Sarah's Calla Lilies

This is a wedding shower card for "Sarah Cha Cha Cha".

Her wedding theme is passion Calla Lilies.  I 

searched the internet and found a number of ways to

make Calla Lilies.  They are actually pretty easy:

1.  Punch a round circle.  I used 1 3/4" punch.

2.  Break down the fibers in the paper.

You can do this by repeatedly running the punched

circle against your bone folder or over the
edge of a table.

3.  Use a pipe cleaner or twisted length

of paper for the stem.

4.  Place the stem against the center of 

the punched circle, using glue or glue dots.

5.  "Curl or roll" one side of the circle over

and glue to the "stem".

6.  "Curl or roll" the other side over and glue.

It really is easy.

Products:

Paper:  Whisper White, Burgundy

Sets:  Fabulous Phrases (I love this set

because it can be used for any occasion).

Accessories:  Big Shot Petals-a-Plenty Embossing 

Folder and Hearts Collection Framelits

Jewelry Tag Punch, Celery 5/8" ribbon,

Baker's Twine, TOMBO GLUE FOR
STRONG HOLD!

Sadly, I also made Sarah a 2 page scrapbook

layout and forgot to take a picture.  I completed it

right before I had to go to work, and gave it

to Sarah that day.  Best wishes Sarah!

Ornament Punch

Don't forget the ornament punch this Christmas season.  SU 

sells several sets that coordinate with this punch.  This combination

makes it easy to crank out those Christmas cards!

This set uses Always Artichoke, Soft Suede, Real Red and Crumb Cake.

This ornament set, Delightful Decorations is found on page 35 of 

the main catty.

A Big Shot embossing folder was used to add texture to the card base 

and layered portions of the card.

I did not have Artichoke taffeta ribbon, so I colored

some white with a marker!

Memorial Day T-Shirt

Paula Achaerbigler did a very cool t-shirt with the motorcycle

from the  summer mini on the front.  That gave me the idea for this

Memorial Day T-shirt card.

I used the large oval punch to cut out the neck and arm holes

in a Brilliant Blue card base.

I also cut out large oval real red slivers to accent the arm holes.

Punched out 3 stars and added gold brads.

The Whisper White band was stamped with "Thank You" 

from the Upsy Daisy set.

Assemble and this card is done.
