Topsy Turvy

Ok....so just like everyone else who has tried the top note die, I have fallen in love with it. It is so versatile! For this weeks Wacky Wednesday I made 2 top note cards. The great part is...you can even use the scrap created by the big shot as a frame like I did for the inside of the red card.

First Open House Projects

These are the 3 cards I did for my make and takes at my first open house a couple of weeks ago. I tried to pick a little of everything so that they could play with some tools and have fun with ribbons and punches. It went really well and everyone was very creative. We had a great time!

BAG-O-HAPPY

I made these to demonstrate the possiblities with one stamp set and one pack of DSP. Using the Happy Everything set and the Bella Rose PaperPack, I made 5 cards (1 for most any occasion) and a cute little purse/bag to put them in. It was a very easy project and took less than an hour to complete. I think it would be easy even for beginners. I just wanted to show that it doesnt take much to create something beautiful and from the heart.

Happy Humpday! This was for my wacky wednesday challenge with the glitterchicks. It is the raspberry tart dp which I was not fond of when I first saw it but I absolutely adore now. I used the Great Friends stamp set from the Occasionals Mini. It was a very easy card to make using circle punches. The hardest part is getting your circles lined up just right so that it doesnt look too crazy. I wound up with a lot of extras. Hope you all enjoy!

FOR YOU

Happy Thursday! Yeah, a second post! I think I could find a use for the Branch Out set with anything. For this I used the tree and the stamp set Seeing Spots. The saying is from the occasionals mini. It was a quick and easy card to create, except for the stitching but I am just getting used to that. I am sure that it will become easier with time. I just wanted to create a card in honor of earth day.

NEGATIVE IMAGES

FINALLY!!!!! I have only had this blog for a month now and have yet to post anything. What can I say? I am a perfectionist, but with a lot of help and guidance from my Stampin' Up! mentor, Lisa Freeman, I have worked out most of the bugs in my creativity. I absolutely love the negative image cards and black and white with bursts of color. So I decided to combine the two. I am definately a dimension and texture addict so I absolutely love this butterfly from the new Occasions Mini. It is very easy to cut out and looks beautiful in any color. The bird was a little bit harder but so worth it. It is such a whimsical image.
