Team Name "Scraptastic Treasures"

You might not have seen my August posts, welcoming my new down-line, Teri Nelson and Tarina Lafollette. Getting a down-line meant that I had to think of a name for our team.  I had a huge list of possibilities, which included names like Scraptastic Hearts, Scraptastic Creations, Scraptastic Divas, Distressors on the loose, and Have stamps will travel and a whole lot more, but I have finally narrowed it down to one.  I have decided to call my team Scraptastic Treasures.  I received an email from Corporate today, stating that my team name was approved. So it is official.

100th Birthday Card Update.

Yesterday my friend Jean came to pick up the cards that we made for her the other day and she LOVED them.  She thinks that the twins will LOVE them also.  She was so excited to see that we put Roses on them and that we used the new Artiste Cricut Cartridge too.

In-case you didn't get to see the original post, here are the cards again.

I have been working hard these last few weeks on cleaning up my craft room and I almost have it the way I want it.  When I get it done, I will take pictures and share them with you.   I have a few items that I plan on selling on eBay, but I might list them here first.  So if you are interested in some crafting items like Sizzlits Alphabets, Cricut Cartridges, Stamps and Inks, check back often.  I will at least post on here if I decide to sell them on eBay and let you know where to look for them.

Thanks for taking the time to look at  my blog posts.

100th Birthday Cards

A friend called me yesterday and asked me to make 2 cards for a set of Twins turning 100 this weekend.  So I started working on them immediately.  I also recruited the help of my Niece and new Downline Tarina, to help me with this project.  I love both cards and hope Ruth and Ruby do also.

Here are pictures of the cards.

This one is made with Clementine papers and the new CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge.
 Tarina worked very hard on this card, she added Liquid Glass to the 100th so that it would stand out, the Banner and the 100th along with the roses are all made with the Artiste cartridge.  The Stamp sets were Card Chatter- Birthdays D1475 and Playful Flourishes D1212.  Tarina used the new Champagne cs for the base and Saddle and sorbet to back the banner in.  She also used Chocolate grosgrain ribbon and White organdy ribbon.  The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  Tarina added Rhinestones and pearls to the roses.  She distressed all the edges before she put it all together.  I love it.

This card came together nicely for me,  I used the Sonoma papers and the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the card at 5 1/2" then cut the floral at 5 1/4" and the green I cut at 4" then the last scallop circle I cut at 3 1/2".  I cut the Banner and the accent from the Artiste Cartridge at 1 1/4" and the 100 at 1" and the th at  1/2".  The Roses were also from the Artiste cartridge.  The leaves are a McGill punch and the Butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  I added Liquid Glass to the 100th also.  I used  the Word Window punch from SU to Stamp the Happy Birthday from Royal Birth D1441 and SU's Modern Label punch to layer them on.  I put bitty pearls in the centers of the roses and on the butterflies.  I distressed all the edges before I put the card together.

I hope my friend likes the cards as much as I do.
