"Super Easy Card Holder"

I pretty much cased the cards from sam.2001 on splitcoast cause I loved them. She used pocket silhouettes and I used garden silhouettes. (I don't have pocket silhouettes) I love the colors that she used for her card. It is one of my favorite color combos. I think that the Flight of the Butterfly is my favorite stamp set. I bought it when it first came out cause Sarah's teacher loves butterflies and I wanted to personalize the things that I made for her.

The card holder holds 4 cards and envelopes, and it is super easy to make. You only use one piece of cardstock too. When you thread the ribbon through, you do it so that it will hold the cards and envelopes in place. Here are the directions on how to make the card holder.

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Garden Silhouettes
Paper Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Butterfly Punch, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Hand Held Circle Punch, Dimensionals

"Upsy Daisy Card Set"

I went to LA last weekend to stamp with friends and get some inspiration. Of course I didn't get much done but I like what I did and it really felt good to stamp again. I seem to have a talking problem, I can't stop doing it. Which keeps me from stamping. Oh well, I made 12 of these cards, three of each color. I plan to give them to the teachers for end of the year gifts. I used tango tangerine for the orange but pumpkin pie is actually the matching color for the DP. I guess I got caught up in the stamping and didn't pay attention. At least it doesn't look too bad. I think I have to get nestibilities. I really love them and how they look.

Paper: Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Tango Tangerine, Whisper White, Washington Apple DP
Ink: Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Tango Tangerine, Chocolate Chip

"3 x 3 Card Set And Box"

This is another card and box set that we made at my stamp club. I do not have the dimensions for the box though. I will try to get them and pass them along when I get home. Tomorrow I am going back to MN for a funeral. My grandma's sister passed away. She was 91. She had pancreatic cancer. I asked Tony if I could go back for the funeral so I could see my grandma. I was actually surprised that he said I could. My grandma doesn't really remember me anymore which sucks cause we used to be real close. My visit isn't going to be long but that's ok. I fly in Thursday at noon and my flight home leaves MLPS at 8am Sunday morning. I get back to Sacramento at noon. However, Tony said that he will pick me up after the Vikings game around 1:30. They are playing the Packers. Can't tear him away from that game to pick me up. Typical football fan ha?

"Birthday Card Set"

Last night I made this set of birthday cards. I love love love the ski slope paper. The colors are so pretty. I have made lots of cards with this layout before. It is easy and looks good. I used to make two of each card but Kristine got the idea in my head to make several cards in different colors and layouts. What a great idea. Thanks Kristine for showing me the light. LOL. I am making six more cards for this set folded a different direction.

Here are the other three in this layout. I got a bunch of clear card boxes from Papertrey to put them in. They are perfect for giving them away. You get 10 boxes for $6 and depending on the thickness of the card, the box will hold 12 cards plus envelopes. You might have to rotate the cards to fit them in though, which is fine.

Stamps: Happy Everything, Eastern Blooms
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, Ski Slope DP, Whisper White
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red
