Here's the inside of new card I made

Another basic gray flower card

Well, since I liked the Basic Gray flower card I made yesterday, I made another with the remaining leftover pieces of the flowers/leaves die for my Big Shot and here's what I came up with. Not bad, huh????
The picture above shows the inside of the card. The size of this card is perfect for a gift card so that's what I did for the inside. I love the very versatile stamp set in the new Mini Occasions catalog.......the words work great with a lot of the punches I love to use.
Have a great weekend!!!!! It is supposed to be cold and rainy...get some stamping done! Annette

Basic Gray and Kiwi Kiss Flower

I just love how this card turned out! After cutting paper for my Make and Take on Saturday, I had a leftover piece of DS paper sitting in front of me. I grabbed a stamped image of Trendy Tree that I ended up not using and started playing around with it.

I then I flipped the paper over and decided that the Basic gray (lovin' it) side was so beautiful that I needed to create something with it. Petal Pizzazz was near so I grabbed it, too.

Sometimes its nice to have a messy stamping area...so that you can just grab things in front of you and start creating!!!! Annette

Pretty Pop-Out Flowers

Sorry I can't remember the name of this set at this particular moment- it's retired, but I had to whip up Easter Cards yesterday and get them in the mail on the same day....I'm slipping on my New Years resolution to get cards in the mail on time (ug).

I have a baggy of "stuff" I stamped/made for a card and then decided not to use it in the card...etc...but of course I can't throw it away so I put it in a bag for "some other time". Luckily I remembered to grab my "some other time" baggy and just threw all these pieces together with our new scallop oval punch and there's a quick Easter card!

Bird Box

Here is one of the projects we made at my last hostess club. I have seen a lot of these around the Internet and watched a video on http://www.chicnscratch.typepad.com/. I modified it a little and added a lid. Otherwise it is the same. Thank you for sharing the directions with all of us!!!
A few more pictures below show the lid and handle. A very fun project to make and I plan to make more with different sets and give them away as gift sets in the future. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!!
