Nugget Treat Cards! ~ Episode 267

WOW, this seems wierd doing such a late post! I just had to share w/you a project that I "Actually" had a dream about these lastnight! Yep, can you believe I actually slept long enough to even have a dream? lol....... I have LOTS of these nuggets left over from halloween, so I decided to make 3 cute little cards for the nicest people who work at my post office! They are ALL soooo SUPER SWEET to my Mother & I ALLLLL the time!;)

For my cards today, I used my favorite Papertrey Ink stamp set called "Limitless Labels"!

This set works perfectly w/these cute little nuggest candies! I also used my stamp set "So Grateful for You" along w/my "Curly Label Die". The card base I designed in my Gypsy Girl using my FAVORITE cartridge in the WHOLE WORLD "Art Philosophy"! You can totally get this cartridge HERE from my sweet friend "Miss Melanie" w/Courtney Lane Designs!

Here is what is what it looks like opened!

Here is another view of it!

here is my video showing you how I designed these in my gypsy!;)

Do you think my Post office staff w/like these? Well, I sure hope so!

This is my late post for tonight! I will see you VERY BRIGHT & EARLY in the morning when I announce my new design team! Enjoy the rest of your night my sweet creative friends!;) xoxo

HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I thought this day would never come!;)

For today's "Tip of the Day", I decided to show you another way to use these pretty rosettes! This was my FIRST time making them & they were a lot of fun to make!

If you haven't picked up YOUR copy of the "Art Philosophy" yet, you can purchase it from Miss Melanie w/Courtney Lane Designs HERE!;) I promise you, this cart is an AWESOME one!;) Tell your hubby's now that you would like it in YOUR Christmas stocking this year!;)

Okay, is this not the perfect gift for your teacher, office staff, co-worker OR take them out of the little bucket & give them to your kids' classmates for Halloween! For the sentiment, I used "Mixed Holiday Sentiments" and I also used it w/my "Curly Label Die"! The border stamp inside of the die is from "Inspiring Words Accents" stamp set!

Here is a video for you!;

Monday Madness.... Imagine That!!! ~ Episode 225

GOOD MORNING & welcome to our very 1st segment that my design team & I will be featuring on Mondays called "Monday Madness.... Imagine That"! I thought that I would share some more imagine projects with all of you! A "Portion" of my design team has Imagine's & will be creating projects using it! The other portion of my design team will be creating "Imagine "LIKE" projects always incorporting pattern paper on their projects! So, with that said, let's get started! For my project today, I thought I would share a project that we made at my scrapbook class over the weekend! I switched it up a bit by using circle chipboards instead of square! One of the projects we had made was a post-it note holder! SUPER SIMPLE & I love how this one turned out! I used my favorite Theresa Collins "Black & White" imagine cartridge for the pattern paper! The sentiment is from "My Teacher Rocks" & I also using my newest die set called "Scallop & Stitched Circle"! You can see in my video EXACTLY how this was put together below!

My "Post-it Note Holder"!

Here is the inside of my "Post-it note holder"!

Imagine Nation Monday!

HAPPY MONDAY & welcome to another Imagine Nation Monday! I hope all of you had a FABULOUS weekend! I was SO HAPPY HAPPY to actually get away for a few days to Tahoe! It was LOTS of fun, but it feels GREAT to be back home! Being gone for 2 1/2 days is enough for us to be away! My boys, my hubby & I couldn't wait to see our furry babies, we missed them ALOT! Thank God my parents were here to babysit them;)

Okay, for today, I have two VERY TALENTED ladies joining me! They are: Miss Cindy & Miss Leanne!;)

Here is my card for today! I used my brand new FAVORITE imagine cart "Black & White"! OMG, the pattern paper in this cart are all BEAUTIFUL & I just KNEW this was going to become a FAVE of mine REAL QUICK!;)  What I did was cut the square pattern paper @ 3.5 in & I cut another @ 3.2 in! I used the 3.2 in one to use my die with! I got to play again w/my new die "Curly Label" for my card today! For all the sentiments I used "Inspiring Words" & for the frame stamp bordering my die is from "Inspiring Words {Accents}"! Then I added some sheer black ribbon, a button, twine & some bling to finish it off!

Here is another view of it!;)

Here is Miss Cindy's PERFECT card using "This & That"!

Here is Miss Leanne's PRETTY giftbag & she used "Encouraging Quotes" stamp set!

Imagine Nation Monday!

Happy 4th of July & welcome to another Imagine Monday!  After I had already made my card, I realized that I actually should've made a 4th of July project!! LOL....... I thought about it way too late! So for my super simple card today, I used one of my favorite imagine carts called "Vintage Papers"! This is such a fun pattern cartridge so if you are ever in a bind to make a "Manly" card, this is the cartridge for "You"!;)

Basically, I just cut out a shape that was already in the Imagine machine itself & layered it onto my favorite Kraft cardstock & a blue color cardstock all from Papertrey Ink.! For the sentiment, I used "2" stamp sets, "Inspiring Words" & "Inspiring Words {Accents}". I also used my new die "Curly Label" which I thought went absolutely perfect w/my card today!

Here is a close-up of how my sentiments look in the "Curly Label" die~! The sentiment "Hero" is from the stamp set "Inspiring Words" & the quote below it & the outline stamp is from the stamp set "Inspiring Words {Accents}" Isn't it pretty? I just LOVE it!;)

Okay, now onto my design team member Miss Cindy Lee! For her AWESOME card today, she is showcasing my stamp set called: "Encouraging Quotes"! Isn't this the PERFECT card to go w/the sentiment? I sure do think so! Check out Miss Cindy's blog HERE to see how she created this "masterpiece"!

Thank you for stopping by once again! Don't forget to check back tomorrow! I am a guest designer for Miss Ruthie & I created a SUPER "SWEET" card for her "Tacky Tuesday's challenge"! See ya back here tomorrow & stay cool out there, it's going to be another HOT ONE today! xoxoxo's
