Hey there peeps,

It's been an eventful day today for me. I got to meet Tenia from Jazzy Paper Designs, what a wonderful person, so full of life and energy! We had lunch in Boulder, actually we both go to CU Boulder so literally we are really close by :D

A card for you today, you might ask yourself if this paper is from the Nook and Pantry collection from Basic Grey and yes it is. For some reason the paper struck me as holiday-ish and thought it would look good decorated as ornaments. I used my EpicSix die cut machine for the ornaments. You like? It's pretty simple and easy to mail :D

Have you seen what Torendi has in store now? JilliBean Soup products and EAD Designs rub-ons, they are so cute! Shop their NEW items HERE.

Hope your week is going well. Just a couple more days till Scott and I head out to NYC :D

Take it easy,

If this is as much a surprise to you then we're on the same boat, haha. Yeah, it came to me when I saw these cute bots from the Bam Bop paper collection included in the Nov "Pop" Kit from Torendi. Awesome huh? I had no idea what to make for this week's card and after I decided what paper to use I figured, ok, this is going to work as an engagement card! Know any couple that if they got married their wedding would be far from the traditional one? Yeah, this card would be perfect for them. It's cute and hip! heehee. Ok, the card is pretty much simple, didn't want to add too much to it since the paper is awesome and full of bold colors. Tied some ribbon, added a button and sentiment and voila, a cute card!

Hope your week starts off well. Mine sure is, lots of things to do before Scott and I head on out to NYC! yeah baby! ;o) Yup, we're spending Thanksgiving over at his fam up in NY and we're so excited. We don't have much planned but we'll see what we end up doing, for sure we're gunna go to Soho and Greenwich Village (my fav place so far in the world!) We might end up going to the Macy's Thanksgiving parade too, we'll see how cold it gets.

Ok, There's still time to head on over to Torendi and purchase your Pop kit if you haven't. Remember, there's a flat rate shipping so no worries if you plan on adding more stuff to yer cart.

Hey there peeps,

TGIF! No kidding, I've been waiting for Fri since Mon, hehe, partly cuz I had a brutal Thurs- exams :o[ But anywhos, today I'm sharing with you a Holiday card! I luv luv luv my brand new EpicSix die cut/embossing tool! YEY! I purposely took hubby to Archiver last wkend cuz they were having a sale on the EpicSix ($60 usually sold for $70 but some places $80) And I told him that it's what I wanted for this holiday since I don't have one, and we got sold on the tool, we got a demo and all, so now I'm breaking it out with my new embossing plate, hee hee.

Ok, the card is super cute and really not much too it. I got this holiday embossing plate (which is actually from Cuttlebug but can be used with the EpicSix) and figured it would like nice as the main theme of the card, I was right! Tied some ribbon and button, added a snowflake and sentiment and Voila! tell me what you think! The only thing I don't like about the embossing is that it warps the card, not sure if it's the card stock I used or the type of embossing plate I used, do any of you have a problem like this when you emboss cards?

Last thing, Torendi is still having their SALE- going on through Nov 16th. There's still time to get your goodies using the discount they're offering! Japanese imports are 15% off now through the 16th

Torendi "Pop" Gift Card

Hello Peeps,

A happy Mon to ya. Today I have a Torendi inspired gift card using Bam Pop paper from the Nov Pop kit. I luv how fun and girlie the colors are, so much fun to work with. I used Kristina's template for the gift card and you can find it by clicking here. What I like a lot about the patterned paper as well is that it's heavy enough to serve as a base card, or in this case as the gift card holder. So, I highly recommend the Nov kit, and remember that there's a flat rate shipping of $5 should in case you want add those yummy stamps or patterned paper! Also, if you really like the patterned paper I used for the gift card you can buy it separately as well, it's called High Voltage, you can find it by clicking here. Lastly, be sure to visit the Torendi Blog, lots of cool stuff going on, daily promotions and awesome inspiration coming from their awesome DT!

Gift Card Supplies:

-Nov "Pop" Kit: (includes Bam Pop and AC patterned paper, pink flower, AC brad)
-polka dot ribbon
-SU! stamps and puncher
-Glue Dots

Have a great wk,

Clouds :D

Hey Ladies,

A good Fri to ya! I have a card for you today, it's a thank you card. I've been on a crafter's block lately, I can't seem to like any of the ideas I come up with :o( bummer! This card I made a week ago. I really like the colors, I rarely use gray and I found some on my card stock folder and decided to use 'em. Luv the blue on gray, and the green is just perfect! Oh yeah, the pearls gives the umbrella an elegant look!

Hey Ladies,

Happy Mon to ya! My first Holiday Card of the season, how awesome! I am super excited for the upcoming cards I'll get to create for fam and friends. I luv the look of this card, as you may already know, not much into the traditional holiday colors, I like the idea of the modern look. So with the said, my card is just that. The tree is 'frosted' using Martha Stewart fine glitter (I found it at Michael's) but first I just traced over the branches and tree trunk with my Sakura white gel pen to give it that snow-y look. You like? The tech is pretty simple! You should try it!

I am thinking that I'll prolly make all the cards different but who knows, I might stick to one look and work with it, we'll see!

***Oh yeah, I am the Nov Torendi setter, how awesome, be sure to check out their blog for daily info and promotions! Do check their Nov "Pop" Kit, the kit is awesome!
