Rejoice....





Wow, I have worked all week trying to get this card just so, it is my first commissioned card for a great lady at Church who is going to her Granddaughter's Wedding in Florida at the end of this week. She told me the colors were pink and silver and she wanted something really special, so this is what I came up with.
To make this card you need to see the Chris Cross Tutorial over at SCS.
My main criss cross card was made from Silver paper from Creative Memories and I ran just one panel through the cuttlebug embossing folder divine swirls. Next I cut my triangles from Regal Rose Card stock and stamped them with the doodle from Doodle this stamp set in Versamark ink. Then I made a belt from some leftover silver paper some ribbon and cord, on the back I covered the belt with the double wedding bell sticker. When the versamark had dried I went back over it with stickles to make the card more special and jazzy and I also added a floral sticker to the bottom corner. For the pocket part of the card I layered up the card stock added a round tab punch a dove sticker and then stamped the card using the same stamp inked up with Regal Rose I masked off the right side so I had room to stamp the sentiment ..This is the day the Lord has made...I thought this would be great for a special wedding card. When the ink dried I put more stickles on the card. I am going to leave the back til she can see it this am and then we can figure out what type of personal greeting she wants on the back and then I will print it out and attach it to the back. This card is so grand IRL I am really happy with it.

Bright Fluffles...


I just love coloring my new fluffle stamps. This card was made using some pretty bright colors but they matched the ribbon so perfectly. I picked the ribbon up at Wal-Mart a while back it was in the clearance bin, my lucky day! SU colors matched perfectly, So Saffron, Pixie Pink and Only Orange.
I ran the Orange Card Stock through the Cuttle Bug Embossing folder and used the ticket corner punch.
The flowers were colored using the ink pads and a blender pen and they also have some stickles in the center.
This card is making its way as I type to Canada in a special WRAK package caring some goodies to a certain Disney Freak (WINK, WINK).
I just have to color my Kitty's orange in honor of our newest family member, Tammy the Cat. She is just a few months old and is so loving, and she also likes my crafting toys and my DD's toys etc...
We are getting ready to pour our patio this evening, it is great having a hubby who works with concrete. I will get some photos for you and post them over the weekend, not sure how much time I will have to stamp he has me making a Southern Feast for all his helpers, fried chicken, sweet potatoes, turnip greens, black eyed peas and corn bread. Anyone hungry?
Have a wonderful weekend.

Simply Said Re-Do...


So I just was not happy enough to leave the card from yesterday as is so I set out this A.M. to make some changes. First I took the two panel system down to one and I still used the tag corner punch I also went a little lighter on the inking of the edges. The additions I made were some GG ribbon, word window punches, rhinestones and some stitched doodling. (The color still is off in the photo but it is a match IRL.)
So as the Eye Dr. says...One or Two? (One would be yesterdays post and Two is the card today.)
Have a good one.

I can see clearly...

I can see clearly now, I have the correct glasses back on. It has been over a week since my DD broke my glasses and I got mine back today, YES! The feeling you get when you put on a new pair of glasses is so funny.
This is another card I played around with using some comments on favorite colors. This was Pretty in Pink and Chocolate chip, the color is way off in my photo around the edges where I sponged, IRL it matches perfectly. I used the Tag corner punch from SU, the only place I should not have used it is on the sentiment, this rectangle was to small and it looks funny to me, POINTY.
Maybe this is why I am seeing faults with this card now.

Quick Sympathy card...


This is a fast five minute card, I have been working with sympathy cards lately as a special request for a lady at Church. This card uses the Divine Swirl Cuttle Bug embossing folder, some black GG ribbon a simple sentiment from SU and some card stock. The colors used are very vanilla, night of navy and basic black. I also rounded the corners and used the ticket corner punch on the sentiment to get some more detail on the card.
Wow, I have been cleaning my stamping space today, I was so very unorganized on Saturday at the Craft Fair that I just had to take time to get my stuff in order. I have been cataloging and photographing all of my stamp sets and craft supplies, what a job (when things are packed in carts and totes you don't realize all that you have).
Thank you for checking in today have a great one!

"Coffee" Treat Bags Spooky style...



I love these coffee bags have been using them for awhile now I actually bought a bulk buy and I have some if you are interested please leave a comment with your email or you can email me at paschal.sara@gmail.com.
10 per pack for $5.00
or
5 per pack "decorated as shown" for $3.00
Plus shipping-to be determined with your order.
I used black staz-on for the spiders on the bag because the bag has a glossy finish. This circles are punched out and I cut out the spider circles and placed them on with double stick tape. "Spooky Sweets' is the stamp set used once again. Just a few days out from the new stamps sets over at Paper Trey, on the 15th of every month new sets are revealed this time she has let us know that the four new sets will be holiday- can't wait!
Have a great day and thanks for checking in today.

First of all I want to thank those who used the Poll on the right side of my page, I was asking that question because I am doing a craft fair Saturday and was not sure how to go about with the nuggets. My concerns were... too much chocolate in the house, it would never make it to the fair, next was that Halloween is actually still well over 6 weeks out and was not sure how product would hold up. So I have taken the advise from the poll and from friends to go about it this way. I have packets ready to go all the buyer has to do is supply they candy, wrap the label around the candy and staple the cover of card stock.
So wish me luck it has been over five years since my last show but I am ready to go now especially after how well the sale went at Church for the Jr. High trip. (I have even been asked for more cards so that is nice.)
So I used Only Orange and black staz-on, the small bags are from Hobby Lobby and you can fit one nugget in the way I have it or two in if you turn them the other direction. You know by now that the stamp set is by Paper Trey and it is called Spooky Sweets, gotta get one it is wonderful!
No post on Saturday, I need to get up early early to be in Centerville by 7:30 A.M.
Have a great day!
