I made this card using the Bugaboo Turtles Winter stamp.  You can find this digi stamp HERE.   It's impossible to make this turtle look anything but adorable!  The sequins silver snowflake embelishments really pop out IRL.  I added some stickles to the image to give it a little bling!

Triangle Star Shaped Card with JJ

Supplies
Stamps:  Cupcake JJ
Paper:  Chocolate Chip Textured Paper, Heidi Grace Sweetest Bug, Whisper White
Accessories:  Three for You Punch, Marvy Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Marvy Giga Circle Punch, SU Modern Label Punch, Pearls

It's MONDAY and that means it's time for this week's Totally Stampalicious Challenge.  This week we want you to use SHAPES - Anything but a rectangle or square shaped card!  I decided to try something new and I made this Triangle Star shaped card.  I found the step by step instructions for this card on Stamp Owl's Blog HERE.  I made the base with Chocolate Chip 12 x 12 textured paper and then again with 12 x 12 designer paper for the top layer.  I just trimed the DP paper on the score lines and then trimed again on each edge to make it smaller.

I used the Totally Stampalicious Cupcake JJ stamp set for the image and sentiments on this fun card.

Here's a not great picture of the card opened:

I used double sided velcro to hold the card closed.  You can see the velcro on the lower left panel.  The sentiment on the inside reads Party Like a Rock Star!

This month is going to be a busy one!  I've been working ahead on my July projects because I'm leaving for vacation on Thursday.  I'm so excited for vacation!  I'm also super excited to share all my projects.

This adorable Gus card is for this week's Totally Stampalicious - Stars & Stripes Challenge.  I used the Totally Stampalicious Birthday Gus stamp set for the image and sentiment.  The designer paper is from We R Memory Keepers (Yankee Doodle designer paper).  I love, love, love this paper!  I also got to use my Stampin' Up Red Glitter paper.  Of course Gus is looking fabulous in Red, White, and Blue - he always makes me laugh.

Happy JULY!

Today I’m sharing my July calendar page.  I’m so glad my friend Monique invited me to join this calendar page blog hop!  I’m having so much fun making these pages!

Huge thanks to my Husband Scott for sanding and staining my calendar stand.  It looks so much prettier now!!!! 

This page measures 6.5 inches square.  The designer paper is from the Yankee Doodles 6 x 6 paper (We R Memory Keepers).  I created the calendar in Microsoft Excel and printed it out on Whisper White Cardstock.  Then I just added the red scalloped mat, stars and ribbon.  I love how quick and easy this page was!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my calendar page.  Be sure to stop by and see all the other great calendar pages that my friends have put together!  Here are the links to their blogs!
