Cupcake

2010-05-17T00:52:00.000-07:00

Hello,
It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything - life has been a little crazy for the past several months and I haven't been in the studio much. I finally spent some concentrated time in there being creative again and designed some cards for a gift set. There were 5 cards in the set but here is one of my favorites - maybe I'll post the rest later this week. My husband and I are focusing on eating better starting tomorrow so this is the closest I'll get to a cupcake anytime soon!

Supplies
Cardstock: Regal Rose Cardstock - SU
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Infuse Collection
Stamps: Well Scripted - SU; Cute As A Button - Papertrey Ink
Embellishments: Raspberry Fizz button - Papertrey Ink; Linen Thread- SU
Tools: Scallop Circle - Spellbinders

Color Challenge

2010-01-13T12:36:00.000-08:00

Hello,

Happy Wednesday! What better way to celebrate being half way through the week than with a color challenge! I made this card for Dawn Mcvey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21. This is the first time I’ve participated in a color challenge and it was great to have a color palette to work with as a starting point. I always think of baby cards when I see blue, yellow, and cream so I tried to come up with a card that wasn’t baby related.

I’m really loving butterflies right now so I used the Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die from Stampin’ UP! This die includes a variety of sizes which allows you to make a layered butterfly. I used So Saffron cardsock for the bottom butterfly layer, textured Baja Breeze for the middle layer and Sweet Slumber Designer Series paper for the top layer. I also added a cream paper flower from Hero Arts and a Chocolate Chip flower button from Stampin’ UP! to finish it off. I'm starting to use my sewing machine again so I did a zig zag detail above the sentiment where the background and Baja Breeze cardstock meet. Ther rest of supplies are listed below.

Supplies (All supplies SU unless otherwise noted)

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip; Cream Grid - My Mind's Eye

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Ribbon: Organza Whisper White, hemp twine

Stamp: Inkadinkadoo

Hope you have a great day. Thanks for visiting my blog.

St. Jude's Valentines

2010-01-08T22:11:00.000-08:00

Hello,

Happy New Year! I was reading some of my favorite blogs this week and I came upon a card drive that Winter Sims is doing. She's collecting Valentine cards to give to St. Jude patients. So these little bear cards are what I ended up making. Of course I have a hard time doing "simple" so they took me a little longer to make than expected (I made 6) but it's toally worth it if it brightens someone's day!

TREAT BAGS

Hello,
Just a quick post to show you some of the treat bags that I'll be selling at the Holiday Shopping Event tomorrow! I'll have some with more traditional Christmas colors too.

STOCKING

2009-11-04T21:19:00.000-08:00

Hello,

I've been working on some paper stockings lately for a little shopping event I'm going to be hosting later this month. So, here is the first one I made - it's a stocking on the front and the back with a little box in the middle that can hold candy, a gift or just use as a decoration. I used a template from My Timeless Templates and the paper and stamps are from Stampin' UP!

Just a short post for today but at least I met the challege of at least posting 2 days in a row now - only 12 more to go!

WINTERY FUN!

2009-11-03T13:40:00.000-08:00

Hello,

I know I haven’t done a very good job at posting (obviously I’ve done 1 post - 2 weeks ago!) so I thought I better get on it! I’ve heard that a habit is created in 14 days so here it goes …… my challenge to myself is to post something for the next 14 days in a row!

For today I’ve created a few gift cardholders out of some non-traditional holiday colors. I used the Colorful Christmas paper pack from My Mind’s Eye and the sentiments are from Dawn McVey’s Signature Christmas stamp set.

All for today – let's see what happens tomorrow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!

2009-10-16T16:13:00.000-07:00

About a year ago I decided I wanted a blog and spent a couple months working with Veronica McCollum to design the "Oh So Cute Studio" blog. Well, it's been designed and waiting for me to use for about 9 months now! I've been mentioning to friends and family that it would be ready soon so today is the day!

This card is dedicated to my dear friend Kim who is celebrating a BIG Birthday tomorrow! Kim has continually encouraged me to start blogging and sharing my papercraft ideas. Kim, thank you for your support and friendship - I hope you have a great day Birthday!

This card was inspired by Kristina Werner’s "A Year in Card Class." I really have a thing for patterned paper and love embellishments and this card has both so it was very fun to make! The patterned paper I used is from Making Memories Noteworthy kit. I also purchased some Noteworthy 3-dimensional stickers that coordinate with the paper kit. My friend Julie is coming over this weekend to make some cards and I thought it would be fun to see if we could make our own embellishments similar to the ones I purchased. So, the flower embellishment on the card above is what I ended up making. I took some of the packaging from the Noteworthy flower stickers to create the large flower background and used the Circle Scallop punch from Stampin’ UP! to get the flower shape. Then I used some of the Noteworthy paper and some glitter to make the colored flowers that are layered on the top. Here is a pic of the Making Memories Noteworthy stickers and then a close up of the one I made.

So do you think they look similar?

That's all for today. Hope you come back and visit often.
