Sunshine Bag

How can I package some hand stamped cards if I want to give them to a really crafty person? Start out with a white lunch bag and feed the top through the largest of the Floral Frames Framelits Die for the fancy flap. Cut a piece of card stock with the next smaller die from the set and adhere to the flap. Add a couple of banners. Decorate the lower part of the bag with washi tape. For the focal point I stamped my favorite sentiment from the Feel Goods stamp set and cut it out with the medium sized die from the Floral Frames Framelits. Add a small flower punched with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack with a rhinestone for the bling. To make it pop even more I attached some Ruffle Stretch Ribbon to the back of my tag.
To make sure my bag stays closed I used a cloth pin that I spruced up with wash tape.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Ice Hockey Thank You Cards

I have said it before and I am going to say it again: I love MDS. Besides the fact that it is awesome for digital scrapbooking it provides endless possibilities for card making. Add an e-cutter into the mix and the sky is the limit.

For the design of the thank you notes for the ice hockey coaches I was at a loss since there are no ice hockey themed stamps in the current catalog. But the MDS download "Game Day Hockey" had the perfect stamp brush set for this purpose.

I recolored the ice hockey rink stamp and added some players for which I changed the opacity so they are not too overpowering. Then I cut the print out with my e-cutter and layered it on Basic Grey card stock. To the side I added some little banners that I have punched with the banner punch from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. The focal point of the card is the ice hockey player from the Game Day Hockey download that I printed on Whisper White card stock and cut out with my e-cutter. The picture really doesn't do the card any justice since I could not capture the motion in the photo. I attached the ice hockey player to the card with a spring so it wobbles when activated. So fun. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Gold Sequin Heart

This card was a little bit of extra work but I think sooooooooooo worth the effort. First I took apart the sequin trim. Then I arranged every single sequin on an adhesive sheet. I cut a heart    in the middle of some Whisper White card stock with the die from the Hearts Collection Framelits and layered my sequins behind it.  To add some color and more dimension I adhered a little Red Glimmer Paper heart. The ribbon is what I was left with when I had all the sequins taken off the trim.

I like how the reflections on this card change when you turn it in the light.

Pocket Birthday Card

Thanks for stopping by today. I am hoping you will find some inspiration for your projects on my blog. 
Gold is so very trendy in the stamping world these days. First I thought this color was out of my comfort zone but I have to admit I am on a roll. And since I like fancy folds I decided to stick my birthday greetings in a vellum pocket. I think it turned out really cute, hope you like it too.

New Blog Header

Wahoo, today I finally finished my new blog header. I am so excited. I have been wanting to do this for quite a while. If only the day had at least 100 more hours, LOL.
I designed it all with MDS - LOVE MDS. So many different things you can do with it: Blog headers, cards, scrapbooking pages (love doing it all digitally these days), sending files to my e-cutter - the possibilities are just so endless! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think. Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a great weekend.

Who Says That's All The Fox Can Say?

I hope you aren't getting tired of that stamp set because I am sure having fun with it. And who say the fox can only say one phrase? Once I discovered how simple it was to create my own sentiments with MDS the stamp sets all of a sudden become so much more versatile and I was on a roll.
