Priceless Card July, 2011

Sorry I'm posting this so late.  I had a good friend call me and tell me how "down and blue" she had been so I decided to create this card for her.  Unfortunately, our schedules have not allowed for us to meet up, so I still have the card on hand.  On the bright side, this allows me to finally post the card here on my blog.  Yay!

I don't remember all the details, but I will try.

The final card measures 5.5' x 4.25". I used Kraft card stock for the base and used paper from a coordinating paper pack (can't find the paper packaging now, silly me).  I cut the front decorative rectangles at 2" x 2.5". The green rectangle is cut at 3.25" x 3", the printed rectangle is cut at 3" x 2.5" and the top rectangle was cut at 2" x 2.5", all 3 rectangles have their corners rounded.  I used the "Priceless" stamp from Stampin' Up as well as the "Creamy Caramel" stampin' pad from Stampin' Up.  After placing all the cut pieces on the card base, I used a white gel pen and added faux stitching.  Enjoy!

My new hobby/biz

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with you real quick that I decided to take my new hobby to a new level.  As you know, I like crafting, but now I've expanded my crafting to candy/treat making.  I have created a website to show you the items I hand-make.  The Sea Salt Caramels are super yummy for the adult taste buds. The Decadent Truffles are scrumptious.  The peanut butter truffles remind me of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  MY new favorite is Grandma's Sweet Truffle that is rolled in a combination of cocoa, cinnamon and sugar- DELISH!  Please take a look.  Also, the caramel is hand-crafted from scratch, so these take an extra day to process.

I am adding new flavors regularly to check back often. 

Thank you.

Mother's Day Card 2011

 The card base is Kraft card stock, final measurements are 4.25" 5.5".  I used the Mother's Day cart for my Cricut Expression to cut the flower at 3.5".  The circle stamps are from "Stampin" Up" and the "Happy Mom Day" is from Studio g clear stamps found at Michael's in the $1 bins.  I used "Worn Lipstick" Distress Ink for the stamps.  Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the envelope I made and lined using the same paper as the flower, it was really cute!

Birthday cards for my twin niece/nephew

My niece and nephew turn 7, oh my!  Here I used Kraft card stock cut at 4.25" x 11" folded in half for each.  For the banner triangles, letters and number 7, I used my Cricut Expression.  The decorative paper is from the Sweet Matstack from DCWV. 

Simple and easy.
