Make n Take for my Downline Meeting

Its been a crazy busy week all ready and its only Tuesday, WOW. Just Realized that I dont have a post scheduled for tomorrow yet so I figured I better get one on her.

I  Had my downline meeting tonight and this was one of the make n takes that we did. I will post the other one Friday Morning because its the one for my party on Thursday and I dont want to share it until after the party. I found this one on Pinterest. LOVE THAT SITE. Although I wish I knew how to tag my own and put them on there. Especially when they are my own or my downline or customers own design.

For this card, we used the DayDream medallions and Perfect Pairs stamp set.
For Ink we used Garden Green. Card Stock is Cherry Cobbler, garden Green and whisper White.
We used the tulip embossing folder and the Floral Framelits with the Big shot.
we used a 1 3/4 circle punch to punch the center of the wreath and then punched a white circle to put on top of the bottom layer of the wreath because no punch would fit.
We used the Cherry Cobbler Dotted ribbon and some Rhinestones. Rhinestones are on sale for one more day. Be sure to look online at the online extravaganza. I am placing my order first thing in the morning because I wont be home till late and I dont want to miss out. The Clear blocks and the block caddy is also on sale. Email me right away if you want to order any of them.
Rubber Hugs.
Thanks for Stopping by.

This Card was made by one of my newest recruits, Jackie botala, She used Snowflake Soiree and embossed the images in Silver, I cant remember the dsp but the card stock is white and crumb cake. Seasons greetings came from the set: snow swirled. Raspberry Ripple Ribbon and Scallop punch. Thanks for coming back. Will see you tomorrow.

 

I am hoping to have time to sit and create today, My dad is currently in the Hospital so I'm headed there now and it will depend how he is doing. Today is Sunday but I'm posting this for Tuesday morning. I am rather enjoying the ability to schedule posts but I am forgetting that the posts wont happen on the same day so it might sound like I'm talking about the day at hand but I'm really not. LOL.

Rubber Hugs to all

Visit with Grandkids

My Son Scott and his family came to visit us for Thanksgiving. Nicole and the kids wanted to make some cards so we sat and made some. below are some photos of the fun we had. All While the Turkey was cooking.

Here is another card made by Mindy Brown. She and I did a card buffet on Sunday together and this was one of her cards.

Here is what she has to say about it.

 

I had seen other cards using that snow much fun stamp set and other framelits, but nothing stuck out that I can remember. I wanted something fairly easy so I used what I had. Here's what I can think of that I used

 

 

Stamps: Snow Much Fun

Dies: Label collection framelits

Cardstock: cherry cobbler, gumball green

Paper: snow festival designer, red or silver glimmer paper

Ribbon: 3/8" stitched satin gumball green

Misc: festive paper-piercing pack, 1/2" circle punch, stazon black ink, watercolor pencils or markers

 

Thanks for Stopping by and I hope you like her card.

Card Creation

This card was made by one of my Downline, Mindy Brown. She made this for our most recent card buffet and I believe is making this for her swap for my next downline meeting. She used the Punch Pack from the holiday mini and created this card by punching the images out of the white and adhering them to the color to make it pop. She also used the adorning edgelits to style up the edge and added a sentiment. This is a great creation and a wonderful addition to our card buffet last Sunday.

Here are Mindy's comments regarding the card and where she got the idea.

The christmas cheer/merry minis card is something that I saw on splitcoaststampers. Her name is Andrea Borries - snippetbyandrea.blogspot.com/2012/07/clean-and-simple-christmas-cards.html. I did tweak it to use very vanilla & chocolate chip cardstock and then added the adorning accents edgelit & embossing folder plus satin seam binding once you asked me to make it more exciting. I also changed the colors to garden green, daffodil yellow and real red. And lastly, merry minis punches without the stamp set.

 

Thanks for checking in today. Come back again. I will be posting regularly.
Hugs
Betty

A "Betty Creation"

First of all I want to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU. I hope you enjoy your day.

Next, As most of you know, I do not always create my own cards, Well, once in awhile I get inspired to do so, This card is one of those Betty Creation Cards.

I saw this Die when it came out in the Holiday catalog and I thought of the potential. I put off buying it at first but finally I had this idea in my head and decided to purchase it. I used this card for my card buffet and since that I also used it at several of my workshops and everyone loved it so I thought I'd share it here.
Supplies used to make this card are as follows.....
Whisper White Card stock for the base, Brushed Gold card Stock for the layer which in embossed with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, The snowflakes are cut out of Red glimmer and Silver glimmer using the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. There is a silver brad in the center of the snowflakes holding them together and they are dimensionaled to the embossed layer.
Lastly I used the More Merry Messages stamp set for the Merry Christmas and embossed it in Silver Embossing Powder.
Thanks and I hope you like it.
Hugs

Card Buffet last weekend

BLOG CANDY

OK, Its now Blog Candy Time. I've been talking about it for a little while but didn't have time to get something together, photograph it and post it but last night we changed my stamp room and moved my table and shelves into our living room, With Slim and I mostly being the only ones here we both thought it would be a good idea. that way, we have the spare room for other things. SO, yay its all set up and looks OK. I am not sure I'm completely thrilled about it but its done and Slim says it wasn't meant to be moved and we are not moving it again,

SO, now on to the blog candy, I found some retired Hodge Podge Hardware kits, Some pieces are missing but its still quite a few pieces in there. SO, I am giving that along with the hostess stamp set, Four Seasons. If you win and you already have that one, you can certainly choose another hostess set, I have more, just had to post one. SO, HERE IT IS...................................................................................

Now, to win the blog candy, you have to leave a post and let me know what you think about me doing Product based Classes, This is a class that the product is included in the price and its a regularly scheduled event for 6 months at a time so that you know the dates ahead of time.
It will be something like, stamp a stack or a scrap booking class where you get all the supplies and even a little portion to take home with you all for one complete price.
Looking forward to hearing your answers. Will also be emailing out details on this later, but I have been doing some research to find ways to make my business solid and consistent.
Go ahead and post by October 30th and I will draw for the winner of my blog candy on October 31st.
Thanks for stopping by.......Rubber Hugs, Betty

 Rsvp by October 9th with full payment due at that time. I have to pre order the supplies so pre payment is expected.
There will be a Grand prize drawing for some goodies at this event and you will be able to earn tickets for that drawing  and a list will be emailed out after you've registered.  One of the ways to earn tickets is to bring a food to share. We will need some lunch and some snacks. Space is limited for this event so RSVP before its full
Still want to come but can't make the October date, No worries, there will be another chance to come.
There will also be a 2nd class option and that will be held on Saturday November 17th at noon  Sunday November 11th at Kelleys Field Hall in Hinesburg at 10 am at Hinesburg Alliance Church. Again we will have the grand prize drawing at this event and will need food and snacks.
Come and join us. This is going to be fun. Here is the photo.
The ribbon needs some adjusting but I burned myself on the hot glue and couldnt fix it because THAT HURT. You will have options to change some things if you dont like them and adjust to your liking but for the most part things will be cut and you just choose what you wish to decorate your wreath with.
