Holiday card Caddy!

This caddy goes with the card class!!

Baby Girl Card Caddy and Romper Cards

OHHH I had fun this afternoon after Rick went home. Down to the basement to make four more cards for Kelly and a nicer caddy. Using pattern paper for the scallop trim on the romper was a good choice. I am really in a groove with the colour palette at the moment.

I used Blush, and Taffy for the light orange along with pale grey and green. Stamps are from Close to my Heart: Be True : Girl , stitched flowers, and June Stamp of the Month : With Love : small flowers and hearts on romper. The ribbon handle is Close to my Heart.

Card Caddy

This card caddy folds open like a book with pockets to hold 6-8 cards and envelopes . I made up gift tags too.

I whipped it up in a snap with very little difficulty. To enlarge the image of the template, click on the photo. The template is taken with permission from Aaron Brown

I was able to use some scraps and stickease that were beautiful but otherwise going unused from my Floral Tapestry collection.

Another gift ... for someone lucky!

Baby Themed Note Cards

Well.... we hear that my step-daughter Kelly is expecting a baby girl in November!!
This will be the first grandchild for my ex and both my teens become aunts and uncles for the first time.

So.....I am busy making baby themed note cards.

I used July Stamp of the Month : Life's a Jungle (Close to my Heart) and just coloured in the images lightly with a waterbrush dipped in some ink from the lid on the ink pad.

At first I didnt like this stamp set.. cute is not me anymore. But these images grow on you... and they are PERFECT for baby themed note cards.

Had fun with the ribbon corners, waxy flax tied buttons and a little Stickles glitter.

I plan to make 4 pink hippos and 4 purple monkey cards to go with the 4 blue lions and give them to Kelly next week for her birthday.

Boom - di - Ada!

The Boom- Di - Ada purse/card caddy! Random stamped with Goldrush and Hollyhock florals from With Love (CTMH June stamp of the month)

anything is possible.... the power is already within you.

Do I LOVE that squiggly floral stitching???? ---CHYA!

Isn't it delectable?!

We made the 2 bottom cards at Barb F.'s party today for her daughter Kelley who was celebrating a birthday!

I couldnt be happier with this colour combo... buttercup, garden green, goldrush, hollyhock, cocoa. I could play with this June set endlessly... so many stems, swirls, leaves, flowers.

The boom-di-ada paper features florals and "ric-rac" stripes. For those of you who can remember that ric-rac ribbon Mom used on your hand-made outfits in the 60's, this paper pack will give you a sense of happy nostalgia.

The easiest purse I ever made

This has to be the easiest gift bag/purse that I ever made.

It is a simple box shape.

The purse uses a full 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of CS.

The folds at the side are 1 1/4 inches in with a small notch cut on the fold lines, and the bottom is 2 inches wide , so you score 4 1/2 inches in from top and bottom. The center paper is 3 x 4 1/2 .

That's it!

I will be using it to hold Serenity cards.

Some pretty embellies went onto it.

I used a metallic gold cardstock AND a special rhinestone floral brad that I had been "hoarding" in my supplies. Julia H. gave me the large white flowers a while back.

Time to use everything good!!
