Gingebread Holiday Planner

Good morning bloggers! I have one more project to share with you this week, and then I will get back to some cards!  I recently purchased some of the new notepads from Papertrey Ink so that I could make some of these cool lists!  I love making lists, and how fun to have some place to jot down your holiday notes. I always have so much on my mind during the hustle and bustle of the season!  I used two Papertrey sets called Take Note and Holiday Button Bits.  I dug out my rick rack because I thought it would work perfectly on here! And I was sifting through my buttons to find the perfect ones for my project! You know how I feel about buttons!  Yahoo!  The paper is by My Minds Eye.  I love the colors and the patterns!  I couldn't resist putting a little gingham bow on the gingerbread!  LOL!  I hope you have enjoyed all of my projects this week!  I've been a busy little bee in my stamp shop!

Another pocket card

Good morning bloggers! I hope you are having a fine time surfing this morning!  I'd like to share another one of my pockets with you today!  When I first bought this paper, I was thinking the images were way too big for a card. I figured I could use it for other projects. So when I was digging through my stash of holiday paper, it caught my eye!  I thought this would be perfect for a pocket, plus I was also working on making some Gingerbreads from the new button set from PaperTrey Ink!  What a perfect combination! I'm working on directions for my pocket cards so that I can share them all with you. They are really a lot of fun to play with. I've been making some different sizes and also some with everyday images on them. I like to send my friends some stamped images or other goodies once in awhile, and I find the pockets to work great for this! 

PTI Big Belly Santa

Good morning!  It's time to start thinking about Christmas!  I love digging into my holiday stash of papers and coming up with gifts for the season. As soon as the weather turns colder, I open up my gift-making workshop!  I like to give handmade items the best because people know you really put your heart into the gift! For this card I used the new PaperTrey Ink stamp set that coordinates with buttons. Seeing as I'm a big fan of buttons (dressed or not), I had to get this set!  I used Imaginisce paper and some rick rack to dress up the card!  I really enjoyed making this little guy!  Doesn't he look like Mrs. Santa has fed him well this last year?

PTI Birthday Blooms. . .

Good morning! I'd like to share another card that I made when Icolor challenged myself last weekend.  Color is a big deal to me when I'm stamping.  Color can give your cards different feels. So when I'm in a certain mood, I will pick a special color combination and go with that as a starting point. My friend, Daisy, sent me this cute little pom pom ribbon. Isn't that just the cutest?  She is always sending me little treats of button and ribbons and rick rack. She knows what I like!  Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am always trying to steal her goodies at our yearly retreat. Okay, I'm off topic! LOL!

I am really loving this color combo (Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, and Chocolate Chip). It's a lot of fun to make a full sheet of grid paper (thank you PTI) and then use the different pieces on your cards. It's also super easy!  Give it a try!

Thankful Tree

Back in August, I remember seeing a card with a tree stamped on it and then small buttons in the tree. I almost bought the stamp at the store that day, but something stopped me.  I'm glad it did because I made this card with my Papertrey ink stamp set.  It is the same idea!

I mentioned that I found a lot of goodies the other day at Archivers. Boy was that a fun shopping trip. I found these sweet little Making Memories Note Worthy tablets.  I seen my friend, Mish, make some cards the other day using them. Of course when I spotted them, I had to get a bunch of them and they were in the hot spot!  WOOHOO!  The designer paper is my Basic Grey. I love the colors!  Once I was done with the basic card, I decided to add some of my Rub-ons. I love how that added just the right amount of detail to my card.

Happy day to all!   

Fall Blooms

Good morning!  As I mentioned yesterday I have a ton of stamping projects to share with you. Did you know it was World Card Making Day on Saturday? Well I really took advantage of that HOLIDAY!  I had so much fun!

One of the things I challenged myself with was a color challenge. I chose Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate Chip.  What a nice Fall blend! The first thing I did was get out my grid stamp set from PTI. I am absolutely going to do this again when I want some color challenge action. Look how nice the colors pop!  Once I made the backgrounds it was so easy to stamp an image and then plop it on the card!  I have more cards to show you later on that I made with this challenge. Stay tuned!

For now, I am signing off to start my new week! Happy Monday to all!

Sun Tomorrow

Happy Tuesday to you all!  Wow is September every cruising by! 

I have another card that I made with the same set as yesterday's post. I love the Cheer factor of this set!  I like the tag stamp also that comes in the set. This card is a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card.  I used the Stampin' Up! Canvas background and then stamped the PTI flowers on the background.  The Sunshine and the rain boot are cut out and attached with foam tape.  I just had to add a button to the sun's center!  This card just feels comforting to me!  If I was having a bad day, I'd feel better!  

Enjoy your Tuesday!
