Here's a couple of tags from a set I made as a gift a little while back. The stamps are from the level 3 hostess set Kind & Caring Thoughts and Animal Stories. I used the new In Colors Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango on the lion. Thanks for looking!

It has been a LONG time since my last post, but I'm back! I needed to focus on studying for my final exam before graduating with a Master's degree in forensic science. Just took the exams today and fingers crossed everything went well. Whew, what a relief to be done!! So now it's time for fun and playing, woo hoo!! Here's a card I made for a girl's baptism. I love the combination of pink and brown for a girl's card. The giraffe is colored using watercolor pencils and a blender pen. Thanks for looking! Sarah
I am going to miss the current in colors once they retire on June 30th. This card was made using Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and Basic Black ink, as well as Tangerine Tango, Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock. You can view the Last Chance List, formerly the Retired List here. The items on this list are going fast, so hurry if you want to order them before they are gone!!
My upline LeeAnn was kind enough to lend me her Itty Bitty Backgrounds and Pocket Silhouettes stamp sets so I could create this card. I used chocolate chip and barely banana cardstock, and chocolate chip, so saffron, summer sun, and more mustard ink. Thanks for looking!
What better birthday card for a one year old than Elmo? I was inspired by this card to try my own Elmo card. It's a very easy card to put together. Using the large scallop circle die for the Big Shot, I folded a piece of real red paper and put the fold just under one side of the circle to make the card base. To make the eyes, use the 1 3/8" circle punch and going gray cardstock, 1 1/4" circle punch and whisper white cardstock, and the 1/2" circle punch and basic black cardstock. The nose is punched out of more mustard using the 1 3/4" circle punch and popped up with dimensionals. Then I cut a 3 1/2" circle in half to make the mouth. Have a great day!
I just love making sets of cards for someone to give as a gift. It's so much fun to see everything come together and know that the person giving the gift is very happy with what I have made. Thanks for looking!
So if I may toot my own horn a bit here, I think these clear envelope brag books turned out pretty well for my first attempt :) These were given as Mother's day gifts and can be easily put in a purse to show off family anytime. The tutorial can be found here.
