Aloha, all! It's time for another SUO Challenges project- actually we're a bit late because I'm just now returning from my travels and I'm the one who sends the final SUO Challenge blog post on its way! Thankfully, I prepared my project for this week's challenge before I … [Read more...] about Dimensional Fun!
Handmade Get Well Card
The Eighth Stamp!
Aloha, all! Over the weekend, I mentioned that there was one of the eight stamps in the Stampin' Up! Stamp Set, Everybunny, that wasn't necessarily related to Easter. And here it is! Are those little mushrooms cute or what? While I'm hoping that the Everybunny set will stick around in the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book … [Read more...] about The Eighth Stamp!
Masculine or Feminine?
Aloha, all! One of the groups to which I belong challenged us to use the same stamp set to make both a masculine and a feminine card. Well, that felt just too easy to me, so I challenged myself a few steps further - use the same colors, paper and layout, too! The stamp sets I chose - yes I chose TWO stamp sets - are new this year: Perfectly Penned … [Read more...] about Masculine or Feminine?
Get Well Wish!
Aloha, all! I hope that everyone who's reading this today is feeling just wonderful! On the other hand, it seems that on any given day of the year there's someone I know who could use a little bit of a pick-me-up card, and quite of few of those could sure use Get Well Wishes. I always try to have at least one Get Well Card around for just those … [Read more...] about Get Well Wish!
A Busy Day in the Craft Room!
Aloha, all! This week is just another that is packed full of places I have to be and meetings I have to attend. Yesterday was no exception, but I didn't have to get out of the house until 3 pm. So I worked my best at getting as many projects as possible done before then. I had four cards that I HAD to make - three for my husband to use for some of … [Read more...] about A Busy Day in the Craft Room!
Paper Ribbons – “Sage” Green
Aloha, all! One of the best moments of every month is the day I receive my copy of Card Maker Magazine in the mail. I can only hope that I've gotten the mail early in the day so that I can sit right down and go all through it. This WEEK I've had TWO best moments. Not only did I get the June issue of the magazine (on schedule because we get things … [Read more...] about Paper Ribbons – “Sage” Green
Get Well Wishes!
Aloha, all! As I'm writing this I'm starting to develop a bit of a cold and I sure could use a Get Well Card myself! But as this gets published for the weekly Divas Coffee Break Design Team challenge, I'm likely all better and on my way to a family wedding! The Divas Challenge this week is another color challenge. For … [Read more...] about Get Well Wishes!
A Fun Class Project!
Aloha, all! Today and tomorrow I'm going to share the greeting cards that we made at my Stamp-A-Stack class session last week. For this class, we all made 6 copies of each of the cards, and got them done in record time! My group had asked for some Valentine Cards and also for some Thank You cards (very much needed after the holiday … [Read more...] about A Fun Class Project!
Stampin’ Up!’s Oh Sew Suite
Aloha, all! I love Stampin' Up!'s cute title for the group of products in the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog that includes all kinds of sewing images. The group is the "Oh Sew" suite. Sweet! Today I got my first package of the Designer Paper Set, Sweet Stitches, and went right to work on it. I wasn't sure it … [Read more...] about Stampin’ Up!’s Oh Sew Suite
One More Flower Fancy Card
Aloha, all! You may recall that a couple of days ago I shared a card that I made for the Divas Coffee Break Design Team that used the stamp set Flower Fancy. I was grumbling because I really wanted to be focusing on Christmas Cards. Well, maybe not grumbling, but.... Well, contrary to my recently made resolution to put everything back … [Read more...] about One More Flower Fancy Card
Feeling a Little Perkier
Aloha, all! Finally today I'm feeling a bit more like doing some craft work. For the last several days I've really had a bit of a struggle feeling like doing anything but just sitting, reading, and sipping tea. But today I'm back into the groove a bit. In fact, as I was setting today's project up for its photo opp, my darling husband came … [Read more...] about Feeling a Little Perkier
