Christmas Order

Good evening everyone!  These cards were for an order I received.  I threw the last one in as a thank-you :)  This card has some fuzzy red velvet paper I purchased at Michael's (well as the white card stock that serves as the body of this card).  All other paper was scrap.  The stamps, punches, and ink are Stampin' Up, and the embossing powder is from a friend.

This is one of the cards we made at Stamp Club - therefore, everything you see is from Stampin' Up.  This card partly taught us about embossing paper.

I love this card!  All paper is from Michael's.  The stamps, ink, punches, brad, and pearls are from Stampin' Up.

The order requested a card with an owl, so here it is!  All paper here is from Michael's, and the stamps, punches, and ink are from Stampin' Up.  The ribbon is from my mom, and the glitter glue is from a friend.

This card uses some pre-embossed paper from Michael's that I think is so pretty!  The ink, stamps, and punch are from Stampin' Up, and the ribbon is from a friend.

This is another card we made at Stamp Club.  The snowflakes use white ink and embossing powder to make them really pop.

And this little card was made when I picked up one of my Stamp Club orders.  I just thought it was really cute!  Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!  <3 JEM

November Birthdays

Hello everyone!  These are some cards I sent to family in November.  The color family for all of them is pretty much the same.  All of the main body cardstock is from our wedding photo display.  This card was for one of my hubby's grandmothers.  The plaid ribbon and translucent paper is from a friend, and the white and darker blue paper is from Michael's.  The pearls and punches are from Stampin' Up and the stamps and ink are mine.

This card was for hubby's other grandmother.  The leopard print paper is from a bag I received, and the white and tan paper is from Michael's.  The pearls and punches are from Stampin' Up, and the stamps and ink are mine.

This card was for hubby's grandfather.  The circle paper is from an Iris bag when I purchased my new sunglasses!  The tan paper is from Michael's, the little brads are from a friend, the large brad, punch and stamps are from Stampin' Up, and the ink is mine.

This last card was for my Aunt's birthday.  I used more of the circle paper from the Iris bag, and the circle punch and glitter is from a friend.  The border punch and stamps are from Stampin' Up, and the ink is mine.  Which one is your favorite?  <3 JEM

Raffle Pt. 2

Wow - I really meant to post these much earlier, but I got a terrible flu.  I'm just starting to feel better today.  I'm very thankful for our wonderful couch that I've been sleeping on for the past week (horrible coughing allll night!).  Hopefully I might be able to go to work for a few hours tomorrow.  We shall see!  Anyway, here are the other cards that I had made for the Ladies' Brunch raffle at church.  Pretty much all paper is from Michael's and all other embellishments from Stampin' Up unless otherwise posted.

The ribbon used here is from my mom! The background stamp used here is also embossed with clear powder for texture.

The translucent paper and glitter paint is from a friend!

The ribbon punch is from Michael's and the ribbon from my mom!  Which one is your favorite?  <3 JEM

Raffle Pt. 1

Good evening, my friends!  I am home sick missing out on what I'm sure is a fantastic potluck - so what better way to spend my evening writing a post in between getting not so pleasant things done around the house?  So this batch of cards is for an event happening at our church for the ladies next Saturday morning.  My MIL asked if I would be interested in making a couple sets of cards as a door prize and I gladly obliged (obviously sticking in my business card in the package as well!).  I decided to keep them all Christmas themed and made good use of the techniques I've been learning at Stamp Club.  This card uses the triple time stamping technique I learned at last month's class.  The paper is from Michael's, and the stamps, ink, and pearls are Stampin' Up.

I love the technique of stamping off the page (so simple really, but I'd never thought of it before!).  All paper here is from Michael's, and the ribbon, ink, stamps, pearls, and punch are Stampin' Up.

I discovered how to turn the owl punch into a penguin punch via Pinterest and love the result!  All paper except the translucent stuff is from Michael's, the translucent from a friend, and the punches, stamps, ink, pearls, and brad from Stampin' Up.

This is a simpler card that uses some lovely metallic purple card stock.  All paper is from Michael's, the punches, ink and stamps are from Stampin' Up, and the ribbon is from my mom.

I love the texture of this paper and decided to keep everything else simple so the focus would be on it.  I used a sponge dauber to age the edges.   All paper is from Michael's, and the stamps, ink, pearls, and brad are Stampin' Up.

This antique looking Dasher is placed on a red velvet background for a cozy feel.  All card stock is from Michael's, and the ribbon is from a friend.  I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday evening and a great work week!  I'll reveal the second batch of cards soon! <3 JEM

Anniversary Card

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I'm heading off to Stamp Club in a bit (eeee!), but I thought I'd do a quick post for you.  This card was for my Aunt & Uncle's anniversary.  The blue card stock is from our wedding photo display, and the rest is from Michael's.  The punches and pearls are from Stampin' Up, the ink is from my Mom (also Stampin' Up), and the stamps are from Scrapbooker's Paradise - which I've heard has closed?  Sad!  I never enjoyed going there much, though.  The customer service wasn't very good - I always felt like I was an intruder...  Anyway...  Hope you all have a wonderful evening!  I know I will :D  <3 JEM

Pastor Appreciation Month

Last month, I was approached by a friend from church asking me if I could make some cards for our Pastors for Pastor Appreciation Month. I was delighted to!  I tried to keep them as manly as possible ;)  The brown and beige cardstock from this card is from Michael's, the corn paper, stamp and ink are from Stampin' Up, and the ribbon is from a friend.

The pearls on this card are from Stampin' Up.  The rest is the same as the first card.

The flower brads on this card are from a friend, and the rest is the same as the first card.

The ribbon and stamps on this card are from a friend, and the ink, "for you" stamp and cross stitch paper is from Stampin' Up.  The cream paper is from Michael's.  Which one is your favorite?  <3 JEM
