A Few Card Ideas!

Happy Weekend to You!

Have you heard of Fiskars before? They're a great company with lots to offer including, punches, stamping accessories, stamps, and trimmers and cutting tools!

Here is a card Jennifer McGuire made using a Fiskars punch!
On the sweet card above Jennifer, used the Cloud Punch by Fiskars. We always love seeing what you make!!! : )

This cute card below is by Lisa Storms! She used the a punch similar to the Corner Deco Scallop by EK Success or you could use the Extra Jumbo Scalloped Square punch by Marvy and cut each diagonally in half!

Thanks for the cute inspiration, ladies!!

    Working on Christmas cards this weekend! I start early so it won't be a hassle near Christmas. Sometimes, it's hard to come up with ideas when the weather is so hot! I enjoy every minute though!

    This weekend...well I started by walking in the local ALS walk, then I am off to our Church Summerfest to sell Lobster dinners while my DH and DD run a 5K, and my other 2 DDs go to a b-day party. Then Sunday is our family picnic. Another full weekend! (just wish there was some crafttime for mom in there)

    I just ran a bunch of silver flashing through my Big Shot cutting it into butterflies, gears, and Top Note shapes. Then I ran it through again and used CB embossing folders on it. It turned out great. Now I have to do something with them and I'm hoping to come up with the right ideas so I have some stunning cards out of it.

    REally great cards girls, wonderful work. And yes I knowww about Fiskars and have several of their great punches and scissors and different other items too.
    I´ve had a couple of my 7 granddaughters here the last 5 days, and the last just left an hour ago, so now I have to try and make my house look normal again after they´ve been crafting here for several days, so it´s really needed, believe me ha ha ha. But then next week I really hope, it´ll be craft time for me, so I could sure use these, after the girls has been emptying almost everything out here for the summerholiday he he. he.

    I am making a couple of small watering cans out of decorative paper. I found the template online and am really having fun making and decorating them. I'm also making flowers out of tissue paper using small Spellbinders flower dies. Bright pink tissue paper - so much fun!. :)

    Adorable cards! I was not sure who to contact, but I won one of your gift certificate from a challenge I won on Paper Play. I have contacted them a number of times and have not heard anything. I love your store and was hoping to still be able to receive my certificate.
    Thank You. Stacey

    Have I heard of Fiskars before? :D You must be joking. It's a Finnish company, so it's well-known here in Finland. There are Fiskars scirrors and knives in every home! People are suprised to know, that Fiskars makes crafting tools too.

    This weekend I have picked blueberrys and raspberrys and the pie is almost ready :) Just a few moments in the owen...
