A Happy B'day tent card

Hi everyone,hope you are all having a great week. It's almost the weeken again, I just can't believe it. It seems that I don't get anything done,but yet the days go by so quick! So this is a B'day card I made for a friend of mine. She really liked a Tent card I had shown her,so I decided to make her one. She also knows how important Butterflies are to me,so I'm sure she will love the dp and the SU & MS punches,in the tent part I stamped the square HB sentiment from Punch Bunch SU and also used the SU punch to punch it out. (That's alot of punches in one phrase isn't it,lol) I hope she will like it,her b'day is on the 19th,gee we're getting old,but young at heart!
This is a side view of the card to show you that it's a Tent Card.

Not the best pic,but I'm the worst photographer,what can I say.


So until next post,I'm trying to recooperate from a busy last 7 days,I wonder if I'll ever be healthy like I used to be. I guess I should be Thankful for I what have right!

Even though I am Thankful,I always think of the days before I was sick...good old days!


Have a wonderful day,Hugs,Diane

Pumpkin Pie

Here's another card from Saturday. No I didn't make a Pumpkin Pie,hehe! Pumpkin pie all the way! Used the frame punch for the sentiment,sponged around it. Then used the heart punch with the hostess punch potpourri set,sponged it around also. Did another punch in PP and the back punch is MS. I forgot to take a pic of the inside,but I added a wh cs and stamped some lovely flowers in the corner. That is it,simple and oh so pretty! So today I have a cleaning at the dentist,yay! Then maybe a little of playing time. Oh I have to decide what we're going to make for dinner. Wish we could just take a pill instead of all this food,lol! Have a super monday! Hugs,Diane

I enjoyed my day sooooo much!

This one was one of their favorites! Well I had my ladies over yesterday and it was such a blast! We made 8 cards and a little treat bag. They really enjoyed making all the cards,working with diff tools,loved it,so they said! They got here at 12:15 and left at 4:45,it was so funny,one lady that had never made cards before,she didn't want to leave,lol! She asked when the next one was,lol~! Now onto the card,I love the effect of inking the brayer on the CB embosser,added a ribbon and a few punches and also used the butterflie die cut. I just love the vintage effect that the ink made. There's one thing that isn't SU which is the laced butterfly (MS) & the folder (CB)but all other products are SU! CS-Soft Suede,Pretty in Pink Ink-Soft Suede So now I'm off to clean yesterday's mess,not as much fun! Have a great Sunday! Hugs,Diane

Happy friday!

Here's my girlie card. I made an easel card using a Lily of the Valley image (Wish Rak) I love their stamps but don't own one of them,so I was really happy to receive this one. I didn't put a sentiment yet,not sure what I'll use it for. It's too bad you can't see the glitter in the wings and the glossy accent on the bow and her slippers. Real cute IRL! I've got a busy weekend ahead...I'm participating in a Dance-a-thon tonight to raise money for a new women shelter that opened in town. I raised $84.00, and am suppose to dance for 3 hrs. I told the organization that i rec'd a tx 8 months ago,so I will dance as long as I can but I know I won't last 3 hrs. So totally understood and we're happy that I am still participating. Then my card stack on saturday,that'll be so much fun. Four ladies are coming so lots of gabbing and card making! And on Sunday I have to go and try some clothes for a Fashion Show that I'll be in on next Tuesday,another fun event!!!! LIFE IS GREAT!!!! Hugs,Diane

New designer paper

Don't you just love this new dp from SU! It's just beautiful I think! I used all SU product except the 2 baby blue bling on each side of the sentiment. So it's almost the weekend once again. Days are just flying by,it's morning and then time to go to bed again. What's up with that! Must be cause I'm getting older,lol. I just finished coloring a wish rak image that I rec'd a little while back. I haven't made a girlie card in awhile so I might just attemt to do that this afternoon. Wishing you all a great rest of the day! Hugs,Diane

Can't wait for saturday!

Oh boy,it looks like there was a tornadoe in here! I've been making cards all day,actually I made 5 of them and oh I'm so excited! I have 4 ladies that will be coming over on saturday for a card stack,I think that's what they call it. Anyways,so that's what I did all afternoon until 8 pm (I did have dinner though,15 mins). I got 7 cards ready for 5 ladies (just in case someone brings an extra person). And I made a little bag which I will give to a lucky lady with some goodies in it. Oh I can't wait! This card isn't one for saturday,it's a card I made yesterday with some left overs which will go in my stack. Again I used the same dp and made a little bird from SU's bird punch,added some dollar heart brads,a sentiment and embossed the card base with a CB folder. I had such a productive day,did some dusting,washed my floors,threw a stew in the crockpot (love to do that,cause then you have dinner ready while doing all kinds of stuff)...played for the rest of the day. Not sure what I'll do today,I do have to go to the bank and then Tops meeting at night. I guess I should take it easy,don't want to pay for doing too much,lol! Guess I should stop yapping,that's if you're still reading,lol! Have a great tuesday everyone!!! Hugs,Diane

Rose from a bird punch!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had a quiet one which was good. I did manage to make a couple of cards,it felt so good! I used the SU Bird punch to make a rose which I saw on Frenchie's blog (Thanks France!). It is all SU,Melom mambo cs and ink,corner punch,label punch,ribbon and dp. I bought the dp a good sale price in SU's clearance last yr,so I have lots still to use. Just love that paper. Added some pink pearls (oops not SU) and Voila! Makes a nice Mother's Day card dontcha think! Have a super week my friends! Hugs,Diane
