Butterfly Dreams

I just love the soft whimsical feel of this card!  I saw another card very similar to this somewhere and I thought it was just too wonderful not to CASE.  It was fun and so simple to stamp and I just love it!

Octopus Fun

For some reason kid cards really kick my butt!  Men card are difficult, but kid cards, ugh!  I come to a complete stand still and review all the reasons why I shouldn't even bother!  But this card turned out so cute and I had a blast making it!  The Pacific Point and Lucky Limeade just look so amazing together!!

It is hard to tell in the picture, but I did some Ice Embossing Powder over the scallop circle with the octopus on it and it really adds a nifty texture.  I just love the fan embossing folder as it reminds me so much of waves and works perfectly with the ocean theme.

I think I am going to do a similar card using the turtle from the Summer Splash stamp set.  He is just too cute not too!

Triple Layer Daisy

I have been absolutely paranoid to try the triple layer cards.  It just seemed like way too much cutting and size configurations to really bother my scattered brain with.  But Lyssa at Song of My Heart Stampers is amazing and she did this incredibly easy tutorial on how to cut, stamp and create an amazing card!

So I figured I would try my hand at it!

After making a couple of the triple layer cards, I will admit I feel a little silly being so intimidated.  Now, I laugh in the face of the Triple Layer Card Monster!  =)

Happy Stamping!

Busy, Busy, Busy

It has been an absolutely crazy few weeks and like most everyone else, it promises to get even more chaotic!  I have over 600 cards to make by December 1st, 3 card classes left in the year, 3 more Virtual Card Classes, my parents are moving this coming week, my son is coming to visit next week for 5 whole days!!!  I think it is safe to say no cards will be made next week with Garrett in town.  However a trip to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Durango is DEFINITELY in order!

In the meantime, I have been busy whipping up cards and putting together card matrix to keep track of all the orders.  Which reminds me!  I need to put together some Christmas cards to put in the antique shop!  Ahhhhhh!   Better add that one to the list!

Here is one of the cutesy birthday cards I made last week.  It was nice to pull out the buttons and use those up!  I have really enjoyed the Reason to Smile stamp set and Melon Mambo with the Pumpkin Pie just makes such a cheery card!

Wait til you see the other cards I have made using the same stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

Cookie Boy

I have been dying to use the cute quote on the front of this card and what better use for it then on this adorable Cookie Boy card?!  I am loving the More Merry Messages and Scentsational Season stamp set with coordinating Framelits!  Because let's face it, there is no way I would cut that little cutie out with scissors!

I figured a little bit of bling for his buttons were in order to jazz him up for the holidays a bit!

LOVE HIM! 

Thanksgiving Card Class

It feels so wonderful getting back in the groove of having my card classes planned out and next classes cards finished!!  This Saturday is the Halloween Card Class AND I will even have my Thanksgiving Cards there for all to see!   SO HAPPY!  Plus, now that I have my website up and running, you can even RSVP for the class online!

 RSVP for Thanksgiving Class!

This is my FAV!  I love the pumpkins!

Happy Stamping!

New Website

I have been having a fun time working on my new website and although it isn't COMPLETE it is a start!  I must say that my favorite part so far is the sign up section for my classes!  I am REALLY hoping that it works out well and helps with streamlining all of the RSVP's.

Right now I use a combination of Facebook and email and even though Facebook is very convenient, not everyone replies or is even on Facebook so I have to go back to email.  Which, let's face it, is really the best way.  HOWEVER, I use Constant Contact for newsletters and such so maybe I can integrate the email in with the website RSVP page!   Oh ya, baby!

I would really like to get my little shop up and running by the end of this month, so we shall see! Hopefully the busy gods will take pity on me and leave me to my own devices!

So if you get a chance, head on over to Greetings From Suzanne and let me know what you think!

Happy Stamping!
