Sale-a-bration Strip Card

 Sale-a-bration is almost here!!!   I am going to teach some simple cardmaking techniques and designs.    I call this one Strip and a Block!   You can make this card out of anything but I have used the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper for this card.   

I cut a strip of this paper 2 1/4"  by 5 1/2".     Then I cut a strip of white to put behind it and cut that to be 2 1/2" by 5 1/2".     I put a daisy on the card and a circle using the Approaching Perfection stamp set also free with a $60 purchase in January and February.  

If you do not yet have your catalogue - just let me know.

 I haven't posted for  awhile so will post many of my Christmas cards on this post.   I am still making some so I have some to begin the next season with.  I love sending cards especially at Christmas so like to have lots on hand.   I love Stampin' Up products.   They had so many lovely Christmas products to make cards - paper and die cuts.   Here are a few of the cards I had fun making.

I won a set of cards at my WestCoast Creator meeting.   There were 20 in the package and these are four of the ones I made.   Sometimes it is good to buy the cards and  the matching envelope with it and then it is great to make some quick cards with.

Here are some cards I made using my Pine Woods Bundle and then I used up some DSP to make the ribbon card on the top.

These were fun to make.   You pull the ribbon on top and the bottom slides out as well.  You make them with a slide mechanism that is actually a ziploc bag.    You tape it around a piece of card and then the two pieces slide out.   I love making neat things like this.    

Gift Certificates

 If you need cards to give as gifts for your family and friends I can help you!   I have a wide assortment of handmade cards for every occasion.   What I have been doing with my friends and some customers is sending them a picture of 20 cards or so with numbers on them and they choose which cards they like.    I sell my cards 4 for $10 so you can give a nice assortment of cards to anyone.      I also do classes and teach people to make cards and sell the products you can use to do this.   It is so satisfying to make your own cards and you will be surprised to learn how easy it is with a little guidance!

Dragonflies

 

These are two more cards I made once we had finished Onstage Convention...    I used the DSP that you can buy with the suite of products and then I cut out the background pieces with other dies I have.   I hope after Christmas we will be a little more back to normal and have some classes.   

Lovely New Suits!!

 This is a little sneak peek of a suite of products that makes an endless amount of fabulous cards!!  I knew I would "need" this set as soon as I saw it.   I have seen many cards on Pinterest now with even more fabulous ideas than I came up with.    You can make men's and women's sweaters, men's suits, doctor and nurse outfits, and more.    I have an idea for a wedding card which I will try after I get my Christmas cards all made and sent out!  

Aren't these neat cards???   I have so many more ideas to try.    If you would like a catalogue in your hands to look at - just let me know!    

Card Assortment

 

Just a selection of cards for Christmas which you can buy or make in a class.   This year's Pointsettia dies make gorgeous pointsettias - white or red!  I have been working all week on the nativity scenes with the nativity dies and I love this Nay and White combo!   The trees and the birds are great fun to make cards with as well!   If you need Christmas cards I sell them 4 for $10.

 

Treat Boxes

 These little boxes are very easy to make.   You can buy the boxes from Stampin' Up, put them together and then just decorate them.    You can buy white boxes like the one on top and add paper, or you can buy gold ones like the one on the left.   I sponged with Cherry Cobbler ink the box on the right so you can see how different these little boxes can be.   

They hold chocolates and other assorted treats or you can make 3X3 inch little cards in them for tags to put on gifts.  Just leave a comment if you would like to make some of these boxes as gifts for your friends.
