Saturday

Here is a simple birthday card I came up with the other day using the clear embossing powder - which I LOVE! This was my first attempt at using it and I was really pleased with the results. I love the tone on tone look - especially on the Pacific Point card stock.

Thursday

Good evening. Another baseball rainout tonight so I decided to put my free time to good use stamping. And what did I decide to stamp? A baseball card of course! I do love the PNW but this rain has just got to stop!!! Both of my kids happen to have green and black uniforms this season so I used handsome hunter (retired color), basic black, and crumb cake for this card. I am going to put them in their rooms tomorrow night after they go to bed to wish them good luck in their games this weekend - it is supposed to be sunny but we'll see about that!

Wednesday

Here are 3 more cards that I made with grab bag pieces. The colors are crumb cake, real red, old olive, and more mustard. For the top card I used a stamp from the level 1 hostess set punch potpourri. For the bottom 2 cards I used stamps from Thanks for Caring out of the Occasions Mini Catalog. Hadn't had the chance to use these great stamps yet so was happy to finally put them to use!!

2 new cards

Good afternoon everyone. My daughter has been home sick the past 2 days so I've had a chance to catch up on some cards. On this first one I finally used the Birthday Bakery hostess set. I used supplies for both of these cards out of a grab bag I just got. The colors are certainly celery, rose red, and tempting turquoise. I also used the color spritzer tool for the background on the celery cardstock but it didn't show up very well in the photo.

This card was created using the Create a Cupcake set that I just love. I spritzed the cupcake top with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz and it really gave the card a special "pop".

Thursday

Hello everyone. Here's 2 new cards I made today. Both were put together using different parts of some grab bags that Stampin' UP! is offering right now. Most of the parts came from a Simply Sent Card Kit from 2009.

I love the color combo of Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Old Olive, and Close to Cocoa.

New Cards

Hi everyone - it has been awhile since I posted anything.....been busy with our new Goldendoodle puppy Champ! It's like having a toddler all over again - I'm exhausted! The first photo is of a baby shower invite and favor boxes I've made for a baby shower for a close family friend. I love early espresso and marina mist together.

The next card is similar to one I did for a class - I've just changed the colors and added a greeting. I'm sending this one in for a "anything goes" swap.

I made this one a few weeks ago while I was visiting my sister in Spokane - I love melon mambo, rich razzleberry,and river rock together.

And this last card is right out of the Idea Book and Catalog from a few years ago. I received most of the supplies in a few different grab bags we've been able to order from SU!.

Spring

Today I wanted to post the cute bunny project we did at my last class. It uses the Fancy Favor box and inside was a cello bag of either m&m's or jelly beans. Isn't it cute?

These next 2 projects were done yesterday at my Mother's Day class. Used the fancy favor box again and put a great Fun Flowers die cut flower on the front. Then we made a couple 3x3 cards to go inside. The little gift cards were right out of the Stampin Success magazine.
