Christmas in July 2013

We changed things up a bit as we started making Christmas Cards. This year we are going to make 3 designs for each month and make 12 cards.   Here is one of the cards we made this month.   it is on the glitter paper to cover up the stamped scratch paper underneath :)


Paper:  Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Polka Dots DSP
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Linen Thread, Button

The strips at put on with dimensionals and the stamp is retired.  I usually put out all my sayings and people can choose what they want.

Bunny Motorcycle Cake

This was my second attempt at a motorcycle cake.  I made it for a baby shower.   I found the directions on Pinterest.  I think it turned out so much better then my first one.   

Patriotic Projects

 know my blog has been lacking and have a lot of pictures to post.   I had a couple of classes in June with a patriotic theme.   The frame was in a class of its own using various punches.   I live this frame.   It is so stinkin' cute.  These frames have been so much fun.

There was a pin on Pinterest that showed a cute wood flag with Chevron stripes.   That piece inspired the Chevron cards.  

The tissue box is also just as cute as can be.   This was inspired by a square in the frame and by the banner.  

Masculine Cards

I am trying to use up some of my old DSP so created or cased these Masculine cards. I love them!  I am so glad this stamp set carried forward from the spring mini last year.  It is a great set to use for Masculine cards.

The card above this caption is actually the inside of the card above it.  I love the idea of putting an inside of a card this elaborate.  I CASED the idea somewhere on the web.  I plan to try that more but so far I have not done so.  

Heart Frame Decor

I made this Framed Heart Decor at a fellow demonstrator friends house - Jessica.  It is really cute and was really easy to make as she did a lot of the pre-work - Thanks Jess.  I am now offering this class to my stamping friends on May 10th and May 11th.  Just in time for Mothers Day.

This is the Rosette bouquet that I made for spring.   I used the new stamp set Spring Sampler for the centers.

St. Patricks Day Flower

I Love making these rosette flowers.   This is one that I made for St.  Patricks Day.   The ladies all made one for tonights Potluck Friday class.
