5th Batch - Christmas Cards - White Poinsettias

Hey there Peeps!

Sharing with you today a Christmas card using one of my new poinsettia die by Poppy Stamps from Island Scrapbooking.   I remember seeing a pretty card on a blog recently and thought 'I gotta get that die.'  Well, wouldn't you know, when I stopped by Island Scrapbooking, THERE IT WAS....waiting for me.   YAY.  

Another new product I TOTALLY LOVE is Fran-tage which I used on this card.   Can you see those dots?  Maybe you'll need to click on the pix to zoom in.  Oh, I want to use them on everything now.   Ha-ha.  I got my set at Ben Franklin Crafts.  Joy, oh Joy.  :-)

  And here are 6 of them.....

1st post for Make a Keiki Smile Card Drive

Happy Sunday Peeps!    Hope you're all enjoying the weekend. 

  I went to 3 craft fairs yesterday and am always so amazed to see all the talent the artisans have and the wide variety of awesome creations.

2013 is the third year Kris of Klusive Kreations and her Aunty J will join forces in their "Make a Keiki Smile" venture.  Sui Lan is assisting by coordinating the card drive.  If you'd like to help by making a card or two or more, please click here or on the post on my sidebar for the announcement / info.  There are certain some restrictions for the safety of the children, so it's important to read them before you get started.

Here is my first post.  This card features "Minoru" of Sister Stamps from their newest Christmas release.   Cute dude yah?

So Excited!!!!

Hello Peeps!

This past weekend was super fun!  Island Scrapbooking in Hilo celebrated their 10th Anniversary with a big sale, prizes, make 'n take by Jenny, release of 2 new product lines (Yumi and Fumi - woo-hoo, and Elephant Mama), cake, AND a birthday card contest.   So I decided to give it a shot and make a card.   While trying to "think outside the box" I came up with this Bendi Fold card.   Here's the link to the tutorial:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bendifold/

Can you believe I worked on this card for 5 days??????  Yup, no kidding.  LOL.   But it was so worth the time because I'm so excited....I won.   Jump for joy...yay!!!! 

This card has 3 parts, the background piece, left flap, and right flap.  The left flap has a tab that is inserted into a slit on the background piece.  The right and foremost flap has a tab that is inserted into the left flap.  

The darling cutie is "Miyoko" by Sister Stamps.   I paper-pieced her kimono with washi paper.  Oh, I just adore her sweet and innocent pose.

Here's a pix with the front flap opened......

Here's a pix with both flaps opened...

Here's a view from the top......

Here's a pix of the scrapbooking bag I won that was filled with LOTS OF CRAFTY GOODIES.....

And here are the goodies.....

And here's a pix of the pumpkin make 'n take Jenny did.   Cool huh?
