I saw this post with these adorable daisies from the Stampin' UP! bigshot die and I totally had to make one.

This is my creation:

Here are the rest of the cards from our crafting day with Gramma Lori (hehehe! love the sound of that!).

This was Erin's card- very fancy!



One of Lori's cards. Great card for babies and the stamp is one of the Stampin' UP! a la carte stamps. It's only $7.95 and think of all the cute cards and gifts you could make with this!



Lori's other card. So adorable! I love the Hello, Doily background stamp. I'm glad that Erin is buying it so I can borrow it from her ;)

CUTENESS ALERT!!!!!

Erin brought a 3-D project for us to work on- a backpack! How cute is that?! I normally don't like 3-D because I can never make them look right but this one was a snap!!! We followed the pattern but Erin ended up making some small changes along the way. I think it turned out super cute! We were thinking this would be a great teacher gift for the first week of school- just to thank your kid's teacher for a great week! What do you think?



Great size also for a gift card



The pocket on the front is the exact size of a Ghirardelli chocolate square- how convenient!

Last week, we went to my "Grandma" upline (that sounds so awful because she does not remind me of a grandma!). Whenever we go, she has tons of great stuff for us. This time we all brought stuff to make instead of making her do all the projects. When we got there, she still had a big bag of cards for us- she really spoils us!!!!

I CASED this from the IBC on page 188. The card holder patter on the SU website made the card holder an odd shape- it didn't hold a regular size card. I had to do a little figuring to make it fit but then the envelopes are a tad bigger than the cards so they didn't fit perfectly and anyone who knows me knows I like it perfect. I will play with it more.

Last post, I showed you a 3x3 card that I'd CASED from the 2010-2011 idea book and catalog. Here are a couple more.

I am the punch queen- if Stampin' UP! makes it, chances are I have it!!! Of course, I don't use them near enough ;) So I decided to play with the Bird Builder punch. What an easy way to make a card!!!! Perfect for all those scraps of paper that we all have floating around!

Bev, Erin and I got together to make 3x3 thank you cards for our customers. This is the first one I made. I was going to enter this is Gretchen Barron's Inspiration In Action CASE Contest but today I realized that I cased this from last year's Stampin' UP! Idea Book and Catalog (pg. 194).

Inspiration In Action CASE Contest

This is my card for Gretchen Barron's Inspiration in Action CASE Contest. I can't even begin to figure out how to include a pic of the card I CASE'd but it's the Congrats card on page 13 of the new Stampin' UP! Idea Book and Catalog.

I changed the card to incorporate the new Flirtatious Specialty Paper (pg. 183 of 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog) and some Springy/Summery colors. The card base is made with Wisteria Wonder, 2011-2013 In Color card stock.
