I hope you are having a good weekend so far! Today I have a little holder for gum. I have friends that don’t always like to receive candy and gum is always a good replacement for something chocolate. Well, actually, for me, gum is NEVER a replacement for chocolate but it can be for others! I tried putting some little fun sized bags of chocolate inside but they didn’t really fit but I am sure there’s something else that will fit comfortably inside. I used the Watercolor Wonder DSP which I really think is turning out to be my favorite paper in the Occasions catalog!
If you would like to see a picture tutorial for this little holder, email or leave a comment and I will work on it!
Have a great Sunday!

There are so many possibilities with washi tape! Several days ago I posted a card with a butterfly that I made out of washi tape. On this card I attached the tape directly to my Whisper White cardstock. So easy! My greeting is from the set Lots of Thanks and stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. I punched it out with my 1 3/8″ circle punch and adhered it to a 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle. with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using my Stampin’ Pierce Mat and Paper-Piercing tool I pierced each scallop.

Lots of Thanks

Happy Monday! Here’s an easy card that you can make using the Oval Framelits!
Use your Big Shot and cut out an oval using the Ovals Collection Framelits (#129381) on the front of your card. Then emboss just the front with the Fancy Fan embossing folder (#127751). You want to be sure to emboss last so that you don’t flatten the embossing. Next, use that same size Framelit and cut out an oval out of a sheet from the Watercolor Wonder DSP (#132994). Using the next smaller size, center it on the oval you just made and you will have created an outer frame that you can glue to the front of your card! You’ll also have an extra oval that you can save for another card – perhaps use it as an Easter egg!
My greeting (from the set Sassy Salutations) was punched out using the Decorative Label punch. I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the greeting so that it would “pop” up.
If you have any questions, please let me know!!

Happy Saturday!! I hope you have some fun plans today! My card today sure makes me feel as though spring is just around the corner. I used the Retro Fresh This and That Designer Washi Tape to create my colorful butterfly. I laid the tape down on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and then placed it on top of the larger butterfly using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.
I made several butterflies and each one is different and unique.
My inspiration for this card came from the site My Stamping Best Friend!

Today I have a card for you that uses the Petite Petal and Flower Shop stamp sets again. The hardest part of this card was deciding which colors to use! I went with Island Indigo and Pool Party, two beautiful shades of blue. My greeting is from the set Sassy Salutations. I popped up my flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals which always gives a nice effect.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Today I have one of the cards I made yesterday and it was inspired by a card made by my upline, Dawn Griffith. It’s a fun card because it opens up differently than you would expect. I used two different stamp sets for my Tangerine Tango flowers – Flower Shop (wood #130939 clear#130942) and Petite Petals (wood#133152 clear#133155). My sentiment is from the set A Dozen Thoughts (wood#131056 clear#131059). The pretty paper on the front as well as inside the card is the Retro Fresh DSP. I popped each flower up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a pretty rhinestone in the center!

This card was so much fun to make! The stamp set used to make the banners and the banner punch can each be yours, FREE. With each $50 purchase you make, you can choose one item in the Sale-a-bration catalog absolutely FREE. With a $100 purchase, both of these products can be yours. The punch will also be available in the 2014-2015 annual catalog but you can receive it free until March 31st!
Yesterday I bought a beach towel that has the most gorgeous shades of blues and greens. I kept looking at it and thought, I should make a card with those colors! I wanted to throw some Tempting Turquoise into the mix but decided to stick with Pacific Point and Gumball Green. I wrapped some Linen Thread around my Whisper White paper and then adhered my banners to it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I embossed just the upper half of my card with the Decorative Dots folder (also FREE during Sale-a-bration) and stamped my greeting with the stamp set Sassy Salutations (wood #132070 clear#126707).

Isn’t it scary when something is wrong with your computer? What the heck did we do without them? I’m happy to say that my computer problems have been solved by the nice man at the Apple store!
Here is the card I made a few days ago but couldn’t post until now. My inspiration came from Ronda Wade. I modified it just a bit and turned it into a gift card holder. 
I made my card using paper from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that you can get free with a $50 order! You can make three holders with just one sheet of paper. Here are the measurements:
DSP: 4 x 12 Score at 1- 3/4″ & 7- 1/8″ Use sticky strip to seal up the edges
Front flap: Basic Gray: 4-1/4″ x 2- 3/4″ Whisper White: 4″ x 2- 1/2″
Piece inside for gift card (I adhered the gift card with glue dots): 3-1/4″ x 5-1/8″ I used my Small Oval Punch to make it easier to get the gift card out.
My sentiment comes from the set Simply Celebrate. I love the font that is used to write Enjoy.

Happy Monday! Here’s a way to brighten someone’s Monday morning! Make them a sweet bag, like this one, and fill it up with some goodies. That would put a smile on anyone’s face, even on a Monday! My bag was made using the Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sorbet. This paper can be yours FREE (until March 31, 2014) with a $50 order!
My sentiment is from the set Yippee-Skippee (Wood 131341 Clear 131344) and I cut it out with one of the shapes in the Starburst Framelits dies from the Occasions Catalog (132967).
I tied it up with our Ruffle Stretch Trim in Crisp Cantaloupe (130021) and Whisper White Baker’s Twine (124262). My thanks go to Angie Juda for this cute idea!
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by today!
