I saw this card on Dawn Griffith’s blog, and did my own masculine spin on it… I really have to force myself to make masculine cards! I got the Well Worn DSP expressly for the purpose of being inspired to make more masculine cards though. I liked how the fleur de lis in the paper matched the stamp in Extreme Elements too!
Stamps: Extreme Elements, On Your Birthday
Paper: Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla, Well Worn DSP

Father’s day isn’t for months, but I did want to make a card for my dad and I thought that might be the next occasion 🙂 So I made this and will save it for June. I used the spotlighting technique for the first time! I think I should have probably used circle punches that were closer in size but its alright.

A day early, but at least I can show you something you can make real quick for St. Patty’s!
I got this idea from Ericka… it was a proper CASE and I changed it up a bit… this was acheived with the smallest framelits heart (x3) and the 2nd smallest framelits designer label.

Mixed bunch and its matching blossom punch are so great! I saw this idea on pinterest, and I believe the original artis is Erica (pink buckaroo). I loved the layering of the heart, butterfly and flower!

I made these cute favor boxes and cards for some of my good friends as a special treat since we were having a slumber party 🙂 I haven’t been to one of those in ages! I thought the quilt was a good theme for that. I completely forgot to fill the boxes with candy as originally planned though, so I guess it was a diet treat? 😀

This is the 3rd project we’ll make at the stamp camp on March 17. Its a Fancy favor bag filled with wrapped nuggets. I thought it would be a great thank you or little birthday gift.

This was my first experiment for my fresh vintage box project. I like the look of it, but it was just a bit too tiny 🙂 The envelope will fit a 2×2 card and the envelope fits inside the box. It really is “bitty”! It would make a cute valentine since a Ghirardelli square would probably fit nicely inside…
Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Big Shot, Bitty Box Bigz XL die, Postage punch
I had a few experiments with boxes for my project at this month’s stamp camp, and this is the one I think I’ve settled on. I got the idea from a project we did at my demonstrator group’s meeting last year. It is a box created with the Bigz XL Box #2 die. Fold the small flaps in and leave the top flap unfolded and open. It fits and displays love notes that coordinate with the box.
Stamps: Fresh Fintage (SAB) and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Accessories: Big Shot, Box # 2 Bigz XL die, 1-1/4″ square punch, postage punch, wide oval punch, stamp-a-ma-jig, oval designer frames embossing folder.
Celebrate Sale-a-bration! This FREE stamp set is so cute! I made this semi-patriotic card that could be used for so many occasions, but my aim was a masculine birthday.
Stamps: Outlined Occasions
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Well Worn DSP
Ink: Ridinghood Red, Basic Black, Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Label framelits, Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Big Shot
In my big shot class last month, I thought it would be a good matchup to use the Elementary Elegance Sale-a-bration set (one of my favorites this year) and the movers and shapers die that comes with the curly label shape. Because I have this set in clearmount it was easy to line up the stamp with the window. And we used the curly label punch for the greeting, a perfect fit. I also really liked the doily cut-out butterfly in the Occasions mini, so I did my own spin on it to match up with this card. Love the color combination.
Stamps: Elementary Elegance
Paper: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Cheerful Treat DSP
