Happy Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday! I can't believe it is already August. Where did my summer break go? I am NOT ready to start back to school. Guess I'll have to enjoy what little time I have left...I am getting ready to head out this morning and I wanted to post a quick card before I leave. This is a card I made yesterday. I have not used this color combination before but I'm pretty happy with it. The base card is So Saffron stamped with the Sanded background stamp. I cut out a Top Note Die using my Big Shot in Rich Razzleberry. I had to trim some of it off so it would fit on the card. I stamped the cute cupcake stand (from stamp set "Crazy for Cupcakes") using Black Staz-On on Whisper White cardstock and backed it with Old Olive Cardstock. I used these Stampin' Write Markers to color: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, So Saffron, and Crumb Cake for the stand. I used some 1/4" Old Olive Grograin Ribbon and wraped the Whisper White cardstock along the bottom edge. The greeting comes from the stamp set "Fundamental Phrases".
Hope you like this card! Thanks for peeking in today!

Vampire Academy Book Series

Hi everyone! I wanted to do something a little different today. While I have been out for summer break, I have doing A LOT of reading...which is another cherished hobby of mine. I wanted to show you a series of books that I've read that I think are great! I absolutely love the Twilight Saga books and yes I have seen Eclipse (my favorite so far) but these books have become a second favorite. They are Vampire Academy books! There are 5 in the series and if you loved Twilight you will surely like these books too! Let me know if you have read them and what you think about them! If not, and you need something to read...they are great!

Check them out!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow for a card post!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin...and reading!

Saturday Sketch Challenge...YEAH!

It's Saturday and there is a new Sketch Challenge. I am so excited about this one because it is so simple and so sweet! This is a card I could definitely do at a Stamp-a-Stack or workshop that wouldn't take long at all! I had a hard time deciding which stamp set I wanted to use. I finally decided on the "Flight of the Butterfly" stamp set. I am tempted to make lots of cards with lots of different stamp sets using this sketch!

Here is the card I made for this challenge!

Recipe for this card:
Flight of the Butterfly Stamp Set
Short and Sweet Stamp Set
Pretty in Pink Cardstock
Melon Mambo Textured Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock
Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon

Hope you like this card!

You're One of the Good Ones

TGIF! I hope everyone has had a great Friday! I would have posted earlier but it has been a BUSY day! I just got back from Spartanburg with my husband so I haven't had any time to post until now.
This is a simple 2 color card. I used Night of Navy and Very Vanilla. This stamp comes from the stamp set "Smarty Pants". I don't use this stamp set often and to be honest I only bought it for the "Friend, Good. -Frankenstein" quote for my Halloween cards. However, I do like how this card turned out. I used my Stamp-a-Majig to line up the stamp to make it my focal point. I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but I punched out several 1 1/4" Night of Navy circles and adhered them to the background on the card. Maybe if you click on the picture you can see them better.
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy this card!
Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

Stamping 411 Color Challenge #134

I found this challenge today and had to give it a try. When I get in a stamping crunch and can't think of anything to make, Stamping 411 has great challenges and sketches that catch my attention. Here is the latest Color Challenge #134. I pulled out my Always Artichoke (which I rarely use) added some Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla.

I used the new Stamp Set "Friends Never Fade" for the images. Here is what I came up with!

Sorry the picture is a little crooked...not sure what happened (hee hee). I also used some of the new Daffodill Delight Taffeta Ribbon for a little added touch!

Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Here is a very simple card I made the other day using 2 colors. (I am on a 2-color kick right now for some reason..ha ha) Anyway, this card is made with Soft Suede and Cajun Craze! I used the stamp set "Thank You Kindly". The Cajun Craze piece was embossed with the textured plates from Stampin' Up. I used my large oval punch for the main greeting and I stamped it on Textured Soft Suede cardstock for a little something extra. Very simple and very easy!
