Gift Box with Cards

This is a monogrammed card box with 10 matching cards, taught to me by my upline Wendy, that I made for my dear friend Abby. Her favorite colors are blue and green. I was so pleased that it arrived to her safely (Alberta to BC) and that she really liked it. This was a bit out of my comfort zone since I don't much like making anything other than cards.

Bar-B-Que



This is an invitation that I did last summer for a Bar-B-Que we were having to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of our new house.

The sets used were Backyard BBQ and Bunch O' Bugs from Stampin' Up. I embossed the red checkerboard to make it look like a plastic tablecloth and stamped the ants in black. The "cooker" was stamped in Encore Silver Metallic. I used punches for the gloves and used dimensionals to pop-up the bottom one.

Road Trip

I am a member of the Lion's Club. There is a convention coming up in Minneapolis and I have been teasing one of the member's to go. She carries this really big purse. I mentioned that we should put all sorts of items starting with the letter V in her purse.

This is the front of the card:

And on the inside - hopefully you can click on it to make it bigger:

Let me know what you think!

Bridal Shower Card and Basket

Bridal Shower


My friend's daughter is getting married soon. This is the card I made for the bridal shower in the colors of the bridal party. The bride has chosen a seashell theme. Below the wedding dressing I wheeled Seashells in versamark. The corset was traced with a gel pen. I don't have the particular stamp...


This is the basket her Mom and I made together. Plain napkins wheeled with Seashell wheel in cerely green
