Sympathy....

This card was made for my mom's friend who passed away of cancer last week. She loved red flowers. I helped my mom create this card using the Fun Flowers Bigz die for the Big Shot. She had never used the Fun Flower Die before so I showed her a couple ways to created beautiful flowers.

Items used:

Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Brights DP

Ink: Real Red and Basic Black Classic Ink

Big Shot: Delicate Dots Embossing Folder, Bigz L Fun Flowers

Misc: Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Sponge Daubers, Sticky Strip, Button (non SU, oh the horror!)

Cow Girl Up!

Is this not the cutest boot you've ever seen? Anita made this card for her daughter-in-law (yep, my sister-in-law) for her 50th birthday! Happy Birthday Karen!

Guest Puncher Anita - ATV Punch Art

Hello. Today I am show casing my mom's work. Here she designed an ATV (all terrain vehicle) all out of Stampin' Up! punches! This was made for her "man friend" (boyfriend just sound weird at their age, lol). He celebrated his 72nd birthday on Saturday. He loves to ride his ATV on his ranch with his dog Deli. The background looks just like his property. She really is amazing with classic ink and sponge daubers. Make sure to leave her a comment...she loves them!

Build a Bear Girly Girl

I decided to invest in the Build a Bear Dies that Stampin' Up! exclusively sells. I did a very small workshop for a mom and her adorable daughter on Saturday night. I demo'd this card and then let them make their own bears using designer paper. My boys saw how much fun we were having so they asked if they could make some too.....um...but of course!!! I will post theirs on another day.
Items used:
Paper: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and some retired colors
