DJ's Sundries

My best friend and I recently celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary.  I wanted to make him a special card, but was running short on time, so I had to come up with something that I could make quickly. Close To My Heart Supplies: White Daisy Cardstock Cocoa Cardstock Cocoa Exclusives Ink Magical Days Holiday stamp set Owls stamp set (B1450, retired) My Crush "Besties" assortment set Other supplies: ATG Small heart punch - Recollections Striped ribbon from unknown source Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Good morning everyone.  I would like to welcome you to a new year on DJ's Sundries.  I am so happy that you chose to stop by today. Have you ever had one of those projects that changed completely after you got started?  That kind of happened to me with this card.  I had planned to use some 3 Girl JAM Merlot ribbon on the front of the card, but when I went to grab it, I had used all of mine.  No worries, I already let Julie know that I need more.  Instead, I used some of the new Jute ribbon in the same color.  I think I like the finished project even better.  It definitely looks more masculine than a soft ribbon bow would have looked.

Hello everyone.  I trust this finds you well.  I have been so crazy busy that I haven't really taken the time to craft lately.  That means that I'm really far behind.  My brother and sister-in-law's anniversary was last week and I didn't have time to make a card.  So this is what I did to still give them a little something special. I started by going into my card stash and discovered that I didn't have any anniversary cards made up.  However, I found this adorable wedding card that my friend Crystal made. ** Last year we had a card exchange club where each month we would pick a different theme and make around 8 cards.  Then we would exchange them between us.  It was great.  Not only did we receive great inspiration from each other, but we increased our card stashes.  Those cards have saved my bacon on more than one occasion.** The next step was to figure out how to turn this wedding card into an anniversary card.  I grabbed my...

For the current giveaway, click -  Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things Welcome back everyone.  I have a great project to share with you today.  Not only am I planning to share it with you, but I'm also linking it up over on the 3 Girl Jam Challenge blog.  In the current challenge, we are supposed to link up a card with a handmade ribbon flower.  Every project that I've seen has been fabulous!  You should go and check them all out.  Then head to your crafty space and make your own card and link it up. My sister recently celebrated her 1st anniversary.  (Yes, I'm running late again!)  I wanted to make a special card for her.  This is what I came up with. I used the following items: 3 Girl Jam iced blue crinkle ribbon and vintage buttons Tim Holtz - Papillion and Heartfelt stamp sets; word strip Jenny Bowlin - Soap Powder ink Prima - Say it in Pearls bling Hero Arts - All Occasion Messages Owl & Thistle - doilies ...

I trust this finds you all well.  I wanted to share this card with you.  I love the old fashioned feel of this one.  I used Distress Ink (Faded Jeans, Walnut Stain, Black Soot), the Heartfelt stamp set, distress paper, tickets, and a philosophy tag from Tim Holtz.  I used "All in the Family" by K. Andrew Designs, a doily sprayed in yellow shimmer spray, and lace from my stash to help complete the look. The card base was made from PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock and the inside finished with more tickets.  Please watch the video for more information.  Thanks for watching and have a great day! I am entering this in the 3 Girl Jam - Beautiful Bows Challenge .

I know you don't typically see a "cutesy" anniversary card from me, but this is for a special couple who celebrated their 5th anniversary and "Beauty & the Beast" has special meaning to them. I once again pulled out the Princess paper pad from Hot Off the Press and went to work.  Elegant edges was the perfect cartridge to create my heart mat and my base was made from Vintage Cream card stock from PaperTrey Ink.  The blue paper was from DCWV's Shimmer stack and Sunflower crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam made a beautiful bow.  The little pearls in the corners were made using Ranger liquid pearls in bisque.  The inside sentiment was stamped using a birthday set from TPC Studio.  The video contains full details on how to make the card so I hope you have a few minutes to enjoy it. Thanks for watching and have a great day! I am linking this to the following challenge 3 Girl Jam Beautiful Bows  

Outside of the Card I went to my craft space to start making Valentines earlier this evening.  However, when I got started I ended up making an anniversary card instead.  I used the "Wild Card" Cricut cartridge and papers from Recollections and K & Company.  Best of all I was able to use my newest set of stamps from K. Andrew Designs.  You can click on the image below to purchase this great set of stamps. I can tell that I will be using this one a lot!  Remember that all of these stamps are made in the USA and that at least $1 from each set is donated to charity.  They are so versatile.  I have found it is fun to mix and match the sayings.  There are soooo many things you could make from this one simple set! Now on to the project.  I really like the way this one turned out. Inside of the card I hope you enjoy the video to see the steps I took to make this cute card.  Thanks for watching and have a great day! ...
