Cordlan's Birthday Card

Here's the card I created for my Grandson.  I used the same idea from Stamping School that I did previously, just different front. 

The front of the card is Botanical  Gazette DSP (from the Occasions Mini Catalog that's only good until April 30).  I used the For You Flower and Fancy Flower Extra-Large Punch and 2-1/2" Circle Punch.  For the sentiment inside I used the Sale-A-Bration Set So Happy for You (sorry it's no longer available unless they happen to put it in the 2011/12 catalog.  The Z-Fold Base is Baja Breeze CS (sure glad they brought that color back).  I added a little bow made from Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon.  Cordlan sent a text message that he loved the card!  Yeah!!!

Owl Punch

This new owl punch is so much fun! I used Crumb Cake CS for the card base and a piece of Early Espresso CS ran through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and ran a piece of the Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon around it and then layered my little Owl on top. Isn't he just the cutest?

I took a picture of the little 3 x 3 card and the punch so you could see what I used! Hope you like it. Happy Stampin' ~ Julia

Stationery Box

I got the directions for this from Splitcoast Stampers (Jackie Topa)... it was a lot of work but I was really happy with the way it turned out. Hope you like it too.... (box, two 4-1/4x5-1/2" cards, two 3x3 cards five tags and the notebook & pen....

I used Tangerine Tango Ink, Old Olive CS, Pumpkin Pie CS and Greenhouse Gala DSP. Some of the items will not be available until July 1st, but that's a short time from now. The flower is one we made at Patty Bennett's Luv2Stamp Group Meeting. If you have any questions on any of the other supplies I used, just send me a note and I'll be glad to share (Bobnjul@pacbell.net). The box has room for the 4-1/4x5-1/2" cards, 3x3 cards, Tags and the little slot next to the book is for you postage stamps. It was a lot of fun to create and it'd be a great gift for a "friend". Happy Stampin', Julia
