Birthday cards

Here are 2 new birthday cards using the Celebrations DSP and the Create a cupcake stamp set and punch. I CASE'd these from Gwen Webb - check out her blog at www.stampingwithgwen.blogspot.com - she's got great ideas.

Friend card

Good afternoon everyone - hope you are enjoying the weekend.

The color scheme for this card is Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight. I used the I heart Hearts set on page 46 of the catalog and I ran the Daffodil card stock through the Big Shot using the Finial Press embossing folder. Hope you like it!

Polka dot card

This is my new favorite card - I love it because it looks great in many different color combos. I gave a set of these as thank you cards for a friends baby shower today. They look great no matter what sentiment you put on them. I just punched out several different sized circles, adhered them to a top note die cut with my Big Shot, then ran the top note through the Big shot again with the square lattice embossing folder. I then tied 1/8 taffeta ribbon and added a sentiment punched out with the word window punch which was then adhered to card stock punched with the modern label punch. Cute!! Colors used on this card were wild wasabi, pretty in pink, and early espresso.

Thanks for being a friend

Here is a cute card I made yesterday using the owl punch - it was only my second time using it - I need to use it more often! I think he is adorable on a card. I cased this card off Stampin Connection. I love the greeting - it is from the Summer Mini catalog that is out right now. The set is called Happy Greetings on page 26 - very versatile! I also used the Square Lattice embossing folder with my Big Shot on the white card stock. I added a flower brad to finish the card off.

Happy Birthday Cards

Hi all - been a few weeks since I've posted or had the opportunity to make any new cards - crazy busy with baseball/softball. Here is a card I CASE'd from Heidi Boos at stuckonstampin.blogspot.com - you should check out the cards on her blog - cute!
For the first one I used Poppy Parade as the base color. The DSP is Sunny Garden and the squares were punched out using the scallop square punch. I then put a cute flower brad in the corner of one of the squares. The squares are also popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used Tempting Turquoise as the base for this second card. The DSP is Pawsitively Prints II - this is a great set of paper. Sorry the photo didn't turn out better - it sort of washes out the color.

Sunday

Good evening! What a beautiful day here in Oregon - so nice to see the sun for a change! I love this new card that I CASE'd from Sarah Wills - you should check out her blog at sarahsinkspot.com - she makes amazing cards and offers tons of free tutorials. I love anything with the decorative label punch - and this was a fun way to use it. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Springtime Vintage and the stamp sets are teeny tiny wishes and the new 4 Frames set that we got a sneek peek of and will be in the new 2011- 2012 Idea Book and Catalog that will come out July 1. I hope you like it.
