Masculine Birthday

This is going to be my masculine birthday cards for March.  I got the BG paper at Tuesday Morning for $2.99 for a package of 25 12"x12" sheets!  These cards were very quick and easy.  I used a retired stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. called "Take the Time & Father's Day".  The sentiment if from "Bitty Birthday" by SU.

Stamps:  Take the Time & Father's Day, Bitty Birthday

Peaceful Petals Floral Thank You

I love this new set called "Peaceful Petals" by Stampin' Up!  I stamped the image then colored it with my copics.  The embossing folder is a new one my DH gave me for Christmas.  It's the 8 1/2" x 11" embossing folder for my ebosser.  I can't remember the name of it, but I love being able to emboss an 8" x 11" piece of paper all at once, then I can just cut it down to 4" x 5 1/4" and have 4 pieces of embossed paper!   Quick, fast, easy, fun!

For some reason I'm really enjoying using monochromatic colors lately, and this card is no exception.  Here's all the details:

Stamps:  Peaceful Petals
Paper:  Whisper White, Gumball Green, Pistachio Pudding
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black, Gumball Green
Misc:  Spectrum Noir Pens, embossing folder

I hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Z Fold Card and Video Tutorial

I just love these cards!!!  I made them in the following colors:  Wisteria Wonder, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party & Real Red.  I made 25 of the Wisteria Wonder ones yesterday.  I'm going to use them for my swap cards at a Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! get together at the beginning of March.  I'm going to make 25 more in Pistachio Pudding.  I used the hostess stamp set "Simply Sketched" for the top 3 cards, and the real red card has an added butterfly from "Papillion Potpourri".  I used the SU embossing folder called Perfect Polka Dots and the Scallop Trim Border punch.  The sentiment on the front is cut from the small oval and scalloped oval punches.   Here's the video on how I made the card:  (sorry, but at the end of the video you will hear Winnie barking.  She refuses to come all the way up to my stamping room because the steps have oak risers rather than carpet and she's afraid she'll slip....silly little dog!)

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you'll give this wonderful card a try!

Happy Stamping!

3 Flowers

I was playing around with my new stamp set "Petite Petals" by SU with the matching punch.  I used a butterfly embossing folder on the left hand side and bottom, and stamped 3 flowers on the top right hand side.  I popped up one of the flowers with a pop dot and added small pearls in the center of each flower.  I added the happed birthday sentiment as a last thought.  I may make some more of these today in different color combinations. 

I'm going to a SU get together in March and I've been working on my swap cards.  I really like how they're turning out.  I made 25 yesterday.  I want to make some more today.  And I want to make a video tutorial.  I think I'm going to be busy on my day off from work!  LOL

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Wedding Flowers

I made this card this morning for today's Featured Stamper challenge on SCS.  I am going to use it for one of my clients who is getting married in a couple of weeks.  I had fun punching out the "Petite Petals" flowers by SU using the matching stamp set and punch.  The greenery is stamped using the "Little Branches" stamp set by Gina K.   The sentiment is from the same Gina K set.

Stamps:  Petite Petals (SU), Little Branches (Gina K)
Paper:  Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Pistachio Pudding, Pink Passion

Oriental Flower Swap Cards

We're having a swap over on Speedy TV and these are the cards I made for the swap.  The April theme is "flowers" and since it's an oriental swap set, I just had to use the Japanese cherry blossoms image and some fan background paper. 

Here's the free stamp set you will receive if you participate in the swap




Here's a link to the swap site

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend.  I have to work today, but we don't open until 11am.  I have to take Winnie to the groomer before I go to work.  Great, she gets groomed and we have a foot of snow on the ground!  Doesn't make a lot of sense, huh?

Happy Stamping!

Easy Floral Thank You Note

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Birdie Birthday

Isn't this little bird the cutest thing?  It's from the stamp set "Party On" by Gina K.  The happy birthday sentiment is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" by Stampin' Up.  It's hard to tell in the photo, but the embossing folder I used says "happy birthday" all over it. 

Stamps:  Party On, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black, Raspberry Ripple

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Floral Thank You

This is another card I made over the weekend.  For the background, I stamped off twice before stamping the image because the Strawberry Slush ink is so vibrant.  I wanted a softer look for the background.  The stamp set is "Love and Prayers" by Gina K, and the sentiment if from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" by SU.  I liked these so much I made 4 of them.

Stamps:  Love & Prayers by Gina K, Teeny Tiny Wishes by SU
