Quilted Anniversary Card

This card popped into my head this afternoon while I was having some "tv therapy"!  Our grandson, James, was supposed to be having his nap, but he decided today that would not happen.  He is so funny to listen to when he is supposed to be sleeping, all that talking to his Puppy and Monkey who keep him company in his bed.  Then there is the singing .......  I love it!

I have wanted to make one of the "Quilted" cards that are so popular right now, and this is what I came up with.  Both birds have rhinestone eyes, but for some reason the one on the right is not showing up.
Stamps:  Something To Celebrate (sentiment)
Ink:  Rose Red
Paper:  Springtime Vintage DSP
Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight
Punches:  5 Petal Flower, Boho Blossom, 1/4" Circle, Double Circle (retired can use smallest eye part from the 2 Step Owl Punch), Itty Bitty Shapes circle, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, 2 Step Bird
Other:  Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones
I hope you get a chance to try one of these cards soon.  All you do is assemble your entire card front, then run the whole thing through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  It looks quilted in real life.  I also made and put the flower on the sentiment through the embossing folder.  Then I added the rhinestones and put the sentiment on the front.
Hope you can come back soon, Happy Stampin' ..... 

Happy Together - CASEd Card

The Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue is definitely all THAT.  It is chocker block full of great card, 3D, and Scrapbooking projects.  Inspiration is never more than the turn of a page away when you have this catalogue.  I CASEd this one from page 75 of the Stampin' Up! IBC 2010-11 .......

This card is so quick to do, I am sure it would fit the bill for a "10 Minute Challenge" card. 
Stamp Set: Happy Together
Ink:  More Mustard, Certainly Celery, Early Espresso, and Poppy Parade
Cardstock:  Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Whisper White and Poppy Parade
Other:  Clear Rhinestone Brad
These little birds are just darling and soooo cute!
This week my classes start for 2011.  I can't wait to see everyone again, its been a whole year!!!!  LOL

Bye for now, Happy Stampin'     Glenda Mollet

Owl Love - CASEd Card

When I first saw this card, I instantly fell in love with how whimsical it is.  The cute owls are just perfect looking at each other with lovey-dovey eyes.  The Sunny Garden Designer Series paper makes it a bright and fun card.  I CASEd this one from Lynn Put.  Check out her blog - she is truly gifted!  Here is my version - I did change it up a bit from the original ..............

I used a sentiment for an anniversary, added some whisper white leaf punches and a white button.  I also changed out the striped DSP for some polka dotted one to make it a bit softer. 
Happy Tuesday everyone.  Only 4 shopping days left (including today), I hope you are ready and not out fighting those horrible crowds.  Bye for now .......  Glenda Mollet
