Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope all of you are enjoyed your Mother’s Day.  I’m spent my Mother’s Day weekend with my husband and friends in Moab, Utah running the Red Rock Relay.  I did it last year and had so much fun.  Once again we had a great time.

Red Rock 2014

I wanted to share with you real quick the project we made last month for our monthly club.

Mother's Day Box

Each club member was able to make this adorable mother’s day gift box perfect for that special gift for mom.  The box was made using the envelope punch board.  Yes this board is great for so much more then just making envelopes.

Mother's Day Box Open

To make the box I started with an 8×8 piece of paper.  I used the punch board and lined my paper at the 5 then punched and scored.  Afterwards I moved it to the 3 and punched and scored again. I repeated this on each side of the paper.  Once I was done with that I used the corner rounder on the top to round all my edges.  Last you will want to flip the paper over and use your score board to score the center marks on each of the corners.  This is the part that you can see folded in.  This is also where I placed the glue to hold the box together.  You don’t need to do this only if you want the box to stay together withouth the belly band.  In the picture below I’ve drawn in the score lines so you can see them.

Envelope Punchboard Box instructions

I finished the box off with a fun belly band.  You’ll notice that our box matches the cute card that was available to make in the card buffet.

Mother's Day Flower Card

Here’s a close up of the cute belly band and the flowers that pop.  I finished the flowers off with a little pearl in the middle.  I love how they look.  Remember to use your bond folder to curl your flowers and give them more dimension.

I hope you had fun sharing projects with your mother this mother’s day.  I love sharing handcrafted projects with my Mom as well as family and friends.

Would you love to see my work at Convention?

Hey everyone would you love to see my work displayed at Convention this year?  Would you love to see fun projects out to new products?  Then let Stampin’ Up! know by leaving a comment of which projects you love of mine.  I’m showing just a few of my favorites, but I’d love to know what you love.

First for a few of my favorite cards:

Follow My Heart Card

Blast Off Birthday Card

. Alligator Banner CardOf course I have lots more favorites, but these are some of my more resent ones.

Next how about a scrapbook page.  Now most of you know that I love digital.  However I am excited to get started with the new Project Life that I just ordered.  I’m loving the idea of getting all those pictures sitting in boxes onto pages.  However I thought I would share one of my favorite Digital scrapbook pages.  This one is one a made a while back, but I still love it.

Disney Album-001

To top it off lets share a couple of my favorite 3D projects.  3D projects are actually one of my favorite things to create.  I just love seeing what I can make out of paper and our products.

First is my banner.  I loved the banner kits in the holiday catalog because it made these so easy.

20131112_203640

Next I’d like to highlight my Christmas Tag box.  I love these treat boxes.  It’s so easy to make simple gifts with Stampin’ Up! products.  This was one of my favorite projects from my Crazy for Christmas projects.

Christmas Cheer Box

Once again if you’d love to see more of my work at Convention this year leave a comment with your favorite projects.  I’d love to know anyway.  Bonus points if you put the link.

I hope you enjoyed some of my favorites.  Remember you can share some of your creations on my facebook page.  I’d love to see them.

Flowers for Mother

Mothers love to get flowers for Mother’s day so this card is perfect.  She’ll get a special note from you and beautiful flowers that won’t die.

Mother's Day Flower Card

This card is extra special because it has a fun hidden note behind the flowers.  The pot is actually folded in 1/2 and you can pull the top flowers out to revel a hidden message just for Mom.

Mother's Day Flower Card with tag out

I absolutely love the detail and dimension in this card don’t you?  It’s so easy to achieve with the bone folder.  Simply hold the edge of the bone folder on the center of the inside of flower.  Press your finger on the other side of the flower against the bone folder and pull.  This will help to softly curl the paper much like you curl ribbon with scissors for a balloon.  This is also a great effect for curling tags.  They are finished off with a tiny pearl in the center.

Mother's Day Flower Card Close Up

Be watching for the cute matching box that we made for club.  Just a quick reminder two of the colors on this project are the retiring in-colors: Primrose Petals & Raspberry Ripple.  They will be gone soon so be sure to get yours before they are gone.

Birthday Bow Card & Gifts

Today is my Birthday and what better way to celebrate then with a fun Birthday card.

I love this card because it’s so simple and easy.  The cute bow was made with the Envelope punch board.  One of the special projects my club members learned how to create.  The tag is so easy to create using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, one of my favorite products from the occasions catalog and simply a must have for any stamper or even no stamper for a quick tag.

Birthday Bow Card

I realized I never showed you the full pictures of the projects from Club that featured this fun bow technique.  The first one used the scallop Tag Topper Punch again this time to create a fun little package that you could stick a treat in like lotion or something yummy.  This could be used for a Birthday gift or just because.

Good Thoughts Bow Package

The next project is on one of our Decorative Window gift Boxes once again decorated with the cute paper bow.  This time it is attached with a cute belly band that can be slipped off to revel a fun treat or gift.

Birthday Bow Box

 

I really love these bows they are so easy to make and perfect for almost any gift project.  Make them out of your favorite Designer Series Paper for a world of possibilities.

Happy Graduation Cards

I can hardly believe it but my oldest is graduating from High School next month.  Not quite sure how that happened.  I figured many of you might have someone graduating as well, whether it’s a child, sibling, spouse, grand-child, niece, nephew or friend it’s always great to let them know how proud of them you are.

I have two fun cards to share with you today.  Both of these are available at my Stampin’ Buffet this month.

First is more of a traditional Graduation card.  Shaped to look like a Graduation Cap.

Graduation Cap Card

Underneath is a card that’s just the perfect size to write a quick note and let them know how you feel.

Graduation Cap Card Inside

Then of course my favorite part, the tassel.  This can be customized to fit the colors of your graduates class.  My son’s just happen to be orange, blue and white.  I even used the gold paper to create a gold band.  The fun tassel is made with white baker’s twine and colored with our inks to match the school colors.  How fun is that.

Graduation Cap Tassel

My next card is a little bit more modern.  This one is great for anyone who just needs a little note of encouragement and great job.  It could even be for someone that just needs a little pick up or someone getting ready for a big event.  No mater who you give it to they will love the fun modern look of the shapes, colors and words.

Horray for Today Card

I hope you will join me in making one of these cute cards and celebrating the accomplishments of your friends and family.  What ever stage in life they are from Kindergarten to College and more we should let others know we care and hand stamped cards are the perfect way to do just that.
