Little Girl's Birthday!

This is my last swap from the birthday card swap that I participated in. This one is for a little girl and I chose to use the Build a Bear stamp set. I love the little guy and girl that come in this set! They are just too cute! I love all the texture on this card. The 3 background colors all have been run through the Big Shot with different embossing folders. The bear is watercolored and I'm not the best at that. Still learning how to perfect that technique.

Stamps: Beary Best Friends, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Black Stazon, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Basic Black, Whisper White

Accessories: Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Petals a Plenty, Square 

Lattice and Vintage Wallpaper embossing folders, Boho Blossoms punch, dimensionals

This is one of the cards that we will be creating at Chick & Chocolate: Birthday Bash on Friday, April 13. Call or email today to reserve your spot!

Happy Stampin'!

The 6 P's!

Another of my birthday card swaps. This one is a feminine card. These are much easier for me to create! Abi (my oldest daughter, 14 years old) helped me pick out the colors. When she pulled these out, I admit I was a little befuddled! I really wasn't sure how to use them together.

 Not sure if you can see it but the Perfect Plum is sprayed with Platinum shimmer paint mixed with alcohol. The panel in the middle is Whisper White cardstock that was sponged with Pink Pirouette and Pumpkin Pie before stamping the flowers in Perfect plum.

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Pink Pirouette, Perfect Plum

Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White

Accessories: Large oval punch, scallop oval punch, scallop trim border punch, Whisper White 

grosgrain ribbon, sponges, Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Platinum shimmer paint

As I'm typing this in, I realized that all the colors have PP names! Now that's alliteration for you!

Happy Stampin'

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'!

I had several workshops and online orders in January. I decided to make some Thank you notes for my customers. I made 30 of these and could use several more! What a blessing to have that many orders!
