SU! Party Cards: A Just Because Post

Hi, friends!  I feel like I haven't written in ages...yes, I know I posted 2 times this morning, but all of my DT posts are scheduled and it has been about 5 days since I got to create!

Speaking of creating, last Thursday I had a Stampin' Up! party...it was a grand success!  So, you'll be seeing lots of the new goodies I've earned FREE here on my blog soon!!!

Before you see things made with those products, though, I wanted to share with you the three cards I made at my party.  We got to just make whatever we wanted using some of the new Sale-a-bration items as well as stamps from the current mini catalog.  SO much fun!

These are what I came up with~

So, the mini punch and stamps were not on my "NEED" list, but they are now!  It's SO fun to get together with friends and just take time to see what comes out of our brains, isn't it?  All three of these took me a grand 10 minutes to make.  I kid you not!  How fun would a whole set of these cards be to give to someone as a gift?!  (PS: all supplies to make these cards are from Stampin' Up!.)

Speaking of gifts, I'd like to thank my newest followers--I can't believe I'm over 300 now!!!  This calls for a celebration...so watch out for some blog candy coming your way SOON!  HUGS to you all, thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping! :)

CCM: Masculine Birthday

Well hi there!  Are you ready for another Crafty Cardmakers challenge?  This time around our hostess, Rebecca, would like to see a masculine birthday card that includes some technology or a gadget. The technology or gadget could be a computer, games console, rocket or car for example.

We are sponsored by~

 DI'S DIGI DOWNLOADS with a $10 GIFT VOUCHER

and

THE STAMPMAN

Here's my card~

Details~ 

I decided to go uber  CAS and do a one layer card as men usually don't like a lot of fuss on their cards.  I've used a simple sentiment by Papertrey Ink and some aliens from the video game "Space Invaders" from a dollar stamp set I picked up a while back for this creation.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!  I hope you come and play along with us for a chance to win a fabulous prize!  Don't forget to go and say hello to the other amazing DT members as well!  Happy stamping! :) 

MMM: Inspired By Nature

Hi, friends!  It's a new week--welcome to another Monday! ;)  This week at Make My Monday, we'd like to see some projects INSPIRED BY NATURE!

Here's my card~

Details~

I've had this stamp from Great Impressions for a while now and have only used it a couple of times.  I adore the image and thought it would lend itself to gorgeous coloring.  I was so proud that my first attempt worked!  I've also used a dry embossing folder from Darice, rhinestones by Prima, and all other supplies are from Stampin' Up!.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!  I do hope you'll join us this week and don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on the DT!  HUGS and happy stamping! :)

Inside left.

I've used an image by our fabulous sponsor, patterned papers by DCVW and Stampin' Up,  pearls by Studio 112, a CD case from I don't know where, a doily from my stash, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.

I wanted to go for something different this week and when I came across a random CD case, I KNEW it was fate!  Thus my gift card holder came to be!  The pocket on the inside is for the gift card and I could even add another card in this.  And the best part?  Already "gift wrapped"!
