Hello from CHA!! I flew in late last night and am excited to hit the floor today.
This is a super quick (and cute) card I made for one of my bestest girlfriends. We’re only 6 days apart in birthdays. I used some paper from the Happy Bird Day Caboodle kit, Stickled their little birdie bellies with Stardust and then stamped my greeting in Palette Noir onto the white twill ribbon. Easy peasy!!
I’m definitely stopping by Three Bugs In A Rug to see their new Caboodle Kits today! The current ones are on sale for only $8…so grab them now!!
Tomorrow is our DT dinner – YUMMO! I’m so excited to get to meet some of my DT girls in person!! CHA is always a great time to meet up with people.
Today, we are sponsoring the CHA coverage over at Craft Critique so please pop on over there (there might even be something in it for you!) and see all the great pictures, products and overall coverage. They always do a bang-up job at CHA and I’m sure this year will be no different!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
I am NOT a wide ribbon gal. I love dainty little ribbons that I can knot and bow and tie easily. So today, the IHP DT was challenged to use wide ribbon. Now, I suppose the term “wide’ is subjective but for me anything over 5/8” or 7/8” is wide. My card uses 1 1/2” May Arts WIDE white silk ribbon. This ribbon is so luscious and remarkably easy to knot and bow. I have to admit, I do like the look of the full bow…maybe this is a slippery slope!
I used some paper from the Wisteria collection – I’ve been hoarding this too. Isn’t it pretty? I love the colors. I used my Long Scalloped Rectangle Nesties to make the perfect size mat by running the piece through twice and lining up the scallops to get the perfect size and then used some circle Nesties to make the tag. The greeting is stamped in Palette Violette.
Please go visit the other DT blogs to see their great projects and one of them even has blog candy! I’m not telling who though…you’ll have to visit to find out!

Have a great week! I’m off to CHA with 5 members of the DT! We’re going to have a blast and I’m sure I’ll return with lots of industry news, IHP news and pictures! Thanks for stopping by!
ORDERS WILL NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL AUG. 3
Happy Friday!!
I love black and white with a bright color. Today I took some Washed paper from the Piggy Tales Itsy Bitsy Spider collection. I used both sides on this card and some scraps of my white twill ribbon. I stamped the greeting from Chelsea Greetings in Palette Noir and then added some clear gems along side of the greeting as well as in the ticket punched corners.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great weekend planned! I'll be packing and getting ready for CHA next week! I'm so excited! There are going to be six of us there from IHP and we're having a big dinner Thursday night!
I'm hoping to be able to blog from there about the new goodies I'm ordering, but we'll see!
I’m baaaacck. Niagara Falls was absolutely wonderful. This is a picture from our hotel room. (It’s a panoramic shot so be sure to click it to get the whole thing.)
Let’s all say “ooohhhh” together now. (Kudos to the Fallsview Marriott. Everything was perfect.)
If you’d like to see more pictures you can view my Kodak Stream here. All orders are packed and ready to go out first thing in the morning. Thank you all for your patience while I was taking a short break.
CHA is next week and I’m sure I’ll have lots of news from that, as well as some other big news coming up. Stay tuned!
This is the card I sent Deb for her birthday a few weeks ago! I used the Hap Bee Day set and stamped this cutie in Palette Noir. Then I colored him with Melon, Pitch Black and Yellow Spica pens. I used some of the Piggy Tales Itsy Bitsy Spider collection, this time using some Washed pieces and the small scale side of Spout. I love that a lot of the PT papers have a large scale on one side and then the same design in a smaller scale on the other side. It finished it off with some of the stitched black/yellow ribbon – perfect for bee cards!!
Thanks for stopping by today!
OK, are you sick of these butterflies yet? I’m done after this one I think…
This is quick and simple card. I used one of the die cut butterflies from this paper. I mounted him on a Nestie circle over some of the pink/brown reversible satin ribbon and then stamped the greeting from Expressions in Palette Burnt Umber. It needed a little bling so I used my Cotton Candy stickles to make little dots around the scallops and TADA!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!
