Shelby's B-Day Card

I CASED this from Angie Juda at Chic'N Scratch.  It was her June, 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month.  So cute!  She has a video posted there too.  The card is for Bob's Granddaughter in New Hampshire. 

I just love the brightness of the Melon Mambo CS.  The Happy Birthday to You is from the Label Love Stamp Set and punched out with the Artisan Label Punch.  I used Melon Mambo CS and Ink.  The Gingham Garden DSP was used for the flags and for the envelope liner.  The ribbon is white stitched Grograin.  I used the Envelope Liners Framelit to cut out the liner for the inside flap of the envelope. The front of the card was embossed using the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  The inside sentiment was computer generated.

Peace on Earth

This card is CASED from Connie Stewart at Simply Stamping. She has a great tutorial on how to create it, thanks Connie~

The frame is the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder used on Whisper White CS and then sponged with Night of Navy Ink.  The backing for the Peace ON EARTH is Night of Navy CS and the card front is Glossy White CS.  It doesn't show in the picture but it's so shiny.  The background sky is Night of Navy on the top and Marina Mist for the lower sky.  The moon is Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango.  I used the Serene Silhouettes for the bird image and stamped with StazOn Black Ink and outlined some of the branches with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon.  After you sponge the background you can rub off the crayon and it looks like snow that has gathered on the branches.  The Peace On Earth is from Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. 

Embossed Ribbon

Found this cute embossed ribbon technique on Jackie Topa's site ... I didn't have my Fun Flowers Die yet so I used the Daisies #2 Die instead. 

I embossed the ribbon with the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  The edge of the CS was punched with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  The Whisper White top of the card I embossed using the Finial Press Embossing Folder and the bottom Pear Pizzazz CS was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  The ribbon I used was Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon.  The center of the flower is one of the Designer Fabric Sweet Stitches Brads.  The tag is from the new Summer Mini set called Four Frames stamped in Regal Rose with for you stamped in the center and that is part of a stamp (used my Pear Pizzazz Marker to ink up just those words) that says Just for you ~ it's in the hostess set called Afterthoughts.  The leaves were stamped on Pear Pizzazz CS with the same color ink and punched with the Build a Blossom Punch.

Easter Blossoms Girl

Here's a card I saw on Lianne Carper's site Card Scraps, this is my version.  Hope you like it?

Won't be long and the Easter Bunny will be hoppin' down the bunny trail!  I used Springtime Vintage DSP, Soft Suede Ink, Jewelry Tag Medium Punch, Basic Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Antique Brad.  Also the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Baja Breeze CS, Old Olive CS and Very Vanilla CS. 

Happy Stampin' ~ Julia

Happy Easter 2011

I card-lifted this from Card Scraps, check out her site and her wonderful cards.  I used Baja Breeze CS and Seam Binding, Always Artichoke CS, Crumb Cake ink for sponging.  I used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch and Oval Scallop Punches.  I added some Basic Pearls below the Happy Easter from the Easter Blossoms Stamp Set.  The floral paper (love it) is in the package Springtime Vintage DSP.  That bunny will be here before you know it!
