Card Organizer #5

Here is the very last of my Card Organizers for you.  This is #5 ... ... ...

I have been hoarding this retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper for a while.  It is called Ginger Blossom and had River Rock, Groovy Guava and Ruby Red in it.  So when the Colour Renovation happened in July to all of Stampin' Up!s colours, I was extatic to see that River Rock was coming back (now just need Groovy Guava too)!  The stamp is Embrace Life, also retired.  This is one of my all time favourite sets, and I don't think I will ever get rid of it.  The sentiment was cut out with Nestabilities Labels Thirteen.  I added Basic Rhinestones in the flower centers and the 3 diamonds across the center of the sentiment.  A few Little Leaves Die cut out from River Rock cardstock finishes it all off.  I also had some River Rock ribbon left over so added some of that too.  Again, its all bound with my Bind It All.
Ah, that's it for organizers.  I have also been doing some Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders, so will start that series tomorrow for you.  I will be back making cards real soon.  I got all my Christmas cards done, and addressed.  Now just have to put stamps on them, put letters into relatives ones, and get them in the mail.

Bye for now, thanks for visitin'.  Happy Stampin' .. Glenda Mollet

Card Organizer #4

Here is Card Organizer #4 for you .... ..... ....

I used Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black and Whisper White cardstocks for this one, and pulled out Cottage Wall DSP.  The current Rich Razzleberry 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain ribbon was just perfect on the front.  I used nestabilities again to cut out the sentiment, then I stamped one of the swirls from Stampin' Up!s set "Priceless" in Old Olive.  Before stamping it on the sentiment, I stamped it off on some scrap paper so it would be more muted.  I sponged some Rich Razzleberry around the sentiment piece before I popped it up on dimensionals on the front.  I used my Bind It All again to bind the entire thing together.
I love making these organizers, the insides are so simple, and the frame of the outside goes quickly.  Then you have lots of time left over to go wild with the embellishments and decorations on the front.
Thanks for visiting, I'll be  back tomorrow with organizer #5.
Tomorrow night is my Annual Customer Appreciation Party and I can't wait!  We are going to have so much fun.  If you signed up and are coming, we are going to make a FREE card, have some yummy eats, and do the draws for all the FREEBIES I have been collecting all year.  I counted them today, oh my there are LOTS and LOTS of them!

Card Organizer #3

James has gone home, we had such a great time!  I love pajama parties with an almost 3 yr old, and what happens at Gramma's house, stays at Gramma's house!  Ha.
Today I have card organizer #3 for you ... ... ...

 This one uses retired Stampin' Up! designer series paper "Bella Bleu", Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake cardstock and inks.  The flower stamps are part of the new Growing Green set.  In the middle of each flower is a Glimmer Brad from the Neutrals Collection.  I used Nestabilities Labels 2 and 3 to make the sentiment piece and the Not Quite Navy piece in behind.  I added a few Basic Pearls as well.  Here is an upclose picture of the ribbon and bow treatment and I tried to capture the sparkle from the Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz I used on the DSP.

Thanks for visiting, hope your weekend went well.  I'll be back tomorrow with organizer #4.

Card Organizer #2

Back again, now its raining cats and dogs here.  Boy, you never can tell when you go to bed at night, what you will wake up to in the morning!
Here is the second Card Organizer folder I made for the upcoming Craft Fair ....

Some more retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper.  This time it is Tea and Crumpets.  It has Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip and Always Artichoke in it. I chose some also retired Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon to adorne the front.  I cut the sentiment piece out with my Nestabilities Labels 1 and while the die was still on, I sponged around the inside of it with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink.  It leaves a lovely white border around the outside, I added 3 Basic Pearls to the sentiment piece (I printed the sentiment off on my computer).  I made a ribbon rose with the Chocolate Chip ribbon and put a Basic Pearl in the middle.  The ribbon / bow embellishment also has 3 Basic Pearls on each side of the bow.  Once again I used my Bind It All to bind the whole thing together.  The inside pages are made out of more Tea and Crumpets DSP.
Thanks again for visiting.  Hope you have a super weekend.  I will be back tomorrow with Card Organizer #3.  Now off to play with our grandson, James.  He came over last night and we had a "Pajama Party".  We did some "baking" and did some Christmas craft making, and did some punching.  It was a busy day.  He is only 2 yrs and 8 months but LOVES Gramma's craft room!

Card Organizer #1

I hope you all got a chance to visit my blog yesterday for the last installment of Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop for 2010. I love creating with Tilda and Edwin.  I find it very relaxing.
Anyways, today I begin my series of Card Organizers I made for an upcoming Craft Sale.  Here is the first one ... ... ...

As these are for a craft fair, I used some retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper and some retired Stampin' Up! cardstocks.  I used my Bind It All to bind the whole thing together.  I used the SCS tutorial for making the inside pages.  But I used DSP instead of cardstock to make the pages. I used Nestabilities Label 5 and hand cut some of the flowers from the Island Oasis DSP.  For the black pieces I used my Fancy Favour Box die and just cut a strip along the fancy top part of the die.  It turned out great.  I hope you enjoy my next few posts of Card Organizers.
Thanks, hope you are staying warm and not snowed in.  I have had to shovel twice this week as my DH is out of town again.  I did enjoy the shovelling tho, because a couple of years ago DH bought a snow scoop and it makes shovelling so much easier on the back.  No visits to the chiropractor in my near future!
Here is a picture of our snow .....
