Birthday Wolf

I LOVE swaps! Especially with my friends over on Stampin' Addicts! I get the best swaps from them! We did another swap for Birthday cards. I signed up for a masculine card (and a few others!). I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I struggle to make masculine cards. I love ribbon and other girly things way too much! This is the card that I created for the swap. Abi helped me pick out the colors. It's pretty simple, it could be used as a workshop card.

Stamps: Nature Silhouettes, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Woodgrain

Ink: Night of Navy, Chocolate Chip

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla

Accessories:  Ticket corner punch, curly label punch, 1/16" handheld punch, silver brads

I will be posting the other birthday cards that I created for this swap over the next couple of days! Stay tuned and 

Happy Stampin!

February Christmas Cards

As I did last year, I joined a group on Stampin' Addicts to help me get my Christmas cards done before they need to be mailed in December! Each month we have committed to making a certain amount of cards so that we have them all done and ready to be mailed come the Christmas season. We do this for 11 months and December we mail/give out all the wonderful creations that we made throughout the year.

Here are my February cards. This is the group picture of the 10 that I made. Last year I made 16 each month and had WAY more than I needed, so I cut back a little bit.

And a close up of one of the cards.

Stamps: Tidings of  Joy, Woodgrain

Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Victoria Crochet trim, Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, 

2-way glue, Dazzling Diamonds, sponges, aqua painter

Just in case you are wondering, I did my cards in January too! I had several cards that were cut and leftover from classes in November and December so I just put them together. You have already seen these cards on previous posts! You can join us with getting your cards done early! Come over to Stampin' Addicts and join in!

Happy Stampin'!

Friendship Tree

This was a card that we created at out last club meeting. I made two different versions of it. The first one I used the Woodgrain background stamp on the card front. I stamped the Woodgrain with Soft Suede ink.

The second card I used the Square Lattice embossing folder for the background and sponged the edges with Cajun Craze ink.

Stamps: Season of Friendship, Woodgrain

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Garden Green, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Soft Suede, Whisper White

Accessories: Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, Decorative Label punch, sponges, Square Lattice embossing folder, Regal brads

Which version do you like? I'm not sure which I like better!

Happy Stampin'!
