A Super Fun Birthday Card.....

I just want to say I had sooooo much fun making this card!  We made this card last Thursday at my creative card making class.  For those of you that attend my creative card making classes on a regular basis, you know we normally don't do "cutesy" cards.  HOWEVER, I've been seeing a lot of ladies making presents using the triple layer punch and I knew I had to try it and OMGosh-I had so much fun doing it and I JUST LOVE this card!  OK, in real life it is so cute and so much fun, seriously it is!!!  It has so much texture to it and is so vibrant!  In fact I like it so much I made a few of them to keep on hand, which is something I normally don't do.. I know crazy right, lol...I popped the presents up by using dimensionals so the presents scream OPEN ME, lol.... What do you think about the card, do ya like it?????  If you're interested, I have a card kit left from my creative card making class which includes all 4 cards from my last class.  Email me and I can send you complete details and pictures from the last class, or you can look back at the last few posts and I believe they are labeled as a class post.  The kit is $22 which includes the class fee (all materials for the 4 cards), shipping to you and all your materials in a padded enveloped to secure your cards.  My email address is amy_braunscheidel@hotmail.com

Stampin' Up! Plant of Hope ...Masculine Card CASE....

 I'm sure many of you have already seen this card posted on Andrea Walfords blog so it wont be much of a surprise here, lol...  This is a card of hers I fell in love with and just knew I had to give it a try on my own.  I'm not sure how she did hers or all of the supplies she used, so I will list what I used at the end of this post.  Most of my supplies are now sadly retired as I made this card back in JUNE!  I know, it's taken quite sometime for me to get it posted.  Sorry about that!  I do know we did use the same stamp set tho =)

I like this card because it's quite masculine and can be used for many "Guy" occasions.  I believe I used this as a Father's Day card this year for my hubby and my Father and Father- in- law.  I have such a hard time coming up with "Guy" cards sometimes. 

ALL Supplies Stampin' Up!
Card stock: chocolate chip, crumb cake, and very vanilla. Ink: chocolate chip. Stamps: plant of hope. Accessories: Big Shot, texture plates, sponge, spiral border punch, 1 5/8" chocolate chip ribbon, glue dots,  brads, and holly jolly christmas designer series paper.

 

I wanted to remind you that tomorrow is the last day to order from the 2011 Summer mini catalog and the last day to take advantage of the Buy 3 get one FREE designer series promotion.  If you woud like to place a last minute order, please feel free to email me at amy_braunscheidel@hotmail.com and I will get your order placed right away!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a GREAT day!

Birthday Wishes, masculine or feminine or BOTH

 This is the third card we made at my hostess stampers club and will make at tomorrow nights creative card making class.  I like this card a lot.  I think it's quite universal in a way that it can be used as both a masculine card for the man in your life OR it's feminine enough to where you can still send it to a female friend/family member  as well don't you think?   Making masculine cards is something I never think to make.  I don't know why, I have a husband, father brother, etc., and the thing is, I am always making their cards last minute and I make promises to myself right then that my next class will be nothing but masculine cards just so I don't have to go through the rush of getting it done, but NOPE I procrastinate and never get it done.  I forget!!!  I think this card kinda fits the bill don't you?  What do you think?  Did you notice the paper piercing?  I LOVE paper piercing!!! It's like the Big Shot, it adds that special touch to a card.  With fall almost here, I thought the colors were appropriate too.

All Supplies Stampin' Up!:
Stamp set: Sincere salutations and elements of style. Ink: Soft suede. Card stock: soft suede, not quite navy, very vanilla  and elegant soiree designer series paper (now sadly retired). Accessories: dimesnionals, paper piercing tool and mat pack

Stampin' Up!... Thinking of you (TWO)

 Hello all!  Today I share with you a card I CASE'D from LaLatty from SCS.  Isn't this card so pretty.  As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make this card.  I didn't use the same embossing folder as she did nor did I use a particular punch she did when using the oval punches and I believe our greeting/sentiment may be different, I can't remember what her card was, but I was in need of a thinking of you card, so that's what I turned this card into.  My hostess stampers club really enjoyed making this card and we're going to make this card Thursday night at my creative card making class. I can't wait! I think this card has elegance written (well stamped) all over it, lol...

As many of you know I LOVE my Big Shot and I hardly make a card anymore without it.  I just think it gives cards such a pretty look and feel to them.  If you don't have a Big Shot, you really need one! ;)

All Supplies Stampin' Up!
Stamp set (s): pocket silhouettes and teeny tiny wishes. Ink: basic black and going grey classic ink. Accessories: 1/4" basic black grosgrain ribbon, scallop trim border punch, scallop oval punch, large oval punch, finial press embossing folder, and of course the big shot.

Would love to have ya! you can email me for class details.   This card was fun to make and I love the new lace ribbon border punch.  I had no idea just how big it was.  I was quite surprised when it arrived.  I like how this card turned out.  The card sorta has fall (autumn) like colors but still has a summer feel to it don't ya think? I didn't know what I wanted to do with this stamp set, but knew I wanted it.  I just started randomly started stamping and this is what I came up with.  I had NO expecatations at all.
