Birthday Spinner Card

While working late last week I decided to listen to a few of Mary's videos from Cardz TV . 

One of them was a spinner card and suddenly I was hit with a creative idea. Why not use my Jaded Blossom stamps and create a spinner birthday card. 

I LOVE the Jaded Blossom cupcake. Okay, who am I kidding,  I LOVE all of their stamps.

This is the end result:

I used the Wild Card cartridge, pinwheel on page 51. Set @ 5 ½.

Jaded Blossom stamps from the "Sweet Birthday Wishes" and "Hey Cupcake" sets

Gems from my stash and the brad I "borrowed" from  my daughter's stash :)

It is hard to tell in this picture, but the paper is purple.  This card will be sent to Nana Karen who is a Red Hat Lady and their colors are purple and red.

Thanks for visiting~~Katie Sr.

Here are three different treat bags that I made.

All three animals are from the Create A Critter 2 cart. I also used Jaded Blossom stamps and the Jaded Blossom Fancy die topper.~~Katie Sr.

January 2013 Card Kit Swap

It's that time of the month again: Card Kit Swap Creation Demonstration Time!!

I completed three cards using the January Card Kit. I won't lie, they are not all that great, but I did complete the task. I vow to do better next time!!

First pic is of the kit that was mailed to me:

 Next up is a look at all three cards I made:

 Had to have my usual OWL CARD...I think this would be a cute baby girl card:

 Trying for a more masculine feel with this "time" centered card:

 Lastly is my card using white chalk ink..not my best card and I didn't do well w/ my inking but hey, you can't say I don't try new things:

Thanks for stopping by! Happy 2013!

Dec 2012 Card Kit Swap

I was the hostess of the third month card kit swap. I had the kits mailed out on time and the stuff looked cute...but I failed to take a picture of the goodies in the kit. This post will only have the cards...hopefully one of the other ladies took a picture of the kits I mailed and I can link to it :) My cards all have Spanish Greetings--because I love Spanish Greeting...and I had to have an Owl Card :)

Wishing you an amazing 2013!! Happy Crafting!!

Nov 2012 Card Kit Swap

The second month of the card kit swap is almost over. Susan provided the goodies for this month's swap. She challenged us to make the four cards and a scrapbook layout, even enticing us with more goodies if we completed the layout. Unfortunetly, I am not going to get a layout done because I am busy with too many other crafty projects. I did complete my four cards though!!

Here is a picture of the goodies Susan mailed us:

With her goodies I made these four cards:

Here is a closer look at each of them:


I like the tiny dots on the butterfly card and the red glitter glue eyes on the owl couple :) Now I need to get the packets together for the four of us for December since I am hosting that month...better get things in gear! Happy Crafting!!

Oct 2012 Card Kit Swap

Trying something new. A crafty friend of mine recommended I participate in a card kit swap. Now I was thinking we would just swap cards with eachother, but turns out we are doing more of a card material swap...and I like it!! Each of the four participants is a "hostess" for a month, meaning they mail an envelope to the other three participants containing enough card materials to make 3-4 cards. The interesting thing is what creations we will make using our own craft stash and the goodies from the monthly swap. Below is a picture of the Oct 2012 card material:

With these goodies I made these three cards:

Trying to show the shimmer spray on the leaf...

I think these owls are super cute & needed glitter too :)

Can't wait to see what the other three ladies make with their card material...
