March Madness

March Madness is really living up to it's name this year. Several of the "best" teams were out after the first round and even more have left the party during the second. My favorite team was one of those but that didn't stop me from making a card inspired by our team colors. The colors are Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Hello Honey with Basic Black accents. Now I should have grabbed the 3/8" Stitched Basic Black ribbon but you can die the Whisper White Satin Ribbon Black. I added a few star sequins because the college athletics are stars in their field. The stamp set is from the Sale-a-bration  set Perfect Pairings. I also used the Big Shot and the Project Life Die Set to cut out the sentiment. This card can also be used for a graduation card or for a special occasion. Be sure and check out Donna's card too.

 

Focus on Ribbon

Today the team is focusing on Ribbon and I decided to use both the Whisper White Satin Ribbon and Sequin Trim in Blushing Bride. Other supplies include: Blushing Bride Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Whisper White Embossing Powder, Whisper White Craft Ink, Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack, Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies, White Perfect Accents, and the Free Botanicals for You Stamp Set.

 

 

Favorite DSP

Today the team is sharing their current favorite Designer Series Paper and I picked the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. Now you might be saying to yourself that it is a Valentine's day paper but it really is all about love and that should be something we share everyday. I paired it with the Honeycomb Happiness Sale-a-bration Stamp Set and Blushing Bride Card Stock. I also used Crumb Cake and the Happy Hearts Embossing Folder. As an added bonus the Embossing Folder went on sale today for one of the Weekly Deals.  I am hoping this card lifts the spirits of the recipient and puts a smile on their face.

Boys Birthday Card

In a house full of boys you can never have to many Birthday cards and today I thought I would make one with a favorite set that I haven't used in a while. The stamp set is Boys will be Boys which is very true. For colors I went with primary ones and used Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. Other supplies include the Oval Framelits, Aquapainter, Washi Tape Punch and Zig Zag Embossing Folder. 

Love Bug

February is here and I am thinking about Valentine's Day. With a daughter that has a bug I just couldn't resist buying the Beautiful Ride Stamp Set. It has so many options for cards and this little bug is headed off to a special Valentine. I used Blush Blossom and Bermuda Bay to water color the car after I embossed it with White Embossing Powder. The love bug is stamped with Basic Black Ink and then to add just a bit of extra accent I added the Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine and Blush Blossom Sequin Trim. Hopefully this little Bug will help brighten the day of a special someone.

 

 

Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites is one of my favorites too because I love to see what the other designers are using and what they consider their favorite item. For this card it was tough to decide my favorite. I finally decided the new Party Punch Pack is but it is because it goes so well with the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Pack or then there is the Confetti Textured Impression Embossing Folder. The stamp set is from the Sale-a-bration set Perfect Pairings and can be yours free when you purchase $50. The colors for the card are taken straight from the Designer Series Paper Stack. Quick and Easy with only a bit of stamping. Just what I have time for right now. :-) Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.

Quick and Easy

Today I am sharing a quick and each card for you. It is my Grandma's 86th Birthday card. The card just has a couple of colors and a few stamps and while it looks complicated with the texture and the cutout it really only took a couple of quick turns of the Big Shot. Supplies used were: Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Deco Label Collection Framelits, White Craft Ink, White Embossing Powder, Soft Sky Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Lost Lagoon Ink Pad, Crazy About You Stamp Set, and Remembering Your Birthday Stamp Set.

 

Thank You

Hello! I haven't been stamping much but a new year is bringing new plans and a fresh start at stamping and blogging. Today the team is sharing Thank you cards and mine is perfect for a Christmas thank you. I wanted something wintery looking and the Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky are a cool combo. I paired it with the Holly Jolly Greeting Stamp Set and the Another Thank you Stamp Set. You might be saying that the Holly Jolly Greeting Stamp Set is set to be unavailable soon but that isn't the case. Stampin'Up! has decided to carry them forward and you can still order this fun set after January 4. I used the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder and I cut the Thank you out with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits. I added just a bit of 1/8" Silver Ribbon. I hope enjoy today card and that you stop by again. The next card I post will be quick and easy. Until then Happy New Year!!!
