A little vintage

Another cute stamp line that I'm adding to is Lawn Fawn.  This typewriter and the saying is from "Just My Type" and "Just My Type Too" sets.  Makes for a unique thank you card!  Love the first one with the paper of typewriter keys; second card is same layout with a softer look. 



A friend gave me some embellishments of which this photo card was one.  Using a layout from one of my recent craft magazines, used an antique book page and "aged" buttons to create a vintage look.

A few more

Here are the last two cards I made for the last craft night.  Have some ideas in mind so need to find time to try them this week!

Craft Night is tomorrow!

Our theme this month was Thank You cards.  There were so many inspiring cards with the latest PTI release so you'll see a few ideas taken from there! 

This card was from a new PTI stamp and die set and was so fast to create - just a little striped paper, a little stamping, and you're done!  Love the simplicity of it.


Another great idea from Betsy Veldman was to take words from different stamp sets and create a collage of sorts with them.  I highly recommend doing several sets at once as it's rather labor intensive to look through all your stamp sets, find different sizes and styles, then decide how an arrangement will work!  I do love the finished product though.


This layout was one a crafty friend used on a card but I changed the orientation and decided to do a black/white card with a splash of color.  (When I master the Copics, perhaps I'll make it again with color!)


Another new set was this flower one so, since I love poppies, decided this would be a great tag with the bold orange color.  I think I need a card with this set now!


And lastly, these beautiful birds were from a botanical pad which matched perfectly with the teal background paper from PTI.  A simple ribbon and few pearls make for an elegant card which can be used for anything.


On Wednesday I'll post a few more I've made but need to save them for tomorrow night!

Unique Thank You Card

In a 2008 "Gifts from the Heart" magazine I came across a skull purse that I knew I had to make into a card for a girlfriend who loves skulls. It was somewhat labor intensive but the end result was worth it and I know she'll love it as it's ridiculously cute!

February's Craft Night

It was another amazing craft night with lots of fun chatting and great creations! We have decided to have tags be a regular each month since those are always handy, a card, and a challenge (which you can use for either tags, cards, or something random!).

The challenge this month was to use a packet of butterflies and birds and the creations were amazing and so different. Loved them all!  Mine were incredibly easy to make but I thought the end result was very elegant.  This is made with an embossing folder, mounted on coordinating color, and bird/butterfly image placed on.  Would make a beautiful gift set I think!


More great cards from the other gals ...



The tags this month could be any theme so I chose a variety (I admit - I get bored with mass production!).





These tags were presented with coordinating wrapping paper!




Next month the challenge is thin pieces of cork "paper" and Christmas tags/cards.  Since I have no shortage of holiday stamps and paper, this should be easy!

Some thank you cards

I am so behind on getting thank you's written for my birthday goodies but I had to come up with something cute didn't I?! The one friend is an Angry Bird addict with me so when I saw this stamp set from Paper Smooches I *had* to get it for hers!  Also have had the sewing stamp sets from Taylored Expressions for a while and decided to play with them.  Love the results.  Now off to crop the pictures to post from our February Craft Night - wait til you see those great goodies ...

Reverse embossed card

In my new Paper Crafts magazine there was a reverse embossed card which I thought so was simple and elegant so decided to try it for a Thank You card I needed. Defnitely a technique I'll use again.

Thank you


I had a few scraps to use and love this avocado paper so made up a card rather than putting it into the scrap folder!
