Birthdays are the Best Card

Today’s card is a fun and easy card that allows you to use up all those bits and pieces of Designer Paper that you may have laying around in your stash. And when I say easy, I mean easy!  This definitely qualifies as a 5 minute card.

You can download a pdf handout of how today’s card was made HERE.  This pdf includes a full supply list and written step-by-step directions with dimensions.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  We’ll be back again on Monday with the new class planner release and of course a give-away!

Bunny From Behind Punch Project

Posted on: Thursday, March 11th, 2010

With Spring just around the corner, I felt that I absolutely had to celebrate by creating something totally cute and non-wintery!  What better way to celebrate then with a fluffy, chubby bunny.  I just love looking at rabbits.  I love that pear shaped body and those liquid eyes.  He was so easy to make and I have to say that I am pleased as punch with him!  I figure that I can use hime as a tag for my Daughter’s Easter basket.  I will just have to make one more for my Son’ s basket as I don’t think he will be happy if she has one and not him.  Anyway, this is a really fast and easy project, and I hope you like it as much as I do :)

Bella Bleu Birthday Card, the Online Class Winners & the WICKED Challenge Winners

Hi everyone – long time no talk! *LOL* I wanted to add my apologies to Soph’s about how slow things have been here on the blog for the last week and a half.  There’s been a lot of different things coming together that have made it challenging to keep up our regular blogging schedule. As Soph mentioned, she’s in the middle of trying to sell her house.  From this end I was feeling pretty awful with another one of my nasty week long headache spells. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile then you’ll now that headaches have been an ongoing issue of mine for awhile now.  They’re not migranes, but pretty close to it. About 2-3 times a year I get a week long stretch of headaches that pretty much last round the clock and really knock me out. I’ve tried a bunch of different things to figure out what the problem is but have yet to find a solution.  I’ve finally decided to go and see a naturopathic doctor (my appointment is tomorrow) to see if she can help. 

I’ve also been having some computer/network issues. I recently switched internet service providers, hoping to eliminate the problems we were having with Rogers (they were throttling the internet so my upload and download speeds were crazy slow).  However there seems to be a whole slew of new problems which my computer guys are trying to figure out. Then of course my husband had to unexpectedly go out of town on a business trip. He’s been gone since Monday and may not get back until Friday. 

Anyways, on to today’s card. You can download the pdf handout HERE.  The inspiration for this card came from one of the cards on the front cover of the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Papercrafts magazine. I don’t have a video for you as I’m still not quite back up and running.  I’ll probably be resuming my regular video filming next week once everything is sorted out.

I also wanted to announce the winners of the WICKED challenge which I had last week.  They are Krissie84 and Karina Chin. You can choose either a stamp class by email or class planner of your choice.  Please email me at andrea@sunnystampin.com and put WICKED challenge winner in the subject line and then your choice of stamp class by email or class planner in the body of the email.

As promised, I’m also announcing the winner of the Honoring Mothers & Father’s online class…..and the winner is….

Card Case

Posted on: Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
By Andrea · Comments (16)

Wow!  This day did not at all go as I had planned!  I woke up this morning, expecting that my 3 year old son would be going to pre-school for the day, and at 7:30 AM my plans were ruined.  His school called that the day had to be cancelled since the teacher had an emergency and they could not get a replacement!  Well my plans for a day working and filming and creating was gone in a space of 1 minute.  My day was instead spent trying to entertain my son and keep him out of trouble.  He himself was not happy about missing his school.  He loves to go, and being such an active child, needs the company and environment to burn off his excess energy.  It is now 10 pm and I finally have a silent house with no one calling out anymore.  Things have just been so crazy for both Andrea and I that we just have not had as much time to blog as we would like to, so we do apologize and hope you can be patient with us as we try to slog through our workload.

OK, so for today’s card, I wanted to try something different.  Every month I get the Paper Craft magazine, and I just love reading it and looking for ideas.  Well there is one designer in there who’s work I just love.  Her name is Betsy Veldman, and I always look forward to seeing her work.  She has such a beautiful Vintagy style that is just gorgeous!  Well I saw a card on page 53 of the March/April 2010 issue of the magazine that was created by Betsy Veldman.  I wanted to see if I could create the same sort of feel/card  using our Stampin’ Up! products.  The ledger paper I used actually came from an accounting ledger book which I purchased for 10 dollars from an office supply store.  I am not sure If I like how mine turned out, but here it is anyway.  I don’t have anything else that I am ready to show yet but figured I may as well show my iffy card for lack of anything better.  This thursday I have a puch project to share which I am just tickled pink with!  I will have the PDF for you tomorrow.

Hugs,

I love this idea and you used my favorite paper (at this time) Cottage Wall. What’s not to love, it purple is a part of it! Keep the ideas coming and thanks for sharing.
