BEAT TTUN!!!!

If you know anything about me...you know

I love THE Ohio State Buckeyes.

College football is my favorite

thing to watch on Saturdays.

I also enjoy making some OSU note cards.

I was lucky enough to purchase the stamp and die cuts

for them...before there were licensing issues.

Take a look at some sets I have put

together for hostess football party gifts...

or whatever screams scarlet and gray!

Lately I have enjoyed using black card bases

and Plaids for these fun cards.

I try to make various designs.

The hardest or most tedious part of making these...

cutting out 5 Buckeye leaves, 1 at a time.

Making sets with both Landscape and Portrait

designs is a good idea.

I like these note cards because even with putting

the OSU sentiments inside, one can use

them for ANY occassion!

Stamping the envelopes make the sets look great.

I haven't even touched the ribbons on any of my cards.

So that means...make more cards!

And because on November 26th, tomorrow,

 THE biggest college rivalry football game happens 

I have to say....very LOUDLY!!!!!

GO BUCKS! Beat Xichigan!

SUCH A CARD!

I finally got back to some card making. 

I have some Quilty looking designer paper 

This simple card came out quite nice!

I sometimes mass produce card making pieces and parts.

Like these Christmas boughs with pine cones. 

I gather designer papers, ribbons,

 that can go together with them 

I just love how pretty these boughs are with the metallic paper

For this card I left the bough designs in one larger piece. 

Above the boughs were cut into 3 sections 

I sometimes just make bases with colors I like.

Theses may end up with bee designs…May-bee!

and oh yes…black and gray!

Could be Halloween, Masculine birthday…

I do have A wonderful, Ohio State die cut and stamp set.

Add some plaids in and I am happy, happy, happy! 

and ta-da…Ohio State cards!

Stay tuned as I have been very busy and more cards are in the works. 

DRAGONFLY GARDEN CARDS

I finally made some more cards!!!

I really was in a hole trying to figure out how to get back to this craft.

My friend Vikki, also a card maker, loaned me her set of

Dragonfly Garden stamps and die-cuts 

And I was off and stamping!

She also gave me the designer papers that went with this set!

The result, some similar cards with different colors,

sentiments, embellishments.

I love this color! 

I think this is kinda masculine. 

And let’s not forget to stamp the envelopes to coordinate

So this card was a little different design!

I punched out a dragonfly for it. 

This one focused on the designer paper. 

I punched out a lot of dragonflies for future cards

And returned the set to Vikki in a timely manner. 

I will be stamping with Vikki in October and can’t wait to

See what new goodies she will have on hand.

STAMP ON!
