Halloween Cards

Here are some of my Mom, Lyn's, cards that she made while we were enjoying the view of the bay.

Shelli's Creations

How cute are these place settings? The CEO of SU!, Shelli Gardner, created these for a tv show. Click on this LINK for great ideas on how to recreate these products. There is also a list of all the SU! products used to make these beautiful table decorations.

Scallop Flowers Stationary Box

So I finally finished the project my Mom and I were working on last Friday. The project that started the "Scallop Flower & Leaf Tutorial". Thank you for all of the fabulous comments I got on it. I hope I can do more tutorials in the future. Actually I finished my project a few days ago but finally took pictures today. This is not my original idea I got the idea from Jackie Topa who is incredibly creative. She is the creator of the Stationary Box but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it.

It looks just like a regular card box, right? Well that is where you are wrong. This card box features loads of surprises...


Would you believe that this box holds...3X3 Love Notes...Standard-Size Cards...Gift Tags...Stamps...a Pen....and an Address Book?



Well....Believe it!!

What a fabulous idea!! Here are all the goodies inside!!



Recipe: DSP--Berry Bliss; CS--Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Green Galore, & Chocolate Chip; Ink--Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink (Marker), Green Galore (Marker); Stamps: For a Friend (Hostess Set); Ribbon--Pink Grosgain (non-SU!) and Tools--Stapler, Scallop Punch, 3/4" circle punch.

Of Course my Mom made one too! Here is her design:




I love how she cut out the flowers from the DSP using a punch. It was so creative and a fun way to look at the DSP other than just a sheet of paper.

Recipe: DSP--Berry Bliss; CS--Pretty in Pink, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate & Very Vanilla; Ink: Close to Cocoa & Chocolate Chip; Stamps--Embrace Life; Tools: 1" circle Punch. (I am guessing at her recipe since I was busy making my box and wasn't always paying attention to what she was using.)

These boxes are so beautiful....hmmmm! I'm thinking Christmas Presents, what about you?

For a Birthday "Cutie Pie"

Here is another card that my mom, Lyn, made. The picture came out a little dark. I think it is time to retire my point and shoot Nikon for an upgrade. Oh darn! :-) Oh well, it works for now. Enjoy the card!


Recipe: DSP--Cutie Pie; CS--Bashful Blue, Old Olive, & Whisper White; Stamps--For A Friend (Hostess Set); Ribbon -- Non-SU!; Ink--Old Olive & Unknown.

Spring Fling Flower Cards

As you all know, with the addition of child number 3 in our family, it has been a little difficult to spend a whole lot of time stamping. But I don't want my blog to just be where I put information about SU! promotions and my classes either. I want it to be a resource full of stamping ideas for all of you. So since I've been so busy keeping up with my kids I thought I would CASE some cards from someone else, my Mom, Lyn! Many of you know that she is a huge stamping addict and spends many hours relaxing while making cards and other projects. She is also very creative and I am so excited to share these two cards with you.



Recipe: DSP--Spring Fling; CS--So Saffron, Whisper White & Certainly Celery; Stamps--Blooming With Love; Ribbon--Non-SU!; Ink--Basic Black & (Unsure of coloring method).
