So here's what I did last night created another flower pot card.  Their sort of fun to make.. also added some felt flowers too it.

Have a great day what ever your plans are, and keep safe!

Hello Friend!

Happy Sunday everyone~
Here's a card I decided to just do in the spur of the moment, I felt being alittle creative this morning.You know how it is, can't stay away from the craft room ( He,he) We had no plans yet for today so I decided to kinda pickup and straighten out my craft tables.. While doing that I decided I wanted to create something with a bear with flowers, so here is what I came up with.  This is one of those easy easel card that I keep doing alot, they are so easy and challenging to do.  This one folds down to a 5 x 5.  Added a lot of stickles on the flowers to bring it out.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Keep safe~
hugs:-)

Happy Father's Day Gifts!

Happy happy Friday everyone~
Some of you must be so excited with the long weekend coming up, especially because Monday is a Holiday for the majority.  Whatever you do please keep safe and have an amazing time in what ever you have in stored.
Well, here's what I've been working on last night - I made this for my HB dad which is my FIL of course.
This reminds me so much of my dad, although he his no longer here (he past away 4 1/2 years ago) he loved working with tools.  He would always be repairing something, even if it didn't have to be fixed.  Well my FIL is the same way too, his a fanatic with his tool boxes.
So here is my gift to him~  Gate Fold Card, Money Holder Card and Mini Pizza Box

I used the Diamond Plate embossing folder, colored my digital stamps with MS markers,
did the sentiments on my computer.

Here's what the inside of the Gate Fold Card looks like: did the sentiments on my computer,
and colored the digital stamp

Inside of the money holder card and pizza box (He loves his snicker's).

The Gate fold card is a 5 x 10 so when it folds it becomes a 5 x 5 card, fits perfect for the envelopes I have.
I know he will be ecstatic when he receives this on Father's Day..
Well all my DF(s) in blog land - have a great day and  keep safe.
Hugs to ya all:)

Gate Fold Card!

Happy Thursday everyone~
Just a little update -  unfortunately GOOGLE still has not fixed the problems that is affecting me and  everyone else for the past 2 1/2 days now.  To all my DF as I mentioned in my posting yesterday  as long as we have to sign in to GOOGLE it will not let me post a comment I only can leave comments to NAME/URL's only.  Thank you for  your patients and understanding.  I miss commenting to all of you. LOL...
In spite all of these concerns, here is a card I created.  I did a 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 gate fold card which after it is done it becomes a 4 1/4 card.  You  can alter the size if you want a bigger card.  I added panels on  both the outside and inside of the card.  Added an additional cardstock layer on the inside of the card so you can write.   This pattern is also great as an invitation card.  (How cute is that!). 



I added Velcro fastener so when you close the card it would stay put.

 Until we meet again ~ Have a great blessed day!
Hugs:)

Folded Paper Frame!

Happy Wednesday ya all!
To start off my apologizes to everyone if I haven't been leaving any comments on your blog sites.  There seems to be some kind of  internal problems with certain bloggers and I'm one of them that cannot leave comments with bloggers who have GOOGLE,  I can only leave comments with URL's.  Problems still has not be resolved as of yesterday and I'm getting pretty darned fussy about it.
Any way here's a cute paper frame card I created and I think this project can be used in so many different ways.  This will be so cute to even put a photo inside of the frame ex: graduation, birthday, wedding etc.,
This photo frame I did it on a 4 1/4  square.  You can make it bigger as long as the square is the same, I'm working on the next size up to see how this will turn out - I'll share it with you when I get it done...
For this photo frame I colored my digital stamps with MS markers.  I'm  not sure if you can see it but I also added stickles to the middle of the yellow flowers!

Thanks for stopping by and I just hope the problems with Google gets resolved soon.
Have a great blessed day~
Hugs:D

Easel Card!

Here's an easel card I wanted to share.  I think this is one of the easiest kind of cards to create.
You can make them at any size and they all look pretty.

Stamped my digital on my Nestabilities labels one, colored with MS markers,
added  a little bling, MS border punch.

