Holy Cow!

Holy cow can you believe it. Two days in a row. I am back again this time with a card I made and to answer a question I got on my treat boxes yesterday. Nancy asked how much I charged for those bad boys and the answer is $8 for the large and $5 for the small and everyone bought them without a blink of an eye. My card I am sharing today is a Hanna Stamps xmas card. All the paper products are Stampin Up! along with the ribbon and ink. One exception to this rule is white cs. I always us PTI white cs.

Hanna has fun flock on her boots and the snow has some flock. I am having a time with pics and can't seem to master it. So if anyone has any pointers or advice it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants specific instructions or ingredients just ask. I feel like I sound redundant by repeating myself all the time. I colored with my SU! markers b/c my Christmas present is not here yet but should be shortly. Guess what I am getting. Copics!!!!!! Yeah!!!!! I can't wait. I ordered my ATG gun for adhesive and that should be here soon. I get so frustrated with snail adhesive b/c it falls apart. Permanent my butt. Two very talented ladies introduced me and all their blog readers to the ATG gun from Scotch. It is supposed to be great. I can't wait for it to get here. Lauren Meader and Ellen Hutson are the two very talented ladies who taught me all about this gun. I ordered it from framingsupplies.com. If you have not seen Hanna yet you should head on over to Hannastamps.com. Sorry for not being able to add links to my blog. For the life of me I can not figure it out. Again if anyone has any pointers or advice it is greatly welcome. Well enough from me for one day. I will be back tomorrow. Happy Friday and have a stamp happy day!

More Boxes

Here is the pics of one of the small boxes that I created for the craft fair. I did not want to push my luck with the last post and mess it up anymore. Again I used DCWV paper, ribbon from SU! and Holiday Treats stamp set for the Nuggets.

Where have I been?

I can't believe that it has been over a month since I have posted anything. It was a crazy month of craft fairs and whatnot at school with the kids. But that is no excuse. LOL! I wanted to show you these boxes that I made for one of the craft fairs that I attended. The first pic is the inside of the box with the red ribbon and the other two go together. this truly is a learning experience all this blogging. I screwed up when I downloaded the pics but you get the gist. I used Holiday Treats stamp set from PaperTreyInk. One of my favorite companies. Inside the box is some scrumptous Hershey nuggets. I stamped mailing labels with the Holiday Treats and wrapped them around the nuggets. The boxes came from ACMoore in a set of two, one large one small. One set had a tree the other had a star on top. I covered them with dp from DCWV, wrapped a little ribbon around the lids, some treats inside and they sold like hotcakes. If you have any questions about what I did you can leave them in a post or email me. thanx for looking and I am going to try to be more regular with my posts.

This is a little card I made using a House Mouse stamp. They are just the cutest little stamps. This little guy has flock on his santa hat. I stamped him with adirondack pitch black and then colored him with su watercolor pencils and a blender pen. My pic does not do this card any justice. The background is a stamp from su and I colored the berries on the holly with my copic spica red glitter pen. The sentiment is also su. The ribbon is basic grey. I used always artichoke and rose red su cardstock and papertey ink white cs. He is a cutie none the less. This blogging thing is more complicated than it looks. This is supposed to be my second entry for today but for some reason it is at the top. Please bear with me while I sort out all these technical difficulties.

Hello and how is everyone on this fine fall day. It has stopped raining and the sun has come out here in the NEPA. We have nothing to complain about. I made this card last night for the MFTSC02 on SCS. I did not have enough time to add it to my blog b/c it was late.

Recipe:

cardstock: bazzill, su garden green and confetti cream, basic grey perhaps dp

stamps: MFT It's a jungle out there

ink: adirondack pitch black, su garden green, old olive, choc. chip, creamy caramel, summer sun, basic gray

Quick X-mas Card

Hello again. It has taken me all day to post because blogger could not upload pics. Just a quick card. I have not mastered the picture taking yet so it is not the best pic. The stamp set is Big on Christmas from SU!, all paper is from SU!, snow blossom punch and fire rhinestone brad from SU! It was a quick and easy card, possibly for mass production. Simple is sometimes best. I just love to make Christmas cards. Have a great nite. I'll post again tomorrow.

Long time no see or read

Hello everyone. I am finally back and the wedding went very well and so did our trip. I have been avoiding the blog thing mostly b/c I stalk many blogs and it has intimidated me. I feel as if my talents can't compare. I am not even close to being in the same league. However reading these blogs I learn something new everyday and it inspires me to keep creating. So I have decided that Rome wasn't built in a day and so we all must start somewhere. So here we go. My card today is my first Hanna Stamps creation. I just love this stamp set. It is so girly, perfect for teenage girls or girls my age trying to stay young despite the fact that our children are growing like weeds and will soon be taller than us. For this card I used all SU paper with the exception of the white which is from Papertrey Ink and by far surpasses Whisper White in quality and color. I paper pieced Hanna and her bags with Flowers For You DSP. The flowers are prima and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I made this card for my BF just cuz. This card also is for Beate's weekend sketch. I hope you enjoy. Have a stamp happy day.

First card ever uploaded and it only took 10 minutes

Hello again everyone. Back so soon you say. Well I just had to try and upload some pics. Amazingly enough it worked with only two tries. This may be easier than I thought. Just a simple b-day card. I used So Saffron and Soft Sky cardstock, Blue Bayou ink to edge my photo corner which is from OB Blossoms and Basics along with the petals that I covered with Rose Red DP and sanded the edges. The center of the flower is covered with So Saffron DP topped off with a button and linen thread. The photo corner is covered with Soft Sky DP edged and then wrapped with hemp. The sentiment is from SU Hugs and Wishes. All images are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted. Hope you enjoyed my first card ever posted. Not my first card ever. Any questions or comments please feel free. TFL
