Good Fortune Card

A couple cards today: found stamp set from My Favorite Things (MFT) called Good Fortune from Memories Live On in Cupertino, California and just had to buy it (sorry, it was the last one but am sure they could get more). It was so cute and I inked up a couple color combos. Now if you check the stamp, the girl's hair style is slightly different. I added bangs. The Kimonos are all stamped with 3x3 DSP scraps. The card colors were chosen based on the DSP colors. The Crane Origami Stamp is using Black Momento Ink, cut out, attached to her hand with a 2 way glue pen. Crane stamp is a retired 2002 SU "Gifts from the Orient" Set. The Background mat is a Asian Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. Message "with Love" is from Waltzing Mouse Stamps "Asian Gardens", punched out using SU Small Oval Punch. EK Success "Patterned Circles" Punch is used for the left side strip.

This color combo is SU Pretty in Pink, Pixie Pink, Black: use organdy ribbon to tie on top of the left side strip. Copic colors used: E21, R20, R27, R81, Y18, W4, W7, W10. She is cut out and popped with dimensionals.

The second one is in SU Barely Banana, Almost Amethyst, Black color combo:
Another in SU Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Black color combo:
This one is in SU Real Red, Rose Red, and Black color combo:
Here's one with SU Old Olive, Pretty In Pink, Black color combo:
Inside each card: corners punched using Martha Stewart "Modern Garland" corner punch.

Dandelion Fuzzy Chick Jelly Bean Treat Box

This is the cutest gum holder made by my friend Carol. It is so cute. The size is 2-1/4" x 4-1/4". carol loves punch art so this project is mostly made using punches: Oval Punch, Bird punch, Small tag punch, and Flower Punch. Clever, eh?

Chocolate Box Album

I attended a class to make this project last week and had such a great time. The class was held at Memories Live On in Cupertino, California. Check their site as they have other classes, too. This class was given by Lisa Martinez. The fun paper used is a 6x6 paper pack from Best Creations called Candy Shop. Album finished size is 5 X 5. Front cover candy pieces and decorative shapes are from the Silhouette Store. There is acetate behind the decorative shape between the candy and the gold box top. Metal rings hold this album together.

This may be my favorite part of the album: love the awning for the top and the candy embellishments which are cut and popped up.
The side doughnut strip is a pocket holding two tags. The Silhouette cut doughnut sits on a doilie (die is from Cheery Lynn) and is embellished using those Pearl pens which dry shiny and look like candy sprinkles.

More tags removed from the side pocket and the doughnut flipped up for a photo.

Here's a yummy page. The cupcake is a Silhouette cut image. I added the Cuttlebug swirl embossing folder to the cupcake top and glossy accents to the cherry. The opposite side is a printed acetate page.

With the cupcake top flipped up: a photo opportunity. You can see the Stardust Gel pen giving shine to the cupcake liner.

The Yummy page is full of glitter and bling cupcakes:
I love this page with the slanted Jelly Bean pockets with tags.
Here's the tags from the 6x6 Candy Shop pack:
A co-ordinating page with the "Sweet" from the 6x6 pack and those Silhouette cut lolly pops:

I actually changed the lolly pops so they flip up for a photo:
Don't you love the pockets with the EK Success punched edges:
Tags from the 6x6 Candy Shop pack:

Back of album. I made an extra Chocolate and found a place for it........
I loved this class with friends and am so happy with the finished product.
A happy crafting day to all of you.

A Fabulous Recipe Paperbag Mini

This is the most clever recipe album. I love it. I found this album in a store in Cupertino, California called Memories Live On. It was created by Michelle McDowell. Michelle did offer this album as a kit but they sold out. I am a lucky person who was able to purchase this finished project. The store has some great classes of all kinds; scrapbook pages, mini books, party favors, and cards. This album is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" and is made from 3 kraft lunch bags. Lots of fun embellishments. The front has some fun stickers. The metal rings have a lot of fun ribbons. What is seen here is part of Lunch bag #1.

Open the page to reveal a slant pocket for the recipe card. A pocket on the right side holding a tag. The recipe card with the "breakfast" is a rub-on and is slipped into the lunch bag opening.
Flip over the page again to reveal another pocket. The right side is a photo mat with photo corners.

Lunch Bag #2: "Lunch" is a rub-on on the punched label pull out recipe card. A slanted pocket which holds a fun doilie and a Recipe tag. The right side is a pocket with an ingredient tag.
Another pocket with a recipe card. Right side is a photo mat
Lunch Bag #3: holds a "dinner" rub-on in the lunch bag opening. A photo mat is on this page with fun punched corners. The right side is a pocket with a "notes" tag.

A Surprise "Just Because" Package

Now how can a girl be so lucky. I love getting mail at my door step. I received a box full of surprises!!! The box was a surprise, too from my Las Vegas friend: Gene. One of the items in the box was this great Dragon card - it is so cool. The company name is Fred Mullet/Red Pearl Company. I got the medium size stamp but now I have this large size Dragon card. I love how there is the bamboo element embellishment on this card.

Now here's a box that really moves my heart: in my favorite colors and embellished with the perfect Washi paper!!!! And, don't you just love that MS punch on the edge!!!!
Don't you just love the stamped message?

And, look inside.......but wait........look at those shiny gold square brads at the front of the matchbox compartments. Now that is cool. Each compartment is filled with fun embellishments:
Here's a better picture of the embellishments: cute, eh.........? There are flowers, pandas (and other animals) and branches of blossoms. So cute.

I am so blessed to have such a great friend.....thank you, thank you so very much Gene!!! You are the BEST!!!!

Gate Fold Sakura Dandelion Thank You Card

This was a fun card to make. I used the SVGcuts.com Sakura Flower cut file (which can be found here) to create this card. It was cut using my Silhouette Cameo with my SCAL3 (Sure Cuts a Lot computer program). I love that I can make the Sakura Flower any size, then weld the various sizes to make this "crazy" card. This card will fit into a A2 envelope so careful postiioning of the smaller Sakura flowers was needed. The stamp sets used are from Dandelion Girl's Day and Dandelion Keiko Set which can be found here.

Open the right side to reveal one of the "fan girl":
Open the left side to reveal another "fan girl"- they are from Dandelion Girl's Day which can be found here:

Message inside is from Dandelion Keiko Set. Stamped heart is filled in with a gold pen.

Here's a closer look at Keiko:

Like my stamp in the back? It's from Art Nekko.

This is how the card was made: the long cut piece was made using SCAL3 and cut with my Silhouette Cameo in Pixie Pink. Each of the Sakura flowers are sponged with Pixie Pink and Pretty in Pink ink.

Two of the three Dandelion Girl's Day stamps were used. The larger one is from Dandelion's Keiko set. Copic colors used to color their face, hair, flowers, and shoe bottoms are: E21, R20, R85, W10. and a Gold pen for the flower centers in her hair.
Supplies:
