I've been wanting to make an easel card for sometime and I finaly got around to it. Of course, I didn't want to make a normal rectangle shaped card. That would be too easy. But I will admit easel cards are not difficult at all, no matter what shape you make them.<br />
Here is the card closed. I decided go with a heart shape for Valentines day.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNNHzfTiiL6T8mCtQJ-VVLc-r5x7yrkPz3_l_XEsjcQUeeEdUcbmYGh2cHVNbyN25C36AS41R940UteYYhr9NFNN1QoRXWRgBAiiSaRjIK3xuelD7NKfhZy15yvIbT6iEnRhwwlrmtH0/s1600/100_2390.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNNHzfTiiL6T8mCtQJ-VVLc-r5x7yrkPz3_l_XEsjcQUeeEdUcbmYGh2cHVNbyN25C36AS41R940UteYYhr9NFNN1QoRXWRgBAiiSaRjIK3xuelD7NKfhZy15yvIbT6iEnRhwwlrmtH0/s320/100_2390.JPG" /></a><br />

In this picture you can see the texture of the card a little better.</div>

Like I said it was very easy to make. You can find directions for making an easel card <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/easelcard/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
I will say that if I was making this one again, I would do one thing different. I wouldn't add texture to the inside white heart shape so that I could write on it. I must admit, I do love the texture though.<br />
The stamp set I used is called You Are Loved and can be found <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=123779" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Below are a couple of projects that my monthly class will be making next week. The card is similar to one I <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/246994360783955016/" target="_blank">saw on Pinterest</a>. I love how bright and cheerful they are. I used scraps from the Brights Designer Series Paper collection. I love bright cheery colors.<br />

Can I just say that I loooooove my framed art which is shown below. It was so much fun to make!! The inspiration for this piece came from a fellow demonstrator, Sheila Thibault. I found her project on Stampin' Connection and instantly knew I had to make my own version.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-VBr3hjlTnqUpp8XqeNwqtb27Lbo3Yx5YKrqkFqa3RpejhKDCVmuvk06CHDlJXam8WYLrVF5XrKMfD3V6McijZwqnJ5rDvy8kDcCZMJgjpKk9j7cXjUUeX-4L_6_xc0eEVKUpNV4QYj4/s1600/008.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-VBr3hjlTnqUpp8XqeNwqtb27Lbo3Yx5YKrqkFqa3RpejhKDCVmuvk06CHDlJXam8WYLrVF5XrKMfD3V6McijZwqnJ5rDvy8kDcCZMJgjpKk9j7cXjUUeX-4L_6_xc0eEVKUpNV4QYj4/s320/008.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
In the close-ups below you can see all of the texture I put into a lot of the squares. As you can see, I used several different embossing folders and several different punches.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkr5HitFT3WsAJ8Qc-lGXRkJy0-UyJ5sjEOG9XHgI77tPxLJbVccL8IHeUJj2v76Pe0s9d5v76e7fmu1pjDQiJi5AFWTgmCE9rUs8DqUNG137PnHcdnmmhygpegEie-6RY_FiN_MHG2c/s1600/007.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkr5HitFT3WsAJ8Qc-lGXRkJy0-UyJ5sjEOG9XHgI77tPxLJbVccL8IHeUJj2v76Pe0s9d5v76e7fmu1pjDQiJi5AFWTgmCE9rUs8DqUNG137PnHcdnmmhygpegEie-6RY_FiN_MHG2c/s320/007.JPG" /></a> </div>

And while I also used several different colors, the main colors I used are cajun craze, night of navy, and old olive with so saffron, chocolate chip, bashful blue, and real red thrown in for good measure.<br />
The stamp sets that I used are Sweets for the Sweet, Elements of Style, Up Up and Away, Artistic Etchings, Refuge and Strength, and Sincere Salutations (retired.)<br />

Tomorrow, May 31st, is the last day that you can order the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122362" target="_blank">lace ribbon border punch</a>.<br />
Below are a couple of projects that showcase the punch. The first is an 8x8 scrapbook page. You can see how the punch makes a strip that really looks like a strip of lace. I love it.<br />

