Fun Friday

Hoppy Birthday Jack and Aaron! We had a super time at Chuckie Cheese last night celebrating their 4th birthday! I can not believe they are 4!!! If you want to make this hoppy fellow then head over to Heather's blog here:http://stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/2008/11/mr-hopping-frog.html She even has a video for you to watch.

Did you see him hop up? SO CUTE!

This is the inside of the card. I stamped a 4 and cut out. Then placed on a circle punch out. Colors are Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point, Real Red. I made this a tag card at the last minute and added a red star in his hands.

Have a magical day!

Thanks for all the comments! I love to read them! Megan did too!

This Thursday

I made these little tote/card sets for teacher gifts. I got this idea from my online class UStamp. I love the kraft paper from SU! and it goes with everything especially the Old Olive and Real Red. The cards are 3 x 3. Click on the picture to enlarge to see details or you can see the cards here: Do not forgot to stamp the little envelopes as well! Have a magical day! Cindy HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK AND AARON! My twin nephews are 4 today! I will post their cards tomorrow cause I know their mom checks my blog daily! LOL

Wacky Wednesday

I have to share more of the watercolor roses that I made for Mother's Day cards. I was so in love with the watercoloring part of these. The trick is to emboss the rose/lily image in white craft ink and clear embossing powder. Then watercolor them as you wish in the areas to create light and dark areas of the flower. Cut them out when dry. The card is 5 x 5 (stamped images all over the background) and the circle vase is #6 on the Coluzze circle cutter (3 3/8"). Colors used are Regal Rose, Cameo Coral and Black, then Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss and So Saffron. These fit a 5 3/4" x 8" envelope or you can make one like I did. I made these for my mom and mother-in-law for them to have their favorite colored roses forever displayed. Have a magical day! Cindy

This Tuesday

Here is the bag that I made to show a complete gift set at my last class of the desk collection. See my post on the class here: http://nutmegcreations.blogspot.com/2009/04/wacky-wednesday.html Jill Hilliard (the designer) also made this bag for a gift and I thought that I could case it as well. I really love the tag for the long bag.

I used a wine bottle bag instead and stamped the flowers all over the front in black and kiwi kiss. Added trim pieces (one punched in eyelet border) and taped onto bag. Added the tag which measured total 2 3/4" x 3 1/2". Cut the paper 2 3/4" x 7" and fold in half. Add layers - black 2 1/2" x 3 1/4", kiwi kiss 2 1 /4" x 3", white stamped image 2" x 2 3/4". Punch hole thru card on top left corner and tie with ribbon to bag. Add a ribbon bow to finish it off.

This is the card I made to match for my mother's birthday gift. It is a gift card holder as well. I will show you how to make it in a coming post where I made one for a wedding card.

Have a magical day!

Made for Monday

I AM BACK! I finally got caught up, I hope. It was a good week off. I had a peaceful and quiet Mother's Day. My hubby and girls made me breakfast and got me very funny Mother's Day cards which I got a good chuckle out of them. I did get my Mother's Day wish...3 hours to myself, no interruptions, in my room creating new classes! I hope all the moms out there had a special day as well!!! I did find time to be creative and make some things that I have been wanting to make. I have seen this watercolor rose all over Splitcoaststampers.com so here is my try at it. I am ADDICTED! Wait til you see what else I made! Watercoloring is my favorite technique so no doubt I would love it. This is totally cased from a talented lady on Splitcoaststampers but I added the "for you" on oval punch. You can see the tutorial to make these roses here: http://pattystamps.com/pattys_stamping_spot/2009/04/watercolor-roses-technique-and-video-tutorial.html Inside of card since writing on red paper is hard to see. Thanks for stopping by! I will be posting cards and projects all this week. No new Mickey news to report. As requested, I will show the gift bag I made to match the desk collection set from my recent class. Have a magical day! Cindy

Not my best week

I am going to have to take a break posting this week. I am feeling the blues and chills after a LONG weekend. But do not fear, I have been stamping some new cards and projects to share next week. I just need to take some pictures of them to post. Have a magical week! Check back on Monday! Cindy

Fun Friday

Sorry all! No pics today cause I ran out of time. I have so much to do today before I head out for our youth retreat in Blue Ridge. Have a magical day! Cindy
