I Heart hearts

Good morning! This is my daughter's birthday invitation this year. I hadn't started it as an invitation but thought the colors and friend stamp were perfect for her invites so I added the "you're invited" stamp (non-SU)and they were done! The colors used are Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Lucky Limeade,and Wisteria Wonder. The DSP is from the Hostess set Cheerful Treat. The friend stamp is one of my favorite from the I Heart hearts set. I also ran the bashful blue cardstock thru my Bigshot using the polka dot embossing folder. I got the general idea off the Stampin Connection website.

Aren't these penguins adorable??? I am going to use the Melon Mambo one for my daughter's thank you cards and I sent the Bermuda Bay (retired SU color)one to my little nephew for his birthday. I cut out the whisper white cardstock with the top note die on my Big Shot and then used several different punches to make the rest of the penguin.

This is the final card from my last class. I wanted something simple and elegant looking that could be used for any occasion. I used the colors Elegant Eggplant and Wild Wasabi - love this combo! I used markers to ink the stamp - not something I do very often because it takes so much time but I love how it looks on this flower stamp from the set Just Believe. I don't think you can really see it in the photo but I used Crystal Effects on the flower petals to add some dimension and give it a lacquered look. The card was finished off with Elegant Eggplant 1/2 inch scallop dots ribbon.

January card class #4

Good afternoon. Here is another card from my last card class. This was CASe'd right out of the Stampin' Success magazine. I used a stamp set from last years Sale-a-bration catalog - Bliss. The colors used on the card are Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, and Early Espresso. The DSP is from the SAB catalog and is a great set of paper. The ribbon and butterfly brad are also from the SAB catalog. The sentiment is from my favorite set Teeny Tiny Wishes.

January Card Class #3

Good evening. Here is another card from my recent class. This card took a little time to make as everyone had to stamp and then punch out each heart. I used the colors Baja Breeze, Real Red, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. The stamp is from the I hear hearts stamp set. We used some of the white bakers twine to go around the edges of the card. This idea came from the Idea book and catalog.

Stamp class #2

Hello everyone! Here is the second card we recently did at a card class. I used the stamp set Outlined Occasions from the SAB catalog as well as the heart stamp from the Take it to Heart set in the Occasions Mini. I love this card because it is a great one for Valentine's Day or you could use it for your anniversary. The Pretty in Pink patterned paper is from the Subtles Collection Patterns DSP Stack. I colored in the Love with a marker and then added 2 small rhinestone. I got this idea off Stampin' Connection.

January Card Class #1

Hello! It has been quite awhile since I last posted - things were crazy over the holidays and I have finally gotten back to stamping. I held a class last week and this was one of the cards. It features the Everyday Enchantment DSP out of the Sale-a-bration catalog. I paired it with the gorgeous Pool Party cardstock and ribbon. The flower is from a new set out of the Occasions mini called Mixed Bunch and I stamped that on Poppy Parade. The card was finished off with a pearl in the center of the flower as well as a strip of pearls underneath the greeting. I CASED this card off of Stampin' Connection website. Thanks for looking!
