A CUTE Snowflake card I made when stamping with friends!

HI!

Here is a photo of my dear demonstrator friend LeeAnn Greff & myself working on our shoe box swaps one night when we got together at convention.
We had a GREAT TIME visiting, stamping & enjoying each others company. 

I so treasure all of my stampin' friends & customers!  

I wanted to share the beautiful card that LeeAnn created for her shoe box swap this night.
She brought her sample card & all of the supplies & I made this card below.

Builder wheels:  'Snowflake Party', 'Good Cheer' & 'Linked Lace'
cs:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Bashful Blue & Whisper White
ink refills:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler & Bashful Blue
supplies:  Jumbo wheel handle, Wheel Spindle & Spacer, Uninked Triple Cell ink cartridge, Big Shot, Snow Flurry die, Tasteful Trim BigzXL die, (for the scallop edge), Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, 2 1/2" circle punch, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, dimensionals, glue dots

Yesterday we attended the services of my great-aunt Edith.
 And then last night we races in Columbus Junction.
It was just Deke, Nathan, Brayden & myself that went together in the truck/trailer.
Nathan won his heat & got 3rd in main.
He looked good.
Tonight the guys are racing someplace- but I will be staying home to work on stamp stuff.
Assume Brayden will be staying home with grandma.

I have been busy creating........and have some cute cards to share at my Stampin' Party tomorrow!
Busy day- still LOTS to do......gotta run.

Have a great weekend!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

Pretty Doily card......

Happy Friday!!

We all had a FUN night stampin' last night.  

Glad everyone could join me!

Here is one of the cards we made.

Check out the fold.......something fun & new.

 I really like it!!

Notice the Doily die, Faucet buttons, butterfly punch....

'Lacy & Lovely' & 'Papillion Potpourri'

cs:  More Mustard, Early Espresso, Rose Red

First Edition Specialty Designer Paper

Candlelight Christmas Designer Paper

ink:  Versamark & Early Espresso

supplies:  Big Shot, Delicate Dolies Sizzlit, Basic Pearls, Vintage Faceted Designer button, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 1 1/4" scallop circle punch, Elegant Butterfly punch, Itty Bitty Shapes pack, dimensionals, glue dots, paper snips

See how this opens up!

You can't tell by the picture, 

but the Rose Red flower pieces are done using the technique- faux suede.

You punch out the image, then stress the card stock by crumpling it all up, 

smooth it back out & break down the paper fibers.

Then separate it into 2 pieces.

The inside of the card stock looks & feels like suede.

My Great-Aunt Edith White passed away.

Her services are this morning.

Sure have fond memories of her.

She LOVED RED!

She was a very classy lady.

Brayden is here all day today......not sure if he is going with me to the services or what.

Need to jump in the shower & get ready.

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

Tonight I have a big group of ladies coming to stamp with me at my home.  

They will get to make this card!

AND on Sunday I have a big group of ladies coming to stamp with me 

in Hiawatha & they will get to make this card too!

I can't wait to share!!

 

Here is a close up of the flowers!

 Look at this.......

Can you tell how this card opens up?

I cut the Old Olive card stock for the base of the card at 4 1/4" x 11".

I scored it at 2" & 7 1/2" with my Simply Scored Scoring Tool & fold it on the scored marks.

Then I made a pull up tab that has the jar & flowers on it.

These attached pieces measure-

*Whisper White- 2 3/4" x 4"

*Rich Razzleberry- 3" x 4 1/4"

*Old Olive- 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"

These pieces are only attached to the top 2" of the card- leaving approximately a 1/2" border all around the card front (on all 4 sides) when it is closed.

AND don't forget that I stamped the Jar itself onto a 2"x 3"window sheet piece,

 using the Black Stazon pad & then cut it out with the coordinating framelit!

Ok- I'd better run......be sure to check back tomorrow for another cute card.

I have LOTS to do today......as my Stamp Studio is a total disaster!

I have to get it all cleaned up for everyone to come stamp with me tonight!

I'm off to do that as soon as I get my cup of coffee.

I should take a before & after photo- as I'm a messy stamper & have things laying 

all over my tables from creating & need to get it all put back where it belongs.

Wish me luck that I get it all done in time before my stampin' party!

Have a great day!

Happy stamping!
ENJOY!
