Just for you tag card


Craig and I went and saw Dark Knight this morning, and while it was very good it was very long. It's been awhile I guess since I have seen a movie all the way through. Usually I get a break or two or three during any movie that we go and see. Funny how Jacob can hold it all day until you get in a dark movie theater. But today I realized that I have gotten used to those breaks maybe almost as much as he has. The movie was very good though and Heath Ledger was extremely good in it just like they have been saying. So I thought and Christian Bale makes a very cute caped crusader also. Our newest T.V. show that we are watching here at home (Craig and I) is a BBC comedy called the Vicar of Dibley. It is very funny we are on a priest kick the last show was called Father Ted that is now one of my favorites right behind Keeping up Appearances and Mr. Bean. Well enough about tv and movies, here is the first card from stamp club on thursday night. I always forget how much I like tag cards until I make them again. I do like the way that they turn out and I really like this one as well. I struggle with using the designer papers, I love them all and own almost all of them as well but never really use them once I have them. I think that I will try and use them a little more often after these cards though. Thanks for looking.


Recipe:

Paper: Cutie Pie, certainly celery, bashful blue and whisper white

Inks: Basic black and purely pomegranate

Stamps: Bud basics, just for you is from Sock monkey (sorry available next month)

Other: silver brads, certainly celery grosgrain ribbon, round tab punch, word window punch, corner rounder and pop dots.

photo cube




Ok I was going to finish making the projects for stamp club this morning, but as you can see I didn't. Isn't this the cutest thing I just love it. I found it online and now can't find the blog spot that I found it at. When I do I will figure out how to link it for you. The base that I made didn't fit so I will have to make another one. But the kids are bugging me to get in the pool and they think that I have stamped long enough today. KIDS!!!! Oh well so here it is I used the summer picnic paper and then coordinating papers and ribbons. This is super easy and I still am really impressed with how cute it is, can I say that one more time. I will get projects for stamp club posted here in the next day or so also. Thanks for looking.

Unfrogettable flowers for you


Ok here is my second card I guess it should have gone after the last post. Oh well, those of you who know me are just surprised I have done this much with a blog I know. Yes Jenn I am referring mostly to you. I have never really known how to use the double paper clips so this idea came to me today I think that it is different but looks ok. I used my new scallop punch from stampin up on this card and I love this punch. Well thanks for looking and I am off to finish getting ready for stamp club tomorrow.


Recipe:

Paper: Flowers for You, tempting turqoise, mellow moss and whisper white

Stamps: Unfrogettable (this is one of my very favorite stamp sets)

Other: flower fusion, hodgepodge hardware, basic black ink, pastels, blender pens, scallop edge punch and old olive twill tape (I stocked up on the olive and brown twill tape while it was in the mini cause I just love the way that it looks)


Thanks for looking

Sock Monkey


I haven't posted anything in a while I haven't really had the time to stamp anything new lately. But this morning I woke up wanting to spend some time stamping so I did. While the kids fought over who had more time on the play station I tried to tune them out as much as possible and I stamped. Jacob did finally decide that he wanted to stamp also, so he helped some and then made his own cards. I actually got two different ones made today that has to be a record. Can't wait till school starts, then maybe I can get a few more done in a sitting. This first card is with the new sock monkey set that is going to be in the new catalog, I think we can show them off already. I did run out of brad in the hodgepodge hardware so I had to use some that were just from the craft store but as close as I could get. Thanks for looking.


Recipe:

Stamps: Sock monkey

Paper: more mustard, real red, always artichoke, tempting turqoise, whisper white and east coast prep

Ribbon: artichoke, mustard and real red

Inks: basic black, more mustard and real red (on flower)

Other: brads, pretties flowers, pop dots, word window punch, photo corners punch, pastels and blender pen.

I'm getting ready for open stamp here at the house tonight. Very excited actually I have wanted to spend a lot more time stamping lately and this gives me an excuse to make Craig watch the kids and for me to have some uninterrupted stamping hopefully. I made these cards the other day and aside from a couple of very sore thumbs from all of the punching I think that they turned out pretty cute. I can't remember which blog I originally saw them on but I did case them from another. I ended up making 10 of each cause I liked them so much. Don't know what I am going to do with 50 but my kids always want cards and they are also cute cards to give to kids. The hardest part of this card though is the corner rounding there is so much of it and I could only find an old rounder that I have that isn't the greatest. I think that I will definately invest in a new one. I put a paper clip on the bottom corner of each just for the pic.

Stamp set: Tart N Tangy
Paper: only orange, yoyo yellow, whisper white, real red, glorious green, pink passion, green galore and gable green
Inks and markers: pink passion, green galore, yoyo yellow, only orange, real red and glorious green
Punches: 1 3/8 circle punch, 1 1/4 circly punch, scallop punch and corner rounder
Also used: popsicle sticks I did chop mine in half and only use half on each card
