St. Patty's Day treat

Here's a nice treat you can give to coworkers and family to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  It is so fast!  All you need is Wild Wasabi ink and cardstock as well as Whisper White cardstock, the 1 3/4 inch circle extra large punch, the 2 3/8 inch Scallop circle extra large punch and some adhesive to go with your Lucky Shamrock stamp (item #121939) from the Occasions Mini Catalog. 



1.  Stamp the image in Wild Wasabi ink on white cardstock, punch out with circle punch.
2.  Punch out 2 Wild Wasabi extra large scallop circles.  Attach the stamped image to one of them.
3.  Use adhesive to attach scalloped circles to the front and back of a chocolate peppermint patty. 


Enjoy!

Trying to post a new way

Thought I'd try to post from my new iPhone. I will be posting some pictures of new projects this weekend.

Quick and easy Sale-a-bration card

Here is a super easy card to make-I used punches, the brights Designer Series Paper Stack (#117155) and coordinating cardstock.  You can make tons of these with the neutral cardstock base-in this case I used Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip.  I stamped a greeting from a Sale-a-bration stamp set called So Happy For You.  I made lots of variations of this card but have already used up a couple of the cards for several different occasions.  The trick is to make them up ahead of time and then stamp the greeting you need at that particular time.

Valentine's decoration


I didn't have to work today so I'm trying to clean up the house.  I started to take down the Valentine's decorations and decided to show you a project I made last year.  It's a banner using the Big Shot pennant die (item # 113483).  I cut the pennants out of pink and red felt and then glued wooden letters that I painted to the felt.  As always the projects I make have to be really quick and easy to do-and this definately fit the bill!

Cub Scouts banquet

Yesterday we went to a Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet where Drew crossed over from cub scouts to boy scouts.  It was an awesome day-Drew has participated in cub scouts from  the very beginning.  He started when we lived in Virginia as a first grader and even through our moves to three different states has kept on going! 

This is one of the few pictures we were able to take before the batteries died=(

Today I'm sharing another picture of something my secret sister sent me.  Notice the ribbon threaded through the organdy bag?  How about those cuet little buttons that were sewn onto it?

Favorite card

This is one of my very favorite cards that came in my secret sister box! 
Once again she used the SAB DSP and in the picture below you can see how she made the cute bow using the oval punches and attached them to the back of the card.  I have also included a picture of the inside that holds a gift card.


This is so cute, I will be making some of these myself real soon!  When I make some I will try and remember to get a better picture of the gift card holder piece and post some dimensions.
