Autumn Fest

I have so much more to post... I am determined to find more time for posting! At any rate, here is a card I created for a swap.

I recent attended a techniques class. This technique, Joseph's Coat, was demonstrated. I really ... REALLY... like it. I had envisioned this card the moment I saw the technique. If you need more info on it, see SCS. They are a great resource!

My Family

*grins*... so here we are. Too bad the All in The Family set doesn't have a hamster stamp. LOL!! That's the only thing we are missing!!

So Kind...

Wow, it's been crazy busy over here. I just wanted to put a couple of postings up today. I have been meaning to post them for a long time now.

This was a swap that was taken to Convention for me. This is also the prototype as I forgot to keep one for myself... LOL! I started out using 1 1/2" squares. I dropped it down to 1 1/4" squares and it looked so much better!

It's such a simple card. It's also a pretty cool looking card... I LOVE when that happens!!

Card for a Friend

I have a friend that loves Stampin' Up! She also loves the color Chocolate Chip. I had to give this card to her!!

Now, I totally CASEd this card from Scor-pal.com. It is the Accordion folds tutorial. The only difference is that I used the stamps from the Simple Delights - Simply Sent kit. I also used different patterns from the same paper pack. I really liked the way it came out too. Throwing in some River Rock Textured Paper really sets all of it off nicely.

Simply Sent - Simple Delights

Well I thought that might grab your attention. :)

I just got my first Simply Sent kit. I have to say that I love it! I got the Simple Delights version because I am very much into the Baroque-type stamps. It is so versatile and elegant.

Now, I am not the type of person to do EXACTLY what the directions tell you to do. I did model this card after the example but I did do some different things to it. I created the background on the Soft Sky, made the card open vertically, added the sentiment on Very Vanilla & Choc. Chip paper, and I sponged all around the card and sentiment. I will post the "other" card later on... I hope you like this one!
