I received this card in a swap from Heather Medford. I just changed the color combo and design a bit. But when you pull the tab out it becomes a bookmark. See below. She is very talented.
Love those filagree brads! Super deal 8 small, 8 large for only $5.95
I received a swap from Charlene at leadership, which was one of my favorite swaps and of course I had to come home and turn it into a Raspberry Tart bouquet. In order to make these you must have the BIG SHOT with the following die cuts: Baskets and Blooms, Large Scallop, 2 scallop die and the ribbon I used was the 1 1/2' pink perk and the kiwi 5/8 grosgrain. I also used mymat pack to punch he holes in the ends of the scallops much faster than the croppy. I got this bucket at Old time Pottery back at Christmas for like $2 bucks!! This would make a great teacher or mothers day gift or great for your desk at work and use your large circle punch and put pictures of the kids and put in the center of the flowers! Definately selling these at my vendor stand at the Nativity Crop in March!
I love to take card fronts and turn them into the focal points of my scrap pages! Why reinvent the wheel when the wheel got alot of WOW's the first time!

Sample page of the inside, I still need to pick out my pictures!you can fill it with candy and makes a cute VDAY gift!
It is 2 top notes with a base card stock and then Dp over it, with a cello bag inside that fits 8 Hershey's nuggets, with Rose Red 7/8' Grosgrain ribbon, the rope twine ribbon from the Holiday min, love that stuff! Then a scallop circle from the 2 scallop die cut, and then I stamped the tic tac toe stamp from "Happy Heart" ( whew! so glad that made it into the catty i love it) and popped it out with the circle scallop punch, then stamped the i love you and punched it out with the arrow punch. That is becoming a fav of mine lately. I found this pattern on a blog and can't for the life of me remember who's. During leadership swap preparation my whole family had the flu right up until the day I left for leadership. So it was all kinda of a blurrrr.....
I cased these from Janet Wakefield's blog and made a bunch of them for swaps and actually got to swap with Janet herself at leadership and show her what I did with her pattern, It was an honor! I put the little packets of the sweethearts in them, too cute! We hung out with some members of Janet's down line( which is HUGE) Jan Shaw and Jennifer Thompson who were awesome!We had the best time dancing and laughing and carrying on during the end of leadership when they were giving out all the prizes. For breakfast every morning, I had to meet them at their hotel, I would have to shlep about 1 1/2 miles down to their hotel where my up line was staying to join all of my sideline for breakfast and get ready to go over to the convention center. Boy, did I ( and everyone else realize how out of shape I was!!) the pouty face and barking dogs probably gave it away too!LOL!
that I heat embossed and decorated the belly band with Baroque Motiff and Together Forever, Always, and Happy Heart stamp sets. 2 scallop die cut and the circles die cuts, with Rose Red 7/8" grosgrain ribbon and the arrow punch again with the I love you. Can you ever save anything and not show it to your husband? Or are you like me the night before trying to come up with something totally original he hasn't seen to surprise him? Or be honest how many of you end up at Hallmark with a singing card. OHHH if those walls could talk, over thousands of dollars in paper crafting materials and a store bought card. AHa hah
without the belly band
My candies I threw together literally walking out the door to leadership!
