Accordion Fold Train Birthday Card

This is the card that my sister-in-law, Jess, made for my nephew's third birthday party this year. I thought it was so cute I just had to share it!

Here are the measurements:
card back - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
accordion part - 12" x 5 1/4" scored at 3 1/4" for the first flat part that you will tape down to the card back and then (3) - 2" sections and the last one is 2 3/4".
So going across you score at 3 1/4", 5 1/4", 7 1/4" and 9 1/4"
She used the Right on Track roller and the retired Circus train stamp set. Right now there is the Choo Choo stamp set that is current that you can do the same thing with though!

Fishy Birthday Card

My daughter decided for her fifth birthday party this year she wanted fish invitations. She helped me pick the colors and told me what she wanted it to look like.
This is what we came up with! I used Perfect Plum and Pretty in Pink cardstock.

Artisan Award Loser.... #10


Here is my last Artisan Award Contest losing entry!
This was my favorite card that I did and I did it all with punches! The words I used are retired from the Happily Ever After stamp set and of course the chairs are made out of Creamy Caramel cardstock and sponged with Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa ink, also retired.
I am getting all my swaps ready for Convention right now but after that is all over I will put together a tutorial on how I made them.
Hope you have enjoyed all of my Artisan Award Contest losing projects.

Back From Vacation!






I am back from my vacation and I had a great time!
We went to the beach in Avalon, NJ (which I would highly suggest for anyone looking to go somewhere) with my wonderful in-laws, my parents and my husbands brother, sister-in-law and their kids. I will post a few pictures and then it will be back to stamping as usual! Sorry for the delay in posting!
