Hang in there!

When I flipped through the new catalogue, I automatically fell in love with the hostess stamp set "nuts about you".  I think it's absolutely adorable, and I really liked stampin' ups card sample they made on page 239... but i really wanted to use the adorable possum!

So CASING from the catalgoue, I made this card: 

 how cute would it be to give this to a friend who is pregnant and overdue with a little gift card? It would slide right in!

Grad Cards

I always make grad cards for our graduates in our Youth Ministry... this year we have 4, 3 boys and 1 girl, so I decided to make this circle flip card with one of our new products I'm obsessed with!
if you have the big shot this is a MUST buy... it's the circle card thinlits die... it looks like this:

It's $40.95 will make an impressive, unique card that fits in a normal envelope in seconds!
Here's the grad cards I made (this is what they look like when flat)

Really simple and fun... When they open they spin to the other side of the circle! Such a neat "wow".

 This is the inside, it's hard to read, but just says "happy graduation" from teeny tiny wishes.

And this is what it looks like standing up!

Explosion Box obsession

If you've spent any time on pinterest as of last, you will have seen a million of these "explosion boxes" come up. What makes this unique is that it folds into a regular 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card!  So when the person receiving opens up the card, it "pops" open!
It's really fun.

I wanted to make one that was bright and cheery, so I choose to make this... with "sweets for the sweets" and as many bright colors as possible!

this is the back view: The white is so you can write on the "card".

Thanks for looking!
