A Birthday Gift for my Neighbor

I made this cute A2 box and cards set for my wonderful neighbor. I used the Cottage Wall designer series paper. My favorite card out of the set would be the one with the 3 vertical strips on the card with the saying of "Kindness comes in many forms but always from the heart."

The original stamped image was to large for my card. So I used my Design Studio to "Stamp" the image in a coordinating color and shrink it to fit. Have I told you before I LOVE my Design Studio? It is great having all theses stamps a click away and I can change them how ever I want.

Thanks for Looking and have a Wonderful day.

Card Supplies:

Card Stock: Old Olive, Whisper White, Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry, Cottage Wall DSP

Stamp: Heard from the Heart, Teeny Tiny Wishes (LOVE this set!!), Matchbox messages, Hugs and Wishes

Ribbon: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive,

Die cuts: beautiful wings and cherry blossom Embosslits,

Punches: Scalloped circle, 1 3/8 circle, modern label, word window.

Box Top Card

I found this card idea in an older issue of Card Creations and had to try it. I love cards that have that WOW how did she do that effect but are super easy to do. The top card using the More the Merrier stamp set measures a 4 inch square.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper white, Bermuda bay, Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Pea DSP

Stamps: More the Merrier

Ink: Basic Black

Markers: Chocolate chip, Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda bay, Old Olive, Real Red
Punches: 1 in square

This was my first attempt with making this type of card that I am calling the "BOX TOP" card. Anyone have something better? Let me know. All products are SU except the orange dot paper I used for the stars. Sorry Traci :( The finished card is a 5 inch square.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Old Olive, Chocolate chip, bashful blue,

Ink: Chocolate chip

Punches: Large star, Small star, 1 1/2 in circle, modern label

Misc: 5/16 silver brads, 2 way glue pen 100425 LOVE this and use it for everything

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about my cards and what we should call this type of card. Or if you know the correct name for it.

Thanks for looking. LORI

One Sketch 2 Looks

I have finally starting using my new Sweet Pea DSP. I wanted to make the perfect project with it. I think these cards turned out pretty good. It's great that the paper is double sided. I just flipped over the paper for the background on the top card and the small rectangle on the bottom card.

I don't know if you can tell in the photo or not but I embossed the taken with teal DSP. My tip for this would be to adhere the DSP to cards stock first than emboss the two pieces of paper together.

Enjoy and have a Great Day!!

Top Note Valentine's Day Treats

Seeing my older son making Valentine's his for his classmates my 3 year old, Owen, wanted to make something for his friends. These were quick and easy. I cut the top note and then embossed it with the Elegant bouquet folders. The heart is from the Love you much set.

These would be quick and easy to make for a last minute treat.

Have a good day!

Non Traditional Valentien's Day

This cute Valentine turned out well. I know sometimes we get tired of the traditional colors so I thought I would try one of my favorite color combos.

Card stock: Chocolate chip, Bashful blue, Very Vanilla,
