World Card Making Day project.

This is one of the cards that the ladies will be making for World Card Making Day. The color isnt very wonderful because of the lighting in my apartment but I think you get the picture. I came across a similar card at one point when I was blog surfing, but cant remember where. I hope they like the card. Its very simple but uses the scallop edge punch in a different way then just to make a border. Ill post the final card they will be making after their class on Friday. If you would like to join just shoot me an email to laurafiske89@comcast.net Thanks for poppin by!

Pocket Silhouettes

Hello! I thought I would share one of my hostess gifts with you all. I gave this to my hostess Andrea last night after her tile coaster class. She LOVED it, as did I. I was sooo please with how it came out. This stamp set is just gorgeous and so versatile. What I did was bought a coffee mug and gave it a rubbon treatment with some rubbons I had left from Sale-a-bration. Inside the cub there is a mini composition book, and rsvp pen, a bookmark, 4 peppermint patty sandwhiches, and a post it not holder. On the mini composition book I also used a rubbon. Had I thought about taking a picture before I had it all put togher you would have been able to see it, but I totally didnt even think about it. I was rather upset with myself. Anyways I Used the Urban Garden dsp for the notebook, pen, and post it note holder as well as for the scallop on the paper clip. I used baja breeze and chocolate chip as my main colors and thats really all there was too it. The post it note holder has magnets on the back so that it can be hung up on something. Sorry the pictures arent so great. I was in a hurry and the lighting was bad in my kitchen. This is such an easy and cute gift to make. I had a lot of fun making it and like I said she LOVED it!

Thats all for today. Thanks for swingin through!

Halloweeeeeeen.

So I've been looking around for some card ideas to go with the halloween theme that are really cute and fun to make. I came acroos Dawn's blog and thought this was the cutest card ever! So I just had to case it. This is what I came up with. I used kiwi Kiss and Lovely Lilac cardstock, black Stampin write marker, white gel pen, 1 3/8 circle punch and the 1inch circle punch. To make the bolts I just cut a rectangle out of sahara sand (it was the closest thing I had to gray) then punched my 1inch circle out of sahara sand. I then cut about 1/3 of the circle off and used my snail to adhere it to the rectangle. It was really a pretty simple card. I love it. I also made him a friend. I found the instructions to make a mummy card. This was also just tooo cute. You can find it here. This card was also pretty simple to make. I sued pale plum (i think), black, orange, and very vanilla cardstock. To make the eyes I used my 1 3/8, 1 1/4, and 1inch circle punches. It looks a little better if you have the 3/4 inch circle instead of the 1inch but I dont have it sooo.. I imporvised. I think he looks cute. I sponged creamy caramel onto the very vanilla to kind of give him that dirty look. I think since my world card making day class is in October we will be making these 2 cards as well. They will be just in time for Halloween and if anyone needs the supplies to make them, they will have time for it to come in. If you would like to make these cards simple join us October 3rd.

Thanks for stoppin by!

Candles

How cute are these?! what a great way to make your candles cooridinate with the decor in the rest of your room. I bought these Vanilla candles and used the snowflake spot stamp set...I was so sad to see it retire. It really was a great stamp. I cant recall which blue I used to stamp them. It was a marker...looks like navy, but I cant be sure. Anyways all ya need are some candles, tissue paper, stamps, markes/inks, and a heat gun and VOILA! You have yourself some candles!

Thanks for poppin by!

Another Christmas Card

I really am trying to get my next couple months worth of class samples done ahead of time for a change. That way I dont feel so rushed and I can enjoy making the projects. I got the inspiration for this card from a magazine that I get. The card in the magazine has the same layout, only its more plain than mine, however it is a gorgeous card. I used the layout and new I wanted to make a Christmas card with it. I decided that I wanted to make each square look like a Christmas present. So I took out my ribbon and thats what I did. At least I think they look like presesnts. Let me know what ya think.
