Small Silhouette Piano

I figured out how to make the piano so it fits a regular envelope. It is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4! I used reinkers to dye the flowers, fabric leaves and a doily I cut from the Delicate Doilies Die126999. I made the matching envelope with music notes sponged on it. This card can be used for lots of occasions.

Please send a little 'love' and leave a comment!

Until next time!

Remember these?

...Door Knob Hangers! I found a full package of these and am trying to make things out of them. I used the little Bird Builder 117191 punch and stamp for accent on the window I cut using the Apothecary Framelit 127003. The Gumball Green Core'dinations 127847 paper was perfect for the little roof (embossed with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder 127821) and I filled it with Nature's Harvest Trail Mix (for people)! It makes a cute little gift for any occasion.

The Kindness Matters122902 stamp adorned the butterfly and made up the sentiment! I punched it using the Oval Punch 119855 and the Scallop Oval Punch 119856 and tied it off with a piece of Hemp.

Until next time!

Piano Card

I was trying out my Silhouette and found this .svg file online and had to try it... It reminds me of one Liberachi's Pianos (boy that dates me, huh?)! The Silhouette will do lots of things especially using MDS but it's another learning curve!

Until next time!

Tag Flower

 This is one of the cards we made at our Punchie class the other day. You use 8 of the tag punches to create this lovely flower. The base is Cameo Coral with an Indigo Blue mat under a piece of International Bazzar 126920. I used the Chevron Embossing Folder 127749 for the background. Don't you love the folders, they add so much dimension to a card!

I was able to mat the Apothecary Framelit 127003 using 2 cuts and piecing it around the top and sides. You can mat most any of the frames that way!

Until next time!

Merry Kiss-mas!

The Blossom Petals Builder Punch 121808 makes up the leaves of this 'mistletoe'! Sentiment was printed on my computer. I used the Confetti White Paper with an accent strip of International Bazaar Designer Series Paper (126920) matted on Chocolate Chip. Pearls for berries and Baker's Twine sets off the hanging mistletoe (Wild Wasabi). Enjoy!

Until next time!

Note Pad with 2013 Calendar

I was inspired after viewing Patty Bennett's Blog and the note pad holders they had made using MDS (My Design Studio) software. I would really love to play with it more but I seem to be having an issue with margins and printing directly from the MDS program. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Anywhooooo... it turned out ok and would make a great gift for someone in the office, your downline, any hostess or customer! This uses the Clear Cases on Page 7 in the Stampin' Up catalog and the calendar was printed from My Design Studio. I am not sure this post went out... sure hope so.

Until next time!

A Gift for You

Christmas will be here before you realize it! I love this twisted card! It fits a standard A2 envelope and can be decorated so many ways. I used the Beautiful Season Stamp Set 122682 for all the sentiments and to decorate the envelope.

I am not sure why two scans can change to colors so drastically! Sorry I have been slow in posting. This month seems to be flying by!

The base is Cherry Cobbler and the front is glued shut and I used Old Olive. The Designer Paper is discontinued so you can use any papers you choose. LOL the money is fake! These cards are so fun and such a super way to give a money gift or a gift card.

Until next time!

This super scarecrow card I saw on someone's blog and for the life of me I can't remember who. I think it was on Mary Fish's blog! He would also make a great addition to a Fall scrapbook page!

Top Note Ghost - We made this card at our punchie class. He made a great card as well; easy, peasy!

We're looking forward to seeing your creations.

I have been sorta MIA since I had to work all week - I retired five years ago but I still fill in for vacationing personnel! It was really strange working all week... interfered with my 'play' time!
