Happy Birthday ......to ME

Happy Hellos Everyone:

Yes, today is my birthday and happy birthday to all those who celebrate this day with me. I planned to spend this day away from the office and some time away from blogland too. However, before I do that, I wanted to share a card I made. Originally, it was suppose to be a birthday card to myself, but I couldn't find a birthday sentiment small enough to fit in the upper right hand corner of the card.

Take a look...

This is a new line by Basic Grey. I'll have to give you all the particulars when I return from New York. As you can see, I added some dollies, stamped to transparent paper, and created a flower with ribbon.

Also, don't forget Thursday--the 15th is t he last day to enter into this month's All Occasion Card and/or Christmas Card challenges. I would love for you to play along.

Thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Happy Hump Day Everyone:

Just in case you did not know, there are 26 days until Christmas and day three of The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations.

I hope all is well in your part of this world of ours. Can you believe we are into our last day of November? Do you recall I mentioned in my previous post, I received a few goodies in the mail over the Thanksgiving holiday? One of those little goodies was a die from Papertry. I loved this die from the moment I saw it. I tried to talk myself out of it, but it just didn't happen. Well, when I decided to order it, the die was sold out. Some kinda luck, right? You snooze you lose--so the saying goes. Fortunately, it didn't take too long before it was back on the shelves and in my hands. I just love, love, love what this little die does. This is one die I hope to use throughout the year. It's perfect for any occasion. Without further ado, take a look.

 

Yes, I realize this bag looks very much like the card I posted yesterday, but I told you I really like this DP. Beside, it's an excellent way to show the coordinating card. Well, what do you think? Thinking you may just want to have this die too. Well, if you like this little creation, wait to you see the other bags that will follow. As you can see, I pulled out the wonderful Jovial line from Basic Grey. I added a border base, a little ribbon treatment and a sentiment from WMS and I was done. This is  just one of those lines I get the impression you can never fail when using it.

As always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery and be sure to stop in tomorrow for the next item up in the gallery's parade of paper creations.

CASED Card Part II

Happy Hellos Eeveryone:

....and T.G.I.F. too. Today's card is simular to the card I cased the other day only this time I tried to put a spin on it to make it appear slightly different  than the card I blogged about on Tuesday. I almost hated the thought of changing it because as I mentioned in the previous post, I simply love what had already been created. I just wanted to case it. So, I changed the colors and the layout and this is what I came up with....

I really had a male recipient in mind when I was putting this together. However, clearly you can see this card works for a male or female recipient. As always, thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Cardstock: Papertey
Stamps: Papertrey

DP: My Mind's Eye

Ink: Moment; Stampin' Up, Distress Ink

Equipment Used: Paper Cutter, Hot Glue Gun

Totally CASED

Happy Hellos Everyone:

Yes, I totally cased this card. I absolutely loved this card from the moment I saw it for so many reasons. I found it to be unique. I could use my scraps. It's dimensional and do love my dimensions. Lastly, making this card was rather easy. I have been wanting to make this card for over a month now, but I just haven't found the time until recently. This will probably become the card of the year for me to give to my family and/or friends for 2012 birthdays. So, for any family or friends that may read this post--just look surprise when it arrives in your mailbox.

After I cased the card, I made another version of the card to help make it my own. I'll share that card with you in tomorrow's post. In the meantime take a look at today's card and tell me what you think. Take a look....

Well, what do you think? I can tell you this was such a fun card to make and more importantly, it's an excellent way to rid the little pieces of paper without throwing them in the trash receptacle.

 As always, thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Uplifting Greetings

Happy Hellos Everyone:

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Baltimore and I hope wherever you are it's just as beautiful. I have to for warn you there are a couple of post that will follow my initial post today. Hopefully, you have an opportunity to stop by again to take a look at what I managed to create. I began to think, this week would probably appear to me as a blur when I thought of all the things I wanted and need to do prior to the fourth of July celebration. So, yesterday I worked on a few cards and a project, I wanted to share with you.

First up is a card I made to participate in this week's challenge over at CR84FN. I have to tell you... I wanted this stamp every since I first laid eyes on it months ago. However, my LSS did not carry it until recently. I must admit, I was a little disappointed when I received my stamp. It was a mini. So, I didn't use it, until now. Since I'm admitting things....I was happy with my little mini--very happy--like happy hellos, happy. I should have used it long ago.  Well anyway, just below is the inspirational photo..

I thought the color selection was wonderful--very seasonal.

...as a result, this is what I created....

 

This was actual a fun card to make. Who couldn't love a flowered hot air balloon? Hot air balloons seems to be perfect for just about any occasion. Well, as always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery. I hope you like what you've seen and perhaps it may have inspired you too. Come back and visit real soon.
