Beachy Birthday

I stole this idea from my friend Deena, she made a very similar card using different colors and different stamp sets. My rendition uses Stampin' Up! set "Life's a Breeze" and the greeting is from "And Many Mower". It's a pretty simple card, but it always amazes me how many different ways there are to 'embellish' a card without using any extras- tearing the edge of the card stock can really give a cool effect to a card, especially if you want to showcase sand and water at the beach!

Corner Bookmark

This month's club class was all about bookmarks. The corner bookmark style was one of our favorites!

Cut your heavy-duty Stampin'Up! cardstock into a 4"by4" square (And yes, I have a Disney character ruler, I've probably owned it since I wanted to marry Mickey and change my name to Minnie.)

Mark 2" on 3 sides of the cardstock and score

Fold the corners in

Tape

Cut another piece of cardstock 4"by4" and cut on the diagonal lines.

Glue one of the triangles to your original piece to hide the taped portion.

Cut a piece of Stampin'Up! designer paper into a 3 3/4" square, and once again, cut the square on the diagonals to make 4 triangles.

Adhere your designer paper to the cardstock, and continue to embellish your one-of-a-kind corner bookmark with stamps, embossing, punches, etc.

More note cards

That same friend liked my first set of cards, and decided to have me make some for her father. I used the All in the Family set to make a stick figured replica of Glenn Smith.

Monogram Stationary

I made this set of stationary for a friend to give as a gift to her sister. I think they turned out really cute. I used the chocolate chip cardstock on all of them, and used Stampin Up!'s in colors as the background color.
