Thank you's

I had a bunch more thank you notes I needed to make and send out and I did not have a lot of time, so this is what I came up with. I love this new pocket silhouettes set! I used the rock n roll technique with pink pirouette and close to cocoa. I also used my new rectangle nesties which finally arrived!!! And my birds and swirls CB folder. I also used some of my chocolate satin ribbon, boy is that stuff super!! Definitely a quick and easy layout to "mass produce"

Today is the last day for stamp something's cherry inspiration challenge, so pop on over to check out how to win some blog candy and see the DT's amazing samples!!

Stamp Something Challenge

It's Friday, so it's time for another Stamp Something challenge!! This week 's challenge is hosted by Melissa. She had a fun cherry tote bag as an inspiration piece.
I used the bag layout as the layout for my card along with the 3 main colors.
Isn't this stamp so adorable?? It's another whiff of joy stamp. I didn't fully color her in to keep with the colors from the bag, but I did give her some sparkles on her wings.
The top 3 sections of whisper white are embossed with my birds adn swirls CB folder. The lower section is swiss dots.

Whiff of Joy!!

Well here is my first Whiff of Joy card!! Isn't this image the cutest!!! I received this from my fellow stamping blogger and friend Katharina. Not only is Katharina amazingly talented, she is also the mastermind behind whiff of joy stamps, so check out her blog and her store to see what she and her fantastic DT created. Thank You Katharina!!

For the base of the card I used sahara sand. I then ran my baja blue through my CB with the snowflake folder. I sponged the image in baja blue then coverd the snowballs and ground with stickles. I also got to use my new baja striped ribbon and some hodgepodge! The sentiment is from short and sweet.

Stamp Something Friday

It's Friday already so it's time for another Stamp Something Challenge. This week the super talented Alex is hosting the challenge. She chose the theme of fall somethings...anything that reminds you of fall.

Normally when I need to make a fall card I reach for loads of love, there's just something about that truck!!! But this time I decided to ink up the new SU set, seasonal icons (it's a level 3 hostess set). I used the baby wipe technique with so saffron, old olive and red riding hood reinkers to make the leaves. I punch them out with my 1in circle punch and layered on a 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle. I ran a portion of the saffron layer through my CB using the foldre birds and swirls. It's a bit tricky to see in the photo but the stip is about 1 1/2in wide. I then, in honor of Alex, broke out my jumbo eyelets. And added some cranberry crisp stitched ribbon since I'm still waiting for my riding hood ribbon. Not a bad match.

I'm still working on my sale list, I have loads of stuff!!! So keep checking back!

Oh and don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's samples, they rock!

Thank you notes

I had to make a bunch of thank you notes to mail out to some friends and family. So this is what I came up with. Between the scallop edge punch and the fresh cut notes, this card came together in no time at all!! I stamped the large stamp from fresh cuts in close to cocoa on pink pirouette. Then added a pink and cocoa flower I punched from the spring bouquet punch with a silver brad, tied on some chocolate poly twill. And that was pretty much it! Both sides of the inside of the card are lined with pink pirouette. I wrote out the cards before photographing or I would have photoed the inside as well, it looks cute:)

Remember today's the last day to enter Stamp Something's back to school challenge to be entered for some yummy blog candy!!!

School Somethings and big stamp sale!!!!

Today over at Stamp Something, we are getting ready for back to school! So the challenge this week is to create something that is school related!! How Fun!!! Pop over to check out the DT samples, WOW WOW WOW.



The lighting in the photo is a little off, but I was having trouble getting the detail to show in brighter light.
Anyway I used baja breeze cardstock as the based and stamped the flannel plaid backgound in baja breeze on it. I used my CB and tiny bubbles on the pacific point layer. To make he jagged edge on the whisper white I used decorative scissors; I wanted to use my scallop edge punch but it seemed a little girly. I then added celery grosgrain and blue square eyelets.
This little guy is colored in with watercolor wonder crayons and my aquapainters.
Finally I used my 2 square punches then the sentiment from AYC 1. I omitted the "new" part of the sentiment and added "school" using rough edges alphabet in celery. It is popped up on a dimensional.
