Stampin Stresss Away with Carole'Anne

A Little Bit of Magic Gift Card Holder

Howdy Friends!

Only two more days till the weekend ! Yhe! I have had a really busy week and I am really excited about the weekend! Especially cause I get to hold a class on Sunday! That is alway so much fun! ouh and whow I invented something really cool and I hope my class will LOVE it!??

So today I want to share a little gift card holder that I created - this is not made form a template on the internet - I created it - All by my self HE HE I am a big girl now LOL

If you like it I can do a complete tutorial on this on Saturday - if you wish!

for now let me show you What I did with this cute little stamp that is new in the

Summer Mini Stampin Up Catalogue

I stamped my image on Watercolour paper

with Black Staz on

That was my first try anyways

ouh and I failed miserably my first few attempts

but I am sure by now you know that I don't quit easily lol

and I decided that I should cut her out and put her on the mushroom

then for more little bling 

I used Crystal Effects on the wings

then I added glass beads to the center of the flower and I covered the wings with Dazzling diamonds

pretty uh?

okay let's assemble

okay so my thought

 

I did several scores!

did a bunch of layers

and inserted a ribbon very discretly (actually think I used this word in the right sentence LOL)

 

this is my first one

now for the others!

the flower up close

the pretty wings all dazzling

 

Voila my three cards that I made this morning!

phew and my post is done yhe

okay my friends tomorrow we will have our 10 min challenge with our new team!

So much fun uh?

So I wish you all a GREAT day Today and see yha tomorrow

Embossed hug from me

Chic Boutique - Gretchen's inspiration challenge and pal paper pink challenge

Good Saturday Morning to everyone!

I am a bit behind on this cold snowy morning - my son was heading up north for work this morning so we had to have some chit chat time before he left he he :) Even if he is 19 years old, he still likes to talk to his mama LOL :) Ahw!

soooooooooooooooo what did I do this morning - well firstly I have to say that I had so much fun!

Then again when do I not have fun with making a card lol :)

I started with Gretchen's sketch

ouh I just love this sketch - I have the perfect stamp set to go with it.

As I was thinking about the stamp set & I was reminded of the pink challenge that the girls over at Pals Paper Arts had going on.................

In the Pink - PPA14

Welcome to a special edition of the Pals Paper Arts Challenge! 

This week we are "In the Pink" for Breast Cancer Awareness...

So this is what I worked with - both of these challenges

 

Then the fabulous pink colours!

used Melon Mambo - Pretty in Pink, Textured black and Shimmery white (one of my favorite card stock that Stampin Up has to offer)

with my nice Chic Boutique Stamp I am ready to rock and roll LOL :)

ouh la la but I have show you this adorable picture of my Max having a little cuddle with his little gorilla - ahw he is sooooooooooooo CUTE :)

aint he the sweetest little doggy?

okay back to my card - I stamped the tower with Black craft ink and them embossed it

on shimmery white

then I cut it out

things are going well on this Saturday morning whow

This is pretty don't you think??

 A little scalloped punch action .............. I know I used this punch WAY to much..............

I sorry for that - I just love it - especially on a girly card like this!

This is not really what I had invisioned - yha - not so much! he he let me do some thinking LOL

 oouh.............Are you wondering, What is he world is  Carole'Anne taking a photo of the left over circles punched out of the scallop punch .???? Crazy me - had an idea! Yha really - ME?? LOL

so it consist of my stylus, some Crystal Effects (what would I do if Stampin Up did have this?? LOL) and the little left over circles

I made the cutest little pearls - you see we don't really have pearls or brads for the IN COLOUR that Stampin Up offers every year, so you got to come up with your own - I punched some Melon Mambo cirles from my Scallop punch and adhered them with the Crystal Effects. Then did another dab of Crystal effects on top! and voila we have a pretty little pearl - aint it cool???

here we go my card! - I Put those little circle in the tower - and around it as well!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I have a close up photos for you to see it better, Oh Yha I put glue dots (mini) on the back of the tower just to raise it up a bit!

can you see what I did a bit better with this  photo?

ouh yes and the saying I also embossed it and I used the "Peace Within" stamp set - of course Stampin Up stamp set LOL :)
well that is it for today ladies.  Tomorrow I will do the Stamping 411 sketch - it looks like a fun one!

oh yes and don't forget every time you leave a comment you get entered for that fabulous blog candy.

Have super duper Saturday, I know I will I get to teach a class today which is always so much fun!

ouh I also wanted to mention............ If you happen to have any suggestions to make my blog better, won't you please let me kow?? I would just love to hear any ideas, to make this blog just that much better.  Thanks a million!

 

Thank you all! Until tomorrow

thank you card with Chic Boutique Stamp set

Good morning everyone! I am late posting this morning! It's NOT because I slept in either!

But you see I had such a nice surprise when I got to work yesterday.

My girls (staff) had put together the most beautiful basket for me, it was a boss' day gift!

Having said that I wanted to make them a thank you card, but I didnt want to post it until they received it.

I still have another one to make, but she does not work on Wed. so for today I made 2!

I was just so surprised and really touched, so nice!

Of course I took a photo of it!

 

So now onto my thank you cards!

Oh yha but I have tell you first...............

That I was up at 2:30am and as I went to bed at 8:00pm (oh which was so grande)

so anyways coffee in hand and ready to make a card i stepped into my craft room at 2:45am!

But by golly George Renee was up!!! (she went to bed at 5:00pm - can you tell we were real tired LOL :))

so it was nice to talk to someone in the morning, but man oh man, was I getting interrupted. So yhap, it took longer then anticipated LOL :) She was created a power point of Greece! HE HE :)

 

 

Okay okay, sorry on we go to the card.  Sorry about that! I really really wanted to use my new stamp set called "Chic Boutique"

then I picked my colours, which were Real Red, Black and White and then I thought, ouh

yes I did not do Gretchen sketch yet.  I am so far behind! LOL :)
okay let me use her sketch with these cards.  Oh Yha FUN:)

 

 

now I am set to go!

I punched the the edge of my Groom paper and the red textured paper with the Eyelet Border punch!

 
added some pretty patterned paper!

I stamped the dress onto white, and the patterned paper, I used black craft ink and Silver.

I then embosse them, with black on the black (ofcourse HE HE :) ) and silver on on the silver!

I added some beautiful glitter to the dress.

now it's all about ribbon and maybe beeds!

ouh - pretty uh?

here we go - my two Thank you cards.  That set has the "merci" Stamp, which is so nice, cause, yhap I am a frenchy he he :) !

I have a few photos up close for you as well

 
   I put two different brads on this card.  Just cause I wanted to add "Bling" to it! HE HE :)

 

Photo of each card individually

 and this it for today!

Hope you enjoyed these cards, as much as I enjoyed making them!

so much fun!

ouh and don't forget tomorrow is Sandi and I's 10 min challenge.

We are trying to get Mr. Linky set up so you can participate!
