Happy Birthday Cordlan!

April 8th is my Step-Grandson Cordlan's B-Day ~ hope he likes the card I made (he's one that appreciates my creations!!).

They just got back from a week of snowboarding so I thought this would help him relive some fun memories.

I used the Extreme Snowboard Stamp with Rich Razzleberry CS, Ink and Dotted Ribbon, Bermuda Bay CS, and ran a piece of Thoroughly Modern DSP through the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder. I embossed the Snowboarder with Clear Embossing Powder. I also used Basic Black CS for one of the background layers. The Whisper White and Bermuda Bay CS layers were punched with the Ticket Corner Punch. I also spritzed the Shimmery White CS with Bermuda Bay Ink Pen using the Color Spritzer Tool. Hubby mailed the card today so he should get it by Thursday (I hope).

3 x 3 card ~ cased from Judy!

Here's a little card I cased from Judy today ~ you'd have to see it in person cause she doesn't have a blog .... sorry ~ but mine is pretty close to what her's looked like, in fact ~ I'll post a picture of her's too! Love you Judy!

This one is Judy's and totally cute!

And here is mine. I used the XL Two-Step Bird Punch with Bermuda Bay CS for the bird's body and Melon Mambo CS for the wings. Almost Artichoke CS and Close to Cocoa CS for the branch. I used Soft Suede to sponge the edges and for the sentiment which is from the Short and Sweet Stamp Set. Also Close to Cocoa Grosgrain Ribbon and the Eyelet Border Punch on the bottom of the card backed with Melon Mambo CS and sponged with the Soft Suede.

Thanks for sharing Judy and thank you so much for coming to visit today ~ our day flew by much to fast! (As usual!!!) :o)

Tote-ally Tess is on her way!

Don't you just love this stamp set! It'll be available January 5th in the Occassions Mini Catalog. It's called Tote-ally Tess. Her bag says I (heart) stamps! I used Sweet Pea DSP and Bermuda Bay CS ran through the new Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder. I colored Tess with Stampin' UP! colored pencils. A little Bermuda Bay dotted swiss ribbon and Pink Taffeta Ribbon.

Bird House Looking Box!

I made this little box using Night and Day Designer Series Paper to cover the little box made with Bermuda Bay CS base. I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the rim of the lid. The circle hole is rimmed with the same paper punched with the Scallop Edge Circle Punch and punched again with the 1 1/4" Circle to make a frame around the window. The window has Clear Window Sheet covering he hole. I used one of the Crystal Brads from the Pretties Kit after punching out one of the flowers from the paper putting it on the top of the lid. The ribbon is Bermuda Bay White Dotted Ribbon laced through the lid.
