Art Glass and Stamp Studio

Off to Wire Grass Mall for something to do today (husband entertainment).

Bought some 75% off valentine merchandise at American Greetings.

On to Chico's just to look, well they had a ring matching a necklace and bracelet I already have.

Plus I had a $10 off coupon for the birthday and a 5% passport discount so how could one pass it up?  The $24 ring magically became $12-I was sold.

Talked the driver (the husband) into a side trip to Lakeland to check out Art Glass and Stamp Studio after a little research, a phone call and one stop for directions we found it.

Oh, nice store.  I had seen their product at Stampfest.

I bought a few stamps, a set of pearls AND most importantly the cuttlebug border embossing strips...I have been unable to locate them at the usual haunts.  This is one of the stamps I purchased today, stamped but not finished into a card yet.

Thank you Card

Thanks Donna for an inspiring evening...I always enjoy creating with you.

You have a warm and beautiful home.  Did I mention the good food?

Thanks for everything you're the best!

Love Ya...

Happy Anniversary Card

Our good friends are celebrating 25 years this Saturday, so tonite we are going out to dinner.

It is a double celebration their anniversary and my birthday.  We are going to Cheddar's.  They have the best onion rings ever.

1. Cut out a circle card with Sizzix place the paper a little short on my side to prevent that side from being cut (to make the card).

2. Cut an additional circle for top layer.  I taped white lace around the card front.  Then put pop-dots around the center of the circle.  Placed the matching circle on top.

3.  Punched out the 25th from bought anniversary paper with the scallop circle punch.

4.  Cut out a piece of metal (roof flashing from Home Depot) using Big Kicks (Sizzix).

Stamped an acrylic inchie of love birds with black Staz-on.

5. Placed a Happy Anniversary sticker inside.

What fun!

Card Number Uno

Here it is card number one for today.  Can you tell that I love her?

Cardmaking Day

Another cardmaking day today as I was cancelled again today.  I pulled out a stack of books last night for inspiration.  I went to Cardio-combo exercise class last night so I am up to the mission. Okay what should I make today...I found this fabulous paper a few days ago at Joann's from DCWV...

Beloved

A new stamp from Stamper's Anonymous bought at Stamp Fest on Saturday.

I used the envelope technique I explained earlier today on a post,  I have been busy.

I put a pearl on her ear!

Thinking of You

Thinking of you Barb.

The flower is cut out from a template named Nested Shapes.

Diamond shaped card

I found this card a long time ago on you tube.  I am sorry I can't identify it any further.

But it is quite easy to make.

1. Cut background cardstock 4"x12".

2. Next fold on side to the center (like a paper airplane.)

3. Straighten out cardstock, fold again like a airplane,

4. Fold end flap.

5. Fold the other side of cardstock same way. (two times like airplane shape.)

6. Fold flap on end.

7. Decorate.

I am sure it would be easy to find on you tube.

The bunny is a Quik Kutz die and pearl for the tail.

I used punches for background and popped it with one of  Dusty's pop dots (LOL)

Have fun.

PS

I found it on You Tube:

Easter's on its way

Wednesday morn:  The first card for today...onward, upward.

Tuesday Evening

Tuesday evening and thinking about how to spend my day off tomorrow.  Yes, a day off  but not by choice.  I am cancelled for tomorrow.  It is feast or famine in the recovery room.  I am a prn nurse (as needed).  No need for me tomorrow.  Business is slow so the regular FT/PT employees get the hours.  I could work as I am employed by an agency (in addition to the surgery center), but I was so tired when I got off this evening I didn't want to think about it.  So now I get an extra day off.  It is great except when the pay check rolls in.  Let's see, hmm...how about some exercise at the Y and maybe some cardmaking.  That is sounding good.
