Baby Gift

Today was the big day for my super cute godson
Liam, his baptism! I used the now retired, sniff, Wild About You and the Cute as a Bug sets to create Liam's wall hanging. I cut the letters out of Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke cardstock using my Cricut and layered them to look shadowed.

When I saw this super cute box posted on the Stampin' Up! website, I knew I had to try it. This guy uses the Top Note die for the Big Shot, 1" and 1/2" circle punches, rounded tab punch, basic black stampin write marker, certainly celery and lovely lilac cardstock. Thanks for looking!

Guy card

It seems like no matter how experienced the stamper, creating a card for a guy is difficult. For me personally, I find these cards the most challenging type to make. I fell back on the trusty set Lovely as a Tree and Old Olive and Chocolate Chip cardstock. The tree was inked in Creamy Caramel and "thumped" with Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Close to Cocoa markers. I love the multicolored effect thumping adds to an image. Hope this helps someone looking to make the perfect card for the special guy.

Post convention party swaps

Becky created this really cool card using the Dasher stamp and the movers and shapers die with the curly label insert. I just love the dasher stamp, what a versatile stamp and it's less than $10!









Heidi uses another under $10 stamp, Little Boo, with some of the Cast-A-Spell designer series paper to create a super cute Halloween card. It's hard to believe Halloween is just around the corner! Summer has really flown by this year.









Angie used the new background stamp Medallion as the focal point for this card. She stamped on the back of the vellum cardstock with the in color Soft Suede and finished off the card with Dusty Durango polka dot ribbon. As always, the cards from this swap are awesome!! I will post more another day, my computer may just explode if I try to do more tonight! Thanks for looking!

New Catalog Swap

This is the swap I came up with for our post-convention party this coming Monday. I was inspired by this card and changed the layout to work with what I had on hand. Supplies: Dusty Durango and Soft Suede cardstock and ink, modern label punch, word window punch, little leaves sizzlit, flower daisies #2 die, perfect details texturz plate and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. Once we swap I'll post some of the other sistas cards. Check out the Simply Sweet Sistas blog on the left for their convention experiences. They had an awesome time and I can't wait to hear everything they learned come Monday! Thanks for looking.

Sample Wedding Invitation

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to create a sample wedding invitation. The bride's color is lavender. Here's what I came up with after much internet searching for ideas. The colors are Lavender Lace and Old Olive. I used Fifth Ave Floral and Ever After stamps sets with the eyelet border punch. Thanks for looking!

Convention swap

Here is the swap I made for convention. Even though I am unable to go, darn job, some of my stamping sistas have graciously offered to take swaps for those of us left behind. I cased this card from Splitcoast, thanks for the idea! I used the new in colors Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzelberry, which I think is my new favorite color! Off to go put in my pre-order from the Holiday Mini! I can't wait to get my hands on those cool new products. Have a great night!
