Earth Quake Cake

This is a SUPER moist yummy and VERY sweet cake!! 

French Bread Pizza

Here's what we had for lunch at card class! French Bread Pizza!! 

So so easy!! Slice a loaf of French bread lengthwise. Place under broiler til nice & toasty (this avoids sogginess later). Spread with homemade or store bought pizza sauce. Then put your toppings on: 

Cheese

Sausage 

Pepperoni

More cheese

Olives 

Bake at 350• til browned on bottom & melted on top. 

Punchy Get Well Flower

Summer is a horrible time to be sick. But this card with this perky little flower will be sure to brighten the spirits of any ailing person!

I used the Extra Large Oval punch first he stem & sentiment, the Large Oval punch for the flower, the Decorative Label punch behind the sentiment & the Scallop Trim Border punch. Lots of layers but totally worth the extra time. So fun!

So Glad We're Friends

I had a sweet lady send me some awesome paper!! This is a sample of the patterns (& there's more) 

Aren't the just so old timey & beautiful?!?

Perfect paper for a card for good friend!

I think it speaks for itself....

Happy stamping!

Distressed Stars

Need a card for some one "rustic"? Here it is!! With Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke & Very Vanilla as our color scheme it's easy to go down the rustic trail!!

I sure hope the side ways greeting doesn't cause you much consternation as it did someone in class a few years ago...because it looks so so cool!!  I used Natural Composition Specialty Paper for the background & applied ink direct to paper to distress all layers & stars. 

Very easy fun card'

Starry Birthday

Here's a great fun kids card!!

Stars & primary colors are always a hit when you want a cool kids card. 

The "swoosh" is from the set Over The Rainbow & is perfect to set these stars shooting across this card. The finishing touch of three red brads just makes this card!

Use up random DSP & switch this card to butterflies or hearts to make it a bit more grown up or feminine. 

Like this one for instance!!

Fancy Fold Happy Birthday

Here's a really easy, really fun card that will make everyone one think you are amazing!! That's what you want, right?

It's a three panel card but uses the same amount of card stock as a regular standard card...just 1/2 of a sheet!

Cut your card base 4 1/4"x 11. Then score at 1 1/2", 3", 5 1/2", & 8". Accordion fold. Then cut your DSP panels. 

First panel: 1 1/4"x4"

Second panel: 2 1/4"x4"

Third panel: 2 3/4"x4"

Add embellishments being careful not to adhere to the panel behind. 😜

Isn't it cute?!? Think of this as an Easter card with a bunny peeking out of the second gold...Or a baby card with animals peeking out..a masculine card with tools falling out of each panel!! Limitless possibilities right here!!

Miss You...

Well it's August...Hey! How'd it get to be August?!? Wow! I blinked & the summer is nearly gone!!

Here's a "harvest-y" card with an interesting color scheme! 

Always Artichoke & Pear Pizzaz & Basic Black. So regal!

I used Fresh Fruit stamp set & for the sentiment I used Crazy About You stamp set. For the script over the pear I used the En Francais background stamp. Can you imagine the possibilities for this card?!? Switch it up & make it pastels for a baby....bright pinks for a teenage girl, summer brights with strawberries....

Man, I love this card...even if I did just discover it's August & nearly harvest time!!

Happy Framelits!!

PURPLE!! Won't "The Purple Lady" love this?

From the DSP pack Printed Blooms I pulled this lovely design paper & it worked very well with this design. 

Rich Razzelberry CS & ink with just a hint of Daffodil Delight. 

Lovely...just lovely!

Celebrate with Thoughtful Banners

This new punch is COOL!! 

And "Thoughtful Banners" stamp set is a really cool coordinating set to go with that punch. I used Blooms & Bliss DSP and Island Indigo CS. Since I didn't have Mint Macaroon ink I just used Old Olive & I think it coordinates just fine. Then for the flowers  I used the Petite Petals stamp set & the Petite Punch. Love the colors on this card!!

Nautical Thinking of You

I love this DSP!! It's called By The Shore & it is just WAAAAY cool!!

Here's the inside. I used the soft wavy side to look like...well ...water!!

Then I punched a 2 1/2" Circle for a window in the front of the card. To add a bit of "ocean-y depth, I stamped some coral from the By The Tide set so you can see it thru the window. I took the DSP with the little fish & cut out 7 little fish (really,it wasn't hard!) and put them hither & yon over & in the window. 

I then added some sequin "bubbles" to top it off! OH!! And the GREETING!? Isn't that layered look awesome?!? I used the Decorative Label, Curly Label & 2 1/4" circle punches. So cute!!

Hardwood Horse

Love these colors together! 

Soft Sky & Chocolate Chip make an amazing combo! 

I used the Hardwood background stamp on the Soft Sky to make a rustic back drop, then applied the ink "ink to paper" style to give dimension to the edges. A lovely masculine card!

Happy stamping!!
