I participated in a one-to-one State swap with one of the ladies at VC Rocks and I wanted to stick with a Texas Theme since I'm from -- you guessed it -- TEXAS! I saw almost this identical card on Pinterest, which led me to this blog post by Mary Bush. I tweaked my version of her card just a little and the little 3D gifts I stayed with the same theme. Unfortunately, I had to use some retired product to keep within the theme I wanted, but I'm okay with that!
The little note key ring is made with index cards and the miniature coffee cup, which was all the rage last year, was purchased from webrestaurantstore.com.
To get the look on the embossed section of the card and the front of the key ring I took Crumb Cake Classic Ink directly to my embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot.

Hi Friends! I just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know that I am moving my daughter into her college dorm this weekend. I do have a post scheduled while I'm gone and will be back week after next with some new projects. This mama needs some time to adjust :) Thanks for your patience!
I absolutely love this new stamp set from the 2015-2016 Idea Book and Catalog. It is simply gorgeous and the color combinations are endless. This is what people are calling the corner flip or corner fold card. I watched a video on YouTube to learn how and it's super easy to do (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFtaS2ZL5F8). I really, really like how it turned out. I did add a border on one and not the other. I know my favorite. What's yours?

While I haven't been posting in a long time, I have been stamping and participating in swaps. This swap utilized the Mojo Monday Sketch 399 as my inspiration. I wanted to showcase the new 2015-2017 In Colors and the fun Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set Sprinkles of Life. For every Sprinkles of Life set purchased, Stampin' Up! will donate $3.00 to RMHC!!! This set is super cute and so versatile! And the icing on the cake is that there is a coordinating punch!
Any time I use a colored card base, I like to place a white panel on the inside for a message from the giver and I always want it to coordinate with the card front. While this is not my favorite card ever, I'm okay with it and I think it's cute.

Hard to believe it's been nearly 3 years since I've posted. A lot has been going on in my life. Job changes, kids growing up - my first born leaves for college in 6 days, leaving Stampin' Up! for awhile and rejoining. That's how life goes, though, isn't it!
Today, I am going to share a card that I made for a swap over at VC Rocks. I saw the card online somewhere, but cannot for the life of me find it again, so if this is your creation, thank you!
