A paid gig

Recently one of the teachers at my kids' school asked if I would make sets of cards for her to give as gifts. She had received a card that I had made for another teacher and liked it so much she wanted some for herself. I was so flattered! She ended up ordering a variety of cards, and I packaged them all up in these little totes (made from PTI stamp set boxes).
If you are interested in the specs for these boxes, let me know, and I'll attempt some kind of tutorial. They are very easy.
Here's one of the cards included--it's an updated version of a card I made a while ago. I put little rhinestone stickers in the flower centers. Love those things!

Here's another in the sets. This is also a CASE of myself, CASEing Debbie Olson, this time using Giga Guide Lines with sparkly centers. I like how the ribbon pinches through the small holes.
I also made monogram cards like the Berry Sorbet polka dot ones shown here.
Packages:
Paper: PTI Raspberry Fizz Mix
Other: PTI stamp boxes, Offray ribbon, eyelets, twine, Scor tape, SU scalloped circle punch

Card #1:
Paper: PTI Hibiscus Burst, White
Ink: SU Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Gable Green, Versafine Onyx

    Would love a tutorial on your totes from the PTI stamp boxes. I was straightening my craft room yesterday and stacked a bunch of those PTI boxes up 'cause I just felt like they should come in handy for something. Your totes are adorable. Would love to case them. Doesn't have to be a fancy tutorial. Just the measurement and a few simple instructions. And, of course, anything not to do that you learned the hard way.
    THANKS!!

    So Cute ... I'd love a copy of your tutorial using the PTI stamp boxes ... I just couldn't stand tossing these when I got the stamps, figured I'd make something of them someday!
    Thanks so much!

Erin Lee Creative November Release

Hello!  I am your last stop on the Erin Lee Creative blog hop for the November release, now available in the shop .  If you haven't seen everyone's creations yet, check the list at the bottom of this post. *PRIZES* Two $50 gift vouchers will be given to winners chosen randomly from comments on each blog in the hop.  Winners will be announced on the Erin Lee Creative blog on November 9. Let's get to the projects! First up are two cards made with the same products...the  Stripe Background Stamp  and the  Stripe Sentiments Stamp Set .  There are so many possibilities with just these two products!  I started with an autumn rainbow of distress oxide inks: I really love how these sentiments fit perfectly in the stripes, and they look like the labels we used to make with those vintage label makers (remember turning the wheel and pulling the trigger for the right letters?).  They look especially good when heat embossed. (Sorry for getting that song...

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I lov...

Hello, friends!  Today I get to join a fantastic blog hop hosted by my sweet friend, Tracey McNeely .  Starting November 1, each day will bring tags made by fantastic cardmakers using stamps from each of the companies below.   *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on Tracey's blog and follow directions there for a chance to win prizes from each of these sponsors: Today I have the honor of sharing the tags I made with Sunny Studio stamps and dies.  Their layering sets are so clever and realistic!  They are offering a $25 gift certificate to their shop. First up is a tag made with the Petite Poinsettias stamps and coordinating dies .  These flowers are small but so detailed--perfectly scaled for a tag. Next are two tags made with the Christmas Trimmings stamp set and coordinating dies .  Again, the detail on these small layering stamps is amazing!  Those pinecones are so perfect.  I also used the "for" and "you" stamps from the Fruit Cocktail s...
