Happy Birthday, Pat(s)!

Here's 2 cards I made for 2 boys who have birthdays this month (and who are both named Patrick!) It's so easy to make a whole bunch of cards when you make your own Designer Paper...just stamp images randomly all over some Whisper White paper and add a small sentiment and you've got a quick card! Use a whole 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock and you've got 4 cards in no time flat!

Time to Sale-a-brate! (Kind of!)

I know you've seen a very similar version of this card before, but I just love it! The Medallion stamp really makes a splash when you emboss it...here I used Close to Cocoa Craft Ink with clear embossing powder....just a reminder, Sale-a-bration starts today! And as always, place any order with me and I'll pay your Shipping and Handling (10% savings) Please email me directly instead of ordering through my website so you can get the savings. I had every intention of having lots of samples to post using the new sets from the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration cattys, but due to an unforseen flooded basement and subsequent $10,000 waterproofing job, I had to postpone my order for a bit....so stay tuned for some samples in the hopefully near future!

OK, OK! Just one more....

I know I said I was sick of Christmas, but I just had to post this last card I made....I used a piece of chipboard cut into a triangle shape and placed it into the Petals embossing folder and then ran it through my Cuttlebug...the only part of the cardfront that was embossed with the design was the triangle shape...then I took a gold paint pen and highlighted the flower centers and layered it on some paper...maybe this will be my Christmas card for next year????!!!!

Happy B'day, Dad!

Here's the card I sent my Dad for his birthday...it uses the Pendant Park set (LOVE IT!!) I'll be doing a Night of Navy/Bordering Blue version of this card for the Make-n-Take for the upcoming Definitely Stampers 2 meeting in January....

Swirly Whirly!

This wheel is called Whimsy, but for some reason I always call it Swirly Whirly! I originally purchased it because I saw a Christmas card that I absolutely loved, but since I got the wheel, I haven't been able to find the card again and really don't remember the details of the card. So I decided to sit down and design some of my own cards....it really makes a statement when you wheel the card in Basic Black and use markers to color in the circles....

Christmas Cards Galore!

Here are some of the beautiful Holiday cards I received this year! The church card is from my mom; the angel card is from fellow demo Joan Buckley; the ornament card is from my downline Liz Frammarino; the adorable reindeer card is from my downline Michelle Hollings and the gold and chocolate snowflake card is from my downline Evelyn Rivera...they are all so beautiful!

One cute bag!

Here's an adorable pocketbook that holds about 3 cards (more if your cards didn't have any layers)...I made some of these for 'Thank you' gifts for the people that placed holiday orders with me and also for some of my daughter's dance teachers. It is really simple and quick. You can find the directions for most of the 3D items I make on splitcoasterstampers.com (I'm a really great copier!)
