Note cards gallore

For an incentive at my SU party next week, I made these little note cards for the guest that spend $40.00 or more. They will get 5 cards, 5 envelopes in a clear bag with a 12 inch SU ribbon tied around it.

Note card with 3D scallop flower

This little note card will be my make and take at my SU demo next week. Materials are SU long scallop note cards, versa mark and a SU stamp, SU real red ink, SU pattern paper and a misc. brad., SU real red ribbon

Stampin Up scallop punch 3-D flower

First punch out four scallop circles. (Stampin Up used here) then fold three of the circles in half

cut the three fold circles in half, you should have six half's of a scallop circle

take all six half's and roll them into cones the same size. Then with the seam in the middle press flat.

The use the fourth scalloped circle to place your flat cones on. I used red to it easier for you to see. Glue you cones seam down. Place a medium size brad in the middle. Use something with a rounded end, (I used my poker) to open up your cones.

Voila!!! Hope this tutorial was helpful.

My Out of the Box challenge

I made this card with a stamped image that was raked to me from a two peas friend. The background stamped image was the one for the challenge. I is a really cool stamp. So many possibilities. I coloured the image with my pure colour pencils from SU and them used paper pencil stubs dipped in odourless mineral spirits and rubbed over the colouring. It gives a nice soft blended effect. This was my first try at this technique, hope to practice this more often.

More Christmas cards (part 3)

This card is stamped with the new hostess stamp from the fall/winter catalogue that will be coming out on Aug.11th 2008. I'm very excited to see all the other new items that will be in it.

Love the non traditional colours in this card, the snowflake stamps are also Stampin Up. This was a lift from my card magazine. This is other snowman stamp from Stampin Up, using up more of my scrap for this card. I also did some sewing machine stitching on this card This card is made with snowman pattern paper that I just punch out with my circle punch. Stamped on SU snowflakes on the background card stock This Christmas tree was cut from my cricut and I added red strips with bling, the stitching is done with my white gel pen. This was a lift from my card magazine.

Hope you enjoyed these cards.

More Christmas cards (part 2)

This summer has been flying by soooooo fast. I've barely had time to breath. The kids are ready to go back to school and they still have four more week of summer holidays. OMG I don't think I'll survive them. They are so cranky and can't get along but that should change soon because we leave in two day for four days of camping , tenting it style. The kids have never camped this way before so they are super excited. Only if they new the joys of tenting. LOL Forecast said only one day of rain so far, let's keep those fingers crossed that it stays that way.Let's get back to cards. Still struggling to get those cards finished. Going to share a few more I did last week and on the weekend. I really hope you like them and please feel free to comment on the ones you like, I love feedback, positive or constructive. All the cards below expect the third card(polar bear) were made with rubbons found at the buck or two. The polar bear card was cut from my cricut (joy of the season) and I used my swirls cuttle bug embossing folder. Most of the patter papers I used were scraps that I had in my stash. I love to use up my stash. Get more for your buck!! I hope you like them.
