Time to Celebrate.... with a little Blog Candy!

Well, time sure flies!  I started my blog 2 years ago this month and I just recently surpassed 150K hits.  (Well, more or less, since the counters went on strike last summer and I had to guess where I was at and restart it.)

Anyways, I just wanted to spread a little happiness and what's better than some papercrafts???  That's what it's all about, isn't it?  The papercrafts, that is.  LOL  (I seem to be the one who always gives the handmade gifts, but I know how much I would love to receive them, too.)  So how about it?... want to win some handmade cards from me?

I made these puppies yesterday.   Love how cute they turned out.  The inspiration for this set comes completely by a set made by Andrea Walford, so I can't take credit for the design.  She creates the most awesome stuff and I always wonder where she gets her ongoing inspriration from.

These cards are 4" x 8 1/2", which is a rather odd size, so I also made 4 envelopes to give away with the set.  (Envelope instructions will be at the end of this post.)

And since it's my 2 year blogaversary, I am also offering the winner of my blog candy 2 of my templates of your choice.  You know, the ones that you would normally "buy-a-card-and-get-a-template-for-free" type of templates.  (You can see my templates by clicking on Vicki's Templates under Labels on my sidebar.)

To enter, all you need to do is leave me some LOVE in the form of a comment at the bottom of this post, and I'll enter your name in the draw.  This blog candy will close at midnight Mountain Time on March 31st and I'll draw the winner on April 1st (yes, April Fools day)! 

Don't forget to check back on April 1st to see if you won.  Good luck everyone!  :)

(I'll keep this post at the top of my blog until then.)

Here's the close-ups of the cards in the set:

***  For those of you who may be interested, I made the envelopes out of 81/2" x 11" 32 lb. copy paper (heavyweight).  With the shorter side at the top of my ScorPal (actually I used my Fiskars paper cutter for this), I scored it at 3" and 7 1/16", turned and scored at 1 1/8" in from each side.  Cut the side tabs at the top and bottom off from each side, leaving just the middle tabs in place.  Fold up and glue the larger bottom part of the envelope to the side tabs.  Use 1/8" ScorTape strip(s) along the very edge of the top flap(s) to be able to seal the envelope(s), leaving the protective cover on.

Top Note Card Boxed Set

While I was at a Scrapbooking Retreat Weekend a little over 2 weeks ago, I made this card box set.  The instructions for the Top Note Tag Box can be found on Andrea Walford's blog HERE.

The cards are a little on the plain side for what I'm used to doing.  I had absolutely no mojo that weekend and hardly got anything accomplished. 

Note:  Even though you can't see them in the pics, what I did for the blue buttons was used Heavenly Blue and sponged Twilight ink onto them to make them match.

:)

Miracle Double Pocket Card

I still have some of my Miracle kit left over, even after creating this.  I made this adorable Double Pocket Card using instructions by the very talented Beate Johns which she shares on the Splitcoaststampsers website.  You can find her instructions HERE.

I kept mine pretty basic, but next time I think I'd like to pull out my sewing machine and do some stitching on the edges.  I kept the tag blank simply because I'm not sure who I will give this to or what I'd like it to say yet.  And I made mine basically as a card front/postcard style.  If I decide I need to write more than I can fit on the tag, then I can easily glue it onto a base, but I like it as is.  :)

Coming to mind just now is my sister's birthday that is coming up next month.  She loves to read and loves her coffee, so I think this would be the perfect card to mail to her with a gift card(s).

Miracle Birthday Card

Lovin' the paper that I had left over from my Miracle 6x6 Accordion Album I posted yesterday.  I just got this birthday stamp set called Candlelight this past week and had to put it to use.  I tucked the candle ends in under the bottom layer, but pop-dotted them on the upper parts to create some dimension.  So fun!

Sneaky-Type Peek at a new "Miracle" kit...

Back Cover

There's a pretty little kit called Miracle from CTMH that will be coming available starting April 15th - May 31st to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month in May!  As a Consultant, I was able to get my hot little hands on a kit a little sooner. 

I was going to make the 2 layouts shown in the kit, and then still have some leftovers to create some cards with, but I completely changed my mind and made this adorable 6x6 Accordion Album.  Didn't it turn out CA-UTE???  lol  And I still have leftovers (including metal embellishments, buttons, MyStickease, B&Ts, Cardstock, Chipboard pieces) to create some cards with! 

The only things I added to the Miracle kit to make my album was the 6x6 Accordion Album, about 3 sheets of Chocolate cardstock, and Clear Sparkles, oh and the ink to sponge my Irresistables Dimensional Elements chipboard pieces.  Pretty cool, if I say so myself.  ;)

Such a great idea, that I HAD to share!

Okay, so I was so excited to read about this, that I had to share with all of you!  While blurfing I came across Teneale Williams blog and found this post about Stampin' Up wheels.  It totally caught my interest because I had bought both handles and 4 different wheel stamps and have really never used them.  I even bought the wheel guide, which is still in it's packaging.  Anyways on to the important part and the reason why I am so excited... Teneale talks about and shows you how to remove the rubber stamps from the wheel AND then how to turn them into flat stamps, which I have to say would be so much more easy to use.  Awesome!

After reading her post, I literally put my laptop down and ran to my scrap room, dug out my wheels, and cut them apart.  Now where did I put my EZ Mount???  I will have to stop by the LSS today to pick some more up because I can't seem to find where I put it.  Hopefully they have some in stock.

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that doesn't use their wheels... am I right???

Anyways, I just had to share.  {{{GRIN}}}

Bookmarks with Holders

I saw an awesome bookmark and holder on Jill Hilliard's blog HERE and wanted to make these for my customers who placed orders with me this month.  I tend to give 3x3 thank you cards, but wanted to change it up a little.  I used their (first name) initials on the covers to personalize them.  Hopefully they will like them.  ;)

Here's how I made them:

Cover:

• Start with a 6x9 piece of CS, and with 9" side at top of ScorPal, score at 1", then turn so 6" side is at the top and score at 1 3/4" and 4 1/4".
• Use scissors to cut the two little square corners off.
• Use a 1 1/2" circle punch to punch a half circle from the top front side of the holder.
• Fold along score lines and adhere one of the long sides to the other long side.
• Fold up bottom flap and adhere.
• Decorate as you wish.

Bookmark:

• CS size is 2 1/4" x 8"
• 1 1/2" circle punch
• grommet, hole punch and set grommet with Crop-A-Dile
• Ribbon:  11"

I also have to take this time to tell you all how overwhelming all your kind comments are... in a good way!  lol  Sometimes blogging can seem like a waste of my time, like I'm just talking to myself, but I have to say that running this latest blog candy and reading all your nice comments has helped me see that I'm not blogging just for myself, but for all of you as well. 

I love to teach and share my knowledge, but I've always felt an overwhelming panicky shyness when teaching in front of people, so I try to stay away from that (even though I'm getting a little less panicky), but blogging gives me a way to show and teach and share with you all what I LOVE to do. 

Thanks for hanging with me!  I feel blessed!


So with that said, I made one more bookmark that I'm adding to the Blog Candy that's up for grabs.   Don't forget to leave a comment on my Blog Candy post to be entered in my draw.   :)

Beautiful Harmonie 12x12 Acrylic Album

While away last weekend at a scrapbooking retreat, we created a 12x12 album for our class.  Usually Lynette gets us to create fabulous mini books/albums, but she switched it up a bit to this.  Everyone loved the class and left with a completed album (minus the photos).  I just need to find the right pictures to fill my new book and then I'll share the insides too!

Acrylic albums are so reflective that I found it hard to get a good picture of the cover.  The sides are scalloped and the front detail is etched.  The bird and a couple of other little details are cut out of the cover.  Beautiful!

The ablum is made by Harmonie, a company I believe based in Quebec, plus all the papers and embellishments we used were from the same line/company.

One of our embellishments we used is this chipboard (or pressboard) tree by Harmonie, that we got to paint with Smooch.  Love that product. 

That's all for now.   I have to head off soon to a Parent/Teacher interview.  Spring Break starts tomorrow afternoon here.  Yay!  :)

OMG, I'm so excited...!

Looky what I just purchased online...

plus an extra air can!  Now I have to wait for it to arrive... 

U Rock... {Cards For Men challenge No. 6}

I stamped, paper-pieced and Copic coloured this card.  It was a lot of fun to make.  This stamp set is a long-retired set from CTMH.  And the guitar is pop-dotted for added depth.

Happy Spring... {Stamping Royalty Challenge #10}

This time it's a GREEN challenge over at the Stampin' Royalty blog. 

I didn't have any stamps related to St. Patty's day, so I decided to make a fun pinwheel card.  I sanded the base cardstock to give it a soft, cool effect.

For the pinwheel, I started with a 3x3 piece of double sided B&T, then marked my centerpoint with a pencil.  I drew light pencil lines from the outer corners towards the centerpoint to approximately 3/4" from the most centerpoint, then cut along the lines with scissors.  The next step is to use a paper piercer or a 1/16" hole punch to make holes on every other point, fold them in and fasten with a brad.  I also like to add a punched circle piece to hide the ends.  Easy, peasy.  ;)

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):

Paper:  Topiary, Ponderosa Pine, Colonial White CS; B&T from Emporium

Stamps:  Springtime, Simple Stitches, Legendary Moments

Happy Bird-day

Heard the SWELL News...

A friend of mine (who will be turning 41 this summer) just started telling people she's 3 mos. preggo... Another friend of mine was the one who told me and after I stopped laughing so hard (ROTFLMAO), I was like, "SERIOUS???  OMG! Thank goodness it's not me!"   LOL

Sorry peeps, but I'm closer to the being-ready-to-be-a-Grandma stage than being-a-new-(again)-MOM stage...   Actually, I think I'm still in shock!

Anyways, I just HAD to make her a card and thought I'd share my creation... the button didn't photograph well, as it actually matches the blush colour.  TFL

A Posy A2 Card Box Set of 4

Another fun, yet fairly quick project to put together.  This card set uses a CTMH A-size stamp set called A Posy (retails for $9.25 CAN).  Awesome price for a terrific little set!

To get the flowers polka-dotted, I stamped the flowers first, then inked up a polka-dot background stamp with chocolate ink and just kissed my clean Posy flower stamp onto it.  Then I simply stamped the polka-dots onto my stamped flowers.  Easy peasy, especially when using clear stamps and blocks!  ;)

Easter Wishes Chocolate Treats...

I have been a bad poster lately...  I have projects to share, some already even photographed, some still needing to have their pictures taken.  I've been a little pre-occupied with work, income taxes for myself, for my twin daughters, for my father, dealing with my Dad's investments, renewing my GICs, house building decisions... the list goes on. 

All that and the hearing is going to be held tomorrow in regards to the guy who beat up my aging father almost 2 years ago.  I have to decide if I'm going to attend, since I'm the only family member here.  I find it rather stressful... the guy who did it is not all there, if you know what I mean, with a history of mental illness.  So do I really want to sit in a courtroom with him?  No, not really.  Anyways, I'm feeling a tad stressed with my decision.

I'll get to see my Dad this weekend.  It's been about 4-5 weeks since my last visit.  He's not doing very well, so I'm eager to see if he remembers me this time.  Last time there was not even an inkling... I was just a stranger to him.  Boy, dementia sucks!  I really hope to not end up that way.  Please let me go quickly!

Sorry for the downer of a post...  maybe I should go eat all the chocolates in this Easter treat bag before I head off to work!  Chocolate makes everything better, doesn't it?  lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the bag itself, I used an old Coluzzle template that my BFF gave me.  She was going to sell it at a garage sale at our LSS last summer, but I quickly grabbed that puppy up along with another one that I think makes a little box. 

Other than that, for supplies I used White Daisy and Petal CS, Paper Garden B&T, Happy Easter and Springtime stamp sets, Blush, Petal and Black inks, Hollyhock dashed grosgrain, paper flowers from Big Pinks and Spring Blossom.  The buttons are non-CTMH from my stash and the mauve keytag chain is from my LSS.  Oh and  I also used my circle Coluzzle to cut the window and some transparency from my LSS, too.  I filled a little clear bag, that CTMH used to sell, with Hershey's Kisses and tied it closed with more of the Hollyhock ribbon.