I've been busy creating, and one of the projects I have made is the name frame below. I wanted to hurry and post it because the alphabet dies that I used, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=113464">Serif Essentials</a>, are about to retire. You only have 'til the 31st to order them.<br />
This name frame is to go into my youngest son's bedroom. It was very easy to make using the big shot. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Wk2kzkgiwosv7KIiitv-qgLDJs70gSEbi6R3G-rahNp0yE_NK7HR4wzbwoHLUBkQGRXauQZBX8hh8d7sapRJmDmzn4bKN06E1g3GcxdQ8JL16uIBuT5L5hCCQfD4W00w99mVs05Zs-M/s1600/017.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Wk2kzkgiwosv7KIiitv-qgLDJs70gSEbi6R3G-rahNp0yE_NK7HR4wzbwoHLUBkQGRXauQZBX8hh8d7sapRJmDmzn4bKN06E1g3GcxdQ8JL16uIBuT5L5hCCQfD4W00w99mVs05Zs-M/s320/017.JPG" /></a><br />
I wanted to put some bling on it but my son wouldn't let me.</div>

The frame is a thrifted frame that I spray painted black. I seem to be on a spray painting kick right now.<br />
Supplies used: basic black card stock<br />

I was lazy and just took the picture right on my desk. This is a frame from the $1 store. I used the<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/default.aspx"> sale-a-bration</a> dsp, Everyday Enchantment. Its only available during <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/default.aspx">sale-a-bration</a> so if you want it, you better hurry.

I used a lot of punches, dies, and embossing folders, and I just love the large pearl jewel that I used for the center of this flower.<br />

I found it on Stampin' Connection and CASEd it from Tamara Bertram who CASEd it from Mindy Backes. I added my own changes to it, which included adding a lot of texture. I love Stampin' Ups! <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=584">embossing folders</a>!<br />

That is <div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"> because my life has been absolutely crazy since August. It's a tragic story but there is a happy ending. God has taken care of me every step of the way. He has blessed me in ways I could never imagine.<br />
<br />
I am back to crafting again and have several projects to share with you in the next few days. Normally, am not a big Valentine's Day fan but this year I have decided to not be a valentines scrooge.<br />
My first project was inspired by a project on <a href="http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/2011/02/all-you-need-is-love.html">Oopseydaisyblog</a>.<br />
Isn't it cute? It is made out of a 2x4 board cut into 6 and 5 inch lengths.<br />
<br />

<br />
I painted the blocks red with spray paint, cut out my letters, tore my paper to fit and modgepodged everything on. Easy peasy!<br />
The background paper I used is called <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=121878">First Edition</a> and looks like pages from a vintage book. I love it!<br />
Don't forget it is <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/">Sale-A-Bration</a> time. Time to earn free products!!<br />

I have been busy making fall and Halloween projects and I can't wait to show them to you. <br />
I'll start with the following witch's boot. My friend, Angela, found this boot and pattern online, but I forgot to ask her where. I used the pattern provided, Stampin' Up paper and ribbon and came up with the below framed Halloween decoration. I don't usually do Halloween decorations, but this was too cute a project to pass up!<br />
I apologize for the quality of the photo. I waited until nighttime to take the picture.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I LOVE the products that I used on this card. </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcGsBzPEINQqojZUw6nKibOFidG5jUAowVP-RTjpJz08zdwunQ6tZR5363b36IDYAs3_f3TaRjpUhmmvweeWyy5qtI_kDvIMZebtrtlTkFqQu1n748w3bqRobRFM1cA_-JZqs_YbR1ic/s1600/007.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcGsBzPEINQqojZUw6nKibOFidG5jUAowVP-RTjpJz08zdwunQ6tZR5363b36IDYAs3_f3TaRjpUhmmvweeWyy5qtI_kDvIMZebtrtlTkFqQu1n748w3bqRobRFM1cA_-JZqs_YbR1ic/s320/007.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">I used the stamp sets Gently Falling (123804), which can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog, and Thank You Kindly (111700), which is in the main Idea Book and Catalog.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Gently Falling Clear-Mount Stamp Set - by Stampin' Up!" id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_imageView_imgbtnEnlargeImage1" src="http://www.stampinup.com/images/EC/123804S.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; width: 200px;" /></div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">I love autumn and Gently Falling is the perfect stamp set for it. Each leaf in the set has two stamps, an outline and the inside. This time I used only the outline of the stamp. I stamped it on a piece of very vanilla that on which I had applied three different colors of ink, pool party, soft suede, and more mustard, using sponges.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">The designer paper I used is also in the Holiday Mini catalog and is called Spice Cake (124003). The colors in it are soft suede, pool party, more mustard, pear pizazz, river rock, and very vanilla. You have to see it in real life to see how beautiful it is.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Spice Cake Designer Series Paper - by Stampin' Up!" id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_imageView_imgbtnEnlargeImage1" src="http://www.stampinup.com/images/EC/124003S.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; width: 200px;" /></div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />

