One week hiatus

Hi there!

Another break??  What gives?  Here's the story.  I went to Hong Kong last week and it was amazing!  But I didn't bring my crafting supplies with me to HK!  Now I do have some cards ready to show you, but, they are for a class that I am hosting next week.  I do now try to hold back showing you cards before my guests get to make them.  I don't want to ruin the surprise.  

All the cards that were posted while I was away were from a class I had previously done.  Wasn't that good of me?!  I made cards for a class and also made extra for the artisan fair.

So I will try to post a little picture for you this week of one of the highlights of my trip.

I hope you are all keeping well!

Another baby card

Here is the masculine version of the last card I posted!  I love this stamp set and really like using it for baby cards.  I do have another set that I really like and I will show you a card for that in an upcoming post!

Hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend!

Baby card

Hey there!

Are any of these cards helping to get your creative juices flowing?  I sure hope so!!!  Here's another one I worked on recently.  I actually have yet to tell you about a creative retreat that I went on.  I will get to that soon enough.  But at the retreat I was so lucky to be on my A-Game for getting things done. I made a ton of cards and managed to prep for some others.  I was tired at the end.  But it was such a great time and so useful to commit that time to card making, especially with the upcoming artisan market that I'm participating in!

Hi there!

Are you glad I'm back to my old blogging self (well almost).  It's been pretty busy lately, but here's another card that I wanted to share with you! 


This is another card that I will be including in the packs of cards that I sell at the upcoming craft fair!

Take care!

Thank you card

Here is a thank you card that I made some time ago.  I am finally getting around to sharing it!  I have included this card in one of the sets that I am making for the upcoming craft fair!!!



I hope you are all well!

The invites are finished

I finished the invites within my deadline.  I was quite pleased with them actually.  If I did them again I might change a few things, but overall I think they were a hit.

On top of that, I have been accepted into a local artisan guild and will be participating in my first craft show in November.  So my posting will continue to be limited because I'm beavering away with cards and wreaths.  Nevertheless, I have some exciting cards to share with you over the next little while.  I'm going to forego the products list, but know it's all from Stampin' Up!  If you can't figure out the products, then just ping me an email!

Here goes!



This was a birthday card for a friend.

And thanks for being so patient!

Happy crafting!

Alive and well

Hello there!

I am alive and well, and I hope each of you are as well.  I have been wrapped up in my invitation project and I do apologize for the lack of posts.  I will just post quickly here to show you an invitation I did recently for a surprise party that my sister threw for my Mom!  She was very surprised to say the least!!!



As you can see, I used the Patio Party suite (DSP and stamp set) for these invitations.  The other version of it uses the cupcake paper!!  I also used the current in colours for my card stock.  How did I make the 3 layer cake you ask?  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig which has become a bit of a must for me lately!  It is so good and it helps you ensure that your stamped image is exactly where you want it.  No more guess work!  If you look closely at the pictures, you will see that I used the small white brad to help keep the front closed!

I hope you are all keeping well.  I will be working on the invites for about another 10 days, but after that I promise to get back into a good blogging routine!

Take care,
K8
