Jack of All Trades

Here's another swap. I still have one more to show you tomorrow. I guess I'm a little addicted to swapping. I really love swapping with my friends over on Stampin' Addicts. I have never been disappointed with my swaps from those ladies! This was for the WOW swap again. The pumpkins were stamped using the baby wipe technique. To do this you take a baby wipe and place drops of re-inkers and then use that as your ink pad. I added a few spritz of Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz too. It is hard to see but you can see the shimmer in real life. The Rich Razzleberry "brads" aren't brads at all. I didn't have enough to I created my own. These are actually 1/8" circles of cardstock with Crystal Effects over them.

Abi's Thank You's

In May, my oldest daughter, Abi, was confirmed. We had a big party to celebrate! She received lots of gifts and needed to send out "Thank you's" for them. She really wanted something with butterflies so this is what I came up with. I used Stampin' Up!'s Butterfly Prints to make this card.

Stamps: Butterfly Prints, Short & Sweet

Ink: Basic Gray, Pretty in Pink

Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Accessories: Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo re-inkers, baby wipe, butterfly punch, rhinestone, dimensional

The buttflies were made by using the technique called baby wipe re-inker ink pad. It's really quite easy but lots of fun! Take a baby wipe and place it on a paper plate. I like to fold my baby wipe into quarters. The place drops of your re-inkers onto the baby wipe. This is now your ink pad! One thing to keep in mind is that the colors will start to run together after a short time and this "ink pad" will dry out fast!

Happy Stampin'!
