Butterfly Corner Bookmark

Do you ever get tired of making cards all of the time? Well, guess what? I do. I like to make 3-D projects more than everyone probably realizes. If you look on my blog it looks like I like making cards more because that is what most pictures are of. I really do enjoy 3-D more though. I will see something another demonstrator has created and think I need to try that, but unfortunately I don't usually do it. Maybe I should make this a goal and try to do a 3-D project at least once a month. I think that is a good idea. Now lets see if I uphold it.

I have seen other people make corner bookmarks, but this is the first time I tried one myself. They turn out to be very nice. This is one of the projects I am going to be doing in my next class. I still have to come up with 2 more projects, which I have ideas for, I just need to make them.

In case you are wondering why 2 of the pictures are similar. I just wanted to have more than one view of what it looked like on a page in the book.

This last picture shows what the entire bookmark looks like. It is a fun project 2 make. In case you are wondering, I used basic black, real red card stock, and first edition specialty designer series paper. I am also planning on using these same colors for the other projects I make too.

Be watching for the other projects I am going to be making for this class. I will try to get them posted fairly quickly. It is hard sometimes though because I work outside of the home too.

Simple Birthday Card

I believe this is the easiest card I have ever made. It turned out look pretty elegant too! It is a one layer card, except for the addition of the butterflies. This is also very fast to make.

To make this card I used all Stampin' Up! products. I used the Just Believe, Hello, Doily, and the Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp sets. For card stock I used whisper white. I used crumb cake and cajun craze classic ink. The tools I used was a Big Shot, color spritzer, and beautiful wings embosslit die. I also added some basic pearl jewels.

This is so simple you should give it a try yourself. Thanks for looking and feel free to leave a comment.

Happy Dirt Day Blake!!

Today is a very special day for a very special little boy. It is my grandson's 2nd birthday! Can you tell by what is on the card what he likes to pay with? He loves trucks and cars. He likes to line them up in a row (like a train) and by size too! His birthday party was Sunday. My daughter said he kept saying, "Wow!" Yesterday morning when he got up he was still saying, "Wow!" Yep, so cute.
On to the card. I made this card using the Stampin' Up! stamp set "I Dig You." I thought this was the best stamp set to use for Blake. For card stock I used naturals white and crumb cake. I used early espresso, daffodil delight, bashful blue classic ink, and black staz on ink. For tools I used a stampin' sponge and the color spritzer tool. This card was a lot of fun to make. It has quite a few layers. I cut out each of the trucks and tractors to try and make this card look as realistic as possible. It was lots of fun to make, especially since it was for someone very special to me.

Thanks so much for visiting my little section on this wide world of blogging. I would love to know what you think. Please leave a comment.

Baby Pillow Boxes

When I placed my last Stampin' Up! order I bought some things that could be used for favors. I have kind of wanted the pillow box die, but wasn't sure about it because of thinking it might be too little. It turns out that the size is great to put some little candies or mints in it.
I bought the baby bundle stamp set and wanted to implement it into these pillow boxes to see what they would look like for a favor for a baby shower.

Stampin' Up! items used for the baby girl favor:
Pillow box bigz die, Big Shot, Beautiful butterflies bigz die, Perfect polka dots textured impressions embossing folder, Dotted scallop ribbon punch, Jewelry tag punch, Baby bundle stamp set, whisper white, pink pirouette, and pretty in pink card stock. The iridescent ribbon is retired and I can't remember the proper name of it.

Stampin' Up! items used for the baby boy favor:
Pillow box die, Big Shot, Beautiful butterflies bigz die, Stripes textured impressions embossing folder, Dotted scallop ribbon punch, Jewelry tag punch, Baby bundle stamp set, whisper white, bashful blue, and marina mist card stock. Once again, the iridescent ribbon is retired and I can't remember the proper name of it.

When stamping and using your tools the ideas you can come up with and make are endless!!
Thanks for stopping by. I pray I have inspired you to create or try something new too.
