February 5, 2010 at 7:12 AM THANK GOODNESS IT'S...
Friday!
{I've got nineteen 8th grade basketball players coming for dinner in ten hours...so this will be brief!}
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Scrapy Land LIVE! studio last night. A great turn out for a cute little card project.
Here is what we made {please excuse the slightly crude joke regarding my card...sometimes my mouth works faster than my brain!}...
Here are a couple of pictures of the project I made ahead of time, and the project I made during the show. I added a few things to the class project this morning...
For the golf card I used: Cookie Cutter Golf Set and the Go-Kreate Rome font {which is out of stock, I'm sorry}.
For the car cards I used: Revolution Convertible, the Rev Journaling Block and the Chicken Noodle font.
Inside I used: Revolution Journaling Quote Block and I did my handwritten sentiments with my fave Black Memory Marker {which is on SALE today!}. And Goldie gets credit for the car card sentiment. She mentioned it in the studio last night - - - CUTE!
Here is a side view of both cards. I just wanted to show you a still shot of how the cards stand up. The journaling block inside the card is what holds the card front on place. But you could also use a die-cut border strip, a ribbon and a knot, or even a couple of small brads {thanks for that idea Phyllis!}. Lots of possibilities, and lots of different ways you could make this work.
I got an email late last night from Katie - who had been working right along with the LIVE! show. She already had a completed card to share with me...
LOVE IT! Rounded corners, handwritten words and just a couple of QK Nesting Hearts! Quick and easy - and totally doable!
Thanks for sharing Katie - keep up the great work!
One final picture to show you - and I haven't even asked her permission yet. But I'll hope that she forgives me {wink, wink}.
I got some mail yesterday, from Sweden. And you just have to love a cute, stamped envelope that has foreign postage on it and a piece of bubble wrap inside.
Bubble wrap? YES...bubble wrap! Because when Veronica makes a birthday card - - - she makes a birthday card!
Meet Superstar Susan Anya! This is one of The Greeting Farm stamps coming super-soon to Scrapy Land...and Veronica's girlfriend let her borrow it. WOWZERS, isn't this a gorgeous card! Perfectly showing how die-cuts and stamps can mix beautifully. QK Lamp Post, QK Heart Speech Bubble, QK 2x2 Brackets and a small QK Nesting Circle.
She's also used some other great supplies on their way to Scrapy Land...Liquid Pearls, Ranger Distress Inks and Mini Misters for the sprayed background.
Throw in some Lime Green Copics for Anya's t-shirt {naturally!} and a Stickles covered scarf...and this card is one for the books. LOVE IT Veronica...thanks for sending me some Sweden-birthday-love! KRAM!
I showed everyone the prizes I will be giving away on Monday. One prize for each day of "Birthday Celebration Week". One comment, per person, on each blog post. And you can only win one prize. Gotta spread the prize-love...it's only fair! So leave your comment on today's post, and be entered for the Friday prize.
Off to order pizzas. Think 12 will be enough for 19 8th graders? LOL
I'm here for your habit...

I think this card technique is one of my favorites! The projects you did are great!
Katie - your card is so darn cute! I love it.
Veronica - what can I say! I love your work. Can come and spend some time with you.
Susan thanks for letting us be part of your Birthday week and you are giving us presents - that just rocks!
Maybe you should go with the Bakers dozen for the pizzas! LOL!
Have a wonderful Birthday Susan.

WOW - that is a cute card to make ! I really like them. And I suppose I have to start stamping too - all those wonderful cute examples ... But all I know about stamping is using my company stamp on a stamp pad and that's it !
But I am ready to learn something new !

Love the design of this card. Very, very cute!! Veronica, Susan's birthday card is awesome. Is that an actual Bingo card???
Katie, your card is darling...
The Golf Card is such a fun idea..love the sentiment! :)

What a beautiful cards! Love Veronica's card. Thanks for showing, Susan.
cute cards and 12 pizzas for 19 8th graders. I seriously don't think that would be enough I have an 8th grader myself and he can eat one all buy hisself. rofl.
I too missed the show :(
I was very excited to see the video after Barb L. described the project. LOVE the golf card. May have to scrap lift this one. Husband is a HUGE golfer!!
Veronica, the BINGO B-Day card is adorable. Again, may be scraplifting :) Great job ladies!!
Great Cards.. really love the designs..!!!!
Thank you ladies.
Love the cards Susan. I have the new golf die and will be making this card for my hubby for V day.
Veronica always does such nice work. Thanks for sharing.

No need to apologize for your "crude" comment, Susan - it was hysterically funny!! My DH heard me laughing from the other side of the house! The triangle card is so easy, yet so impressive, and I love both your examples. Veronica's Bday card for you leaves me speechless! I need to try to add more "stuff" to my projects - they seem pretty bare by comparison! Good luck with the Bball team - I'm with the others, think you'd better get 1 pizza per player!!
I tuned in and loved it all. cards, banter and birthday chat.
So have a lovely birthday Susan and thanks for showing that kayooote card and well, Veronicas is gorgeous! happy days....
LOVE your "pyramid" card, Susan!! Thanks for taping your project card-- if I get stuck, I can play it over & over. Happy Birthday, Scrapyland Susan! Best wishes for another great year. Keep the projects/ideas coming! Thanks!
I told hubby and we both laughed. Great cards Susan and another great show. Thanks Susan! Great Valentine's card and wonderful Birthday card.
oh I forgot to add, have fun with all the kids tonight! I miss stuff like that.
Happy Birthday, Susan! LOVE the pyramid card-- so glad you taped your directions so us slowpokes can rewind to follow the directions!
Thanks for sharing your birthday with us for this week! Best wishes for continued fun from Scrapyland Susan!
Love all the cards! Have fun tonight at the party! And...have a great birthday Susan!!!!
Really enjoyed the class last night. The pyramid card was new to me--and I'm already lovin' it.
Have a wonderful birthday, Susan. And, thanks so much for sharing the love (and loot)!
Cute card idea! I'm hoping with all this snow that's coming do the DC area I'll have a little time in my scrapping room. Hubby can take the 1 and 3 year old out to play, right?!! I'm sure the boys will enjoy all that pizza. Have fun! :) Stefanie
I had to miss BOTH shows this week! But I will get caught up in my 'viewing' tonight! Can't wait to see how the cards go together and try my hand at them.... Thanks to all of you clever and talented ladies for sharing your skills and inspiring us!!
Thank you for showing me a new ,exciting new way to do cards . Working on my pyramid cards today ,got to love snow days . I now have to go buy some new dies .Yes!!
Happy Birthday Susan!!

Hi Susan; love the cards, sorry I missed out on the class. I will have to watch the video at some point. Good luck with all those boys tonight.
Love your beautiful Valentine day card, Katie. I really must get me those nesting hearts.
Thanks girls for the lovely comments.
Karen, you're more than welcome =)
Mary, it is a real Bingo card but I've bought it at a scrap store.
Hey Susan ! Happy Birthday week! Love the cards you made last night on your live show. I am going to have to try and make the valentine's card. I did not think to use the car die the way you did. I just don't think of the snappy sentiments to go with the dies. I like the "you drive my crazy" sentiment. We should have a contest with who can make up the best sentiments for each die you put up. It would make it so much easier to see how to use some of the dies.

Susan Don't you do it! Don't do it please my cc can't handle it if you make me want to do more stamping and using copics pens.
