Step Sympathy Card


The step card is my favorite card to make. It is above the ordinary and with bling it is very eye catching. My new stamps came just in time to send to the Bueller/Kramer family for the loss of Mrs. Sharon Bueller.

Happy Birthday to My Granddaughter, Maggie


My Graddaughter's birthday is really February 2, but I couldn't make the card until now, because of recovering from my surgery. Hope she likes her card, I had fun designing it for her. She lives in Indiana and I miss seeing her, along with her 2 brothers and sister. She is the youngest of the 4.

These boxes were a creation I found on a blog I subscribed to. It was made with a Spellbinders Hexagon Petal Envelope and decorated with flowers and edge punch decoration, with a little bling.

These are 2" square boxes for small gifts, such as jewelry. They are made from a Spellbinders Grand Template. And decorated with different edge punches, flowers and butterflies.














Sorry for the blurry image, I couldn't get it any better. This his a Happy Birthday card that has woven card stock through lattice punched cardstock. Handmade flower and a lot of bling.

I'm on a roll, another christmas card - Wreath
















I started by embossing white cardstock with a Sizzix embossing plate (Tween Diamonds), then cutting out a circle with Nestabilities' Standard Circles and covered it with ferns from Martha Stewart Fern Punch. I embellished the wreath with red rhinestones, and a ribbon. Framed it with a gold frame made with Nestabilities Labels One. The only sentiment was Merry Christmas on the inside.

Another Christmas Card



This card was made because I wanted to make another Poinsettia. I used BoBunny a Gift of Love Christmas paper front and back. I received a card folded like this and really liked the fold.

Merry Christmas is embossed with gold, as is the design on the sides of the card and the sentiment on the inside. Of curse I embellished with bling. Hope she likes the cards.

Hexagon Box
















I was on a blog site that had a video on how to make this box. This is my version of the box. It was made from a Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities, "Hexagon Petal Envelope," that made the top and bottom of this box. The nestability was originally made to be an envelope. The flower was made with a Marvy punch and the leaves and blue design around the box was punched with Martha Stewart punches.

Christmas in July


I saw a similar card on Kittie Kraft's blog and just had to design this card. Although my stamps are different, I think I came pretty close. I also used red rhinestones instead of the flowers she used on her card. They are alike, but different.
