A cup of coffee

I was inspired by Lorri Heiling's card.  You can click on her name to see her tutorial.

I really like how this turned out.  The inside holds a gift card:

Isn't that a fun way to give a Starbuck's card?

Colors: Cocoa, Colonial White, Kraft Cardstock

Stamps: For Every Occasion (retired), old wood lips stamp I had on hand

Accessories: Taffeta Ombre Ribbon



Music Birthday Card

I made this card for the music teacher at school. I struggled with it, but am happy with the end result.

Colors: Twilight, Bamboo, Black

Stamps: Damask Tiles, Butterfly Kisses, For Every Occasion

Tools: Cuttlebug embossing folder (music), Punches (Stampin' Up! & Martha Stewart)

Card Box

This is a card box. I got the pattern for it from Paper Trey Ink.

I will be doing a class on how to make this box in September.

Colors: Twilight, Sweet Leaf
Papers: Emporium Paper Pack
Stamps: Connections, Today's Date, Dainty Thoughts, Thank You, For Every Occasion, Doodle Alphabet

I found a great product recently - a Sakura Quick Glue pen. I used it to add the glitter to the box front. I love this pen!

Graduation card

My nephew graduated from college on Saturday and this is the card I made for him.

The eyelets are actually set backwards on this card. I made a mistake on the first one because I was distracted by fighting children, but decided to just run with it!


Colors: Cranberry, Black
Stamps: For Every Occasion
Accessories: Black eyelets

Lots of Luck!

This is a nice 3-D shamrock made from four hearts that are scored down the middle and folded, but only one half gets adhered to the card base.

I hand cut the stem.

Colors: White Daisy, Clover Meadow

Stamps: Soul Mates (hearts), For Every Occasion
