Party Day Birthday

Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by to see what I have to share today. My card today was inspired by this one that Jennifer Shults posted on the Verve Stamps blog earlier this week.

Here's Jennifer's card that I used for my inspiration.

And here's my card. I loved all the layers that she had along with the chalkboard look.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend. Happy Stamping!

Birthday Wishes

Today's card has a little bit of everything, a border die and frame die with matching stamp from Papertrey Ink, heart dies from Clear and Simple Stamps, a sentiment stamp from Lil' Inker Designs, papers from Crate Paper, ribbon flower from American Crafts, leaf die from Spellbinders and some gemstones from Michael's. I really like the way all of these different elements came together on this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you're having a great weekend. Happy Stamping!

Trust with your Heart

Are you familiar with Unity's Stamp of the Week offering? This card uses the stamp from Week 3. I paired it with a variety of papers from Crate Paper's Random collection and a heart die from Clear and Simple Stamps. 

For my second card, I used papers from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two "Blush" collection, some vintage lace, bakers twine and Petite type alphabet stickers from Authentique. Apparently I was channeling Yoda when I made the second card and got the idea to change up the message.

That's it from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you're having a great week. Happy Stamping!

Butterfly Kisses

Today's card features the Butterfly Kisses stamp set from The Craft's Meow. The papers are from Emma's Shoppe collection by Crate Paper with a card base of Kraft from Papertrey Ink. The girl was stamped on PTI Rustic Cream cardstock, fussy cut and then mounted to the card with foam dimensionals. The doily is from a bunch that I picked up at an estate sale.

Thanks so much for stopping. I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. Happy Stamping!

Wishing you a Happy New Year

Well, I hope 2012 is off to a good start for all of you. I'd like to start the year off by sharing one last Christmas project and also a couple of New Year's cards.

First is the Christmas tag and bag that I put together for my office assistant. I used a variety of papers from the October Afternoon Good Cheer collection and letter stickers from October Afternoon's Detours collection to spell out Hayden's name on the tag. I also added a die cut/embossed snowflake from Cuttlebug with a button center. For the finishing touch I added a couple of small jingle bells and some twine from The Twinery.

The bag is just a brown paper lunch bag that I added strips of paper to the bottom to dress it up. I used my cropodile to punch a couple of holes in the top of the bag and threaded some twine through the holes to close the bag and tie on the tag.

Next, I have a couple of New Year's cards using the fun Happy New Year set from The Crafts Meow and papers from the Crate Paper Portrait collection. The first card also uses some Tim Holtz tissue tape, twine, gemstone and is mounted on a purple card base.

 The second card uses a little lace and stone colored twine along with a button die cut using the MFT Button dies. I die cut the button from PTI Rustic White cardstock and colored it with a Copic (C7).

Thanks so much for stopping by. Wishing you all a Happy New Year and Happy Stamping!
