Graphic 45: December

Here we are at the end of the road with December. I can't say that I liked the embellishment for this month, but I used it anyway.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes from Stampin Up.  The paper is A Place in Time from Graphic 45.  Have a wonderful day - Heidi.

Graphic 45: November

All of this Graphic 45 is starting to wear on me!  Two more, I promise!  I used the whole pad and just about all of them embellishments.  Here is the November card.

Kind of an interesting old tyme feel to it.  The sentiment is from banner greeting from Stampin' Up. Hope you enjoy - Heidi.

Graphic 45: October

Another Happy Morning to you!  Here is my card for October featuring the papers from the A Place in Time line from Graphic 45.  I didn't have any matching embellishments so I just embossed Happy Halloween on the front.

I think this my favorite of them all.  I wish I had a matching embellishment, but I don't think it turned out too bad.  Have a fantabulous day! - Heidi

Graphic 45: September

Good morning to you!  Here is my September card using paper from the A Place in Time by Graphic 45.  I didn't know what sentiment to use so I just left it blank.

It could be a birthday or happy back-to-school card if you wanted, I guess.  Have a wonderful day - Heidi.

Here is my card for the August Graphic 45 papers called A Place in Time.

Have a great night - Heidi

Whew, I am a little late posting this today.  Here is my card for June using Graphic 45 papers called A Place in Time.

Graphic 45 - March

I worked last night and I work tonight.  Right now I am functioning on 3 hours of sleep and I have a bunch of errands to do.  Oh well, I'll catch up on my sleep tomorrow.  For those of you that are just joining me I found this pad of Graphic 45 paper called A Place in Time.  There was a sheet for each month.  Today I am sharing my March card.

The base is Lavender Lace and the ribbon Perfect Plum.  The embellishment goes with the paper pack.  I decided not to put a sentiment on this card.  I think it is just fine as a blank card.

Have a great day - Heidi.

Graphic 45 - February

My card for today features the Graphic 45 paper A Place in Time.  This is for the month of February.  The stamps I used were from the Banner Banter set from Stampin' Up.  The cardstock and ink colors are Bravo Burgundy and Pretty in Pink.

A little valentine card.  I hope you enjoy! - Heidi

Graphic 45 - January

Wow, have I really been gone that long?  It's not that I haven't been crafting, I guess, I just haven't been sharing.  I have a LOT of cards saved up and I am going to try and post everyday.

I found a 6 X 6 pad of Graphic 45 papers and matching embellishments on a trip to Goodwill. Heck, for 99 cents how could I pass it up?  I decided to make 12 cards - one for each month as the paper has the months on it.  Today I will share January.

This card measures 6 1/4" X 4 1/2".  That is NOT a normal size card, but with my envelope punch board I was able to make matching envelopes.  I love my envelope punch board (although the punch part gets stuck) as I can make any sized envelope I want.  The extra strip of paper from the front 6 X 6 size is inside along with a place to write a note.

The card bases is Not Quite Navy and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Hope you have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow. - Heidi

Animals and Poppies

I made the above card for my friend Karen as she likes Beatrix Potter.  I am not sure the image is supposed to be Peter Rabbit, but it sure looks like it.

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla.

Ink: Soft Suede.
Stamps: Perfect Punches.

Paper: from Graphic 45 - Once Upon a Springtime.

Tools: large oval punch & Spellbinder die Lacey Ovals.

Other: Chantilly ribbon from SU.

---------------------------------

I made the below card for my friends that put their cat down last week.

Cardstock: Bordering Blue, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla.

Ink: Bordering Blue, Soft Suede.

Stamps: C is for Cat, D is for Dog, cat from Jo-Ann's, inside sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

Tools: blender pen, Lacey Ovals from Spellbinders.

When I got this background stamp from Stampin' Up I cut it apart so I could use clumps of poppies instead of the entire stamp.  I like it better that way.

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Black, White.

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Basic Black.

Stamps: Perfect Punches, Pleasant Poppies.

Tools: blender pen, scalloped oval punch, smallest oval punch, Argyle embossing folder.

NOTE: this is an A6 card.

Goodnight - Heidi

Graphic 45 frame card

The above card is made from Graphic 45 paper called Once Upon a Springtime.  They have these sheets with frames on them.  I punched the window out and used some Tim Holtz crackle glaze to give it a cracked effect.  Then I rubbed a little distress ink on it so the cracks would show up better.  Sorry, the picture is very poor.  The flowers were part of the frame, but I added a little to them using the trio flower punch from Stampin' Up, adhesive pearls and a Soft Suede marker.  I believe that punch is retired.  The close up of my flower embellishments is below.

I am hooked on tea cups, it would appear.  Again I used the tea cup image from Stampin' Up's Tea Shoppe stamp set and enlarged it 150%.  Then I cut it out of the Paisley Petals DSP.  I made my own tea bags using white paper and vellum and the tags punches from Stampin' Up.  The tea bag tags have a message stamped on them using Fabulous Phrases and the sentiment is from All Holidays.

Another Twilight

Here is card # 2 using the Twilight "stickers" that I purchased from Target on clearance.  They were 50 cents for four of them.  I have made two cards so far which means that I have two more to make!  The card stock and stamps are from Stampin' Up.  Calypso Coral and the Calendar Alphabet set.  The dies are Mix'd Media and Floral Ovals from Spellbinders.  The background paper is the other side of a piece of Graphic 45 paper from the Once Upon a Springtime stack. - Heidi

Butterflies for Letty

This is the card I made for my very best friend's birthday. The stamp is from Stampin' Up and the set is called Bring on the Cake. The card uses some awesome Graphic 45 paper, a recycled piece of cardboard from a McDonald's toy. It also uses the new Striped Butterfly 2-in-1 Edger Punch & the Butterfly Layering punch both from EK Success. Why yes, I am a tool freak! Letty should get this card tomorrow in the mail so hopefully she doesn't this posting before then. - Heidi
