Hexagon Thank you cards

Good mornin' Peeps!

Today I have a couple of Thank you cards I made, I hope you like them. I'm currently working on some tags for candy treat bags for Braelynn's 1st birthday! Yep, she's a year old next week....I can't believe it!!! Time sure does fly by fast! I will have some great news that I will be able to share with you next month!

As always thank you so much for dropping by & have a great day!

I used PTI Happy Hexagons Mini Stamp Set, I also used the Cover Plate: Hexagon Die to stamp the hexagons & keep them in a straight line,  You can click HERE to see & get Nicole's color planner & her tutorial on this plate, I used various inks & scored 2 lines on top & bottom of hexagons to define that area. Stamped my Thank you & added some crystals.

Inside I used a little stamp that came with the PTI set & some Washi tape.

SU Honeycomb embossing folder, SU decorative label punch, Creative Memories hexagon punch (retired), SU stamps & various DSP.

My Paper Pumpkin - June kit

Good morning Peeps!

Boy, has it been hot, hot, hot, not just here but all across the country. I sure hope that you are all staying cool! It's supposed to get a little cooler here this week...around the 80's & not so humid. I know I haven't been posting lately but I've been busy & just started a yoga class. Had my 2nd class this past week & I'm not sure yet if I really like it but time will tell.

Today's cards are from the June SU MY Paper Pumpkin kit, I have their version & then I have my version using some PTI hexagon stamps. I also inked the zig zag stamp that came with the kit in red & then kissed the heart stamp to that to make some zig zag hearts & then added some twine & popped up 3 hexagons on the front. Hope you like it!

Stay cool everyone!

Goodbye tension...Hello pension!!!

Good mornin' peeps!

Well today's project was something Dan asked me to make for his boss's retirement party, so I sat at my desk & thought of what she might like & came up with a box of all occasion cards. I remembered that Deanna had a box on her blog that I liked & the size she made is perfect for A2 size cards. Once I found it again I went upstairs to work & made the box first, then a few days later made the top of the box along with the 2 sympathy cards to match the box. After that I set out to make a few more cards along with some cards that I had in my stash. Then I made her retirement card, I've made this card before & love this image & card design...it's my go to design for retirement cards (unless it's for a male, then I will have to come up with a different image & I have a few in mind, hahaha!!!) Dan told me that she loved it! That made me a happy crafter! Don't you love it when people appreciate your work?

Thanks for joining me today, you know how much I love your company! Have a great day!

This box fit 10 cards. This box was created by my good friend Deanna, click HERE for her tutorial...she's amazing! Thanks Deanna!

I made 2 sympathy cards to match the box.

I put 10 cards & envelopes in the box - a mixed set of birthday, wedding, sympathy, baby, get well, etc.

Red, White & Blue Gift

Good mornin' Peeps!

I'm back...so sorry that it's been awhile but I lost my mojo for awhile but I had a few must do projects so my mojo came back. 

Here is a project I did for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  I never know what to  get her but I know they have a BBQ & pool party for their neighbors....sooooooo I thought this would be a great idea to add to her table.  What do you think?  She liked it & so that made me happy!!!

Thank you so much for joining me & I hope you liked what you saw here today!  Stay cool & have a great day!

Birthday card for Sarah - I used SU Honeycomb embossing folder, punched out paper hexagons with Creative Memories small hexagon punch (retired), cut out stars using spellbinders star nesties, used SU word punch & modern label punch for my sentiment & added rhinestones to stars & dimensionals for star & sentiment

Fold a pocket in the napkins & place utensils inside & decorate

Makes a great hostess gift - but give it before the 4th of July so they can use it.

Mr. Fix it...Father's Day Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

We babysat Braelynn ALL day Saturday & we had a fantastic time with her...she's such a happy baby, always smiling! She's such a joy to be with, we LOVE her sooooo much. I have a few pics of her at the end of this post that I took that day.

Today I have a Father's day card for you that I cased after seeing this card on Amy's Prairie Paper Ink Blog awhile ago. The image is a Mo Manning digital image called "Mr. Fixit" & it's perfect for a masculine card. I LOVE her images...go on over & take a look at her wonderful images by clicking HERE. I had so much fun making this card using MFT tools die & I just love how it turned out. I made this same card in January for my son's birthday & he loved it! Hope you like it!

Well that's it for today. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & visiting me...it's always a pleasure to see & hear from you.

Twirly-Whirly Pinwheel Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

How are you? Hope you had a great day yesterday! Dan & I sure did! It was our 41st wedding anniversary yesterday & when Dan got out of work we went to Newport to one of our favorite places to eat, The Atlantic Beach Club (ABC for short) right by the water (Atlantic ocean) & had our fisherman platter....yummmmmm, so darn good!!! Their filet mignon is fabulous too, but we opted for the seafood this time. Did a little shopping on Thames Street in downtown Newport & then headed to Hi-Li to play a few slots before heading home. Great date night with my hubby!

Okay enough of that, now onto my cards. Today's card is an interactive one....OMGosh, I love it!!! It's too darn cute!!! I bought the pinwheel sizzlet & pinwheel stamp set from Stampin' Up just so I could make this card & let me tell you, it was the BEST decision I ever made. It looks so much better in person, it twirls from side to side....so much fun!!! I made a few in different colors. I had Ree over that day, (hi Ree!)  she wanted to make a wedding card with some of the digital stamps I had & when she saw it...she loved it too, so I gave her one. Thanks Ree for hanging out with me that day.

Well that's it for today, I hope you have a fabulous day! Stay cool because it's going to be hot, hot, hot the next few days. Finally, so I'm not complaining. Oh yeah, we get to babysit Braelynn ALL day Saturday & we can't wait!!!

PS, added on June 5, 2013:  You can find the tutorial by clicking HERE

Seahorse Birthday card

Good mornin' Peeps!

First of all I would like to give all those affected by the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma my love & prayers, you are in my thoughts at this most difficult time...my heart goes out to you all.

Today's card has a nautical theme with a cute Seahorse on it. I LOVE Seahorse's, don't you? They are so stinkin' cute! I just LOVE how this card turned out!!! I saw this card on Lisa Young's blog & fell in love with it! The stamp set is by SU "By the Tide" & used the water blotches from SU "French Foliage" to look like bubbles. Embossed the background layer with the SU cloud embossing folder. I think I'll make a Father's day card like this one too! Well let me go back upstairs & make that one right now. I'm also working on something that Dan wanted me to make for him but I can't show it till July.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & visiting me today, I sure do appreciate it!

Baby Gift & Card Idea

Good morning Peeps!

I’m back with another project & card that I created for a friend. She's expecting a baby at the end of the month (it's a boy) & I wanted to make her something that I thought she would love & also give her a baby outfit to go along with this gift. She loved it!!! Score one for me, hahaha!!!

This cute idea was easy & so much fun to create. I love making things for people who appreciate hand made gifts...don't you?

Thanks for dropping by & have a great day...it's going to be a gorgeous one here, around 80 degrees today! Time to open some windows!


Altered this box that I saved from one of my favorite hotels in Vegas, it came with a sewing kit, shower cap, etc., they left one in the room everyday & everyday I would stash it in my suitcase, so I ended up with 3 boxes that I use for this cute baby gift idea. Wouldn't you know it...they no longer put these out. I guess they have to change it up so guests don't get bored, hahaha!!!

Box with closet hangers to organize all those different size clothes & when your done store them away in this cute little box!

Onesie card to go along with her gift
