Perpetual Desk Calendar

This idea came from PaperCraft Button YouTube Video.  It was fun to create and a bit challenging, well, maybe not for some people, but for me....yep!  I was bound and determined to get it made, so here it is!

The base is Daffodil Delight CS, the DSP is Sweet Taffy and the Stamp Set is Memorable Moments.  You can also go to her Blog for additional instructions and measurements. 

My Daughter is a Steeler Fan

My Daughter is a Steeler Fan and she also loves shoes!  I created this fun card for her with the Black & Yellow that she loves!

I used Daffodil Delight for the base of the card and the houndstooth is from Modern Medley DSP.  I used Black CS run trough Bigz Tasteful Trim Die.  She loved it.  I also cut the little heart in Daffodil Delight CS and sponged with black ink.  I used one of the cute clips elements (bird) to attach the heart to the front. The shoe is a current Hostess Set called Making Point in the Celebrate the Everyday Catalog. I stamped the shoe on Daffodil Delight CS and cut out the yellow part. I added Crystal Effects to the black part of the shoe.  I took it to her on Thursday this week, she loved it!

Bee Card

I found this card on Stampinonthefly and couldn't resist CASEing it!  Here's my try:

I used Naturals White CS for the base of the card.  Just love the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die, cut off the outer edge and sponged with Early Espresso Ink.  You cut the beehive twice, once from Whisper White CS and the second from Daffodil Delight CS.  I sponged some of the cut-outs and added them to the solid parts of the hive.  I used Backyard Basics for the Bee and with the coordinating Framelits, made it so easy!  the hello sweet friend is from Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set.  I added some Basic Pearls and viola ~ her card is CASE'd!  Love it!  Thanks Jennifer, love your site!

Daughter's Birthday Card

Happy Friday the 13th!  My favorite day to have 9/13 fall on.  My wonderful daughter Paula was born on a Friday, September 13th ...my lucky day!

Here's the card I created for her (my little Pittsburgh Steeler Fan)!

I used the new Thinlits - Label Card to create this card.  The paper is Basic Black CS for the base and Modern Medley DSP for the stripes and dots.  Since that paper was black/white I colored the white with Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Marker so it'd be her team colors!  The balloons were cut with the small Oval Punch and the Owl Punch (feet) and White Signo Gel Pen.  (Patty Bennett taught us how to do this on her site...so cute!)  I used Cycle Celebration for the Celebrate A Sweet Birthday on the front.  The finally a day that really is all about YOU! is from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set and I stamped the you! with Versa Mark and used White Embossing Powder, cut it out and layered it with deminsionals. I added some bling under it with the Clear Rhinestones. Needless to say, she loved the card!  Oh yeah, and all the Steeler stuff from the Sports Store in the Merced Mall!  Those people love to see me comin'!  I ran the Daffodil Delight CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  The little helmet was printed on Whisper White CS and "fussy cut"...  The message on the inside was computer generated.  Happy 45th my sweet baby girl~

Hello Kitty Thank You Card

Got the idea for this card from Connie Stewart at Simply Simple Stamping.  My niece got a new phone for Christmas and was texting me a thank you for the Christmas gift we had left at my Sister's for her.  So sweet, so I made this card for her. (Don't think she's been to my Sister's to get it yet, I didn't have her mailing address because they had just moved.)

I had to use the retired butterfly punch for the ribbon (luckily I found it in my spare room).  The center of the bow is a 3/4" Circle Punch and I added a Rhinestone.  The eyes are Basic Black CS punched with the 1/2" circle punch.  The nose is Daffodil Delight Yellow punched with the small oval punch and the whiskers I just hand drew.  I used the little Tag Punch for the hello was part of the little coo coo clock stamp in the Easy Events 2 of 2 stamp set.  I thought it was Connie's sight I found the card but when going back could only find the bag she made, pretty much the same recipe.  The inside of the card is computer generated and I added some butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.  I know she's going to be surprised and love getting mail at her Grandma's house.

Band Thank-You

My Nephew plays in the band at Calaveras High School.  They recently did a fund-raising dinner and my Sis asked me to make the Thank You cards for all the wonderful people who donated and helped make it a great success~

The logo she sent me and I used Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight CS on a Whisper White CS base.  I ran the Daffodil Delight through the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The Thanks was from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and punched with the Large Oval Punch and layered onto Cajun Craze punched with the Scallop Oval Punch.  I used the Moving Forward Stamp Set for the frog and his little motion jump line all in Gumball Green Ink!

Hope they were able to use the cards and the recipients liked getting them!

Paula's Birthday Card

My daughter had another birthday ~ she's almost catching up to me!  LOL!

I used Gloria Plunkett's trade card from one of our Luv2Stamp Group Meetings.  I changed mine up to use Daffodil Delight for the background paper and the Happy Birthday from the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set.  The flowers and background are from the Creative Elements Stamp Set.  These cards come out so cute and are so easy to do.  My daughter is a Pittsburgh Steeler FAN so had to do a "black and yellow" card for her!  Here's the inside~

I used the Framelits - Labels Collection to cut the inside paper.  The writing was done on my computer. It was a VERY busy day and we had a great time helping her celebrate!
