This card is really fun because when you pll the string it pops up and you can set it on your counter.  I’m not sure who came up with the original design, but I made this card at one of Janice’s Club nights. 

party-hearty-pop-up-closedIt features the Big Bold Birthday set #114926 $28.95.  I’m really excited because now they have a Stampin’ Up! exclusive Sizzlits’ 4-pack dies for the Big shot that match this great set 114509 $21.95.  I can’t wait to get it and try it out.  What fun we can have.

party-hearty-pop-up-cardIf you look close you can see the wheel that was rolled on the basic part of the card to create a background. (red part)  Wheels are a really great way to add a little depth to a project.  They are so fast and easy.

Marvelous Monday 1-19-09

cherishThis great page was done by my up-line Janice Barlow a couple of years ago for Convention.  I have always loved this page.  I just think the colors are beautiful together.  She colored the pretties flowers by putting them in a solution of ink refills and water I think.

Swapping Saturday 1-17-09

Time for swaps again and I’m still wishing I knew who it was.  I forgot to say one other thing as to why a lot of these cards don’t have names.  When we go to the local meetings we usually do full cards instead of card fronts like at convention.  This way we can actually use the card.  However because of this we often don’t put our name directly on the card.  Some will include a business card or the card might have a sticky note with the name, but they often get lost or removed.  That’s why I don’t know who to give the proper credit to.

s-split-treesI really love this card and the way that she stamped the trees and then cut them apart.  I just think it is a really neat look.  I also really liked how she put on the ribbon.  It’s unique and different than the traditional knot that most people do (including myself).  I think it’s a beautiful card.

Here is another great card from Brandi’s meeting.  Once again I really wish I knew who made it.  I want to say that it was Chantia, but I could be wrong.  I do need to redeem myself a little here.  I had a display at the meeting so between setting it up and asking questions I really didn’t get to look at the swaps people were giving me.  Otherwise I would probably know who gave them to me.  At least I might know some of them.  Please if anyone does know I’d love some help to give them proper credit.

cupcake-wheelAnyway I just love this card.  It uses the cupcake wheel.  I love the picture because you can actually see the sparkle on it.  I believe she used dazzling diamonds glitter.

This is a really fun wheel because it’s a line image instead of a bold image like alot of the wheels.  Which allows you to color it and really make it your own.  This is a really simple card but I think it’s so cute and she did a great job.

Wacky Wednesday 1-14-09

Here is just another simple rub-on, but I love it.  Sometimes I think we try to make things to complicated and need to remember that simple can be just as elegent.  I love the white rub-on with the black and white photo. 

limited-editionIf you can’t tell this is one of the very cute pictures of my little Xander when he was a baby.

All I’ve done is put the rub on directly onto the glass.  If I were putting it into a scrapbook page I would put it directly onto the picture for the same effect.  The nice thing about the glass is that I can change out the picture and still have the saying there.

Don’t you just love rub-ons.  If you haven’t given them a try yet the I really encourage you to start today.
