A Quick Hostess Gift

A happy surprise that the negative die cut challenge at 

A Passion for Papertrey has been extended for another 

week.  I made these for a quick hostess gift to give on 

Easter.  I CASE'd my own cards here.  This is my second 

entry for the challenge; my first entry is here.

I am also entering these at The 52 Card Pickup.

Making these as a negative die cut is easier than 

tying to glue the letter on straight ;).

I took my son and his friend to the Milwaukee Public Museum 

today to see the "Real Pirates" exhibit. Even though they were

trying to show their "mean pirate faces," this makes me smile.

Supplies ~ All by PTI

Paper:  White & Black, Soft Stone Pattern Pack 

Dies:  Headline Alphabet & Limitless Layers 1 3/4" Circle

Catching Up ~ Summer School Teacher Gifts

Continuing to clean up my memory card.  Here are the cards

I made for the summer school teacher gifts.  I made six different

squares for different occasions and placed them on a piece of

acetate with glue dots.  Included with these were blank embossed

note cards with a place to glue the square.  I bought a large box of the 

already embossed note cards at Michaels using a 40 % off coupon.  

I made four sets of these.  I also had found a book of race cars from

the local library for only fifty cents that they were getting rid of.

I cut out the cars and matted them with black.  The "gift boxes" 

were recycled PTI stamp boxes.  The sentiment is from PTI ~ 

one of the Think Big series.  It was stamped onto a die cut from 

Spellbinders, and then I cut two more layers to mat.

 The race car cards were given to two teachers.  For under 

ten dollars, I made teacher gifts for six teachers ~ not bad ;).

Catching Up ~ Father's Day in the NICU

I am working on cleaning up my memory card.

No challenges ~ just posting cards that I made last year 

for the babies in the NICU to give to their Dads for 

Father's Day.  Often I use a card that I have made and

CASE it, making it easier to mass produce.  I used this card 

to CASE for the Father's Day cards for 2012.  

All of the details for the card are on that post.

    

 

I made these in 2010 using all SU supplies.

I made the pickup trucks cards in 2011 for Father's Day using 

SU Loads of Love.  I found an old automobile supply

catalog at a rummage sale that I used for the background

paper.  The trucks were water colored and then fussy cut.