It is CASED from a couple of different cards that I saw on Stampin' Connection (demo online website). I combined two or more ideas I saw on other cards and came up with this one. Of course, though when I went back to see who I had CASED, I couldn't find the cards anymore. I usually save the ones I CASE in my favorites, but they weren't there. I do always like to give credit when I borrow someone else's design and/or idea.<br />
<br />

I have really got to take a photography class, because this card really does look better in real life.<br />
This one of the cards that my stamp club made this month. Later this week, I'll show you the other card that we made. It is a completely different style from this one.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4fvQunj8UJHi0_h0wZcyJYj6qPQ4SB7zRDtyqDyydrjkjT1bOWc5Ae4FLead9z9xk2XIhcaVhBr9ZfldcBpkThaWtK2q8NhNWr0_CO86YZlCDP1b5-BEuB3owL3PcrwYgFHuExqct4I/s1600/005.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4fvQunj8UJHi0_h0wZcyJYj6qPQ4SB7zRDtyqDyydrjkjT1bOWc5Ae4FLead9z9xk2XIhcaVhBr9ZfldcBpkThaWtK2q8NhNWr0_CO86YZlCDP1b5-BEuB3owL3PcrwYgFHuExqct4I/s320/005.JPG" /></a> <br />
I would list the stamps, accessories and etc. that I used on this card, but I am out of town for the next several days and apparently left home without my Idea Book and Catalog!! Can you believe I did that?! I did remember to bring the supplies to work on a card swap that I am participating in though.<br />
<br />
Oh, and I wanted to remind you that today (7/31) is the last day to join SU! as a demonstrator for the low, low price of $99. You really don't want to miss this opportunity so contact me ASAP!<br />

Or maybe you fell in love with one particular style of ribbon, but couldn't afford to buy it in all the available colors? Well, me too, for both of the above, therefore, I have decided to do a ribbon share. What is a ribbon share? It is where you buy a share of a roll of ribbon. For example, this month I am going to offer a ribbon share for the seam binding ribbon. Since, I have never done this before, I am starting small and only offering the seam binding. If this goes well, I will be offering more shares in the future for some of the other ribbon.</div><div align="center">So for the seam binding the cost is <span style="color: #990000;"><strong>$17 for a total of 19 1/4 yards of seam binding ribbon, which includes taxes and shipping to me. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;">The colors you will be receiving are always artichoke, baja breeze, cherry cobbler, crumb cake, pear pizazz, rose red (pictured above), and very vanilla. You will receive 2 3/4 yards of each color.</span></div><div align="center">If you would like to participate in this share you need to email me your:</div><div align="center">name</div><div align="center">email address</div><div align="center">mailing address</div><div align="center">and phone number</div><div align="center">I will then send you an invoice from paypal to your email address for $17. When I receive the ribbon, I will divide it all up, package it, and send you an invoice for the cost of mailing it to you. </div><div align="center">I need at least 7 people to participate in this share. </div><div align="center">So don't delay! Here is a way to get the ribbon you want in all the colors in all the styles over the next few months starting with the seam binding ribbon.</div><div align="center">Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from you,</div><div align="center">Patty Mickle</div><div align="center">Stampin' Up!

