Door Prize

This was the little door prize I gave away at last Saturday's workshop.  It's made with the Scallop Envelope die For the Big Shot.  The box is the perfect size for 3"x3" cards and matching envelopes. The girls kept asking "You made that?"  It was kind of cool. ;-)

I wish I could remember where I saw the idea for the box, because I'd really like to credit the person I CASEd it from! I punched a ½ inch circle from Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper for the center of the Build-A-Brad.  The flower behind it was punched from paper in the same pack and inked on the edges with Melon Mambo.

For the first card, I cut out a flower from the TEA PARTY Designer Series Paper, added the pearl brad, and adhered it with Tombow Multi adhesive to the card front.  This card was didn't have a sentiment, so it could be used for any occasion.

 

A cute little quickie using DP from the same pack, plus a scrap of Certainly Celery DSP.  The sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo, then covered with vellum cut with the scallop punch and fastened with adhesive pearls.  (I really wish SU had these, in a variety of colors! That and more border punches and embossing folders.)

 

I love how quickly these little cards went together.  Just a little piece of DSP, some ribbon, a Styled Silver slide from the Hodgepodge Hardware set, stamp and punch the sentiment, et voila, done!

 

Okay, for this one I used some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, because I didn't want ALL the cards to be too bland, lol!

Fifth Avenue Get Well

I had some card kits left over from my last workshop and wanted to see what I could come up with for a get well card.  This is the first time I've inked up any of the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  I think it turned out okay - not great, but okay.

The idea for the embossed border was CASEd from Sandi McIver's brilliant idea here. I never in a million years would have thought of that on my own! 

The rose was stamped in Melon Mambo on watercolor paper, softened with blender pens, then outlined lightly with Crushed Curry and popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The ribbon is the reverse side of the Rich Razzleberry Polka-dot Grosgrain ribbon.  I love that you get two looks from one ribbon!  Swarovski crystals completed the card.

Razzle Mambo-ade Cupcakes

Mmmmmm, cupcakes.  Cupcakes with lots of frosting.  Cupcakes with lots of frosting and a cherry on top.  Fat-free, calorie-free, guilt-free cupcakes!  

We made this card at a friend's workshop a couple days ago (hi, Dani!).  The hostess had requested something using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, so this is what I came up with.  The Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper is just a riot of fun In Colors, and I have such a hard time deciding which side of the papers I want to use!  There are 12 designs to choose from, and I managed to work three of 'em into this card, so it satisfied my sweet tooth desire for lots of color. :-D

We spotlighted water coloring with the Classic ink pads and blender pens on this card.  This is really a fun technique that even novice stampers can do with great results.  Tomorrow I'll show you the other card we made. ;-)

Big Thanks in a Small Package

I am so grateful to the people who are supporting me in getting my fledgling SU business off the ground!  These little 3x3" Thank You cards are getting tucked into the bags of customer orders.  I'm thinking about adding a certificate for 10% off a future class if the order is particularly large, like over $50 in merchandise.
