crabby santa thank you

This is my Christmas thank you card. I love the dashing designer series paper. It is a shame it is being retired. Oh well out with the old and in with the new. There are a lot of cool paper in the new catalog. I colored in the crab with my aqua painter and watercolor crayons. The paper is 4/14 x 11 and folded at 51/2 and I scored it at 6 on one side. I attached to medium eyelets so it opens from the side. The fold is a little different I like it. I am going to try to post more often. It has been a busy two months. Thanks for looking and a Happy New Year!

Time well spent

This stamp set is a level 3 hostess set in the new catalog. I painted the vellum with watercolor crayons after I stamped the vellum with stazion.

Bag envelope with Pomegranate ribbon

Here is a cute bag I made out of an extra large SU! envelope. The way you make it is seal the envelope. Take a tag punch and punch down the side of the envelope till the handle and the bottom is the size you want it. That is it. It is pretty simple. The ribbon around the top is the Purely Pomegranate Satin ribbon. It feels so soft. I just love it. The stamp set is Punch Pals. I have a bag of Cocoa but you can barely see it. Let me know what you think.

Christmas Double Pocket card

This is my first double pocket card. This is the Dashing Desinger Series paper. I used the Real Red and Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon, with the Jumbo Antique Brass eyelets. They are perfect for threading the ribbon through. If you look at the bottom of the card there is a rhinestone brad.
I stamped this card with a set from the Mini catalog called Love & Joy. This set is great because you can use your 3/4th inch circle punch to punch out the words for the center of Joy. I used a Stampin' Dimensional to make the merry stand out. I also stamped the tags with Many Merry Messages. Let me know what you think.

Candy Time

This was a candy bar slide I made for a swap. It is really easy to make, and very yummy to eat!

I used the Desinger series paper Creepy Crawly . I cut the words off the paper and inked the edges (a project is not finished till the edges are inked!) I framed the with more Creepy Crawly paper. The cat stamp is one of the hostess stamp sets called Party Punch.

Cupcakes Card

Here is another card made with the Simply Sent card kit. I colored in the cupcakes with chalk which comes in the kit. This was a very simple card to make.

Altered Simply Sent Card

I am loving this Simply Sent card set. I was playing with it to see what other cards can be made with this. This is one of them. The colors are Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue and Cameo Coral. Friendship shapes it the stamp set. The tag comes out. I inked all the edges. I stamped the Bashful Blue with the circle stamp and punched it out with the scallop circle then cut down to the second ring. I stamped the stamp again with Cameo Coral and cut out the flower and attached it with a Stampin' dimensional. Let me know what you think.
