If the Halo Fits Scrapbook page

On this scrapbook page I used a Faux Background Technique behind the main image on the Rose Red card stock. Then mounted it on a base of Chocolate Chip Textured Card stock. It adds  some texture to the page.  

I used Eyelet Border, Ticket Corner and Photo Corner punches to complete my page.

  The adorable angel from If the Halo Fits stamp set has been colored and wings glittered to add to the beauty of the page. I added three Chocolate Chip brads from the 5/16" Neutral Assortment Jumbo Brads to dress up the 1" Rose Red Stitched Ribbon.

More Birthday gifts

This was my gift from Anna. 

She used the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper on both the card and box. 

The card uses the On Your Birthday stamp set, Oval punch, Scallop oval punch and the Scallop Edge punch. 

I absolutely love how she used the Stampin'Up! Birds and Blooms Sizzlits dies along with the butterfly from the Great Friend stamp set to adorn the top of this adorable box.

What a wonderful way to use the Cheers to You stamp set.

Debbie made this refreshing gift for me. I love the cute little drinks. And can't forget the chocolate. There was more chocolate but I ate some before I took the picture.

She also used the Tart & Tangy and Heard from the Heart stamp sets on my birthday card.

Lorrie made me this adorable Daffodil card and Framed Art. 

It is so pretty.

For the card and framed art she used the Inspired by Nature stamp set.

Fabulous friend is part of the Oval All stamp set.

I love the daffodils. They are made using the 5 petal punch, Boho Blossom punch and crimper.

Faith made us all these matching frames. 

Too cute! 

It definitely makes me smile. 

It features the Cheep Talk stamp set.

Look at the  flower on the outside of the frame.

 She used the words Its your day  ENJOY! from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

My birthday card features the Garden Greetings stamp set.

The box set and cards use Great Friend  and Oval All stamp sets. 

I just love these colors combinations. Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Kraft.

Blooming with Love

Happy Mother's Day! 

to my Mom and to my Mother-in-Law.

Flowers are great for a mother's day card.

Bella Rose Paper Holder with Cork Buttefly

 

Happy Birthday Anna!

When trying to think of what to make for Anna's Birthday gift, I decided to look through the Stampin' Up! Spring & Summer 2009 idea book & catalog. 

On page 196 I saw this adorable paper holder and decided to recreate it.

I used the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies bigz die to cut the butterfly out of corkboard. 

Yes the dies cut through it just fine.

The box is created from left over cardboard and Bella Rose Designer Series Paper.

Pink Flamingo Framed Art

Happy Birthday Fairle!

Fairle was one of the Birthday girls on Saturday. 

Earlier in the week, I had asked her what she wanted for her birthday. 

She told me all she wanted was something/ some kind of art made with Pink Flamingo  Designer Series Paper.

 

This is what I came up with. 

I used markers to ink up these words from the All Holiday stamp set. 

I cut and layered the different pieces. 

Then using the 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and new grommets I completed my gift.

Birthday Celebration Shoe Box Swap

Today several of my friends and I gathered to celebrate birthdays. We played a game called Left, Right, Center. What a fun game. Thanks Faith for sharing it. 

We had a great lunch and dessert.

One of the best parts of our celebration is our shoe box swap. A shoe box swap is when each person brings a project with everything all ready for everyone to make.

This was my project. 

It features an adorable stamp set, Cheap Talk, along with Kind Thanks. 

My club members will recognize this as one of our March projects.

Shoe box Swap Projects

Here are some of the shoe box swap projects that I was able to make. 

Cathy's project features a Layered Brayer Technique using the Stitched Exotics and Kind Thanks stamp set.

Fairle's project used the Just Beachy and 

Define your Life stamp sets. 

 

Norma brought this adorable flower pot project.

It uses Stampin' Up! Cherry Blossom embosslits and Little Leaves Sizzlits dies. It also features our new Scallop Oval punch.

More Shoe Box Swap projects

Here's some more Shoe Box Swaps.

Lorrie used the Bag with Scallops Bigz xl and Flower Blossom sizzlits dies to create this cute candy bag. 

In Debbie's project we used the Kind Thoughts Flourish Decor Stencil found on page 23 of the Decor Element brochure. 

 Stencils don't have to be just for walls. You can use them to decorate cards, table cloths, photo albums and more.

This one is Anna's. We used the 

Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper, Oval All stamp set, Grommet hardware and Scallop Oval Punch featured in the Occasion mini catalog.

We even stamped the inside of the card with the Great Friend stamp set.

 LOvE it! What great projects

Party Hearty

Here's a great Birthday card for teenagers or even a male card. Some of you might recognize it from my Birthday Stamp-A-Stack last month.  A Stamp-A-Stack is a great way to make a lot of cards at a reasonable price. Contact me at ginadygert@yahoo.com to register for my next Stamp-A-Stack.

It features the Party Hearty Stamp set along with  In Colors Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss. 

A real simple but great card.

Heartfelt Sympathy

It is always a sad time when love ones pass away. 

 

Close as a Memory is a beautiful stamp set to use to create heartfelt cards.

Add some texture with the new Stampin' Up! background I textured plates. 

I also added a little dimension to this card using the paper-piercing tool and pad from my Crafters' Tool Kit along the edge of the inner piece of cardstock.

Get Well Face card

Here is a cute get well card that is sure to brighten some ones day.

To create this face you will need the Pick A Petal stamp set, it is not just for creating flowers, and a brand new pencil eraser for the small dot in the eyes.

For the base of my card I used a stamp from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set. The get well soon words are from the Sincere Salutations stamp set.

Large Cupcake Card

What a  YUMMY Card. This large cupcake looks good enough to eat. 

I stamped the Simple Birthday Thanks stamp on both Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip card stock. 

Cut around the line. 

Textured the bottom of the cupcake using my paper crimper. 

For this sparkling cherry, I first colored in the cherry with the Real Red Stampin' Write marker, then covered it with Two Way glue and the red glitter from the Fine Galaxy Stampin' Glitter.

 I attached it to my card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Good Friend tote

A while back I had recreated the tote box made at Leadership.

If you don't all ready own the Scallop circle punch it is definitely one to add to your wish list. I used it to create leaves in the trees and a nest, folding it over.

I didn't have some of the supplies needed, so I improvised. 

I made my own Designer Paper for the sides using the adorable stamps in the Good Friend stamp set.

Happy Easter

Wishing every one a HAPPY EASTER!
Rejoice in the season.

This is my Easter card I sent to friends and family. Since the outside said you crack me up, I decide to put a different knock, knock joke into each card.

Here is one of my favorites.

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Heidi.

Heidi who?

Heidi the eggs around the house.
