Throwback Thursday: Chineese Fold Box

This was a Chineese Fold Box I made for a co-worker's birthday.  I filled the inside of the box with Hershey Chocolate Kisses.  The flowers on top really make this box special.

July Stamping Class Sneak Peak

As I prepare for my July Stamping Class this Friday, I wanted to share a sneak peak of one the projects...I can't stop using the Flower Shop and Petite Petals stamp sets and punches...  it's colorful and I think the girls will love it!

 

Technique Tuesday: Shattered Glass

Today I am sharing the Shattered Glass Technique.  This one is an oldie but goodie... I love the way the Navy and the Mustard colors look together.  The white lines are so vibrant... almost looks like the Crayon Resist Technique.  Hope this inspires you today!!

Color Combo Challenge: The Open Sea

Today's "Color Combo Challenge" is definitely a challenge for me because these are colors that are not part of my comfort zone.  I normally would not work with these colors together.  I usually go with elegant and understated, but sometimes you have to step out of the box and try new things.  And it always works if you keep it simple.

Black & White Birthday Card

Made this Black and White birthday card for a friend who is an older, but classy women.  I think this card is perfect.  

Paint Chip Gorgeous

In cleaning out my craft room this weekend I came across this card and I had to post it again.  It's amazing what you can do with paint chips from Home Depot.  I miss this stamp set... Fifth Avenue Floral.

I picked out the paint chips and then I made the card to match using Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and a little touch of So Saffron.  The card stock background is Basic Gray.  Hope this inspires you.

 

Round and Round we go...

Sometimes it nice to just play around with shapes.  I decided to use some scraps of DSP and some scraps of card stock and I made this card for a kids birthday card.  I kept it simple, except I did run the card stock pieces through the Chevron embossing folder to give the card some depth.
