Friend's Birthday

Here is the card and box/gift I created for a good friend of mine.  The Faux Silk with Filter Paper instructions came from Stamping School.  I used different stamps than Linda Heller did but the idea is the same.

The card base is Lost Lagoon and I ran it through the Big Shot using the Filigree Frame Embossing Folder.  I love how deep it embosses.  The Flower is from Bloom With Hope and the leaves For All Things Stamp Sets.  The inside and circle are from the Amazing Birthday Stamp Set.  The circle top on the box was sent to me by Angie Juda when I ordered her Chic Stand.  It was there on my desk and I sponged around the edges and added an eye...viola!  Colored the Rhinestones with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities pen.   A little ribbon and mounted on Blackberry Bliss CS. 

Bob's Valentine Card 2014

Thanks to Angie Kennedy Juda for sending me this "free" tutorial for updating my request for her e-mails!  She just started selling Chic-Stands again too, I ordered one for myself and one for my Twin today.  Thanks Angie!  Here's my version of Angie's card (I didn't have the same heart stamp as she used so mine is the single stamp Flowerful Heart and punched with the Heart Punch).

The 'Thanks for being mine' is from Love You to the Moon Stamp Set.  I used Strawberry Slush Ink and the CS from DSP Stack (In Color).  I added some little Rhinestnes to the heart and also punch out a heart for the front of the envelope.  You can't see it, but I also cut an envelope liner for the inside of the envelope.  The ribbon is Strawberry Slush Ruffle Trim. I know hubby will love it!  Thanks for your "free" tutorial Angie.

Easy Halloween Frame

This project is so simple and so amazing!  I borrowed the idea from Chic n Scratch, that lady  (Angie Juda) is such a genius!  She has a tutorial on her site that shows you exactly how to create it!  Oh yeah, also a little "advertising" for Wal-Mart .... $3. frames!  All you need is your paper cutter and a package of the Witches Brew DSP and one of the $3. frames ~ it comes out looking so cool!

Sorry for the glare!
