So long

2010-04-11T11:40:00.001-04:00

It has been so long since I've posted something on my blog. I'm still making cards but have not posted or taken pictures of them.

Here is my latest card. A colleague of mine is retirering after 20 years of service. I was asked to make a bigger card so everyone could sign. Took me a while but I decided to make a card that would have several pages.

2008-10-05T19:49:00.000-04:00

Here are a couple cards I made with the new set I just got CHEERS TO YOU. I like that they are more HIP than my usual cards. I made them watching Sex and the City - The Movie! Good inspirations. Next, I'll make one with a cosmopolitan.

Cold Nights

2008-09-16T18:28:00.000-04:00

As the summer is coming to an end, I rejoice to the thought of relaxing in front of the fire place. But on the other end, my card making studio is in the basement, so not so comfy when it's very cold. So on this, here is a pre-holiday season card.
I used from Stampin'Up!:
Card Stock : Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Red Ridding Hood, Kraft, So vanilla
Stamp Set : Winter Mail
Ribbon: Taffeta Red Ridding Hood
Accessories : Hodge podge in white, designer label punch.

Pocket Silhouette - Card

2008-09-10T20:06:00.000-04:00

Ok, this must be my favorite new set. This is coordinated with the Urban designer paper.

It looks like this set belongs in a Ikea catalogue. JUST LOVE IT!

Fall is coming

2008-09-07T18:57:00.000-04:00

I've just noticed that my front yard tree is at least 15% yellow... It's September!

Deer Friends Christmas Card - Video

2008-08-31T16:00:00.000-04:00

Cute 3 x 3 card. Fast, easy and looks good for any gifts. Could be used as a gift tag. I love using Kraft Card Stock for the holidays. It has that ''Christmas Past'' kind of look.

So here are the dimensions and the list of supplies used to make this cute little card:

Stamps Set: Deer Friends, Print pattern
Real red ink : used with Print pattern stamp
Chocolate chip ink : used with Deer Friends stamp
Red Ridding Hood : measure 2 rows of diamonds per 4 columns of diamonds
Kraft Card stock : 3 x 6 inches
Ribbon : Old Olive, about 4 inches
SNAIL adhesive
White gel pen

Neighborhood Wheel

2008-08-31T09:47:00.000-04:00

I love this wheel. It's my first time using it. I bought it because I had the matching set. So I decided, why not? I could not figure out what to do with it. But, as I saw in the new Fall Winter 2008 Stampin'up catalogue, I can make WE MOVED cards or thank you cards, as I did here.

I did the wheel on watercolour paper and used my stampin'up makers to do the rest. Easy and fun to make. I saw other cards where they take some IN THE FAMILY stamps and put little people. Cute!

Oh yes, I forgot, a bit of glitter on the coulds & grass.
