The "tag" card was made using Spellbinder's die: S3-1028 Standard Tag. The tag was made with Core`dinations paper (when it's sanded a lighter shade of pink shows through). "Stamp" paper is from Michaels, and scrap pieces of paper were added to the top and bottom, for additional color. (Never throw scraps away....these are very small pieces of paper, but they worked perfectly)! :) To the image we added liquid glass (cupcake), stickles (saying at bottom) and pearls. We made the envelopes from Mulberry paper and added a stamped saying (again from Michal's $1 spot), and stickles to the heart. Coordinate ribbons to bring out colors in the image.

For the Heart shaped card (Michael's valentine pack), I used die: S4-136 Classic Heart from Spellbinder's, ribbon, stickles, hemp and I added a button. Inside we used the "happy <3 day" stamp again. This card I kept simple, so people could embellish how they liked, using red, pink or white paper, "lips" stamp, and various ribbons. No 2 cards were alike! I think people like having the opportunity to have a base to work from, but to add their own personal touches to it. :)













This was our project for our Stampin' Up club for January. Card on the right is a "treat cup" card. When you pull the tab, it releases the M & M's, but the card remains intact. :)
I made these cards for our Stampin' Up card exchange. Products used: liquid glass, stickles, pearls, chalk ink & ribbon.

This is a K & Company calendar kit that I made for my parents for Christmas. (I made my in-laws one as well; same kit, but different photos). I can't believe how awesome this turned out. I love K & Company's "Classic K Bailey" paper set anyways...so this was so cool, making a calendar out of that paper line. Love it!

mini Christmas Memory Album


This project is made using Spellbinder's die: S5-017 Snowflake Frame (on the front), and one of my FAV. paper companies, MME. This is their "Signature Christmas" line. Love it! :)


This project is not one of my own making this time. The idea comes from my sister, Terre. Thanks for sharing ideas sis! :)

Christmas Photo Frame

This class was alot of fun! Everyone chose their own paper and accessories to use, so everyone's frame was unique. To start, this is a $1 wooden frame from Michaels, that we covered with sticky adhesive sheets and applied our paper too. We cut the excess off with an exacto knife and sanded and inked all the edges. Our Spellbinder's dies for this project are: S4-220 Nested Pine Trees & S4-085 Snowflake Wonder

"Spidey & Batgirl" aka Caden & Deianiera
You know those "Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" commercials? That was my inspiration for this project. I made this frame for my brother-in-law, Brian, for Christmas. This is just a plain wooden $1 frame from Michaels that I painted black and covered in spiderweb paper. I sanded the edges, and cut the letters using my Cricut. For the sayings, I printed those out on my computer, and then made "talk bubbles."
Snowflake card











Features: S4-124 Classic scalloped circles--Lg. (Spellbinder's die), Just Rite stamps "A Merry Little Christmas," pearls & ribbon.

Poinsettia card











Features: S4-219 Nested Poinsettias & S5-019 Labels 8 (Spellbinder's dies), stickles, christmas print paper & stamp.














I love these stamps!!! The stamp set is from CTMH, "Ms. Holiday Cheer," as is the liquid glass and flock. Chunk glitter is from SU.
I used copic markers to color the images; and stickles, beads, ribbon and brads to dress it up...and give it some bling. :)

6x6 mini Thaksgiving page

This mini album page features the Spellbinder's die: S4-168 Large Labels. It is the frame around the picture. For this page we used 2 different printed papers, ribbon and buttons.

The picture is of my daughter, Deianiera when she was about 1 year old.














6x6 mini Christmas page

Since I did a picture of my daughter, this page is of my son, Caden.

This page has rhinestones, stickles glitter, ribbon, and of course Spellbinders dies. This time we used S4-085 Snowflake Wonder and S3-150 Ribbon Tag trio. (This is a set of 3 tags, previously I used one on the treat box).
Stampin' Up club projects

These were the projects we made at out last Stampin' Up club meeting. I love the dove stamp set (I had to buy it). The ornament is made using a paper punch. You just use ribbon, glue and beads, and put it all together. I really enjoyed this project! Thanks Karen for sharing your wonderful ideas.

Stampin Up Club card exchange

This card was quick and simple! I glued thanksgiving paper to my card, added eyelets to the corners, cut out a tag (and wrote Give Thanks), tied it to the pumpkin using hemp, and used my Spellbinders die: S4-227 Nested Pumpkins (this is the largest one). I then added "lines" to my pumpkin using brown chalk and a q-tip. :)
