A nice card with bleaching technique and also water colored images on water color paper.  Combination of the Nature Walk stamp set and Nature's nest stamp set.

This card is cased from Dawn on Dawn's stampin' thoughts and is a self standing card below it is openned and stamding up on it's own  Love the retro look.  Mine has different colors but used the same concept and bigger circles than hers.

 Here are some little mini purses I made for the craft show at the armory; they are just big enough for a small snickers and a cute poem about excuses  to eat chocolate.

Also some cute maganets made from the fun flowers die.

My Card Class at the Community Center

This week I was able to teach SIX  (count them 6 Ladies) card making.  Our class is called Cards and Chatter and we meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at the Citrus Springs Community Center  between Holder and Dunnellon.  It is alot of Fun and we usually make 3 card for $10.  Normally I don't have my Camera along but this week I happened to have it along and snapped a pic of our group.  They love to chat with each other as they are stamping and assembling their cards.  I bring the materials to use and they are already cut ready to stamp and assemble.  We usually get there at 11 am and are finished usually before 1 pm.  These ladies really enjoy learning new techniques and folds while learning the art of card making.   Here are a few snaps

Here are my card making friends

This one is called imbedded or inlaid embossing and is done with the big shot and sizzix folders.

Visit to the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs

I have lived in Florida all my life and never visited Tarpon Springs.  My friend and bead teacher Marsha asked me to go with her to pick up her friend Terri from Massachusetts at the Airport a few weeks back.  We picked her up and went to a Stamp show in Clearwater and then had lunch in Tarpon Springs which was a new thing for me.  I had my camera along so I thought I would post some pictures to my blog for you to see.   Marsha's sister  Joan went along with and was our very great driver.

Here is one of the big boats

Some gals playing the ukeleles and singing  there were several people playing and singing for tips.

Card Class

Here are some of the cards we will be making in one of my card classes

Granddaughter's 1st Birthday card

Anyone that knows me knows how much I love my SU punches. This card is for my granddaughter Abby's 1st Birthday.  I found a rag doll pattern on Kim Scores blog and made the little doll ride on a swing.  I had made a raggedy Ann years ago but I love this one even better.  Let me know what you think

This is the out side

The inside

I hand wrote on the inside yum yum It's fun to be one!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Trying Something New

Shelli challenged us to step out of our comfort zone and try something new.  My comfort zone is ususally the cutesy type cards and scrapbooking.  So I am  attempting a new technique Split negative that  I learned from Michele Zindorf's blog and a new style more Elegant type.  If you stop by let me know how you like it.  I liked it so well I designed a card for my classes to duplicate.

Here is my first card

It is an Easel Type card.

This is the inside

This is the easel propped up with a tiny rose done with the large oval and build an owl punches also used the bird punch for the leaves.

here is the close up at the rose and you can see that I also used the new framed tulip embossing folder that goes throught the big shot.

Okay now look and see what I did from that point.  I actually liked this so here are some more

This was the class card they had their choice to do it this way or

this way..  Then I thought I would do my swap card for leadership like this too

How do you like it?

So I added our Rhinestones to two spots  just a little bling

This is the same design but I separated the black and white scallop from the Scallop #2 die and added lots of bling this time.

I hope you enjoyed  my attempt at new things

I used Bashful Blue and Blushing Bride and Riding hood Red card stock plus the new build a blossom punch and the tasteful trims die.

Kusadama Christmas Tree

Origami Christmas Tree
this is my own original design.  I have not seen the tree made with the flowers yet.  I have also made a Kusadama Ball as posted in a previous post.  To make the Tree you must make 15 flowers each with separately made petals.  Once 5 petals each made with squares are assembled and glued together you have one flower. To make each layer you need 5 flowers joined together to make a ring. 
The bottom layer is made with 4x4 inch squares so you need 25 pieces of 4x4 for the bottom layer.
The next layer is made from 3x3 and the top layer made with 2x2 inch squares.   This project is time consuming but I like the results in the long run.  I used the boho blossom punch from Stampin' UP!
to cover the hole in the center and added one of the shiny Rhinestone brads to the center to bling it up a bit.  The Angel is a Christmas Ornament that I also added the SU Rhinestones to.  I used a clay pot underneath and Put a clothespin in the center of some Floral Foam to hold the tree in place.  Visit my website if you would like to purchase some SU products.  http://dpippin.stampinup.net/
