more cards!!!

here is a sampling of what i have been up to this week....more card packs for my aunt!  :)

this is done with the new Labels Framelets Dies from Stampin' Up!  i like how they all lay within each other!


also new from Stampin' Up! is the mixed bunch stamp set (the flowers) and a matching punch to make for easy cutting!


 all 12 cards are on facebook, under "albums" and then click on "cards."  hope you have a fantastic week!  :)

flowers and card class!

my first card class for 2012 will be january 19th, this thursday!  thought i better get my tush in gear and figure out what i was going to make.  here are 2 of the 3 cards that everyone will be making.  my card classes are here in cheney.  for $10, you will make 3 handmade cards and get 3 enveloples and have an excuse to come gossip and hang out with some pretty rad girls!  :)

a purple valentines day card!


a second valentines day card....with creative inspiration from rosee...she suggested a little different color scheme...love it!
 and...next...are flowers for a very dear family.  my neighbors were over at christmas and wanted flowers for their entry way.  luckily i had my handmade handy dandy color ring with all of stampin' up!'s colors so that we could get the perfect colors picked out.  they haven't seen them yet....so if you are reading, you know who you are...i hope you like them!  they will be in the mail shortly!  ;)

the rose looking ones were a tutorial i bought but then changed it up so it was a little more stephanie style!

Cherry Cobbler, Peach Parfait, Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, and Very Vanilla

i know i know

ok...i know.....it has been forever since i posted....

so now is a new year and ill will promise to post more...my goal...once a week.

i do want to catch you up on all the things i have done in the past 2 1/2 months...time flew by!!!!

one major note.  i had numerous people tell me they couldn't post any comments on the blog because they weren't gmail customers.  so i did start a facebook page for Cards by Stephanie.  search for me and like my page.  im trying to keep that a little more current than this because most everyone has a facebook, and then everyone can comment!  :)

my dream came true in december...i had card orders coming in hot and heavy!  it was a dream come true for me.  i got to do something i LOVE doing while making some money!  i made christmas,  birthday, thank you, and blank cards for my friends and family.  i also learned some new flowers that i am so excited about.  here are some peeks at what i made....

Birthday balloons...i LOVE this card!

black and white flowers i made for a dear family friend

cupcake card! 

my second favorite card right now!

i love this paper!
 this is just a small sample of what i did.  at one point i had orders totaling more than 50 cards!  :)  again...my dream came true.  and i owe that to all my family and friends who wanted handmade cards and gifts from me.  a girl couldn't ask for anything more. 

ok...i lied...i asked reed if i could go to salt lake city this summer for stampin' up!'s annual convention...lets put it this way...he didn't say no, yet! 

love steph
