Nothing but fun and a little Creativity...: May 2012

Champagne Skirts

My first time making "Champagne Skirts." The customer wanted zebra print and hot pink, so I came up with the idea of making hair clips using all kinds of ribbons with hot pink, black, and a little bit of green for flare. I landed up making 200 of these. A LOT of FUN!

Crafty Box Lid

I had a empty box with no lid, so I made a lid for the box and decorated it with hoilday apparel. The flowers are from a SU punch and the snowflakes are a Martha Stewart punch I got at Joann's.

Exploding Box

I learned this from a friend at one of our stamp camps. The exploding box technique. I landed up developing my christimas pictures in wallet size and gluing them to each side. Beautiful effect for the holidays and a safe for pictures.

Birthday Cards

Some Birthday Cards I did with the "Scraps" of designer series paper and a little creativity.

The cupcake stamp I used was from the retired stamp set "Crazy for Cupcakes" from SU.

I used my favorite retired stamp set from SU, "A Rose is a Rose," requires double stamping and the set is wonderfully designed. I used the new SU "Vintage Wallpaper" emboss folder for the whisper white paper design.

The SU bird punch, again, being used. I stamped "Happy Birthday" with Craft White right onto the brown ribbon.

My inventive way of using the round scallop punch to create a big ice cream cone. You layer it from the bottom and work your way up like a pyramid.

Vintage Bird Card

The Red Bird card is also a gift card holder. The card slips between the printed paper and the black crad stock. The bird and leaves are a SU punch. The antique brads are also SU. I refuse to buy paper that has this type of printing on it, soooooooo I used words from my favorite books, inserted white card stock into my printer, and viola!....my very own printed paper with inscription! ;)

Envelope Slip Cards

This card was made out of a single 12 x 12 paper without cutting any of it. The designer series paper is from Stampin Up (SU) Razzleberry Lemonade. and the stamps used are a combination of the old SU stamps. Colors used are Melon Mambo and Elegant Eggplant.
