Snow Swirled

This card was made with the stamp set "Snow Swirled" and uses the In-color Pacific Point. I also used Bashful Blue and Whisper White. The Whisper White was cut at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and I centered the Scallop Edge Punch on each side of the four sides to create a scalloped edge in the center of the square. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to align the snowflake in the middle of the square and embossed it with Iridescent Ice EP. I attached to the front of the card with dimensionals.

My Frankie

I've seen several Frankie cards and decided to make one of my own using lots of ideas from others. My Frankie uses the Kiwi Kiss (In-Color) cardstock cut at 3 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". Using the Round Tab Punch, you will need to cut out three (3) using Basic Black cardstock to use for his hair, punch one (1)for his nose using Kiwi Kiss, and punch one (1) for the bolts in his neck using Lovely Lilac (cut it in half and attach with Black eyelets. Use the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to cut out two (2) eyes from Whisper White and (1) from Kiwi Kiss for his eyelids (which you will cut half). Use a dauber and ink it up with Kiwi Kiss to ink up the edges of his nose and eyelids. Use a 3/4" Circle Punch to make two (2) Basic Black circles for his eyes and highlight with a Gel Pen. Use Dimensionals on the back of his eyes. Draw on a scar with a Black Marker.

Happiness Butterfly

I made this card for my friend/co-worker's birthday this week using the Hostess set Happiness Always. I used the new In-Color Pacific Point cardstock as well as using Night of Navy cardstock. I thought the color combination went well together and of course, blue is my favorite color. Anyway, she loved her birthday card and blue is her favorite color too.

Santa's Favorite Christmas Cookies

I've already started thinking about making Christmas cards and I love making the recipe cards. When I saw the 'Deer Friends', Level 2 set I knew I wanted to use the Santa face to make my latest recipe card. I also used the new Bella Rose DSP and the set 'Heard from the Heart' for the "Welcome Christmas into Your Heart" as well as the new scallop edge punch.

Chicken Salad Recipe

The recipe is actually my friend Brenda's chicken salad recipe, but I did this for a swap so I figured if I didn't put my name on the recipe, they wouldn't know who Brenda was. LOL Anyway, I've made the recipe a couple times and it is very delicious if you like chicken salad like me. Here is the recipe if you cannot view it:

Chicken Salad by Nancy Endwright

4 chicken breasts
2 (3 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened)
1 cup seedless grapes
1 c. Miracle Whip (mayo)
1 c. diced celery
¾ c. frozen peas, thawed

Cook chicken breasts. Cool. Remove from bone; shred. Mix cream cheese and mayo until blended. Set aside. Cut seedless grapes in half. Dice celery.
Combine chicken, grapes, celery and unthawed peas in bowl. Add mayo mixture and mix well.
Add more mayo to reach right consistency for chicken salad. Chill. Serve on chilled lettuce leaves.

The stamp set I used is "A Good Egg' which is a favorite set of mine and I'm so happy that is not retiring in August. The cardstock used is from the current In-Colors Wild Wasabi and Blue Bayou. The Designer Series Paper is Porcelain Prints. The ribbon is Blue Bayou double-stitched ribbon. I assume all will retire when the new catalog comes out. The recipe was typed on the computer and printed out on copy paper. I used the Scallop Punch and made "doodles" around the edge with the White Gel Pen and attached the little chicken with dimensionals. I hope you like my recipe card. I hope to start making a lot more of recipe cards using favorite recipes of mine and my friends.

Water Bottle Bib

I've made these water bottle bibs before but with different dimensions and different stamp sets. So the measurements for this one came from Nancy Riley and Anne Marie Peterson. The water bottle bib is measured 2" x 7 3/4" and scored at 2" and 6".

Father's Day Wallet

I made this wallet about a month ago and it was a lot of fun to make. I found the instructions/video on Dannie's Designs: http://danniesdesigns.typepad.com It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks Dannie for a great video.
