Back to School

Hello Friends,
This week was Back to School for two of my kiddos and Back to Work for me :o)
This year I moved back to the 2nd grade team. Every year I always make something special to welcome my team back to work and this is what I came up with for this year....

They are mini hand-sanitizer holders!!! Which we all know are perfect for teachers who have to work with young children and snotty noses LOL!

I Just Love Gingham!

Hello Friends,

Today's card is a technique card. I made it using a brayer, an embossing folder, and two different inks. I wanted to make a gingham print background to match the center of my Daisy stamp. It's such a fun technique and would look great on baby cards, a picnic card, or even just a hint of background paper for any card. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Card Size: 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"

Card Palette: Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White

Stamp Sets: Decorate a Daisy and Itty Bitty Banners

Monster Birthday

Hello Friends,

Today's card is one I made to celebrate my nephew's birthday. A little over a year ago he chose this stamp set as a set he would like to play with. I promised him that I would use mine and make several different types of cards with it so he could see how versatile this set really is. If you browse through my past posts and find December 2011 you will find the cute pop up Christmas card that I made him. In the next couple of days I will be posting several other monster cards that I made. I even made a couple in a girl theme because monsters can be for boys or girls.

Anyway, this is called a tunnel card. They are so much fun because when you open them up you get a sweet surprise and they look great standing open on a desk or shelf. 

Card Size: 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"

Card Palette: Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White
