A gift for my secret Bunny

I participated in a secret bunny swap with my friend Crystal on Facebook. We sent in the answers to some questions she posted, and we were able to add some questions of our own. We answered the questions so that the person sending to us was able to get to know us better. My person had asked for hand made cards, which I was very happy about. She also said her favorite color combo was pink and brown, and blue and brown. I made to items for her, here is the first one. A card portfolio, with matching cards. The outside:
Opened up:

And the cards I included inside.

I used all Stampin Up! for these (except the ribbon used to hold the portfolio closed). I used Pretty in Pink and Soft Suede cardstock, whisper white 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Flight of the Butterfly stamp set, Full of Life stamp set (both are retiring May 30th!! Get them while you can!), All Holidays (retired), and the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. I used the butterfly punch to punch out the butterflies, and added dimensionals to make them pop. There are also some Basic Pearls and Dazzling Diamonds to add some details. Oh and one thing I used on every card, was the Stamp-a-ma-jig. If you don't have one of these, trust me, you need it!!! These were a lot of fun to make, and they will be items I will be making for upcoming craft fairs!

PS it appears I lost 2 of the cards, so I will add them in another post. I don't know how to add it in here without it going in the begining of the post.

Christmas in July Card Club - Serene Snowflakes

Here is the second card we made in July for Card Club. It features the "Serene Snowflakes" (115438) stamp set. We made a stencil with the Ornament punch (119847). The sentiment is from "Four The Holidays" (116921). It features Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy and Basic Grey cardstock and Classic Ink. We also added some Dazzling Diamonds to this card (but not in picture) on the center of the large snowflake.

Join us for Card Club, held the third Friday of every month (except November 2011, when it is the second Friday). Ask me for details!

Christmas In July Card Club - Dasher

Here is two versions of a card we made in July for Card Club. The top one is the original, the second one is the one I made when I demonstrated the card. It features the A la Carte Dasher stamp (116816). The circles are from the Circles #2 (114526) and the Scallop Circle #2 (113469) dies run through the BigShot. The Designer paper is from a retired pack called Holly Jolly (I LOVED this paper! Sad to see it go...). My original version featured brads, and when I demonstrated I showed it without brads so the ladies could choose which they liked. We added some Dazzling Diamonds (102023) to give it some sparkle!
