Flip Cards are amazing... See how easy with these Two New Dies..

With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!

Where have I been??? Well... Hawaii of course!!

Amazing how time flies when you are having a fabulous time on vacation with your family.... we most definitely needed one and we took it... we had a blast every day and took advantage of every hour we could there.  Here is my favorite pic.  It was a bit windy that day and on the
East side of Oahu... wow, but made for some awesome surf. 
 

 

My other fav view from our balcony out to the ocean at Sunset... Looooooved it!!

 

 

Ended too soon!!! Oh well, maybe next year... wishful thinking... ridiculous expensive everywhere there.

 

Needed some cards!!!

You would think I have a ton of cards, well, not really and I like to keep my stash fresh, so... I set out to make some cards to have... need any?  Call me....

This card was inspired by Connie Tumm... she made the original version in Daffodil in a 5x5, but I modified it to a standard cards size and made it with different sentiments and lots of colors... I used most of the new In Colors... LOVE THEM!!!!  Hope you like them. 

 

I used a New Stamp set: Too Kind... this is becoming my favorite of the floral ones... it's a two step stamp set that has endless possibilities...   I had fun making these with my friend Amelia that came over last night... we whipped these out in no time!!

 

New Catalog samples... Birthday Candles

I decided to make a card a day.... yesterday I made 12 cards to sell... they are so beautiful.... I will put up pictures soon.  I have modified some that were made by others and made them my own.  This Birthday Candles card is my own.... I used new product and some old, but I love it... it is very clean and crisp... hope you like it.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana (new InColor) and Whisper White

Stamps: new Candles Jumbo Wheel and Remembering  your Birthday saying, retired set: Crazy for Cupcakes for balloon background

Other: From lasts years Holiday Mini: Merry Minis punch pack for the candle... it's actually a xmas ornament, but I used it upside down and perfect flame!!!  These are still available to purchase: item number: 126882... I used the decorative label punch to highlight the sentiment

I used dazzling diamonds glitter for the orange candle and daffodil delight binding ribbon to wrap the candles in.  I also sponged around the sentiment with Daffodil Delight Ink and rolled the candles in Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay in the background.  I used Pumpkin Pie for the one candle.  I popped up the center row of candles using dimensionals (foamy sticky pop ups) as with the sentiment.  I stamped the inside with the coordinating stamp that goes with this sentiment.  Great new Birthday stamp set... here is a pic of the supplies used:
