I {Heart} Hearts and The Bachelorette (hee hee)

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me today! The card I'm sharing today is made with the I {Heart} Hearts Stamp set. This is one set I can definitely say I am glad to own! I have used it so many ways!

The base card is actually a retired color (so sad). It is Lovely Lilac. Along with this card I used Rich Razzleberry Textured Cardstock, So Saffron, and Whisper White. The hearts were stamped with (left to right) So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry, Chocolate Chip, and Lovely Lilac (retired as well). The "love you" greeting is from the set "Short and Sweet". I just love these greetings because they are the perfect match of short and sweet...(hence the name!)

Ok Ladies, I gotta go get ready to watch The Bachelorette! It's "The Guys Tell All" night! Leave me a comment about who you think Ali will pick. Chris L. or Roberto???? Who Will It BE???

Oh well, guess we have to wait a whole other week to find out! :)

Hope you like this card today! Enjoy!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin!

2-Color Card

Hi everyone! Today's card is a simple 2-color card. Very easy and only uses 2 colors! Who doesn't like a simple card? You could absolutely make this identical card with any other 2 colors you love! My base card is Crumb Cake(#120953) and the other layer is Baja Breeze (#111352). I used my brand NEW Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (#120175) on the first layer. I put a Crumb Cake strip layered with a Baja Breeze strip on the front near the bottom. I stamped the image from the stamp set Pocket Silhouettes (#111672). I stamped full ink on the first stamp and "stamped off" on each side of the first image then I punched it out using the 1-3/4" Cirlce Punch (#119850). "Because I Care" is one of the greetings from the Level 1 Hostess Stamp set "Because I Care".

There you have it! A simple 2-color card! Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

My First Saturday Sketch from Stamping 411

Guess what? Two cards today and a little something new! I found this sketch at Stamping 411 and decided to make a card! This was a fun sketch because it was easy and when I saw it I knew I wanted to use my new "Party This Way" stamp set (wood: #118744 or clear: #120609) from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog!! This is actually the first card I have made with this set. I also used some new products. The cardstock base is Crumb Cake and the front layer is Marina Mist. The balloons I stamped and cut out. They are stamped with Marina Mist, Daffodill Delight, RidingHood Red, and Certainly Celery. The ribbon is the brand new 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Daffodill Delight (#119254). Two of the balloons I popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The cute "happy birthday" greeting is also from the "Party This Way" stamp set. The strings from the balloons are hand drawn.

Sorry about the quality of this picture. It was taken on my cell phone.

I hope you like this card! Please leave a comment and sign up to follow my blog!

Hello Owl

Hi there. Just wanted to share this simple card with you. I'm not sure that I like these colors together...still not used to it. I used So Saffron as my base card. Chocolate Chip for the front panel. The circles are Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake an and punched with the 1 1/4" circle punch. I stamped the owl in Chocolate Chip and punched him out with the 1" circle punch. "Hello" is from the Fundamental Phrases stamp set. The cute little owl comes from the stamp set Animal Stories. I used the Spiral Border Punch along the edge of the Chocolate Chip piece for an added effect.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

Season of Friendship for Fall

Happy Friday! I just love Friday's even when I'm out for summer break. Not sure why... I guess it's just because the weekend is around the corner and my hubby is home with me! Anyway...I wanted to share this card with you today. My base card is More mustard. I used the new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (#120175) on Old Olive Cardstock. The tree is from Seasons of Frienship (#111776) and is stamped with Early Espresso Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. I stamped the tree first then tore it out and sponged the edges of the torn paper. The buttons are actually retired buttons that I'm trying to use up, but Stampin' Up's New Designer Buttons in Brights (#119747) or Regals (#119744) would work perfectly! I tied some Hemp Twine (#100982) around the base if the tree, tied a simple knot in the front, and snipped the ends. The greeting "FOR YOU" comes from the Fundamental Phrases Stamp Set (#114968). I just love that set because it has EVERY kind of greeting you would need! The edges of the card and the Old Olive embossed cardstock were punched with the 3/16" Corner Small Punch (#119871). I popped the Old Olive piece up on Stampin' Dimensionals because the Hemp Twine lays behind it. I hope you like this card. There are SO many possibilities with this tree!

Enjoy! Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

Because I Care "Early Espresso Style"

Welp, we are back from our vacation! We had a great time at the lake fishing, tubing, napping, reading and eating (ha ha) but I am glad to be back home.

I am posting this card today that uses the Because I Care Stamp set. I am very happy with this card. I used Early Espresso, More Mustard, and Very Vanilla. The squares are punched from the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punches. I used a retired More Mustard Button in the center. The flower is stamped with the Early Espresso Ink. I didn't add a greeting only because I think this card is a great "anytime" card because it is sweet and simple with a touch of class. I added the flower to the inside of the card and I love the way it turned out! I hope you like this card! Enjoy!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!

Happy Friday! Well, my vacation trip will begin tomorrow. I've been getting ready around the house so that when I leave, there will be less to do when I get back....or at least that's the idea. We have rented a lake house on Lake Keowee and will be staying there for a week. I'm excited and I'm ready for some true relaxation on the water!

The project I want to show you today is a little note card box I made using the Envelope Die for the Big Shot. I cut out two envelopes and made two panels for the sides. I used Chocolate Chip cardstock and the  Greenhouse Gala DSP from the New 2010-2011 Idea book & Catalog! Two of the cards are made with Chocolate Chip and two are made with Baja Breeze because they match the DSP. (you could also use Wild Wasabi, Daffodill Delight, or Real Red since they are all colors within the DSP)  Isn't it just lovely? I made 4 sweet 3x3 notecards to go on the inside, 2-Thank you's, 1-Wish big, and 1-Best Wishes from the Short and Sweet Stamp Set. I also used the Greenhouse Gala DSP on them so they coordinate with the box. I added a Clear Rhinestone Brad to the front for a little "bling" and tied some Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grograin Ribbon into a simple knot around the box.

Here is the box upclose without the notecards.

Here are the 4 - 3x3 Notecards I made to go inside. I also put a coordinating envelope inside the box with each notecard.

This is a project that you can make in ANY color with ANY Designer Paper. I think I'll be making more of these. I just love the versitility! Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!
