Paper Players 156: Birthday Sketch

Hey hey!  This card is inspired by sketch 156 at The Paper Players.  It's the first card I've made for this big order I have.  I thought I would keep it simple.  The green card stock is from a friend, and the yellow is from Michael's.  The white is from the missionary cards I made back in January.  I fussy cut the tree, leaves, and bird out.  All the stamps and ink are from Stampin' Up, and the brads are from my mom (also Stampin' Up).  Hope you like! <3 JEM

The Shabby Tea Room #176 - Fresh Summer Breeze Wedding

Hey!  Here's something a bit different from me (well, at least I think so - I don't do much with pink).  It's a wedding card for my friends who are getting married in a couple of weeks, and I used the challenge from The Shabby Tea Room.  All the card stock used and the brads are from a friend, the ink is from my mom, and the embossing folder, framelit, lace, flowers, stamp, and punch are Stampin' Up.  Hope you like! <3 JEM

Mojo Monday 303 - Wedding Celebration

Hey everyone!  Hope you're having a great weekend!  I had a wonderful nap this afternoon, and now I'm just feeling awesome.  When my last order picked up her cards, she asked if I could make one more card for a wedding she was attending.  Something "hip"... Okie dokie!  I think this card is pretty cool, anyway.  The layout is courtesy of Mojo Monday 303.  All the card stock in this card is Stampin' Up (except for the white, which is still from those missionary cards I made back in January), the translucent green ribbon and stamp are Stampin' Up, the black ribbon is from my cousin's wedding favors, and the satin green is from a birthday gift I received 3 years back.  All the best to the newlyweds! <3 JEM

Order Samples

Good evening!  I just finished some cards for an order this evening, and thought I would share my two favorites with you.  The white card stock used in this card is from a friend, the brown is from our wedding photo display, and everything else is Stampin' Up.

This card is all Stampin' Up with the exception of the white flowers, which are from a friend, and the green brads are from my mom (but they are Stampin' Up too!).  I had made another card like this before, but in purple and with a different stamp set.  It's fun to take favorite layouts and try them in a different way!  Hope you like!  I have to go do some baking :) <3 JEM

Paper Players #155 - Happy Big Day!

Hello!  This is my card for The Paper Players Sketch #155.  This is actually a mini card for a project I'm working on.  The lady at Bernard Callebaut said she would be interested in buying some cards to sell with her chocolates, and I'm slowly getting up the nerve to make some.  That would be so awesome!  Anyway, pretty much everything about this card is Stampin' Up, with the exception of the ribbon (from my cousin's wedding favors), and the white card stock (from the missionary cards I made back in January).  Hope you like!  I'm off to fill a couple more orders - yay! <3 JEM

Stampin' for the Weekend: Sparkle and Bling

Hey!  This is my card for Stampin' for the Weekend's Sparkle and Bling Challenge.  I made this card for my cousin's birthday.  I used shimmer to sparkle up the celebrate sentiment (both Stampin' Up), there is sparkle on the background card stock (which is from Michael's - my hubby's anniversary present to me!), the sparkly ribbon from my mom, and the pearls (Stampin' Up).  The white card stock is from a friend, and the beige is from Michael's.  The ink and framelit are Stampin' Up.  Hope you like! <3 JEM

The Pink Elephant 208 - Butterfly Birthday

Hey all!  This is my submission for The Pink Elephant 208.  The challenge was to create a feminine birthday card.  I made this card for my hubby's cousin's daughter.  I originally intended to have the purple card stock as the card, with the butterfly across both front and back, but I made a mistake and did it upside down.  I think I managed to salvage it fairly well though!  The white card stock and silver flowers are from a friend, the grey card stock is from Michael's, and everything else Wisteria Wonder is of course Stampin' Up.  <3 JEM

Mojo Monday 302 - Masculine Card #2

This is this year's birthday card for my hubby.  I made it for Mojo Monday 302.  The brown card stock is from our wedding photo display, the blue is either from a friend or Michael's (I can't remember), but the ribbon is definitely from a friend, and the patterned paper, brad, and stamps are Stampin' Up.  Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!  <3 JEM

Mojo Monday 302 - Masculine Card #1

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today is a special day because not only is it my husband's birthday, but it's also his father's birthday!  We had a nice day going to the Farmer's Market, a movie, and dinner.  This card was for his dad (I'll have my hubby's card in the next post).  I made it for Mojo Monday 302.  I love the brightness of this card - so fun and summery!  The solid blue card stock is from our wedding photo display, the yellow from a friend, the black ribbon from my cousin's wedding favors, and the patterned paper and stamp are from Stampin' Up.  He really liked his card, and said that every time he gets a card from me he can't wait to see what I've made.  Isn't that sweet?  Make sure to check out my next post for my hubby's card!  <3 JEM

July Stampin' Fun!

Hey everyone!  I haven't posted in a while because I was away on holiday..  Backpacking on the West Coast.  Sooo much fun!  I love being outdoors.  When we got home, I spent my first night at a Stampin' Up party, and this is the card we made.  I really love the new ruffled ribbon and the chalk stamp look.  Hope you enjoy!  <3 JEM

Mojo Monday #300

Good evening!  This is a card I made for the Mojo Monday #300 Celebration!  I wasn't feeling very creative tonight so it was a bit of work, but I think I like the end result.  I had to make sure this card got in the mail before we head off backpacking so it wouldn't be late for the intended's birthday!  The white paper is from the missionary cards I made, the yellow and solid green from a friend, and the ink, button, ribbon, patterned paper, green cardstock, stamps, and framelits are from Stampin' Up.  Hope you enjoy, and congrats to Mojo Monday!  I'm going to bed... <3 JEM

Basketweave Throw

Hey!  I have something a little different for you today...  I finished a throw I've been working on for our couch!  It is a pretty simple basketweave stitch, and it looks so nice in our living room.  Now I don't have to get my blanket from the bedroom every time I get cold!

A bit of a close up!  Hope you like! <3 JEM

Seize the Birthday #20

Hello!  Hope you are surviving the summer heat!  This is my contribution for Seize the Birthday #20.  I gave it to my uncle for his birthday.  The brad, ribbon, stamp, framelits, ink, punch, and blue card stock are from Stampin' Up, the silver from Michael's, and the white is leftover from the missionary cards I made back in January.  <3 JEM