She is now 18 months or so. Anyway, I have been meaning to scrap this picture and few others for awhile now and am finally getting them done.<br />
I tried something different this time by placing my title down the side of my page. I got this idea from a book titled, <u>Embellished Emotions for Scrapbookers</u>.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWd79Bey4At9e_dzDGGjvnLTmHDtbToLQdAjitS5xgThDE5Mgn4qFV3_VQPCt4mXy7RkVNVJSV4bG2wM6n71boFFfIR1x3hH9-vPcfoe_b1fRqsWg7p6sExE1rq0E5bZbze3Uwoezkb2k/s1600/002.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWd79Bey4At9e_dzDGGjvnLTmHDtbToLQdAjitS5xgThDE5Mgn4qFV3_VQPCt4mXy7RkVNVJSV4bG2wM6n71boFFfIR1x3hH9-vPcfoe_b1fRqsWg7p6sExE1rq0E5bZbze3Uwoezkb2k/s320/002.JPG" /></a><br />
For this page I used one strip of retired dsp on the title and the soon to be retired photo corners punch. If you want this punch be sure and order it by the 30th or it will be too late.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJFQpReMzMlo4Pl0GuG114Jwpt9T0gShjliJp2VBzMUy1Bgh1NOeBLUG67oBKf7jtDudLq18CvnvzdI5MmkgYVffFmq7BkTZmI0Aw0ryTAbI0CeK7bzzDq4RZKfmZUMEJYNKePwCgIDiw/s1600/005.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJFQpReMzMlo4Pl0GuG114Jwpt9T0gShjliJp2VBzMUy1Bgh1NOeBLUG67oBKf7jtDudLq18CvnvzdI5MmkgYVffFmq7BkTZmI0Aw0ryTAbI0CeK7bzzDq4RZKfmZUMEJYNKePwCgIDiw/s320/005.JPG" /></a><br />
I used real red, basic gray, basic black, and whisper white card stock. I used the heart to heart, full heart extra large, and the eyelet border punches.<br />

When I saw one on LAStamper, I knew I had to make one or two.(I think it was LAStamper. I can't find the post now.) They are cute little note pads made with the fun flower bigz die and the blossom party die.<br />
They are super simple to make. I just cut out the chipboard(the backing), filler sheets and cover using the die. I then used the crop a dile to punch a hole and strung everything on the black 1/8" taffeta ribbon. The cover is made from the bold brights patterns dsp stack.<br />

My stamp club made this page this week, and let me tell you it has a lot of stamping on it. This is a partial CASE from a fellow demonstrator, Sheena Ledbetter. I found her sample on a wonderful demo only site called Stampin' Connection.<br />
At first I thought the map across the top of the page was a piece of patterned paper that I had missed somehow, but no, it is an image that is stamped about 5 times across the page. It was actually pretty easy to do. <br />
I guess I should mention that the stamp set used on this page is Travel Log. Every image on it is stamped from this set. I can't wait to use it to make a mini album/journal to take on vacation with me this summer. <br />
<br />

The ink colors used in this set are cherry cobbler and soft suede. The card stock colors are whisper white, soft suede, baja breeze, and cherry cobbler.<br />

I got the inspiration for this particular project from many different sources online.<br />
Yes, I know the pen isn't decorated, but I didn't decide to make these until the last minute and these were the only pens that I had on hand. I tried to decorated the inside with matching paper, but these are not the pens for that job. So instead we just tied ribbon around them..<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYvDeCcTewkqlE-liuornEHxpJlmvf_bUCSUDGuZ33OPT844N4a1ohXA3XqkUWnCu2izIe20fE-x8BGptRALYl2ivmaVzJY05RmSvqLHlKaJqZsQtbj9YhvyjxgmSzZ4Ztl8vnrHkxyjk/s1600/006.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYvDeCcTewkqlE-liuornEHxpJlmvf_bUCSUDGuZ33OPT844N4a1ohXA3XqkUWnCu2izIe20fE-x8BGptRALYl2ivmaVzJY05RmSvqLHlKaJqZsQtbj9YhvyjxgmSzZ4Ztl8vnrHkxyjk/s320/006.JPG" /></a> <br />
The best thing about this note pad holder is that it has magnets on the back so you can put it on the fridge! I am always looking for a notepad, and now I'll know where one is at all times.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YkQvrIfFssnMWiE4nnwYoCN3Q7BmVwMM9VDsVBFKRylQGndwstAp64WFSy4b4SjDXFsx7NBQtvQ0laYFLynLVqE9UFBZQco7WfP85qaZYgeSXs4Y491WEDfLd-4Md4xWvwf7BcUOxRo/s1600/007.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YkQvrIfFssnMWiE4nnwYoCN3Q7BmVwMM9VDsVBFKRylQGndwstAp64WFSy4b4SjDXFsx7NBQtvQ0laYFLynLVqE9UFBZQco7WfP85qaZYgeSXs4Y491WEDfLd-4Md4xWvwf7BcUOxRo/s320/007.JPG" /></a> <br />
I use the Woodland Walk designer paper and early espresso cardstock and ribbon with very vanilla ribbon on the pen.<br />
Don't forget if you want something off of the <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/pattysplace/promotions">retired list</a> to get it now. You only have until June 30th and some of the accessories are selling out now.<br />
