Selling Crocheted Flowers?

This was an easy card to make, providing you don't count the fact that the 2 huge flowers are crocheted by hand! But seriously, they make this card! Strategically placed over the ribbon with a black onyx type brad in the middle. I also love the line of Hero Arts bling under the sentiment.

So I was thinking of selling packs of crocheted flowers and perhaps individuals with minimum order amounts so you could pick and chose, any thoughts? Would you like to be able to get some at a MUCH cheaper price then the stores and catalogs?? Let me know what you think, I literally have 100's of flowers!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #25

Hi everyone!! So glad you could join us again for another edition of the Loonie Stampers Challenge. This weeks selection was made by Wendy. I am sure we all bugged her about picking the purple, but honestly I like how these colors came together for this challenge.

The theme she picked to accompany the color selections was Birthday!! So I immediately went into my Paint Shop program and made these balloons to celebrate her challenge. I Love 'em!

So as always...on to the challenge. I DID NOT make a birthday card, but keeping with the theme chosen, made a birthday book.

I started by taking a composition book from the dollar store and used an x-acto knife and a metal ruler to cut off the binding. Then I FINALLY dusted off my Bind It All (that has never actually been used for a project) and covered the covers with Chocolate, then punched out the pages and covers.

Next I layered the Fizz and Lemon and included the polka dot parade paper that had the Plum pudding in it. Is that Cheating? No answers needed I don't care, it counts in my world...lol. I wrapped the saddle stitch Fizz ribbon into a bow and attached the whole thing to my book.

Last I took little pieces of fizz card stock and made tabs (which I mistakenly hand wrote, next time I will take a bit more time and stamp with simple Alpha) I also need to work out the spacing of the tabs. But over all I am very happy with it.

Don't forget to visit the ladies and link up your projects. I know there are many MANY of you lurking out there that would like to play.

WENDY CHAR REGAN DEE MARIA

Smooching Cupcakes!

I kinda like this card but seriously need to use my Copics more! I must be hooked on bling since last Friday because all my cards are blingy. This card has a strip of rhinestones along the bottom of the pattern paper. By the way, is the new pattern paper from PTI not the best black patterns you have ever seen? I love them! Well I am off to try and create "Something" from our new challenge selection for tomorrows Loonie Stampers Challenge. Be sure to come back and see what my 3:00 am adventures in my craft room may bring!

Heart Shaped Bling

I FORGOT that I even had this bling. Can you believe that?! I certainly could have used this for Maria's LSC Challenge last Friday. Anyway I combined it with some great new K&Company valentines papers & Papertrey's Raspberry Fizz Grosgrain Ribbon. I stamped the envelope to match and also the little heart in the bottom right is stamped on the adhesive paper and punched out for an envelope seal.

simple inside!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Fresh Baked....

...for you! The other night my BFF (the one who makes all the super cute cakes and cookies) asked if I would be able to make a box around 8x8 for some delicious Valentine's Day Cookies she plans to sell. So I fiddled around this evening and came up with this. I think it ought to do the trick! I made the shell from Pattern paper (12x12) and then I reinforced it with a thinner chipboard. Then once that was secure I made a liner from another piece of patterned paper.

Here is a side view of the box. I really hope that it works for what she wanted to do. I may even bake some of the cookies she was going to make and see how well they fit in there.

Anyway See you again soon, I have a lot of posts this week.

Supplies: PTI Pink Patterns paper, Basic grey for bottom. PTI Stamps & ink. Ribbon from Taylored expressions, spellbinders, EK heart punches.
