wings and heart is from the Affection Collection stamp set (Clear 127949, Wood 127946) from the Holiday Catalog. I punched out a silver heart with the Small Heart punch (17193) and added a Large Pearl Basic Jewel (125577). Oh and behind the small butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507) is that pretty scallop burst, which is also from the Affection Collection stamp set.
I also used the larger butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die and I added a glimmery 5 on top of the butterfly. I used the new Typeset Alphabet Bigz die (127553) and used Silver Glimmer paper (124005) to cut out the number.
The 'Happy Anniversary' sentiment is from the Memorable Moments stamp set (Clear 126682, Wood 126680). I also sponged all over the card because well, I like the look of sponging :) I also added another strip of Midnight Muse behind the Very Vanilla and used the Scallop Edge Border punch (119882) to add a little border.
And of course, I had to add something on the inside of the card, too. Yup, went all out for this guy ;) Glimmer paper, background stamp, big shot action, punches, a large pearl, butterflies and sponging! Oh and did you notice that the angel's wings with the heart was actually cut out with scissors? Yes, I used scissors to cut something out!! Now that's love ;) And you know, to me, Ben is the World's Greatest husband :) Which is why I bought the World’s Greatest stamp (126270) just for this card. The 'HUSBAND' sentiment is from the Family Reunion stamp set (Clear 122712, Wood 122710).
Phew, that was a little novel wasn't it? haha. I guess I had a lot to say for this very special occasion :)
And this is what I have to say to my lovely husband..... I LOVE YOU, happy FIVE YEAR anniversary and THANK YOU for filling my heart and my life with so much happiness XOXOXOXOXO
Have a great day everyone, enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by :)
Hello and Happy Friday! Here is a lovely black and white card from Niki's "Black and White Class". Isn't it so pretty? I love the butterflies! and I love her classes! Check out her October schedule here.
We got to play with Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507), the Scallop Trim Border punch (118402), the Boho Blossoms punch (119858), some Antique Brads (117273) and some Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim ribbon (118481).
The 'just for you' sentiment is from one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets - Teeny Tiny wishes (Clear 127802, Wood 115370). And not sure if you can see it since it's very subtle, but we also used the En Français background stamp (109521). I finally got it myself! It's been on my wish list FOREVER!
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day :)

Hey everyone! Let's go back to the Think Pink event that we had last week for a bit. I want to share the lovely displays that my fellow demos brought to share with the ladies who came to the event. It's always great to look at displays and snap some pics of projects that inspire you :) And let me tell you, these SU ladies are SUPER talented and inspire me every day! You should check out their blogs! Check out my blog list to get some wonderful inspiration :)
Here are the 4 pink projects that the ladies got to make and take home. They were so fun to make and I think I'm going to have to add these to my To-Do list of projects that I want to create.
Here is the card. Isn't it so cute?!?! And what I like about the card is that it uses punch art. LOVE punch art!!!! I'm a HUGE fan of punches and an even BIGGER fan of when you can use punches in new and different ways.
And it's been awhile since I've made these tile picture holders. I think I have to find an event so that I can make these again ;)
And these key chains... so super cute!!!! Right?!?! I'm seeing a bunch of stocking stuffers that need to be made in my near future ;)
And here is the ornament. This is a really cute idea for an ornament too because you can use up all those lovely scraps that you've been holding on to. Or maybe it's just me that has a TON of scraps. I don't know why, but I just can't let go sometimes! Can we say.... hoard much? I know, it's an obsession.
And I must say that the Redbridge house is such a super cute venue to have events. I can't wait until the next one! And I know you can't either ;) Even if it won't be at the Redbridge house, I'll let you know where and when the next fun filled event will be.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)
Happy Birthday Sandy!
Hey everyone! Today is a special day because it's my best friend's birthday :) We've known each other since our teeny tiny days at Elsa Widenmann Elementary. We've known each other for YEARS! She was my maid of honor at my wedding and today we get to celebrate her special day.
This is the card that I made for her and we sent it out in the mail the other day.
I love banners and decided to go with a bunch of them on her card. I used one of my favorite DSPs - Summer Smooches (125409). Aren't those colors so fun?!?! I love how bright they are.
And the 'happy birthday' sentiment is from the Family Reunion stamp set (Clear 122712, Wood 122710). I wanted to use an embossing folder to add some texture to the card and decided to go with the Stripes Folder (123128) because I thought it would go well with the banners.
And to tie it all together, I used some Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon (125583). That's one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! - how well all their products coordinate with each other :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hello! Today I want to share the lovely decorations from our Think Pink event that took place last Week. It was such a fun event and thanks to all the ladies who came out to craft with us. The projects were fun, the food was tasty, the drinks were yummy and the ladies were great to hang out with.
On the banister is that cute pink wreath and that pretty THINK PINK banner.
And from the ceiling, these cute paper decor were hanging here and there in the front room.
Waiting at the door were these pretty pink leis for the ladies attending our Think Pink event.
There were even some favors and bracelets for everyone.
And look at those cute little swag bags that we gave out so that the ladies could put all of their projects in.
This was such a fun event and thanks again to all the lovely ladies who came and to all the demos who helped put on this event :) If you couldn't make it to this event, hopefully you can make it to the next one! We will be having another event in November so stay tuned for more info.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
