Hello All!

Here are a few more Cards I worked on from the

Stamp and Scrapbook Expo, I attended in Chantilly, VA with

My good friend Gisele!

These are the rest of the Cards from the

Mega Make & Take on Thursday Night!

Here they are!

This is what they pictured for a mini album.

 

I don’t scrapbook anymore, so I made mine a triple fold card!

On Flap #1, I heat embossed in White the flower and greeting!

 

On the second flap, same flower, different greeting!

 

Here is my inside!

This would be a great masculine card too!

 

Card #2

At first I thought these were muffins! The instructor said they were cookies!

The inside of the Card!

 

Card #3-this one is different…it took most of the night to do!

Each and every bead is put on one at a time. OK for a small item like this…but,

they had medium and large kits, no small kits like this. Truth be told…not my cup of tea!

The inside was stamped at the show that night.

 

Card #4-this one is cute!

I had to hold it shut for it’s glamor shot!

 

Here he is opened up!

This little guy is adorable! I ended up buying the Dies for the Flamingo Card!

Stay tuned for,

when I get to playing with those!

Card #5-the very first card we made!

We were handed all the layers…we had to cut them out, one frame smaller, each piece!

Inside Card #5

This is a great Masculine Card!

 

Card #6

We made the Frame with all the items here…I just attached mine to

a Crumb Cake card base!

 

Inside Card #6

 

Card #7-totally made this one at home!

I had to cut out the bird under the glass bead/dome!

I also used the Bird Ballad DSP from Stampin’Up!

I didn’t care for the dsp paper they had!

 

Here is the inside of Card #7!

Yes! I had to make another one…it is a gift to give with the Card!

Here is a close-up of the pendant!

That is it for the Make & Takes I have done! I still have another to finish,

but I will wait till I get back, from “Sister’s Week”!

 

Until the next Post…Blessings and Mega Fun to you ALL!

Hello Everyone!

 

I am warning you now…this is picture heavy!

 

Here are some  more of the cards I made from the Mega Make & Take

 from the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo in Chantilly, VA.

What we couldn’t finish there, we could finish at home.

On Sunday and Monday, I worked on the cards and other projects.

These Cards are part of the last project we worked on…!

 

Card # 1

This was made following the instructions in the kit…I did change up

a couple of the die-cuts, to make it mine!

 Here is the inside of Card #1!

Looks like a fun Partay!

That is all for now on this Post!

 

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

I am working on several other items.

I will be staggering them over the next couple of days!

I am going to RI for “Sister’s Week”!

I hope you enjoy all the Cards I worked on

from the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo!

Hello All!

Summer is Here!

I’ve been MIA, I went to a

Stamp and Scrapbook Expo in Chantilly, VA this past weekend!

I went with a good friend, Gisele…we had a great time!

So much to do and see for us!

I spent more than I thought I would, but when I tallied up the receipts

I didn’t do as bad as I thought!!!!

One of the Classes we did was on Thursday Evening

called the Mega Make & Take…

It was from 5pm to Midnight…

We made all of what we wanted and brought the rest home to finish.

Today’s Card is made from some of the leftovers from the

last kit in the Mega Make & Take!

Very Beachy and fun!

I used 2 Challengers for today’s card.

An inspiration photo and a sketch challenge!

Here are the Challengers!

 

The Inspiration: Just Us Girls #493  (JUGS493)

I would drink the one on the left!!!

 

The Sketch Challenger: the Paper Players #447 (PP447)

 

Here is my Card!

I used Stampin’Up! Cardstock, Coastal Cabana, for the card base!

The rest of the supplies are from the packet!

 

Here is how I finished the inside!

There were quite a few of these kind of sentiments in the package!

 

The packet was all inclusive to make a scrapbook page and 2 cards. I did make the cards

(I don’t scrapbook anymore) so I used all the items to make many cards. I will be posting

them for you to see, and also the items made in each of our Workshops we took!

 

 

Until the next Post…Blessings and Beachy Fun to you ALL!
