Birthday Blast & More

Today I’ll be sharing with you the projects and Make ‘n Takes that I made for my FREE Sale-a-bration Celebration Event that was held earlier this month for those who qualified during Sale-a-bration. I had a lot of fun pampering everyone – after all I couldn’t do this without each and everyone of you!

Here is my classroom all set up and ready to go.

Everyone had a spot with their treats and projects ready for them.

I made these cute little name tags using the Cool Treats stamp set (142982) so they could find their spot.

And everyone received these cute little post it note easel holders using the retiring Papillon Potpourri stamp set (132058/123759), Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406), Elegant Butterfly Punch (127526) and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (141497).

I had a lot of fun making these post it note easel holders. (I’ll miss this stamp set with it’s coordinating punches it has been one of my go to sets. So many uses!) I found these sticky notes for them once again at Target – don’t you love their dollar spot? If you missed it and would like to learn how to make these holders I have a quick Video Tutorial HERE.

I also made these little chocolate holders using the retiring Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper (141630).

It was sooo easy to whip up a batch of these. And after all who doesn’t enjoy a little chocolate?

I simply cut the Designer Series Paper into 3″ x 6″ strips, added a bit of Snail across the top and then folded them in half. Stamp my sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set (140273) and used the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag. Then I tied some Baker’s Twine in different colors around the top and slipped in a Ghiradelli Chocolate. Yep! That quick and easy!!!

And what did we make? 6 cards!  This first card got my daughter’s seal of approval so I had to include it. LOL! It uses the Birthday Blast stamp set (142854/142866).

This second card uses the retiring Playful Palette Designer Series Paper (141657) and the Grateful Bunch stamp set (140691) along with it coordinating Blossom Punch (140612).

And this final card uses the retiring Party Animal Designer Series Paper (142823) and Balloon Adventures stamp set (142823) from the Occasions Catalog. It’s got such great sentiments in the set.

There is still time to these wonderful retiring products, but it is while supplies last now. You can find them in my Online Store.

B.Y.O.P Grad

Spring is here and Graduations started in early May in our area. So today’s card is one that I made for a cousin’s son who recently graduated from college in South Carolina.

This card was quick and easy to make and I love the special touch the Red Glimmer Paper adds.

On a personal note as I mentioned earlier, our daughter, Kaitlin graduated  from GCSU on May 6th with her Music Ed degree and is now back home for the summer. While I’m loving having her here I know it won’t be for long.

Larry and I are so proud of her and her accomplishments and think she is going to make a great teacher. She is a natural and loved everything about her student teaching semester in Morgan County.

After the ceremony and a final goodbye in Milledgeville, we loaded the truck to head home. On the way we stopped and had a celebration dinner at Kani House, one of her favorite places to dine. It was great to have the family together to celebrate this special day.

Now it is on to job interviews and new adventures for Kaitlin – the 4 years have flown by!

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the projects and pillow gifts I made for my Sale-a-bration Celebration earlier this month.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: B.Y.O.P. (137159)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink (140931)

Paper: Red Glimmer Paper (121790), Real Red (102482), Basic Black (121045), and Very Vanilla Card stock (101650)

Accessories: Swirly Scribbles Thinlits (141497) and Large Numbers Framelits Dies (140622)

And here is a wonderful fancy fold card that Jolene gave me.

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink (140931) and Dapper Denim Classic Ink (141414)

Bella & Friends

Puppies and kittens, oh my. Who can resist these adorable little friends? I know in my house spring always brings requests from our daughter, Kaitlin for a new addition to the family. LOL!

And since she mentioned it again the other day, it reminded me I had some wonderful cards I found in my office I meant to share with you that I received in swaps.

This first card is from Janet who used our Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138434) along with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder (137364).

And Marni gave me this card using the classic black & white combo

These next two cards Aparna created.

I thought the way she used the circle punch to create the cut out in the corners was clever. And the Moroccan Designer Series Paper (141645) teamed up with Delight Dijon card stock gives this card a more masculine feel.

And finally a couple of cards from Annmarie –

Quick and easy designs that you can make multiples of. And how about this card she made using the Pretty Kitty (141861/141864) and the retiring Decorative Label Punch (120907)?

Like I said, who can resist these sweet little faces?

Fun with Swirly Birds

Swirly Birds is one of those stamp sets that took me a bit to add to my wish list, but with all the wonderful swaps I’ve received I couldn’t wait to finally get my hands on it. Want to see some of the swaps?

This first card from Linda is a movement card or slider card that uses the Shooting Star Framelits Dies (141820).

I hated to see the Shooting Star Framelits on the list Retirement List since they are such fun and so easy to use. But good news you can still get them while supplies last! You can click HERE to see my video tutorial and other projects using this fun product.

The Swirly Birds (141749) and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (141497) are really VERY versatile.

And if you’re a Mickey Mouse or Disney fan how about these cards?

They are all great cards, right? I couldn’t pick a favorite really. How about you?

Suite Sayings

I made this bold, quick and easy card for recent Thank You’s that I sent out, but the layout is one of those versatile layouts you can use for any occasion!

I had fun with lot’s of with the different bold patterns in the Moroccan Designer Series Paper.

Don’t you love these type of layouts? Simply change the sentiment and you have a great birthday card! For this one I used the Tin of Cards Stamp Set (138946). I’m really sad to see this set go since I love the size and font used for the sentient.

I left off the ribbon from this one since I needed a masculine birthday card.
