Still Quilting

I love to make quilt cards and when the Sale A Bration catalog came out and I saw the DSP, Everyday Enchantment, I feel head over heels in love. Who wouldn't love such beautiful paper especially when you get it for free! Seriously, I love SAB time. I restock all of my card stocks and adhesives and treat myself to some of those stamp sets I haven't gotten yet and then on top of all of this stampin' goodness I get to pick out free stuff. It's the best time of the year!!!

This type of quilt card is so easy to make it is almost embarrassing to explain. Punch out squares and arrange using your grid paper to keep it all straight. I actually glue it right down to my grid paper and when I have the proper size I just cut around the glued down squares, grid paper and all. I used the Top Note Die and my Big Shot to cut out the shape and then ran it thru again in the Square Lattice Embossing Folder to give it a textured fabric quilted look. The base of this card is Melon Mambo, such a happy color.

Don't forget you have till Valentine's Day to get your order in to be included in the drawing for the chance to have the Winning card come to your house.

Stampin' for my Girl Scouts

Today we will have our weekly Girl Scout meeting and I am going to give them a Valentine treat and so is Kaylee. I made them Owls out of the Pillow Box Die and several punches. I cut off the top and bottom of the die so that I could cram and I mean cram a package of conversation hearts inside. This project needed a lot of sticky strip to hold it all together, sticky strip is wonderful to hold things together that are under a lot of stress.

Kaylee used the Heart Framelits and using the Big Shot made two layered hearts and wrote her message to the girls. The heart reads; " Our troop would knot be the same without you". She always attached a friendship bracelet to the hearts. I know this afternoon there will be some happy girls when they get these goodies

Don't forget the contest to win my winning card, place an order before Valentine's Day and you will be entered to win. Details in post below.

The winning card

I entered a contest at Leadership where we were to use a set from the Occasions Mini and make a card. I entered several cards and one 12 x 12 scrapbook page and I won !!! I have never been so excited in my entire life and that is saying a lot since I won a car when I was 15 1/2, well actually my Mom won because I was not even old enough to enter. Anyways, SU! kept the card and I came home and had to recreate it to show anyone who was interested and a couple of people who weren't interested but that is their problem not mine.

So I made 3 copies, one to keep in my Stampin' Sanctuary, one to send to my new Leadership friend Meg and one to give away. So, are you interested in owning your own copy of this card ? You can enter the giveaway by placing an order of at least $25 by Valentine's Day. You will earn an entry for each $25 in merchandise you order. You may call, email me your order or just order online thru my site. Any questions just ask. Don't forget it is Sale A Bration time, the best time of the year, where every merchandise total of $50 earns you a free item out of the Sale A Bration catalog. I had extra catalogs here if anyone needs one. Good luck and happy stampin'.

Valentine Wreath

I have been spending some time on Pintrest lately and saw this beautiful wreath made out of hearts. I decided to try my hand at this with the free Designer Series Paper you can get with your $50 order during Sale A Bration called Everyday Enchantment. I chose 4 pieces of paper and cut 2 strips of each which meant I got 8 different designs to work with. Cut strips 2" x 11". Fold the strips in half and adhere right sides together to make a heart shape. I used Sticky Strip one of my favorite adhesives when I know it has to stick. Put a small ribbon inside the heart I chose for the top and there you have it a Valentine's Day wreath to enjoy.

nephew's birthday card

I made a special birthday card for my dinosaur loving nephew. The dinos pop up when you open it up. Hope he likes it. Who am I kidding, he will love it, he is just a big kid inside, who cares that he is now 28!!! My oh my that makes me old. Happy belated birthday BTB.

Valentine Class

On Friday, February 10th I am holding a Valentine's Day Class. We will make this card and a Valentine Treat Holder. This card is a little more complicated than most and will most likely take a bit of your time but is so beautiful. It is my version of the card Shelli Gardner demonstrated at Leadership. This class is offered at 2:00 and at 7:00 and is only $7 if you pay in advance or $10 if you just show up.
