pocket card

more sweetness

here is another card using su's new tart and tangy set. i used heart brads again for the cherries but this time, i found some random pink heart brads i had in my stash and i colored them with my copics and added stickles! it just amazes me that you can change so many things by coloring them with copics! and i love things that match so it just makes me happy! i also really like layouts that show off lots of different patterned paper like this one. we are busy over here getting ready for my mom (from ca) and my aunt (from ma) who are coming to visit starting tomorrow for a few days! yay! and i teach an a muse class tonight too so i am looking forward to that! and then of course tuesday night = one tree hill!!! woo hooo!!! :) i hope you are enjoying your day! thanks for visiting! :)

priceless valentine

here is one of the cards that we did at my su workshop this week. it is a square card that is 4.5 x 4.5. it uses one of my very favorite su sets of all time, priceless, it is so versatile and i love the flourishes. we cut out the hearts and layered them with pop dots. and see that ribbon tied to the paper clip? it is pink grosgrain with a grey stripe on it. i showed the ladies how you can color ribbon, or make stripes on ribbon with your copic markers and it adds just the right touch! yay! i am off to teach an a muse class today so i've gotta run! i hope you have a great saturday! thanks for visiting! :)

supplies: priceless and short and sweet sets, cardstock, ribbon from su, paper clip, copic marker

sweet friend

couldn't resist making another card with this new set and paper! they will both be available to buy starting march 1st from su's occasions mini catalog. i decided that i wanted to try making a valentine's card with them so i ended up masking off the cherries and using some heart brads that i had got from the target dollar spot! i added a *sweet* a muse sentiment and it worked! i got this layout from a card magazine i saw in a store. the top kraft layer is a little shorter than the bottom layer so that you can see the strip of patterned paper. i hope your day  is *sweet*! thanks for visiting! :)

supplies: sentiment from a muse, brads from target dollar spot, all other supplies from su: tart and tangy set, summer picnic ds paper, scallop circle punch, circle punches, kraft cardstock, corner rounder

sweet!

today i got my sale-a-bration order in along with a new set from su and new patterned paper that goes with it! i am a sucker for fruit stuff so i knew when i saw this set, it would be coming home to me! :) the rest of the paper is just as cute as this one and i know i will be using it a lot!! i wanted to add a little something to this card but the usual ribbon or brads didn't seem to fit so i ended up adding a paperclip with some gingham ribbon. gotta keep it simple, right? i also added crystal effects to the cherries so they are shiny and cute irl! so have you signed up at the new a muse addict site yet?? it is awesome!! this week is extra fun, we have prizes, new challenges, fun and oh, did i mention prizes? you have to be a member to play so go sign up! and something cool happened too, linda mentioned us in this post and do you see what she said about the prizes?? *new a muse goodies* as prizes??? oh my goodness!! :) gotta love that!! i hope you are having a great day! thanks for visiting! :)

snowmen

happy monday! this is the last project we made at my club last week. this card is another one that i almost exactly CASE'd. it was inspired by notimetostamp on scs. i love the colors of it! and we rubbed the edges with white craft so it looks really soft in real life. normally i only use su products at my club but we did use something non su on this card *gasp*!! we used stickles! i think stickles add so much and they are so easy to use. as promised, i will be back later today with my first blog candy giveaway!! yay! thanks for visiting! :)
