Butterflies: Live Laugh Love

Last weekend I was at the Stampin’ Up! On Stage Event in San Diego and besides having a blast with my crafting friends, I met an extraordinary woman named Doris Martin.  A Holocaust Survivor, she beat the odds in life! Let me tell you, she was something else and I’ll never forget her.  She signed my book and as I hugged her she held me tightly and said in my ear, “Sweetie, with Peace & Love you have everything.  So live life, laugh always, and give away your love.”  Her words put tears in my eyes and I just had to share this with you.  I just started to read her book, Kiss Every STEP and I have to say, “I can’t put it down!”  You can get one yourself on Amazon.

Having visited Dachau in Germany years ago and remembering what I saw at the museum came flooding back as if it was just yesterday.  The weird thing was that I made the card a few weeks ago before ever meeting her and I found it lovely that she used the words on the card when I hugged her.  I think I’m just going to have to send her the card.  Be Blessed and Be Thankful!  Keep on Living, Laughing, and Loving!

The Details:

  • Simplicity is in the details.  Punch, Adhere, Stamp & Emboss and BOOM you’re done!  The particular Designer Series Paper on my card is no longer available, but don’t let that stop you!  Use your favorite or whatever you have on hand.
  • Butterfly punches are retiring.  Yes, they are being retired in May and they’re only available while supplies last.  So you may want to grab them now before they’re gone for good.  With a bone folder give the butterfly wings a little curl inward to give them the in-flight 3D look.
  • Embossing powder.  Use whichever color your heart desires.  The black one I used is retired by us, but you can get more colors here.

Don’t Quit Your Day Dream!

What is the best and perfect way to encourage someone to continue their dreams?  With a simple handmade card…that how!  The number one value placed on a gift is time.  People will know what they mean to you when you stop for a few moments to make them that handmade card.

The Details:

  • The shirt.  Can you tell the shirt was made out of a onesie die-cut!?  I used the Babies First Framelits Dies and cut the bottom portion off!  I love the versatility of our framelits.  I used our Silver Foil sheets to make the hanger.  The possibilities are endless! I love it!

Dance Like Nobody is Watching

This stamp set is called Beautiful You and it gives a whole new meaning to the saying, “Dance like nobody is watching.”  This type of card is perfect for the person who is going through a tough time or they just need a little confirmation that everything is going to be ok.

The Details:

  • Not everything has to be centered.  When I first started card making my cards, I used to think that everything had to be centered.  How wrong I was back then.  Aligning the cardstock, the designer series paper or anything else isn’t always needed, but easy to put together.

Happy Birthday: To A Classic Grandpa

Guy Greetings

Today’s card was custom made for a customer (Mark) in Alaska.  I even mailed it for him.  But what did the inside of it say?  Well, it was easy!  Mark texted me a written message which I printed and cut to size and adhered it to the inside.  Needless to say, anything handmade and custom is always loved.

Notecard Gifts in My Digital Studio

Note Cards MDS

Do you use My Digital Studio? If you do…have you used it to make notecards like these for gifts? If you don’t…you should. Why? Just look at what you can make for gifts! LOL

Seriously, I made a few sets of classic his & her notecards and gave them as Christmas gifts. But hey, you can still make them for Birthday, Anniversary, or Congratulations gifts. Imagine all the money you can save AND how much more a handmade gifts are appreciated.

If it’s not obvious these to lucky friends are from New Orleans, LA and they just happen to be Saints fans (just in case you missed it)… HA!

MAGGIE MADE THOUGHTS:

  • Did you know that men’s and women’s teeth are shaped slightly different? What does this have to do with this post!?
  • Well, when I made these notecards I made the fleur-de-lis just slightly different in each card. Bryan’s set has a rigid sharp cornered fleur-de-lis and Sindy’s is more rounded with delicate curves.
  • So, in the same way teeth are slightly different, so are the watermarks in each card. Now does the first bullet make sense? LOL

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for three years now and I’ve grown successfully in each year. In about a week or so I’m going to make a super announcement that has me ‘all shook up’ (in Elvis Presley’s voice). I’m so excited because when I was initially given the news I couldn’t stop smiling. When one door closed another opened and I can’t wait to share it with you!
