Card Buffet - Little Buddy Birthday

More Card buffet samples - are you card crazy yet?

I found this card idea from Splitcoast Stampers so thank you Debra Currier the inspiration.

If you have a little girl or boy cutie in your life this one would be perfect.  Even the cute dino or armadillo in this set are sweet.

Last card to share is tomorrow and I'm excited about having this chance to make some cards myself and create with friends.


At this card buffet $1 from every card created will be donated to help purchase an FES bike for my brother in law.

Card Buffet - Four You + Kinda Eclectic

This one is my favourite!!  I hope someone else likes it at the card buffet on the weekend!  The colours are subtle, but the Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana pop against the Sahara Sand and I especially love the Something Borrowed new Designer Series paper in the Occasions Catalogue.

TAG IT Swap #2

It's Friday already!  Holy smokes this week went quickly!  Maybe I wont' be saying that so much when the kids are home all day everyday :)  Honestly though I quite like it when they are home so I can't wait!

Here is my second swap for the Tag it set.  I am loving the new Deco Labels framelits.  They size and shape is perfect for many focal images and sentiments.

 

Yup, I used markers to colour up this stamp.  A little time consuming but I only had to do 12.

Then when you flip this card open I have a spot where you can write an inside message.  Plus I added those new candy dots - LOVE THEM TO PIECES!!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend and that it is sunny for a bit this weekend!

Cheers, 
K
 

Got cards?

Sorry for the quick post but I had an extremely busy but productive day making up the "leftover" card kits from my weekend buffet.

In half a day I made 30 cards. I'm pooped!  Off to bed and tomorrow I'll catch up on the other "work stuff" on my list.

 Any guesses on how many card were made at my house this weekend??   Guesses anyone??  Here's a hint - there were 26 people over two days. Closest guess without going over wins a sampling of cards :)  Leave me a comment with your guess.

Cheers, 
K

Card Buffet part 3

More cards to share! 

 I love this card map.  Want to know the secret reason?  It's easy to cut and prep for.  I know that's the cheater reason.  The Summer Starfruit piece is 2 3/4 x 4 and you can get 8 pieces of card stock from one piece of paper :)  Then the Whisper White piece is 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 - 8 pieces as well.  My kinda card - not many scraps left over.  You can add many different things to embellish the corner such as buttons, brads, ribbons, sentiments or punched pieces.  
 

 I hope to make a few of these at the buffet because I often get requests for graduation cards.  Now I can make some in advance and have them on hand.    Don't need a graduation card, change the sentiment to Congrats, Bon voyage or Happy Birthday.  You can' t see in the photo but for the colourful stars card I actually punched out the black cardstock and then put different colours of paper behind the star holes.

 

 Oh it's soo hard to not have at least one card with a flower on it!  Two more of my favourite stamp sets - French Foilage - wood 120845 or clear 121166 and Field Flowers wood 122760 or clear 122762.  Great for a wedding, anniversary or birthday card.  This one also works for a thinking of you card too.

Which one is your favourite?  Leave me a comment as to which one is your favourite.

Check back tomorrow to see the projects for the Feb WOW class.  Registration starts tomorrow.

Cheers,
