So, This is what I was doing!

I have been busy, busy, busy! I have a wedding invitation order, had some website sales including one of 44 cards, then I had to check in with the local flower shop on Saturday and...."We would like 50 Mother's Day cards...can you get them here by Monday?" Um..ok! I also had a few other little sales here and there......So I stamped ALL weekend, and I loved it.
This is one of the cards I made this evening. I am completely in love with the fact that I can now make bigger cards since I found a supplier for bigger sized card wrappers & envelopes. This card is a 6x6, complete with a ivory linen envelope and wrapper. I used a Stampin up kit for this one. I have had it sitting around forever so I am finally getting some use of it (while also learning to use up stuff I have...Man it's good to actually get rid of some of it and in a super pretty way)
I cut the Soft Sky textured cardstock 6x12 and scored it down the center. Then I used a peice of the river rock texture c/s and fixed it to the left hand side. Next I cut a peice of the pink DSP from the kit and used the spiral punch up the side.

After that, I used some of the c/s sticker borders to add some fun color and pattern. Then I used a reverse peice from the pink, which is the brown, river rock & soft sky pattern, and placed it accross the top after I tied some spring moss & aqua mist twill from Papertrey Ink.
Next, I layered the prima paper flowers and added a button from Basic Grey.
Then I finished off the card with the squares layered with another strip of c/s sticker and stamped the sentiment from "Pond Life" & the thing-a-ma-jig (yeah, I don't know what it is...lol) from the B&C Circles set, Both from Papertrey Ink. Last, but not least, I added a pearl between the "thing-ama-jigs" and also three along the top corner of the card.
With all the stamping have been doing I should have a few posts for the next little while. Although I am not caught up yet with my orders, I will try and have a bunch of new things to show you leading up to the May Papertrey Ink Release, so check back often. Hope everyone had a fantastic week-end.

  1. Jewels,
    that is so pretty. I love how you "pieced" it all together. It is so pretty and has so many colourful elements. I am curious if you would perhaps share how you did your little on-line shop. I am interested in perhaps doing my own and I don't know where to start. If you want to contact me go to my CTMH website and all my contact info is there. www.mariec.myctmh.com
    I really hope to hear from you.

  4. Jewels....that is gorgeous. I didn't do any Mothers Day cards. I had to send my mom a non Mothers Day card. How sad is that? I should have bought one from you!!!
