Moving & Orders

Good Morning everyone!  It has been a LONG time since I posted anything... but I have a very good reason!  We are moving this week!!!  We were showing our condo for all of August, and I discovered that it's very hard to be creative and keep things tidy at the same time (at least for me!).  But I also had two orders to get done, and Stamp Club in between, so I thought I would just share the new cards I tried out.  I will unashamedly admit that pretty much all my inspiration came from Pinterest - these layouts are not my own.  Anywhoo, on to the cards!  This first card was made at Stamp Club, and therefore everything used is Stampin' Up.

This card is also from Stamp Club.  We tried out those new card layouts.  I think they're neat, but not really my style.

All the cards from here on I made myself. For this card, the paper, flowers, and brads are from a friend, the ink is from my mom, and the branch stamp is Stampin' Up.  I'm not sure where the Thank You stamp is from.

The orange and white card stock in this card is from a friend, as well as the brads.  The grey card stock is from Michael's, and the ink, stamps, patterned paper, punch, and piercer are Stampin' Up.  The twine is from a gift.

The stamp, framelit, paper piercer and patterned paper from this card are Stampin' Up.  The green paper is from a daytimer, and the sparkly brown is from a friend's wedding invitation.  The card stock is from Michael's.

The ribbon and pin in this card are from a friend, the chevron embossing folder, patterned paper, stamps, ink, and brayer used are Stampin' Up.  The grey card stock is from Michael's.

All the paper used in this card is from a friend, and the embossing folders are Stampin' Up.

The purple, white and yellow paper in this card are from a friend, the pinwheel, embossing folder, and edgelit are Stampin' Up.  The brad, stamp, and ink are from my mom, and the brown paper is from our wedding photo display.  The grass paper is from Michael's.

The yellow, orange, white, and green paper here are from a friend, the brads and ink are from my mom, the blueish paper and duck paper are from Michael's, and the stamps, ribbon, and embossing folder are Stampin' Up.  The twine is from my sister.

The grey card stock here is from Michael's, the gems are from some of our wedding ornaments, the cream paper is from my Opa, and everything else is Stampin' Up.

All the paper used in this card is from my ever so generous friend.  The brad, embossing folder, stamp, and punch are Stampin' Up, and the ink is from my mom.

The creamy card stock in this card is from Michael's, and the green and colored paper is from an unused daytimer.  The embossing folder, stamp, and framelit are Stampin' Up, and the ink is from my mom.

I love this card!  And owls in general :) The brown paper used in this card is from our wedding photo display, the purple patterned paper is Stampin' Up, and all other paper is from my friend.  She also supplied the brad.  The punches, ink, stamps, and framelits are Stampin' Up, and the twine is from a gift I received.

This is probably the most painstaking card to make.  So many little circles, and I made the mistake of making three of these at once.. NEVER again.  But it sure is darn cute.  All the paper here is from a friend, the ink is Stampin' Up, and the stamps I believe are from Michael's.

I made a few versions of this card, including one for a baby shower.  So fun :)  The stamps and ribbon are Stampin' Up (which I used sharpie marker on for the chevron pattern).  The ink is from my mom, the blue card stock from Michael's, and the green card stock is from the old daytimer.

All the background paper on this card is from Michael's.  The paper for the presents is Stampin' Up, as well as the punch.  I'm not sure where I got the stamps from, but the ink is from Michael's as well.  I used a dab of glitter glue from a friend, and the ribbon is from my cousin's wedding favors.

And to end things off (if you made it this far, I'm really impressed!), I've posted one of my favorite cards from the card making extravaganza.  All the colored paper here is from a friend, the white is leftover from the missionary cards I made, the ribbon is from my cousin's wedding favors, and the embossing folder, stamps, and punches are Stampin' Up.  The ink is from my mom.  To make the flames, I used the bird wing from the Stampin' Up bird punch, used a sponge dauber to color the flame, and then topped it with some glitter glue from a friend.  Hope you liked all these cards! <3 JEM
