Technique Tuesday......

Rub-On's & Card....
Today's card is a great card for that special someone who deserves a card

but you don't have allot of time to spend making a card!

This card measures 4x11 inches and scored@ 3 & 8.

I placed a white piece of Card stock measuring 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 on the inside.

Fold it up and tie your ribbon to keep it shut!

and there you have a cute card for someone special!

Card Recipe

Stamp Set: One of a Kind (Pg 116)

Card Stock: Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Hawaii Papaya

Ink: Tangerine Tango

Accessories: Anchored Rub-On's, Tangerine Tango Ribbon,

Scalloped Circle Punch, Scalloped Edge Punch

On a personal note:

I am so sorry I have been MIA,

my son Mac had pneumonia and was home sick for 2 weeks from school.
Then we moved which took allot longer then planned. We had no help

moving so we did it all by our selves! Moving from a 4 bedroom house to a three bedroom apartment is a little hard! And now the kids are home for Thanksgiving Break

and Madeline & Myles are sick!

Myles and Madeline have a bad cough, running a temp and feeling yucky!

so finding the time to Stamp has been a little difficult!

I can't wait til everybody is well again!

I hope everyone has a Great Thanksgiving!!

Rubber Hugs, Melissa

Merry Christmas....

in a very strange color combination!

So Tangerine Tango & Kiwi Kiss are an odd combination

for a Christmas Card!

but I thought I would give it a try!

I am tired of HALLOWEEN already and need to change it up a bit!

Here is a cute card I came up with for a Stamp N Stack

I am going to have in NOVEMBER!

I hope you will enjoy and try

a strange color combination yourself!

It's pretty COOL....

My hubby said that's it Madeline make a booklet of

Happy Halloween!!

OK not today but it feels like it in my craft studio....

I have been in my studio all morning working on some

Halloween Treats & Cards!

I ordered the NEW Ghostly Greeting DSPaper and I love it!

I made this cute Treat Box and got the Idea & Tutorial at this

BLOG

Confessions of a Ribbon Addict

It's a super easy box to make, so go visit and make one for yourself!

I put candy corn in a cello bag and it fit's perfect in the box!

I used the Chills & Thrills Rubon's on my card!

Because I don't have a lot of Halloween Stamps and not allot of money to

spend on stamps, I figured the Rubon's would work GREAT!

I have a Craft Fair this Saturday and will be selling these boxes and

the Frankenstein Boxes for $5...

Great Gifts for Teachers, friends, Neighbors & Co-Workers

New Stampin' Up! Paper...from BROWN!!!
I got a visit from Brown today!!!
I was so excited, I was actually napping when he showed up, my daughter
Madeline opened the box and woke me up with
a hand full of Stampin' Up! Paper & Ribbon!
So I made this card to match my Box I made a few days ago...
I got the idea from Angie over at Stampin' Academy
I enjoy her video tutorials
so much it's the first BLOG at look at each morning!

I used her Blessing Box Tutorial but add a Scalloped Handle

to my box to make it a little BAG!

I took a 2 1/2 inch x 8 1/2 inch piece of Chocolate Chip Card stock

and then used my Scallop Edge Punch along both sides to make my handle.

I used my Jumbo Eyelets & Crop a Dile to secure my handle.

I also used my New DSPaper Hawaii Papaya, Tangerine Tango Card stock and matching

ribbon on my Birthday card.

Times have been very hard for my family in the last few months.
Jason is Manager Of The Internet Department at Toyota, so
with the economy so up n down he has not been making allot of money$!!
So we needed to rethink the way we live. We have decided to move to
an Apartment, to save money on Rent and Utilities.
So we are moving from a 4 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom Apartment.
The kids are excited but I am sad to leave my house!
So we off to another adventure....MOVING!!
So I have not been able to order anything out of the New Stampin' Up!
Catalog since money has been tight.
I did get to order $50 in SU product, mostly paper, Rub On's & Ribbon!
UPS will visit me tomorrow!! YEAH!!!
I have a few SU Stamps that would work for Halloween!
So here's a card I made this morning....
using Loads Of Love Stamp Set.

I don't have the Big Shot......My upline let me use her Big Shot at our
last meeting. So I have been using it as my template!
And it WORKS!! Just til I can order my Big Shot!
