They say all work and no play makes for a dull girl or something like that so today I took a break for my nephew's birthday party. I bounced in the bouncy bounce with him. It was a ball, but it hurts now. I injured my knee a couple weeks ago and have been wearing a knee brace ever since. After the party ended I set to work in the craft room and got my second card for stamp club planned out. I used La Belle Via paper, Kraft paper, artiste cricut cartridge and art philosophy cricut cartridge, the stamps are from card word puzzle and Just for You...

To done
Well I joined in on an altered post card swap. I have been pushing the Kraft post card around the craft room for awhile now I keep picking it up thinking"Where did this piece of Kraft paper come from?" or "This should be in my close to my heart scraps" then I flip it over and say "oh yea" lol. So I got a few demos done for my card group to see the new Flirty paper pack and what our new Artiste cartridge can do and needed something different to do so I decided it was as good a time as any to get my altered postcard finished. I loved the look of the kraft colored paper and didn't want to mess up the actual postcard so I took a scrap of ctmh Kraft paper and my new Tim holtz embossing tray and used his reflection stamp to emboss and stamp the Kraft paper. I then went over the embossed areas with broken china distress ink added some bright cheery rubon flowers, "wish you were here" cut from sentimentals and a heart from art Philosophy (which I stamped with Tim holtz map stamp and inked the edges with broken china), popped up a beach babe and finished.

Stamp class: Super hero
Yesterday was my ctmh stamp class. I have been playing with ideas for the class for about a month and finalized them Monday night. I wanted something that could be used for father's day but at the same time that could be used for any man in the person making it's life or if not for father's day for a birthday or maybe even to be used to say thank you. So I cut "hero" on the cricut using art philosophy (which I mutilated on my gypsy to fit perfectly on the card) the I stamped the cityscape on the letters inked the edges in black and glued them over the patterned papers. I then stamped the super hero from the super powers stamp set in black and colored him in with markers. I popped him up with foam dots. A fairly simple card but it has a lot of pop. This was a paper pack I would have never purchased before the birth of my nephew. As soon as I saw it in my catalog I knew I would purchase it.
The third project was an altered peanut container I just though it was something fun a different and it could cute as part of a gift basket or a simple gift on its own.
I wish I took pictures of the ladies creations I always find it interesting because I give them the time to be creative or to do something on their own. They always surprise me. One of the girls made the card for her boyfriend in boot camp she gave the superhero cameo pants and used the speech bubble stamp and write "some superheros wear capes mine wears combat boots". It makes me smile knowing that she will be sending her man something cute and personal to boost his spirits.

A thinking of you card
I have been making think of you cards because I'm the head of my motorcycle group's sunshine committee. This is just one I made recently. My second card I cheated a bit I had a card that said "grateful for you" I didn't really like it anymore so I stamped "thinking of you" on Creme brûlée card stock with outdoor denim ink and cut around it and adhered it to the card over grateful for you. I like it much better now.

Super secret project number 1
Well my super secret project I have been working on this past week was a special gift a custom scrapbook for my future sister in law. I wasn't sure what she was doing for a wedding album because she has a friend of the family doing the photos and I figured she at the very least she can just put in her favorite photos from her special day.

May Stamp club cards
I'm always trying to come up with something new and fun for my stamp club to do. I saw this stamp set and Close to my heart did these really cute layouts using it 1 boy, 1 girl. This typically boy set becomes girly with a color scheme change and some bling. Of course it always helps that I loved this set since I opened the catalog and thought it would be adorable for my nephew. After making these cards I think it's just as great for girls especially those "tomboys", but I'm pretty sure any girl would love these cards. I started off with just plain 12x12 Kraft colored paper. I diecut it on my cricut using one of the card shaped on art philosophy (that I changed to be your standard size 4-1/4x5-1/2inch card. I then took the bone border stamp from the "roar" stamp set and stamped it multiple times in colonial white ink the I stamped my dinosaur in Pear ink(boy) or Smoothie ink (girl) and the sentiment in sunset (boy) or black (girl). My next thing I did was border the colonial white cardstock with Dutch blue (boy) or Tulips (girls). I then hand dyed the white embroidery thread with sunset ink and hand dyed white seam binding with smoothie ink. Add a button and your done. They came out pretty cute.

Other supplies white seam binding, distress stickles in worn lipstick and antique linen and distress ink in old paper and vintage photo and an antique button.

Birthday card
I decided to play in the craft room today after putting up a new fence for the goats and wasting an hour or probably more on the computer. I sat at the table looked at magazines and then remember that I could really use some birthday cards. So far this is what I made. I cut the shoe out of my forever young cartridge and the background shape is from art philosophy cartridge I tweaked it with my gypsy. The paper is from making memories I have had it forever!

Cupcake cards
I know I'm a bad blogger. I'm going to do my best to post more often. I just painted my craft room and put in a new floor,but that is going to posted tomorrow. It looks great though I must say. So what kind of creating have I done. I made cupcake cards. I used the art philsophy cricut cartridge and one of the stamp sets that is sold in the package. I kept them simple I just used card stock in pink and blue, and Tim Holtz shabby chic paper pack and two stamps one says "seize the cupcake" and one says "happy cupcake day" they were fun to make.
