Hello Creative Friends,
I decided to do a card with the sketch this week from over at Jen’s SFYTT (Sketch For You To Try), using the Stampin’ Up! set, Humor In High Heels.
I stamped the dress image from the set right on patterned paper. I cut the hanger and neck out and added rhinestones to the dress sashes. I love pinks and greens together! On the inside of the card I added one of the dresses and used the “fashionably late” sentiment from the set.
Thanks for stopping in. Have a creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
I had to make a card for my husband’s great-aunt’s 90th birthday this week and I wanted it to be kind of feminine and pretty so I decided on some floral patterned paper. I got a pad of K&Company paper (The Best of Brenda Walton) from Michaels this week with my 50% coupon and I’m so excited about it. It’s got all kind of florals, some ginghams, a little vintage, and a little bit of everything in it. Isn’t it amazing how a little bit of pretty paper can bring so much joy? Especially when you get it half off:)
This card fit into one of my 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelopes but pretty snug so I made an envelope out of the patterned paper just a little larger than that to accomodate for the embellishments (and so that my husband’s aunt had no trouble getting it out or back in the envelope if she wanted to). I just took apart an envelope and used that as the pattern and enlarged it. I think hand-delivered cards are so fun because you can perk up the card and the envelope any way you want.
I liked how I put that tag and library clip with the ribbon on my last rose card so I did that again only used a small all silver binder clip this time and added ribbons to the top of the clip.
Thanks for stopping in. Hope you have a creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a coffee themed card. I had been trying to find a more feminine shaped coffee mug template than what I’d seen around the web and I finally found a teacup one that I stretched and adjusted a little bit so I could turn it into the coffee mug I wanted. I wanted it suitable for a woman and almost every cup template I could find screamed, “dad” mug.
I’ve been saving a particular piece out of my October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper pad to do this project with when I found the right mug template. Yes! I do have other paper but I keep being drawn to this particular pad.
I edged a little black ink around the entire card just to give it a little definition. I added a little punch work from one of my Martha Stewart border punches and some brads to make my cup have a little decorative detail. The sentiment is from the Delightful & Delicious Verve stamp set. Thanks to Chia’s Rubber Stamp Act for the teacup template! She has lots of fun templates so be sure to check those out too.
Note:
I added in some resources to my blog for you.

Hello Creative Friends,
I’ve seen these easel cards all over and had to try one. I used the easel card directions at Splitcoast and adjusted the size. For this I dug out one of my favorite stamp sets, Friends 24-7 (Stampin’ Up!).
I wanted to give it just a little vintage touch so I chose some K&Company paper from my stash that I thought would work and used a little distress ink on the edges of the image. I purposely left the bird image all one color and didn’t fill in the branch.
I used a brad for my card “stop” and some pearls, flowers, and satin ribbon to decorate with. The flowers and leaves are made with Sizzix Sizzlit dies.
These cards do fold up to put in envelopes (you may want to pad them to mail because of what you choose for your “stop” embellishment but I always have cards that need padded to mail). I know it’s hard to see the true color of the card stock base but it’s Papertrey’s Scarlet Jewel, which I think is so pretty.
I brought my ‘fridge’ page over to my new blog. Of course when you move you have to bring your appliances with you! Ha!