This particular easel card folds down to a 4 1/4 x 4 /1/4.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

A Card for a DF!

Here's a card I made for one of my DF.  I've been working on a bunch of greeting cards and she comes over to visit me just about every day or so and is inspired to learn how to craft.  So she's a big plus cutting my DP and CS to card sizes and making a bunch of ribbons that I thought her with the ribbon maker.
Anyway I just wanted to share what I created for her. 

Colored the digital stamp with my copics & memento markers, did the sentiment on my computer.

Well until we meet again ~ have a great Wednesday!
HUGS:)

Graduation Money Holders!

Here's 10 graduation money holders that I've been working on today for my DD - ML.  It's graduation time here on the BI this coming Friday, Saturday & Sunday.  It was sort of a last minute thing my DD asked me to do, so of course those scraps again came in handy.  Since I've been doing a lot of these money holders recently it was a breeze to get them done.

Assortment of DP, ribbons, colored CS, scalloped oval punch, sentiments I did from my computer.

Here are three of what the cards look like inside.
The sentiments I did it on my computer, and the grad stamp is from Dandelion Stamp collection.

This is a short post that I wanted to share.  Until the next time - Have a blessed day!
Hugs:)

Magnolia! Here she is!

Yes, I'm a little shock myself, this is my second Magnolia that I did.  I know, what's up with that.. My first one was a little mini and thanI decided to advance to this bigger stamp. I think she is one of the cutest stamp out there and hopefully I can try to get to all of them someday.  Well, trying to tolerate coloring this one was a little challenging in spite having a pile of tissue on my craft table due to my running nose from this cold I'm trying to still fight  off. (Haven't had a cold like this in a very, very long time). Anyways I used a bunch of copics on this cutie - Y06, Y08, E00, E000, E51, R20, Inkssentials, and the rest by MS markers.

Well to all you in craft blogland have a great rest of the day or evening, hopefully I can be back tomorrow with something different.
Hugs :)

Mahalo Gift!

Here's a little gift for my DD BFF who ordered all those money holders that I made the day before.
I did the mini pizza box and stamped it with my 2005 Stampin Up "Aloha set".  I stucked some Big Island Candies chocolate dipped shortbread cookies in there but forgot to take a photo of it.  She came by my house this morning to pick up her box of cards and was in a hurry.  Oh well!

Well wishing all  of you  mother's in craftland a very "Happy Mother's Day!
Have a safe weekend ya all!
Hugs:)

More Money Holder's!

Happy Thursday everyone~ 
Gee isn't the week flying by again... Here's some pics I wanted to share on an order I'm fulfilling for my DD's BFF.  I guess there's a lot of people out there that appreciates home made cards than buying them..  I also think this is a very quickie project to do and of course I try to make them one of a kind, although you might see the same DP but of another creation in design.  ( Less scraps for me - he, he).  Also this is another way of getting rid of all your scraps, which indeed I do have a lot.  I'm one hoarder, I do not throw nothing out if I think I can do wonders with it....

Oops on some of the pics that's hidden, I'll try to re-take those on my next batch of pics..
As for the recipe on these cards I've got a lot going on.  I used a lot of scraps and forgot the names of the DP, sentiments I had stashed in one folder, clear stamps on some of them, embellishments, embossing, digital stamps (yikes!).
Well I really need to get motivated - got a lot going on this morning and probably back to finishing up more money holders later today. 
Have a great day:)

A Flower Pot for Someone Special!

Here's a little flower pot template that I did, punched out some MS Butterflies and glue dot it on to the ribbon. I still have to put some chocolate kisses in there.  I've been jumping around with my projects so I have a bunch of in completes that's just piling up.  Mind you I need to get my craft room cleaned up too.
I took this picture from the picture window inside of my craft room!

Here's my messy craft room, it's  only so big with two big picture windows in there... This is the best part of  the house during the day the breeze just flows through the room.  Well need to get myself motivated.  Until the next time... Keep on crafting and have a blessed day:)


No wonder I have a hard time finding all my stuff!



Yikes....

My bad habit cutting and throwing all the paper on the floor !

This part of the room got straightened out..
