The Little Things

I've been working on projects here and there, but haven't had the time to actually get the photos, then get them edited or uploaded here. In the last few weeks, I've made cards, bookmarks, boxes and altered clipboards. I joined a local card swap group of fantastic ladies. This was the card I made for my first swap. (Christmas cards are next!) I love seeing the different styles and having cards on hand when I need them.

This card was pretty simple...punched edge, pierced corner, scored lines...the most time consuming part was cutting out the 10 flower heads.

The sentiment is from a retired SU! set. It says:

It's the little things that make life Big.

Isn't that the truth?

If you have any questions about this project or anything else you find on my blog, send me an email!

I see that {again} that it's been awhile since I've posted any projects...well...I did have an excuse, right? Moving to a new continent, buying my first home, sending the oldest off to college...

Well, the family is getting settled in and life is moving on! Got a few projects to share later this week. The Studio (love the way that sounds!) is coming together nicely, too!

I miss all of you crafty people! I have a lot of blurfing to do and can't wait to catch up with you on your blog!

big hugs,

Just a little tag

Wow! It's been over a month since I've posted something new here...and I'm still waiting for my supplies. I did keep a few things back when the majority of my stuff was packed up. But since I wasn't sure how much our luggage already weighed, I ended up mailing a little, but leaving most of those crafting supplies to be packed up with my other baggage. Didn't want to pay heavy luggage charges at the airport - that's stampin' money! lol

I've been impatiently waiting for our deliveries - we're expecting 3 this month- and this coming week there are supposed to be two!

While we are waiting, I've got a little something to share - a few small tags that I made as part of a thank you to my Stamp Club group before I left Europe. (Hey, Girls!)


I loved making these - instant gratification! Usually, I forget to make myself one of anything I make, but I liked these so much that I made several extra! These were so easy to do...especially with the Big Shot. I had an older Sizzix tag die and used that to cut out tags out of the Kraft Cardstock. This is one of those projects that can be tailored to fit your needs...larger or smaller, any occasion or stamp set.

I can't wait for my crafting supplies to arrive, so I can get back to making stuff! Keep your fingers crossed for on time deliveries!

Stampin' hugs,

Angi

Happy Birthday, Michelle!

Happy Birthday, Michelle! In the midst of my move, I forgot to mail your card on time, so I decided to share it here! I hope that your day is full of fun and friends - and great food! Sending you BIG HUGS on your special day!

This summer has been one of those rare times when we are so busy that we need more hours in the day! My family and I are in the middle of a move (only a couple more days in the house!)and have lots to prepare for - a new house, new schools (the oldest going to college this year), new job, etc...but I didn't forget to keep some of my stampin' supplies so I can stamp on the go!

Since my desktop computer is on it's way to our new location, I'm working on my laptop - everything takes a LOT little longer on here, so forgive me if the photos aren't edited just so. For the next couple of weeks I will be on the road, but will try to post a few projects.

On to the card...

This card was fun to put together! I stamped, cut and pieced together all the elements - enough to make several cards - and then bagged them, so I could make the cards when I had more time. Loved the button elements - designer paper layered with a random button and tied together with crochet thread. (See my inspiration HERE.)

While waiting for the movers to come I stamped the side of the card with the French Script background stamp (inked up with Versamark) and then adhered all the elements to the card front using SNAIL and Tombow Mono (the button element).

(Will try to update soon with supplie list! Email me, if you can't wait!)

Happy Summer Stamping!
