SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT...................

I have always loved this cute little old lady stamp...isn't she the cutest old thing...with her funny looking slippers and aqua color robe with pink...anyways I thought the title was oh so fitting for this stamp...the title stamp comes from a set of Printable from the Cutting Cafe titled SMARTY PANTS BUBBLE WORDS..you can view the entire set here....there are 20 different phrases in the set....I used some old style stampin up paper on this card with a touch of kraft paper...my old and new favorite stuff to add onto cards....The card is a different shape to...short on the front side with the inside showing longer on the right.....

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...................

It surely is...........Recently I released a fun set of FRUIT GREETINGS over at The Cutting Cafe and decided that I wanted a cute little folder to put them in....This folder will hold 6 cards and 6 envelops or you could even put a note pad on one side and some envelopes on the other side...would make an adorable handmade gift....If your cards are heavily embellished, you might not be able to get a full 6 of them in the folder though...I got this YUMMY YUMMY new Making Memories paper the other day and decided to do all of the FRUIT GREETINGS using this paper....Granted Cherries are not blue and Strawberries are not Orange, but don't they look so cute anyways..........*smile.........all of the stems and leaves are colored in with my copics and the body of the fruits are raised on the cards with pattern paper on them....also used LOADS of Basic Grey rubons....I have this thing with putting rubons on the corner of my work...can't get out of the addiction.................Wanta get the CARD FOLDER BELOW FOR FREE?...Click here for details.

HERE IS THE NEW GREETING CARD FOLDER TEMPLATE OVER AT THE CUTTING CAFE. Remember these templates come in the form of a pdf and wpc...With Pdf you print, cut and embellish...with wpc you use your cutter machine...
