CELEBRATE!

Hi there!

Pretty Phrases stamp set from Paper Smooches

I'm popping in super quick to just say hi and show some quick cards I made for an ongoing fundraiser I've been doing.

It's the end of the school year and graduation time is upon us here at the Stollfus household. We have a niece graduating in June and I've been coming up with ideas for her present, but the last resort is always a gift card, right?

I found two crafty cute templates from crafty bloggers like ourselves. One is from Carolina who always seems to have the best ideas. I love stopping in to her blog from time to time. Here is her creative take on a gift card holder and here is what I made with it.



The next one took me a bit to wrap my head around, it was a bit late in the night when I started the process, but I did get it. An AHA moment. ;)  It comes from Paper Craft Connections originally, but I found it on Cathy's blog who links you to PCC. Here is her post for the Pop-up gift card holder. Here's my duo take.


Stampin' Up All Year Cheer 1 stamp set


The rest are an attempt to finish off the rest of the 12 x 12 scrapbook paper. Lots of easy fun cards can be made Clean and Simple!

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...

Mark your calendar to join the Stampendous Design Team next Saturday, for a fun blog hop, complete with prizes you don't want to miss.  We'll be showcasing all sorts of products just released at Winter CHA! Welcome Second Annual Scrappy Bowl Party! Thanks so much for popping in to see my Scrappy project using some new Essentials by Stampendous!
