Tea/photo/gift card Card


Ok, so I live in a family of pack rats, I'll just tell you this right up front. Even my kids are pack rats. I am trying to be a pack rat in recovery, lol! So yesterday when I was cleaning in our great room (which doubles as a stamping room, rec room, and living room), I found a box of business sized and personal letter sized envies my 16 y/o son brought home from a yard sale he was helping at. These envies didn't sell, probably because they were all sealed shut from the humidity at some point! Useless right? I can through them away, right? Nope, I remembered that I could use the business sized ones for the Cocoa cards and not even have the lick the yucky glue to seal them before cutting them up! Ok, so I can throw the small envies now. Nope! Brilliance strikes and I figure I can make little cocoa cards for tea packets. Well, I had to sit down and make some almost right away and guess what. You can fit wallet sized photos, gift cards, money, and/or a little note in these things! So cute!



Here it is with a packet of tea and a couple of wallet sized pics of my daughter in her Junior ROTC uniform from a couple years ago. Yes, my totally hippie daughter was once in Junior ROTC and actually considered joining the military. :) I did a video tutorial for the Cocoa card here.


Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas


Paper: cream colored 3-5/8"x6-1/2" envelope, Very Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss


Ink: Basic Brown, Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive and Ruby Red with Aquapainter, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie markers


Accessories: Riding Hood Red ribbon, Aquapainter, paper crimper, stapler.



First cut your envelope into 2 pieces, one 3" long and the other 3-1/2" inches long. The longer piece will fit into the shorter piece.


For the card "front" (the shorter piece)I watercolored the image with Ruby Red classic ink, and then on this one I used the Old Olive and Real Red markers to color the branches and berries. I did a different one watercoloring the branches with Old Olive and I liked that effect better. I highlighted the berries with a dot of white gel pen. Inked the edges of the image pieces with Basic Brown. Adhered the ribbon all the way around with Tape Runner, then adhered image to card.
Now, I stamped the branch shadow image in Kiwi Kiss repeatedly on front and back of the longer piece. Run piece trough paper crimper. Take an approx. 2" long piece of ribbon, fold in half over closed end of piece, and staple it on.


All Done!

November Stamp Club Projects

Well, today was our Stamp Club meeting and Thanksgiving is definitely the theme! We did a little turkey I saw here originally by JHWorksforstamps on SCS, he is such a cute little guy! We also did a place card for the table using the Top Note die for the Big Shot, a scrapbook page for Thanksgiving, and a little Christmas pocket card to get the juices flowing for next month.

If you haven't put your order in yet, please contact me ASAP so we can get our stuff before the Christmas crafting season really gets rolling :)

The Special this month is on all of the Rub-Ons: spend $20 and you can buy any and all of the Rub-Ons for 20% off! There sure are alot of cute rub-ons in the Mini and in the catty this year!

On to the projects, I'm sure you all want to see them :)

This is our cute little turkey, and there are no stamps used in this project! It's all done with punches!
Here is the place card with my son's name on it :)
And the Thanksgiving layout. These pictures are from 4 years ago, can you believe it!


And this is the Cocoa card, very cozy looking isn't it!
Now, I'm working on doing some video tutorials, if I can get my camera to record for more than 3 mionutes at a time! Wish me luck! I think this will end up being in 3 parts though.

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack

Well, it is that time of year and everyone is getting into the spirit! I have put together a card making class for November 15th from 1:00-5:00pm at the Quilted Loon in Bemidji.
Each card kit will be enough supplies for 3 each of these 5 designs and will cost $25. I will have everything at the class for stamping and embellishing your cards. Sounds fun doesn't it!
These are the cards we will be making, except for the pink angel I guess. I have been told that pink is not very Christmassy and since these are for others to make and give away, I should really listen to that advise huh, lol!


So we will make this blue angel instead. You can't really tell in these pics, but there is glitter on the angel's wings, on the snowflakes on the snowman card, and on the house, dove, and snowflake on the "balls" card as Mary calls it, lol! We will be able to add some colored glitter to the the Swirled tree also, if you would like.

Come join me for a very productive and fun Saturday afternoon. Tell me what you think and leave a comment!
