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!!!

Sending Springtime Smiles

Here's my version of a card I cased from Laurie Zoellmer.  I used Marina Mist CS for the base, added a layer of Soft Suede CS and cut two squares of Whisper White CS and ran that piece through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Sending Springtime smiles and the blossom are from Easter Blossoms Stamp Set.  I cut part of the blossoms out with the heart punch and sponged the edges with Soft Suede.  The blossoms in the heart were colored with my Marina Mist Stampin' UP! Marker and the I added some Two Way Glue and sprinkled on some Glass Stampin' Glitter in Baja Breeze.  The Blossoms and sentiment were layered onto Soft Suede CS, the sentiment backing punched with the Oval Scallop Punch and the Blossoms background just squared up behind the Whisper White and added a layer of Maria Mist CS with a strip of Crochet Trim Confetti Ribbon gathered and glued on.  I splattered with Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker put into the Spritzer Tool. 

I'm totally ready for Spring ~ I'm sure you are too!

Happy New Year 2011

Here's my first post for 2011!  It's a Birthday Card  for my Step-Grandson, he's going to be 18!  How do those kids get so old so fast??

I used Marina Mist CS for the base, layering onto Crumb Cake CS.  The DSP I used is Blueberry Crisp.  The images were stamped onto Very Vanilla CS.  The Happy Birthday Stamp on front is from the Afterthoughts Stamp Set and the Monogram B is from Broadsheet Alphabet Set.  Inside the cake is from Fun & Fast Notes Stamp Set and the little saying under the cake comes from the Hostess Set Birthday Bakery.  I colored the images with water color pencils and used the blender pen.  I sponged the edges with Marina Mist.  Sure hope he likes it!  (It's up to Papa Bob to put something inside that really makes him smile!)

Another Birthday....

Here's the card I made for my Brother-in-law, his B-day is this Sunday. He's my twin's hubby and what a great guy ~ he has made Judy and I so much cool stuff to store our stamping supplies.

I used the new Perfect Punches Stamp set for the happy birthday, Sense of Time for the clock face and Kraft (or what will be Crumb Cake) CS for the base, Night of Navy ran through the Square Latice Embossing Folder. The edges were sponged with the new Early Espresso Classic Ink and the happy birthday was stamped with Marina Mist Classic Ink. I added a couple of little brads to the clock face and mounted it and the happy birthday with dimensionals.

Best wishes for a GREAT year Mike! Love ya, Julia

Father's Day

Hi All ~

Hubby loved his Father's Day card yesterday. I used some of the new in-colors, I'm lovin' the blues this time. The backing layer is Marina Mist CS layered onto Not Quite Navy (embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder) and then Kraft CS soon to be Crumb Cake CS. The label was done with the Matchbox Bigz Die and the BBQ guy is from the stamp set called King of the Grill (that set also included the Happy Father's Day that I punched out with the Word Window Punch). I used my stamp pads and Aqua Painter to color the BBQ guy inside the circle. We played golf and had an early dinner with my daughter .... the day was awesome. Hope all your Father's Days were good.

Hugs,

Julia

Matchbox Easel Card

I love this idea ~ check out Inking Idaho's blog for more instructions! Isn't she totally awesome? Judy made one of these for Jeremy (my nephew) for his graduation $$$ ~ what a cute idea, huh?

I used the new Marina Mist CS for the Matchbox, added a couple of brads and the best wishes from Short & Sweet Stamp Set and the little tree and pot from Bouquet Bunch. I added some linen thread around the pot for a little depth.

Hope you like it?
