There are no mistakes only opportunities for embellishments!

Matchbook Card Set



I am having a little fun with my favorite new Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper "Newsprint" I am pretty sure I could use this paper on every project I do for a year and wouldn't get sick of it! So cool and versatile.
These great little sets are being featured in my next class as well as in my August workshops...schedule yours today so you don't miss out!

My sister in stamping always has such wonderful ideas I used her card holder tutorial for the matchbook card holder...thanks Becky!

Goodies to Go


This lovely little treat holder is a great gift. The paper container is made to hold from soup to frozen items like ice cream but can just as easily tote cookies or even a manicure kit. Fun and simple project to make the day of anyone you want to bring a special treat to.

Scrappin' the Love!


These are my in-laws on their V-Day getway with friends.
I used my Digital Studio! to create this page. I can't even tell you how much I am enjoying the digital scrapbooking. So simple or not...depends on my mood and how far I want to go with a page. Use a ready made template and snap in my photos or like this page just run with it and have a good time. I love that I can start a page and flip flop on color and pattern and design without tapping my card stock supply! I can come back to it days later in a different mood and it can make all the difference in the outcome. For me it really takes the pressure off of making the best page for posterity sake! Do you ever feel that pressure when you sit down to work on a page? Well maybe it is just me but really I feel a since of freedom with digital and then I can make a hard copy in any size I want and make as many copies as I want...save it for a book or a calender project later. Okay so I am just really enjoying the versatility of using my Digital Studio! I am converted! But don't even try to take my cardstock and ribbons away from me!

So I figure it can only go uphill from here right! There must be a first if you are going to post video tutorials right?
This is a simple little card that can be dolled up with extra embellishment and a sentiment.
For this card I used...
Kraft Cardstock - 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5"
Chocolate Chip Cardstock - 4.25" x 2.5"
Regal Rose Card Stock 1.25" strip
En Frances background stamp
Rose Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
