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.

Happy stamping peeps!

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!

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

Favors - Red & white striped candy mints inside for after the BBQ meal

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

Happy stampin' peeps!

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!

This is a blank card. I decided I need to make some blank cards for my stash & add the sentiments to the front & the inside when I need a certain card. It's easy enough to do when your pressed for time.

Happy stamping everyone!

Thanksgiving Favors

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing the favors I made for Thanksgiving, I have to keep up the tradition because everyone loves to get whatever surprise I put inside (they also like having a place card or something with their names on them as well)...some sweet yummy for their tummies, hahaha!!!

Come back tomorrow for a little touch of Hawaii! Wish I was still there, where it's nice & warm instead of this bitter cold. It's warming up for the next few days here, supposed to be in the 40's & low 50's...that is so much better than the teens. Have a great day!

Happy stamping!

Date Night Gift Cards

Good mornin' Peeps!

Today I am sharing the Date Night gift card holders that I made for both Jessica & I to give to Marc & Sarah. Jessica told me that she wanted to do a dinner & a movie gift & I knew exactly what I wanted to do so I ordered the MFT At the Movies stamp & die set & got to work trying to figure out how I was going to make my vision in my head work when it hit me finally. I made it in two steps...I made the cards seperately (I made two 5 X 7 cards) then I adhered the backs together to make one card. I love it!!!

Well I hope you enjoy todays post, I will have another gift that I made for my kids tomorrow so come back & visit me. Have a good day & thanks for dropping by & visiting!

This image is an InStyle Anime stamp. Don't know if this company is still around or if they still sell Anime stamps, sorry.

This is the front of the card that I made for Jessica to give to Mark & Sarah.

First part of card has a gift card holder in the pocket with the chef on it & the other pocket holds a babysitting certificate. See 2 pictures below.

My good friend Sandi's husband Phil made this certificate for me...without him I could never have pulled this off the way I wanted it to look because I am not good at computer things like this. I emailed Sandi & asked if Phil could make something like what I wanted, one for me & one for Jessica & he came through with flying colors as always. I can really count on him whenever I need his help. Thanks again Phil, I appreciate it more than you know. Marc & Sarah loved it & said that it was an endless certificate & both Jessica & I agreed of course!

Jessica's card was a two part card, one side to dine out, flip to next page & you have the movie part. I put two cards together to make it as one. I love how it turned out!

The Wedding Invitation

Good mornin’ Peeps!

This is a scheduled post that I wrote & set up before I left home, so the wedding was yesterday & now I can share pictures of the invitations & thank you cards I made for Kim & Jack. Then I will be sharing all the other sample invitations that got rejected. I made quite a few samples for them to pick from & told them that if they like something on one card & something from another then we could incorporate those elements into their invitations & make it work & that’s exactly what they did & they came out beautiful if I do say so myself!!! I totally enjoyed making these for them.

I got my inspiration for this card design from my good friend Corinne (thanks so much Corinne for always inspiring me) with this card & this card .

Here they are…I hope you like them.

Baby Box Surprise

Good mornin' Peeps!

Today I have a cute little box I made with a little surprise for Sarah to open when we went over to their house yesterday to chill by the pool (my fav summer activity), & of course we LOVE being with Marc & Sarah. I bought these cute bibs (the duck bib says "Grandma gives the best hugs" & the other one is a plain yellow bib) that came wrapped to look like a cupcake & I found the cutest box tutorial to house them in...I loved making this box...it was soooo easy! The tutorial can be found HERE by Karli. I hope you give it a try, you will be happy you did!

Well our granddaughter makes her entrance into the world in 1 more month...wow, time sure did go by fast. I have a few more things up my sleeve for my cutie patootie & her mom & dad....so stay tuned. Talk to you again soon. Have a great day, stay cool, it's going to be a hot & humid day! Thanks for stopping by!
