Another CASED card!

I seem to have lost my mojo lately and I've been trying to find it.  In the meantime, I've been "CASEing" some cards in hopes to get it back.  Now, when I case a card, I still usually find ways to change it up to make it my own so it's normally not a straight copy of the original.

The original card was created by Beatriz Redd and normally I would link up to her blog here with the original card but I don't know her blog and I have tried finding it.

So, I just wanted to share with you today my version.  Hope you like it!

Supplies Used For This Card:

Paper:  Whisper White Cardstock, Real Red Cardstock, Pretty In Pink Cardstock

Ink:  VersaMark, Real Red Classic Ink

Accessories:  Big Shot Machine, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Scallop Oval Extra-Large Punch, 1 3/4" x 7/8" Oval Large Punch, Scallop Edge Border Punch, 1/8" Pretty In Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Basic Rhinestones, Snail Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals

Stamp Sets: Valentine Defined

That's all for today!  I do hope to get that mojo back and start creating more projects to share with you.  Thanks for passing by...

My Stamp Club Projects

Yesterday, I had my first Stamp Club meeting for the year.  We took a break in December so we just met up again yesterday.  I soo missed my Club ladies.  It's always fun crafting with them. 

Here are the 2 projects that we made.

  

I got the inspiration for the milk carton dies from the swap card that I got from Heather Dean.  For the card, I got the inspiration from Becky Roberts.  I just changed it up a bit.

Sale-a-bration started today so if you would like to place an order or host a workshop, please let me know so we can schedule it.

Thanks for stopping by today...

UStamp Card Swap

I finally decided to join my very first swap and I must say the experience was awesome!  UStamp had a Swap Around The World just recently for the Year End Blow Out Event.  This swap was between the designers and I was paired up with Heather Dean.  We were supposed to make 3 of the same cards, 1 to send to our partner designer and 2 to be sent to Dawn.   The 2 that were sent to Dawn was to be sent to one member of the UStamp as a grand prize and one will be for one designer who wins.  So the winner was to receive ALL of the great creations of the designers.  SUPER COOL right?   Well, what's even cooler is that I actually won the designer prize!  I am totally excited to receive my package now.

Today, I wanted to show you the card that Heather Dean sent me.  I really really love this card.  It was so pretty and the color combo was amazing. 

 

 

 This is the inside of the card.

If you want to see the card that I sent Heather, please click here.

I am still waiting for my package from Dawn but when I receive it, I will take pictures of all the beautiful cards made by the Designers of UStamp and post it here.  I have also decided that the card I made that I will get back, I will offer as a blog candy here along with other goodies.  So watch out for that!

Again, thanks for passing by.

UStamp: Year End Blow Out - My Second Project Is Up!

Yesterday, my second project with UStamp:  Year End Blow Out went live!  It is called Baby Blossoms Build-A-Bear Boutique.  This project was made with lots of love, patience and time.  Again, this project uses a full 12 x12 sheet of paper with nothing left over as this was the theme for this round.

If you would like full detailed instructions on how to make this project along with 40+ other amazing projects, please visit the UStamp Site by clicking here.  It will take you to the site where you could register for this event.

I'm Flattered!!!

A couple of days ago, I woke up to a really nice e-mail from my friend and fellow UStamp Designer Jamie Adcock awarding me with the Stylish Blogger Award.  I haven't been such a good blogger but I'm glad that I have inspired others with my creations even though I don't post as often as I would like.  Jamie, thanks so much for this.  You certainly made my day!

 

There are a couple of things I need to do for accepting this award.  First, I need to tell you 8 things about myself that you may not know. So, here goes:

1.)  I'm a perfectionist when I'm crafting that it takes me forever even for just one card.  I try not to be so hard on myself but I just can't help it.

2.)  I can't create anything without my trusty ruler (it needs to be clear so I can see better!).

3.)  I'm a big procrastinator.  I do everything so much better under pressure then I regret that I took my sweet time and wish that I had more time!

4.)  I can speak English, Tagalog and Japanese and understand a little bit of Spanish.

5.)  I still love love love Hello Kitty!  Living in Japan makes it easier for me to get stuff that I love.

6.)  I can't swim, drive a stick shift car or draw a decent picture to save my life!!!

7.)  I don't like to eat anything raw!  Not even vegetables, thus, I don't like eating salads.

8.)  I love anything with butterflies and hearts!

Now I have to pass this award onto 8 other "Stylish Bloggers".  There are a lot that had inspired me over the past few months so it will be hard to narrow it down but here are my choices:

Mary Fish 

Leah Killian

Chiaki Haverstick 

Jessica Luther 

Rosemarie Diehl

Nancy Horn

Bronwyn Eastley

Kerry Bunting

Whew!  That was a tough one.  There are a lot of blogs that I visit daily for inspirations but these are just a few that I have loved browsing lately.  If you have a few minutes, please visit them to see how wonderful their creations are and be inspired just like me!
