Happy 95th take 2!

Well, hi there!

Happy Monday.  I hope you enjoyed the weekend.  

I have the second of two specialty birthday cards for you - if you remember my previous post - this card was created specifically for someone who is turning 95!  Now, that is really something to celebrate.  lol

So, I took the opportunity to use my Balloon Framelits again - they are perfect for a birthday celebration, don't ya think?

I cranked out 3 balloons, 2 in DSP and one in a solid colour, Calyosol Coral.  To the solid ballon, I added an Early Espresso '95', front and center.

This card is similar to the one I created for the latest Stampin' Celebration Challenge.  By the way, if you haven't uploaded your card to the challenge yet, you still have a few more days!  Be sure to check it out.

Anyway, I wanted to show you how different a card can look with simply changing up the colours.  Not much stamping here just the happy birthday message. 

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'

It's Stampin' Celebration Challenge time!

Hello my stampin' friends,


Well, today is the last day of summer vacation and tomorrow is the first day of school for my troops!  I can't believe summer is basically over - they are not at all happy about it! lol

On a happier note, it's time to play along with another Stampin' Celebration Challenge!  Did you join us last time?  We had an awesome sketch.  This time we have a fabulous picture for inspiration!  Be sure to join us, won't you?

Here is our challenge....

 

Beautiful colours was my first thought, then I focused on the circles and poka dots and then I thought of a baby celebration (see the top of the cake).

So here is my card using this challenge....

How did I do?  I just LOVE this colour combo!  The light blues (Pool Party), dark browns (Early Espresso) and the Crumb Cakes, uh, I mean, tans.  lol  Perfect for a new baby or for a birthday celebration.


I used my large Pokadot Embossing folder to give some texture to my background, perfect for the dots in the inspiration. 
I stamped one solid balloon in Pool Party using the Celebrate today stampset and then stamped the dot detail stamp, also in Pool Party. I used the coordinating framelits and my BigShot to cut out the balloons and then I cut a third balloon out of Pool Party DSP. 
My greeting is from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes!  My all time favourite greeting set - it has a stamp for every occasion - even Halloween!  I punched it out using my Word Window punch and then framed it using the Modern Label Punch.

Be sure to submit your creations over at Stampin' Celebration Challenge!  We can't wait to see what you create!!

Stampin Celebration Challenge with Sprinkles of Life!

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by!  Today, I am sharing the card I made for our Challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!  Have you seen the Inspiration?  Perfect for this time of year......summer treats!

Here is the Inspiration picture....

YUMO!  So, I just had to use my Sprinkles of Life stampset for this challenge - a perfect match, wouldn't you say?

When I first saw this picture - the blue, the sprinkles and the cherries were the first things that caught my eye.  Second, was the red and white and chocolate brown.  So, I wanted to incorporate all of these things into my card.  

Here is the card I made...

I can't tell you how much I LOVE this stampset and coordinating punch!  Sprinkles of Life is Stampin'UP!'s charity stampset for the current annual catalogue.....for every set sold, Stampin'UP! donates $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.  It's a win - win.

Be sure to join us for this really fun challenge!  I can't wait to see what you make!

Socer Dad with The Paper Players

Hello there my Stampin' Friends!

So with that in mind and a lot of the mom's that attend my classes are soccer mom's, I thought this would be perfect for them. 

Here is my card.....

The tools I used to make this card are:

Hexagon Hive Framelit

Fringe Scissors

2 3/8 Scalloped Circle Punch

I hope you like my card.  Happy Stampin'

Birthday Teeny Tiny Wishes

Happy Sunday!

Glad you could stop by.  I have a birthday card to share with you today.

I wanted to use my new Balloon Framelits Dies....can you believe I haven't used them yet?  I just popped out a balloon from a scrap of DSP - easy!

I used a retired embossing folder for the clouds and I just simply tore the card stock to get some 'grass'.  I used my Teeny Tiny Wishes for my birthday greeting and punched it out using my Word Window Punch and then framed it with my Scalloped Oval Punch and popped it up on Dimensionals.

Some Bakers Twine on the balloon finishes it off!  

Here is my card.....

Happy Stampin'

Teeny Tiny Wishes Pink Valentine

Hello there!  Thanks for stopping by!

Just a quick post today with a very girly valentine - I just couldn't resist doing something really pink for this one.   I took my color cues from the Designer Series Paper (DSP)...it makes things SO easy!

I started with a basic Whisper White card base and added a layer of Rose Red that matches perfectly to the diamond pattern of the DSP - it is from a retired paper pack.  I cut the white heart using my Heart framelits and used the Full Heart punch to cut the Blushing Bride. 

Here is a picture of my card.....

I dry embossed my Blushing Bride heart with my Adorning Accents embossing folder.  I also used the Word Window punch and the Modern Label punch to frame the Happy Valentine's Day stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes stampset.

And of course a girly card must have some rhinestones!  I just love that they come in different sizes!  I used a larger one on my heart and two smaller ones on either side of my greeting - a perfect way to draw your attention there!

Here is a little closer look at the card. 

Here is the complete list of supplies I used...........

Whisper White Cardstock

Rose Red Cardstock

Blushing Bride Cardstock

Designer Series Paper

White Ribbon

Rhinestones

BigShot

Adorning Accents Embossing Folder

Word Window Punch

Modern Label Punch

Full Heart Punch

Heart Framelits
