Happy Birthday Anyone?

I made several of these so I would have them on hand for birthdays instead of always waiting until the last minute. Also made a couple of them as Get Well cards. Used some of my new Spring catalog goodies. This was designed from a Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch here.

God's Blessing - A Baby

With so many babies being born in our church and friends we know I decided to dedicate today to making some baby cards after being inspired by this layout: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2186199?&cat=22338. Thanks so much.

Top card for little boys uses Baja Breeze and Island Indigo. The little girl card uses Rich Razzleberry and Rose Red. The DSP is from the Floral District package. Added Rich Razzleberry polka dotted ribbon to the pink one. Used the dotted embossing folder and the scallop punch. Other punches used were the Word Window and the Modern Label. Also added a couple of pearls to the pink one after I scanned them.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards and leaving any comments or questions.

A Cup of Thanks

It has been about a month since I posted a card. Was without a scanner for about that long. I made several cards this past weekend and this turned out to be one of my favorites. Was for a thanks swap. Sorry don't remember who I cased it from on SplitCoastStampers. Love that place for ideas because I am stumped most of the time lately and wanted to use this new set I bought this winter. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Happy St. Patty's Day

For the Irish in me and for my latest little stamping group we  made this card and four other to me posted later

Stamps: It's a Wrap Holidays

Paper: Garden Green CS, River Rock CS, Lucky Limeade DSP

Ink: Garden Green

Accessories: SAB Lucky Limeade Ribbon, Rhinestones

I really like the little It's a Wrap Occasions and Holidays because they are so simple and easy to create something with in very little time.

Just for you

 

This is the first valentine card I made today. Pretty plain and simple.

Recipe: CC305 Stamps: Mixed Bunch

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink, DSP Pretty in  Pink and Melon Mambo

Ink: Melon Mambo

Accessories: Blossoms punch, circle punch and rhinestones.

Made another card below after receiving my Stampin' Up Magazine today and reading the "Step It Up" article enclosed. Like the 2nd card much better and decided to enter it in the MOJO228 blog.

Used the same papers but embossed the Pretty in Pink layered on the Cherry Cobbler base.Tilted on an angel the Melon  Mambo DSP. Used only one circle and highlighted all of the pieces with different sized rhinestone and drops of Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Delights. Used some dimensional on the large flower and ran some Certainly Celery lines over the leaf also cut with the blossoms punch. I added Cherry Cobbler Dazzling delights also to the large flower on the v-shapes of each petal and in the center of my small circle.

Let me know what you think of the "stepped up" version.
