You Made My Day - Quick and Easy Card

 

A quick card as a note of Thanks.  This used mostly scraps I had laying about on my table.  It to about 10 minutes to make.  I feel so accomplished  with I complete something, quick or not. 

 inside the card

This is a fabulous way to jump start your creativity.  Just grab you scrap basket or box and pick out 2 pieces of paper and one die cut(this one is Cheery Lynn).  You can pick one stamp set, one tool and one embellishment.   Here I chose a greeting set from MFT, a corner rounder and pearls.

Next time your in a rut just grab a card base and a few scraps, set your timer for 10minutes and make something quick.  You'll fee accomplished and have a card to show for it.

Thank you for stopping by today hope your having a wonderful weekend.

Birthday's Birthday's Everywhere & A Special Card Kit

We have tons of Birthday's lately it seems.   Sometimes I can dig into my stash and find just the right card for the occasion but since my girls are getting older my stash seems to have more KIDDY stuff left from when they were younger.  I doubt their friends would appreciate the pretty princess cards during the teen years.

I needed something a little more grown up but not so serious.  I figured I was not the only one in this situation so I put together a Card Class Kit available in the store with some Quick & Easy Cards to put together.

Really all you need is some adhesive and foam tape as well as a couple of markers and glitter and you'll end up with these 5 Cute but not TOO Cute cards, perfect for kids and adults alike.

Each kit includes color pictures and step by step instructions.  I only made 9 of them for now, just so you know.

Hope you like it.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a Great Day!

Fab 5 - Day 5 - Love You More

A really quick card using a Marvy Heart Punch and a stamp by My Favorite Things.   Again using the Doodlebug Papers.  These are Christmas papers but the backs are just red and white perfect for Valentines.  

Woo Hoo the weekend is here.  At 8am this morning the kids asked if they could play out in the snow.  Had to get back to the fort building.  I'm teaching Copic Basics today at Craft Fancy.  Most rewarding class ever.  I love how people leave the class amazed at what a few markers can do.  Dinner tonight at our house with friends I'm going to try a new marinade for pork tenderloin.  YUM.

Happy Happy Weekend!  Hope everyone is having fun!  Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Fab 5 - Day 4 Happy Valentines Day

Such a pretty sentiment.  These dies are by Cheery Lynn.  I did use my Memory Box Heart Die for the background and more of the Doodlebug papers.  The dark color isn't black it's Grey like the rest of the cards.  I've added some rhinestones for a little texture.

Happy Friday!  The kids were excited to play in the snow after school.  Abs was a little sad when it was time to go to the Ice Rink for skating but she showed off her bunny hops and lunges to us in class tonight.  Em went to the sledding hill with Anne who had never been sledding, ever.   She loved it.  Then they all three built a fort in the snow after skating.

It was a nice Friday after yesterdays storm...  Hope your all having a great week, thanks so much for stopping by!

XOXO - Fab 5 Valentine Card day 3

Early post today.  This card uses Doodlebug Paper still  like the others.  All the pieces are cut using the Memory Box Dies.  Love the stem and hearts from the tree set but most of all I am in love with the Parker Font.  Super Versatile!  Cute or modern clean lines.  Love it!!!!

So it's rain and then snow for us today.  No fun outside so today we are inside.   I'll putting together the March Class Schedule for all my instructors out there let me know what you want to teach.

Hope everyone is safe and warm inside with all of the storms coming from various directions!  Have a great Thursday.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fab 5 Bee Mine Day 2 Card

A cute quick card made with the new Memory Box Bee Die, some LawnFawn words and an Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz.  

As you can see I did not get a picture of my word desk today.  With work and everything else I got a little side tracked.  I did however make 12 little take out boxes so far for next weeks swap!  I will share a picture of those soon.  They are so tiny I love them.  I even found candy to put in them  WOOT!

Ok have a great rest of your Wednesday.  I'll be back tomorrow with another card.  Thanks so much for stopping by.
