Smile

Here is my fourth and last card from the June Simon Says Stamp card kit.

To the kit items I added the Super Geo Tag die cut and a sentiment from the Happy Every Day stamp set.

Another Birthday

My third card from the June SSS card kit:

I added the Birthday circle sentiment die, the Sizzix Large Polka Dots embossing folder and a stitched banner from Pretty Pink Posh. I really love this combination of green and gold. The gold embellies are wood veneer pieces heat embossed with gold EP.

I am also entering this to CSSC#7. I took a liberty or two, but its there.

Happy Birthday Shaker

What do you do with your newly purchased crafty items?  I put mine in a bin. There they await being added to my inventory spreadsheet, given a new home in a labeled plastic sleeve, and to be used to make cards.

My bin is getting crowded, so I am going to tackle it in earnest this month.

First up, Simon Says Stamp's Present Shaker. I put the shaker together, and used some lavender fun foam for the bow and the sides.  I colored the cross pieces to match the bow. The shaker bits are a combination of micro beads, white seed beads, and Martha Stewart's hearts and stars confetti glitter.

Thanks for stopping by!

PS. Here is a picture of the bin, I also have a couple of SSS card kits that need to be played with!

Background Check Two

The last two lessons and design day have now passed. I always have a bit o melancholy when an online card class ends.

I enjoyed the new format on this one. Two days to make backgrounds trying out various techniques then a day to turn them into cards.

Two parts in one class.  I tried several of the techniques, but make only 4 cards.  Again these are mini cards for me to keep with my lessons.

It was a fun class, I'll definitely think more about my backgrounds when composing cards.

July Card Chain Challenge

I was in such a hurry to make my card to ship it off to Jo in England, that I used the colors for the August challenge by mistake. Fortunately, my card can slide into the category of Friendship.  Upside, I love the colors of mustard, coral and gray...so I get to use them again this month!

Thanks for stopping  by!
