My Grandson's Card for 6th Grade Camp

I created a card for my Grandson while he's at 6th Grade Camp next week:

I used a Black card base.  The Raccoon and Trees are from the Life in The Forest Stamp Set and the word "Memories" is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set.  The background is Daffodil Delight CS.  I cut out a moon with the 1" Circle Punch using Tangerine Tango CS.  I stamped the raccoon on Basic Gray CS and added his eyes back in and used a white gel pen to make them show up.  I stamped the trees onto Gumball Green CS and "fussy-cut" them and the raccoon out.  I used a piece of white Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon across a strip of Black CS on the front.  I did a little sponging around the moon.  He leaves in the morning and will be gone all week. I remember my 6th Grade Camp, hope he has as much as I did.  He's so excited!

Table Saw Gift Card Holder

I saw this on Laurie Zoellmers's site some time ago.  I ordered the tutorial and here's my version of the Table Saw Gift Card Holder designed by Amanda Corbet at Craft Project Central.  This project was very tedious, not sure how anybody ever figures this kind of stuff out ~ let alone put together a step-by-step tutorial for it!  Thank you Amanda...

Now ~ here's my version:

Will have to be somebody who will keep this gift (not just the gift card) before I'll be using it!  LOL!!!

Wendy's Birthday Card

November is a big Birthday month for us.  Here's the first of several cards I need to get into the mail.
I used Basic Gray CS for the card base and Pink Pirouette CS for the first layer and ran it through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder on the bottom half.  The Melon Mambo CS was used for the backing on the greeting Birthday Wishes from the Watercolor Trio Stamp Set.  I used the Decorative Label Punch and punched out one White CS and one Melon Mambo CS, cut the white ones in two and made a backing for the Melon Mambo label.  I cut the stamped image out with the Small Oval and sponged with Melon Mambo Ink.  I added 3 Basic Pearls below the greeting.  The flowers on the top are from the Just Believe Stamp Set.  I added Basic Pearls to two of the flowers and I sponged the edge of that with the Melon Mambo ink also.  The Rick-Rack across the center of the card is Melon Mambo CS cut with the Bigz Die Tasteful Trim.  I used more flowers on the inside stamped with Melon Mambo and Basic Gray Ink.  Sure hope Wendy likes her card.  She's in New Hampshire so it has a long way to travel to get to her.
