16 All Occasion Cards

I just finished making the samples for this class.  I always enjoy the All Occasion Card Classes, it lets me get out of my box a little and I can pick themes for the cards.  This time we will be making a Baby Card, Graduation Card, Sympathy Card, and a Card that can be used as a Wedding or Anniversary Card.  The colors are different and well I think they are fun cards that anyone would enjoy making and adding to their card collection.  Of course I think that you will enjoy sending them out to family and friends as well.  Well here they are:  (remember cards are subject to change due to supplies)

This card is our graduation card.  We will be using the following cardstock: Cranberry, Sunny Yellow, Black and White Daisy.  Pattern paper is from a discontinued set Magic (I believe).  Stamp sets used are C1408 Live Inspired, C1351 You Did It, and C1228 Class Of (this one is discontinued).  Inks used are Archival Black, and Cranberry.  We also used 3 star brads (not ctmh), a star punch, dmc floss black, and graduation hat from Cricut.

This Card can be used for a wedding, or anniversary.  This card uses the following cardstock: Blush,and Colonial Wht.  Pattern paper is from the paper packet level 2 That's Amore (discontinued).  We will be using Chocolate distressing ink, tulip ink.  We will also be embellishing with cream pearls from the Mocha Opaques adhesive Gems.  Also will be using a Fiskar border punch.  Stamp set used is D1254 Soul Mates.

This card was made using pattern paper from Topstitch Level 2 paper kit (discontinued), and Colonial Wht Cardstock.  Stamp sets used are B1368 Baby Love, Large Alphabet, D1469 Polka Dot Alphabet (new available Feb 1), and C1359 Sweet Baby (also new available Feb 1).  Inks used are Heavenly Blue, Baby Pink, and Chocolate.  Embellishments are safety pins and ribbon - source Creative Images online.

Pattern paper is from the Wings Level 2 packet.  Stamp Set is the January Stamp of the Month D1452 Find Your Style (very neat set) and D1476 Card Chatter - Sympathy (also a new set available February 1st).  I used the cuttlebug to emboss the Juniper paper and the flower is sponged with Juniper ink and then the Black Button Brad was used.  We are also using the new Spray Pen from CTMH that will be available February 1st.

The New Addition to our Family

My daughter got a little Morkie Puppy from Santa this Christmas.  She named it Sugar Cookie but we just call it Sugar.  She is adorable and totally in love with my little Girl as is my litle girl with her.

Smore Kits

Here are two Smore Kits that I made for Christmas Gift - one for my daughters teacher and the other for a friend of ours.  They were a lot of fun.

WOW!! 2011 Here We Are

I was so excited over the Holidays - I created some new items that were gifs for people so I couldn't post them.  Now I am excited because I can post them out here for you all to see.  I created these white boards for my daughter, niece, and some good friends of mines daughters.  They are made from a picture frame.  I bought the size picture frame I wanted - then decorated the piece of paper that comes in the frame like a scrapbook and then put it back together and attached a expo white board marker.  It was fun because I got to personalize them for each person and they can add pictures to them as well - just like a scrapbook.

Here they are:

  

Also we made these really cute ornaments for the people in Charese's 4-H group.  They are so cute and were fun to make.

These were some glass items I made for my sister and brothers.

Here is a duck that I painted for some other brothers and friends:

Last but not least here are some gift bags I made up to put gifts in:
