simple birthday card

I made this card for my brother-in-law. It is very hard to make masculine cards but the kraft and french roast card stock make it a bit easier. I love the family sentiments stamp set. It can be used for so many family members and when you have a big family like mine...it is awesome! 

Hurry though, it is on the retired list so once it is gone, it's GONE!

Happy Birthday

I made this card for my sis-in-law's birthday. I love the birds in the stamp set all for love. The background is made by using the rose in this set. This is a great set to have for all occasions.

Valentine Tags

These are the tags we made at Casey's workshop. Two of them are identical to the ones you will see in the Valentine catalog and the other was slightly adjusted. You could tie these onto a Valentine package.

What fun they were to make!

valentine treats

We made one of these cute treats at Casey's workshop the other day. Aren't these the perfect little treat for all your Valentine friends?! I just love them and so easy...the best way to use up some of your scrap materials!  sending my love stamp set is the perfect set for these treats. You can use junior mints or junior caramels...oh so yummy!

Casey's workshop

Setting up for Casey's workshop.

Projects are ready to go!

The ladies are hard at work...detail cutting to create our beautiful tags.(that are not pictured)

Casey and Regina taking a break from all the action.

These three were the ones to keep an eye on  :)

All packaged up and ready to go. 

What a fun night we all had. 

We missed having Shari there, but she had to work and

 also had a bad cold and didn't want to spread her germs. 

This is a great group of ladies and we share so much laughter together while enjoying our love of stamping. We also had a delicious spread of food that Casey prepared for all to enjoy!

friendship

I saw this recipe for friendship saying and thought I would turn it into a card for a friend of mine who has gone through some tough times lately. She is an inspiration to us all and I am thankful to have her as a friend.

I used a cup of good cheer stamp set for a sentiment along with a die cut heart.

xoxo

I made one like this the other day using cherry chevron and thought I would see what it looked like using grapefruit chevron....just as cute if not more!

sending my love

A CAS card made with amuse studio's "sending my love" stamp set.

fundraiser items

I put together many items for a fundraiser gift package. These items will be added to a gift basket for  LaSalle's auction.  The commitee for the fundraiser just needed the items  and they will create the basket. I hope to see what they did in Feb. and will try to post a picture of the finished product. I always enjoy making a basket for different fundraisers. It is fun to share amuse studio!

love is in the air...

I made a card similar to this for my sis-in-law's birthday. I wondered how the yellow sun would look on the shell cardstock...and the outcome proved successful!

The Valentine sets from amuse are AMAZING!

cute tags

You will find these darling tags on page 1 in the Valentine catalog by amuse studio. This is one of my favorite valentine stamp sets. You can do so much with this set for any occasion.

with love

I know you might be getting tired of these CAS cards, but I just love them.

Here is one I made with my new punch from Martha Stewart. I love how you can simply punch the sides of a card and it turns the card into elegance. The script background adds just a hint of color.

LOVE

 This is another CAS card made with amuse studio washi tape.

The word LOVE is from "at first sight" in the Valentine catalog. 

many thanks

I seem to like making CAS cards lately. I think they turn out so cute and there is not much work to them. I love the colors of this card. The envelope die and heart die made it easy. The words are from the soon to be retired stamp set "wild rose"

xoxo

 

I love how easy it was to make this Valentine card. I added some cherry chevron to the bottom of a 4 bar card and stamped the xoxo across the edge and added a heart using pop dots. 

So easy and so cute! 

thank you

This was a simple thank you card to make. I love the birds in the stamp set "all for love" 

I used bermuda cardstock in both solid and polka dot. The bird was stamped in eucalyptus ink. 

I love the simplicity of this card.

organization find

I found this great punch and glitter holder at T.J. Maxx last week. It works great for all my punches from Martha Stewart at a bargain price of $4.99!

she said yes...

Big day for Alison....Collin proposed and she said yes!

Red roses, champagne, and a beautiful ring!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Here is a simple winter thank you using the wild rose and peace on earth stamp sets from amuse studio. The wild rose is on the retired list so if you are interested in that set you better hurry before it is gone. I love using the kraft cardstock and french roast ink together.
