Valentine's Day card using a paper doilie

Hey, everyone! I've been wanting to play with paper doilies for Valentine's Day, but time has been getting away from me. Today I finally sat down and made a card with a doilie. I think doilies are fun!! I tried punching the doilie, but didn't get clean cuts. So, I skipped the punches, but I think if I get time before Valentine's Day, I'll have to try cutting the doilies with our Big Shot dies and see what I can make with them. If you decide to make something with a doilie, I'd love to see it!! You can email me at lunchlady42@comcast.net

How do you like those next pictures? It's what my video taping table looks like after I've made something!! The good news is that this fall we redid my stamping room and now everything has a place. So, it only took 5 minutes to clean up!! That's a good thing!! :)

Well, here is a video of me making the card. Please excuse my sniffles, my allergies started acting up today right before filming this video. If I had to wait until everything was perfect, nothing would get done! So, I went ahead and filmed, but I didn't realize how bad I sounded!! Bear with me!!

Monkey Swinging From Vine Birthday Card

Two variations of the same card. The first one is super easy. And Economical and quick--all important when mass producing something. The second one adds more layers (1/4" was removed from all four sides of the first card, and then it was adhered to a 4 x 5.25" chocolate chip cardstock) and also some dimension with the pop up monkey face (monkey was stamped in chocolate chip on creamy caramel cardstock and then cut out). If you have noticable sponging in the monkey face, this is a good solution for fixing it.

Here's a video for how to create the first card.

Nature's Nest masculine birthday card

This is a birthday card I made with the Nature's Nest set. I love this set!! I'm partial to nature stamps anyway. Unfortunately, I haven't had played with this set enough. I hope you don't mind that I took a break from the Occassions mini catalog to play with this set. I just love it!!

Here is a video tutorial for how to make this card. It's a bit choppy because I had to edit 4 min 30 seconds out of the video. Anyway, I hope this helps you figure out how to copy my card.

Mother's Day Card with paper flowers

Here is a simple little card for Mother's Day.

Do you know what today is?

It's Ground Hog's Day!!! And it also is my daughter's birthday!! She used to be upset that her birthday was Ground Hog's Day. She doesn't care anymore, but when she was little, she did! LOL! Of course, her grandpa loved to get her going--he would call her on her birthday when she was about 3 and ask her if she knew what day it was--Ground Hog's Day; she'd vehemently tell him, "No, it's MY birthday!!" LOL!

Well, today is my daughter's 17th birthday. So, I got up early (for me :) this morning and made her a card. I brought you on the journey :) I'm editing the video now and will post it later :)
