Flip Flop Cards

Ideas for Christmas cards

Each year I think I'm going to do just one design and each year I do several.  It would be much easier (and quicker) to stick with my original plan but I want to experiment with lots of different things so I guess I'll never do it the easy way.  I know that some of my cards this year will feature the new thinlits dies.  I have quite a few ideas on pinterest that I'd like to share - the first one here is my halloween card from Fall Festival using the labels thinlit die.

Connie Steward created this cute card with the labels thinlit die

Here are several ideas using the dies. I love that you can play around with the design and choose either landscape or portrait orientation.  Pretty versatile product - and fun to use.

The following is from Patty Bennett's blog and shows how you place the cardstock in the die to make the extended card.  

I hope this gives you some ideas of the new thinlits dies.  If you'd like to order from me, please send me an email ... 2felinefurbabies@gmail.com. 


Thanks for stopping by.

Fall Festival part 2

Fall Festival part two

I promised to be back!!!  I finally got the pictures uploaded from my iphone to the computer.  I used to be able to do it in a flash, but with the new windows 8.1 it took a little experimenting.  Seems the more Microsoft "simplifies" things, the more complicated they become.  That's about all I dare say on that subject - :-p.  I can't wait to show you all the fabulous samples we had on hand last weekend... so let's get started.

There were 6 boards in the display room. Samples and ideas galore.

Lynette made up these fabulous notebooks - love her collage talents!!!

Here are a couple more door prizes.

The 8 cards our guests enjoyed making!

And, finally, some random shots of our successful festival of stamping and creativity!!!

Hope you have enjoyed 'touring' our Fall Festival.  If you're in the Southern California area next year around mid October, plan to join us!!!!  We'll be there!!!

Our Fall Festival

Hi Everyone!  Long time no see?  No apologies - I already know if I'm going to take up space on the internet, I need to post.  Well, one 'I'm sorry' won't kill me.  I hope to do better!!!

Last weekend was such a blast.  It was our annual Fall Festival.  There were 7 of us that put together a fabulous stamping extravaganza for almost 50 guests.  We had 4 make n take tables, 6 tables for cards and 2 demonstrations.  We also found time to eat in there somewhere :-)... yummy tacos with all the sides.  I can't forget to mention that everyone went home with a fabulous door prize, too.   It was a lot of work, admittedly, but worth it to see such happy attendees.

Here's some photos of our day................

We call ourselves the Rubba Sistas and we live near San Diego CA.  Our honorary Rubba Sista, Ruth, was taking the picture.  We are (from left) Gail, Wanda, PK2, Pam, Lynette and me, PK1.

Pat with her adorable make n take witches hat.

Pam showed everyone how to make little pillow boxes out of empty toilet paper rolls.... who knew?

I worked with the guests making a box card embellished with the new bow maker die.  They had their choice of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Christmas theme was the most popular!

Here's our honorary Sista Ruth.  Everyone got to make this darling box with little notecards and envelopes inside.  She showed them, step by step. Wanda demonstrated various uses for the envelope maker - love it.

Pam also made several of these wall hangings using the witches brew designer series paper and had a raffle for them.  Isn't it cute?

Tomorrow I'll be back with pictures of our boards, samples, and the most magnificent display table... awesome!  Be sure and check back.
