Get Well Pink and Black...

Here are a couple of  "Get Well" cards I made with the homemade bandaid look I've come across.  I remember these being made a while back and never took the time to make one.  Until now...I've had 2 friends fall ill in the past couple of weeks so I decided to send them a small smile, letting them know that someone is thinking of them.  Plan on making similar ones for Therapy Card Nite soon. 

Chalked Fall Leaves...

This is a throw back card if there ever was one!  This layout came from one of the first swaps I was in back when I first started stamping.  I've kept quite a few of them over the (ahem...) 10 years I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Notice I said demonstrator, I've been stamping cards for 12 years now!!!  Hard to believe, I know.  I used pretty much the same things other than the stamps of course and I used the chalks to color in the leaves.  I really liked this card and I sit and wonder what took me so long to CASE it....

Are you ready for some football....

Here is a quick spinner football card I made to celebrate the 2014 Superbowl.  Although I will be basking in sunny Florida instead of the bone chilling Iowa, I will be looking forward to the game.  And what a great game it is going to be!  Bronco's or Seahawks....Would love the Bronco's to win for Payton Manning, but would like to see the Seahawks make a Superbowl win!!!  I am divided....

Preston's 13!!!

My nephew Preston is turning 13 today!  I can remember the day he was born and it's hard to believe he's already this old!!!   He has become a great young man who loves sports, especially wrestling.  He has made districts, state, and to nationals.  In fact he is off at a meet today...   He wants to go to Iowa State to wrestle as of now.  So I did his card up in Iowa State colors with a bit of a grunge look to it.  Although the background stamps are current, I did use some older number sets to make the 13.  Here's to hoping he has a great day!!!

The Scarecrow thanks you...

Took this idea for this card from a gift bag I got from my Secret Sister this past fall.  Can't tell you how much I love using the Big Shot and this card is ALL about the Big Shot!!!  From embossing to the die cuts you can't go wrong here!  And the fall season is all about being thankful!!!

Oh HAPPY DAY!

Was on splitcoaststampers a few weeks back and a "Boxed Card" was a featured tutorial that I just fell in love with.  So I made one up myself for a girl at work and it turned out great!  Had so much fun in fact that I am having a Stamp Camp featuring one of these kind of cards!  It folds down and fits into an envelope that you can make with Stampin' Up's Envelope Maker!!!  With this card I learned you need to make all the pop-up wow stuff in size with this card or the envelope won't work!!!  LOL

Ninja Turtle Invites

I made a few invitation cards for a special birthday boy  this past fall.  This isn't my idea sorry to say and I don't remember who's idea it was.  I thought it was cute and it matched his theme.  I did add a bit of my own touch to it.  I also decorated the envelopes to match each card.  From what I heard he loved them, he really loved them!!!
