After Tyler saw this Snoopy card he really wanted to give one to his 1st grade teacher. Besides Snoopy being on it, I think he liked the Flower Soft (autumn) on the leaf pile.
I also wanted to have him give her a little treat with the card for Halloween. I just got in a bunch of the SRM tubes and clear stickers. These stickers are see-through so you can decorate the tubes and still see what is inside.
The tubes come in 3 sizes...
These elephant punches sold out very quick by just having the card samples in the store, but they are back in stock now!
I have some 3x3 card kits (with envelopes) at the shop if anyone wanted to make some cute little gift cards. You will get supplies to make 5 cards for $7.00.
Its hard to tell from the top photo but I took a piercer (for making holes for brads) and pierced around the scallops.
In the Valentine class starting this week, one of our projects will be decorating one of SRM's new tubes. These clear tubes are great for gift-giving and are so versatile! I found a few samples of different things you can do with them...
I will have plenty of these clear tubes in stock this week. They are 7"x1" in size and sell for .99 cents. The ideas of things you can fill them with is endless!
New products are starting to arrive for Valentine's Day so I couldnt wait to use them for a class.
In this workshop we will be making 3 cards and a tube for sweet treats.
You can fill these tubes with candy... I think M&M's and Hershey Kisses work best. (Candy is not included in the class.)
We will be using new products from Sizzix, SRM Stickers, and stamps and Die-Namics from My Favorite Things.
If you missed out on this years Christmas card making class, here are a few of the samples that weren't posted to the blog yet.
We used the "core" paper on the trees so they could be sanded for a snowy effect.
The Cuttlebug and SRM clear stickers always make cards soooo easy!
This one used lavender and olive for non-traditional Christmas colors.
The navy and brown winter trees were very popular. This stamp could be used for other occasions besides Christmas.
This is one of my favorite stamps lately, I've been trying to find some time to make a card with it for a while now. I combined some new items that I thought would look good together.
My favorite detail is adding some "autumn" Flower Soft to make the leaf pile more realistic!
Fall cards are my favorite because I love all the browns and oranges. The paper I used is from the Basic Grey "Max & Whiskers" pet collection. I used the maple leaf from Cuttlebug, but the bad news is that I have very few of them left in stock! They were discontinued a while ago and don't think I can find anymore of them. I did order in some Spellbinders Nestabilities leaves which should be a close look a-like.
The Cuttlebug pumpkin is one of my all time favorite cutting/embossing folders. They were discontinued last year but I was able to locate a few more of them!
SRM Stickers has a new "fall" set of their clear sentiment stickers that would go perfectly with the autumn Cuttlebug folders.
Thanksgiving stamps are starting to arrive too. More Halloween and Fall papers, stickers, and stamps are on their way. I used a folder from the "Cindy Loo" Cuttlebug set for the background on this one.
The new SRM clear stickers have arrived! I made this card for the upcoming school year and also added a Cuttlebug border.
The new stickers have black, brown, and white lettering so you can use them with dark colored cardstock too.
Many new "quick card" stickers! These are great for whipping up a card with very little time involved. Stop by and see what's new!
There are quite a few brand-new Cuttlebug sets that have just arrived!
Many of you have seen the 12 inch Cuttlebug borders and thought they were for 12" pages only. You can use them for cards just as easily! This one is called "butterfly" and its a newer folder from Cuttlebug.
I used my Scor-Pal to make the score marks above the butterfly, works great for nice straight lines. Added some pink pearls, pink sheer ribbon, and topped it off with my favorite SRM clear stickers!
I used the SRM clear stickers to make up these really simple thank you notes.
With a little ribbon and some flowers you can whip up quite a few in one sitting! The sticker sheets have enough to make 18-20 cards.
These flowers come with a sparkly gem already placed for a center. Very easy to match with the ribbon and some black and white paper.
I love this little "Bosco the Bumblebee" stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs. He is part of the newest bunch of wood stamps to arrive. He is holding a flower but I added a Prima flower for a little dimension.
I like to add a bit of Stickles glitter glue to the wings of bugs and bees, it just adds a little sparkle! The punch is a new one from EK Success and the clear sticker is from SRM's card making set.
