A friend of my daughter is turning 4 tomorrow. This is the card I made for him that matches his wrapping paper. 
I was playing on My Digital Studio last night and made this card so quickly. My Digital Studio would allow you to get caught up on all the scrapbook pages in a snap! I love all the things you can do with this program! Cards, scrapbook pages, books, calendars, fliers and so much more. 
I joined a masculine swap recently and this is the card I came up with. My dad is Mr. Handyman and so I always have a use for Totally Tool. I used the Texture Plates Kit # 4 for the background but I added a little detail to make it look more like wood. I used my brayer and Chocolate Chip ink on the texture plate before running it through the Big Shot. I will be saving this for my Dad's birthday in June.
This month our group was issued a challenge to come up with a black and white card or a monochromatic card. This is what I decided to do for black and white. The Medallion stamp is a perfect stamp for a quick card. I also used Circle Circus to add a little more interest to the center of the medallion.
I made this lunch bag for my daughter to take to school. I found insulated batting to quilt in between the squares. I am so excited with how it turned out! It is using the Scallop square die which makes it so easy to cut out. It went so quickly. I also made a fabric flower embellishment with the Flower Folds die.
This is a quick post of the UDI inspiration challenge this week. I had to go with butterflies. Spring is in the air and I can't wait for the warm weather. I used my Butterfly die, Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper and Three Little Words stamp set. Be sure to check out what the other UDI team members came up with this week.
I have been seeing this beautiful technique done and had to try it myself to make these flowers. When I saw the UDI inspiration challenge I knew just what to do! I love how this turned out! I put sticky strip on a small piece of Whisper White scrap paper and punched it out with my 1 3/4" circle punch. Then I took some strips of paper and used my Eyelet border punch to decorate the edges. I put them through the crimper a few times and bunched them up to make the paper very pliable. I then started from the outside of the circle and pleated it together. I added a Summer Sun corduroy button in the middle for color. I used my Big Shot and the Little Leaves die in Old Olive for the leaves. I layered everything on Basic Black and then on to Creamy Caramel. Be sure to check out what the other UDI team members have come up with this week.
I joined a Big shot fabric swap and love the projects I got back! I will be sharing them over the next few days. I am just amazed at how many things you can use with the Big Shot.Unfortunately with this swap we all, myself included, were not great about putting our information on our projects so I can't give credit to the demonstrators that made these fantastic projects but I hope you enjoy them!
Here is a Mother's Day card I enjoy making using the Poppin' Pastel technique. To do this technique you need a Versamark pad or marker and Stampin' Pastels. You stamp your image with the Versamark and then use sponge daubers, rub it in the color pastel you want and rub over your image. It will give you this very beautiful and soft look.

This was our other club project we did this month. We used Chocolate Bunny and Vintage Labels stamp sets. This card ends up being 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" in size. I started with a 12" x 4 1/4". I scored at 5" and then folded it up and scored at 5 1/2". This makes it the correct size and gives you a large enough flap that we kept closed with our Wide Oval Punch and a pop up glue dot.
Well, I am half Irish so I HAD to figure out how to make a shamrock for the UDI inspiration team challenge this week. I used the 5-Petal Flower Punch and cut it apart to make my own shamrock. I added a little bling in the middle with some Hodgepodge Hardware. Be sure to check out what the other UDI team members came up with this week.
Today is my husband's birthday but we had to celebrate last night because of other commitments. This is the card I made him and the kids and I signed. I love the To the Nines DSP as well as the Birthday Bliss stamp set. This is another stamp set you can choose when you spend $50! 
This is a card we did for club this month. To do this technique, use your brayer and ink up your Manhattan flower embossing folder on the indented side. Add your card stock and put it through the Big Shot and this is what you end up with. It is a big WOW!
My daughter is turning 4 in April and wanted a Princess Tea Party. These are the invitations I made. I used the Stitched Flowers to make barrettes for each of the little girls invited. I am so pleased with how they turned out. I also used the Manhattan flower embossing folder after I printed the information out. That is going to be a theme throughout. I used the Introducing stamp set which is one of the stamp sets you can get FREE when you place a $50 order. Don't miss out on Sale-a-bration! It ends March 31st!
I had my bottle cap necklace class yesterday and I had so much fun! I think everyone in attendance enjoyed themselves. It was great to see what everyone came up with. These are some more bottle caps I have made for my daughter and to show as ideas yesterday in class. I have been making them like crazy lately for gifts and party favors. There will be more pictures coming.
