Another father's day card

Hello! Here is a card I made using the new Dictionary background stamp (Clear 130351, Wood 130348). And what's pretty cool about SU's background stamps is that you can now choose either clear mount or wood mount!

For this card, I went with greens and browns and the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (Clear 127802, Wood 128748).

And another favorite of mine... banners :) I had the ladies cut out three different sized banners and on the Whisper White banner, that is where they stamped the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Thank you

Hello!! Here is a clean and simple thank you card for you guys today. I am a HUGE fan of SU's background stamps and when I saw this one... I knew I just HAD to get it, so of course, I added it to my shopping cart right away :) Plus, I was a big fan of the First Edition Specialty DSP that just retired and this is a way for me to ease into letting it go.

I love the SU punches and I really do like the idea of different shapes of punches. The new Hexagon punch (130919) is a great addition to my collection. It's so much fun to just stack them randomly to create different looks.

I added the "thank you" sentiment on a banner that is peaking out from under one of the hexagon shapes. I used the Express Yourself Hostess stamp set (Clear 130339, Wood 130336). This is quickly becoming one of my go-to hostess stamp sets for sentiments. There are so many different messages that you can use on your projects!

Curly Cute Thank You

Hello! Here is a thank you card that I made awhile back. My husband asked me to make one for him to give to someone, but I liked it so much, I kept it for myself and made him another one. 

For this card, I used Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake for the color scheme. I also used the En Français background stamp (109521). I love the look that it gives to cards. The 'THANK YOU' sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set (Clear 120510, Wood 117014). 

To add some dimension to the card, I added some Pearl Basic Jewels (119247). These embellishments always add that extra special little touch to cards or projects.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Babies fill your heart with happy

Hello! Today I'd like to share another card from my monthly stamping class. This is a card for any occasion for babies and the ladies now have a card for any such occasion on hand. I was excited to use a background stamp and new I just had to use the Distressed Dots background stamp (122815). I love the look of it :)

To add some texture to the card we used the little hearts folder from the Adorning Accents Folders (125601) which I thought would be really cute with this card. To get all the ovals, we used one of the framelits from the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies and the Extra-Large Oval punch (119859). Oh and we also used the oval folder from the Designer Frames Folders (123130).

The "babies fill your heart with happy" stamp is from the Cuddles & Kisses stamp set (Clear 127314, Wood 127312). We also used the Small Heart punch (117193) and added a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel (129324).

Enjoy the rest of your day and thanks for stopping by!

All Dressed Up Birthday

Hello everyone! Here is the birthday card that I made for my friend Marita. I just got the All Dressed Up Bundle (Clear 131095, Wood 131096) and knew that I wanted to use it to make her card. I've also seen these dresses all over the blog-iverse and I couldn't wait to play around with it. hehe.

I also got to use the En Français background stamp (109521), which is one of my faves! To make the dress form and dress, I used the Dress Up Framelits Dies (130101) and some of the lovely Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (129311). After putting the dress on top of the dress form, I added some Calypso Coral 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon (122976) and a trimmed up flower from the Vanilla 5/8" Flower Trim (126869).

Behind the dress form and dress, I added one of the Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399). To add some texture, I crumpled it up and I also made it a little bit smaller than it's original size. The "happy birthday" sentiment is from the Wishes Your Way stamp set (Clear 129156, Wood 129153).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

Thanks So Much project

Hey everyone! Here's another Stamp Camp card for you today. Isn't it so cute? My fellow demo and friend Niki demo-ed this card. I love the color combo with the Crumb Cake and Calypso Coral. And this card has really inspired me to get the Distressed Dots Background Stamp (122815)!

I like the use of the Tea Lace Paper Doily (129399) on this card, too. And the layering of all the different pieces adds to the elegance.

And look at the single flower from the Vanilla 5/8" Flower Trim (126869), the Natural 7/16" Trim Ribbon (129287) and the cute little safety pin from the Vintage Trinkets set (118764). Who knew that these embellishments would look so cute together?!?!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

Happy Anniversary

Hey everyone. Today is an extra special day and an oh so very happy one because 5 years ago today, I married my true love, my soul mate, my husband. I am extremely blessed to have Ben by my side on this lovely journey that people call married life. I know, I know, mushy central! hehehe. Can't help it! I so HEART that guy :) And it is true, time does fly when you're having fun because sometimes I can't believe that 5 years has flown by already! And here's to many, many, many, many more Anniversaries to come :D

And here is the anniversary card that I made for Ben. Of course, I went with our wedding colors and theme. Blue, Ivory, Silver and Butterflies :) Can I just say that my husband is amazing because bless him for putting up with my butterfly obsession since we included them in EVERYTHING! hehehe.

I finally got to use the En Français background stamp (109521) and I actually bought it so that I could use it for this year's anniversary card. It's just so pretty and romantic to me. And the angel's wings and heart is from the Affection Collection stamp set (Clear 127949, Wood 127946) from the Holiday Catalog. I punched out a silver heart with the Small Heart punch (17193) and added a Large Pearl Basic Jewel (125577). Oh and behind the small butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507) is that pretty scallop burst, which is also from the Affection Collection stamp set.

I also used the larger butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die and I added a glimmery 5 on top of the butterfly. I used the new Typeset Alphabet Bigz die (127553) and used Silver Glimmer paper (124005) to cut out the number.

The 'Happy Anniversary' sentiment is from the Memorable Moments stamp set (Clear 126682, Wood 126680). I also sponged all over the card because well, I like the look of sponging :) I also added another strip of Midnight Muse behind the Very Vanilla and used the Scallop Edge Border punch (119882) to add a little border.
 

And of course, I had to add something on the inside of the card, too. Yup, went all out for this guy ;) Glimmer paper, background stamp, big shot action, punches, a large pearl, butterflies and sponging! Oh and did you notice that the angel's wings with the heart was actually cut out with scissors? Yes, I used scissors to cut something out!! Now that's love ;) And you know, to me, Ben is the World's Greatest husband :) Which is why I bought the World’s Greatest stamp (126270) just for this card. The 'HUSBAND' sentiment is from the Family Reunion stamp set (Clear 122712, Wood 122710).

Phew, that was a little novel wasn't it? haha. I guess I had a lot to say for this very special occasion :)

And this is what I have to say to my lovely husband..... I LOVE YOU, happy FIVE YEAR anniversary and THANK YOU for filling my heart and my life with so much happiness XOXOXOXOXO

Have a great day everyone, enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by :)

black and white just for you

Hello and Happy Friday! Here is a lovely black and white card from Niki's "Black and White Class". Isn't it so pretty? I love the butterflies! and I love her classes! Check out her October schedule here.

We got to play with Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507), the Scallop Trim Border punch (118402), the Boho Blossoms punch (119858), some Antique Brads (117273) and some Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim ribbon (118481).

The 'just for you' sentiment is from one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets - Teeny Tiny wishes (Clear 127802, Wood 115370). And not sure if you can see it since it's very subtle, but we also used the En Français background stamp (109521). I finally got it myself! It's been on my wish list FOREVER!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day :)
