My Grandson's Card for 6th Grade Camp

I created a card for my Grandson while he's at 6th Grade Camp next week:

I used a Black card base.  The Raccoon and Trees are from the Life in The Forest Stamp Set and the word "Memories" is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set.  The background is Daffodil Delight CS.  I cut out a moon with the 1" Circle Punch using Tangerine Tango CS.  I stamped the raccoon on Basic Gray CS and added his eyes back in and used a white gel pen to make them show up.  I stamped the trees onto Gumball Green CS and "fussy-cut" them and the raccoon out.  I used a piece of white Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon across a strip of Black CS on the front.  I did a little sponging around the moon.  He leaves in the morning and will be gone all week. I remember my 6th Grade Camp, hope he has as much as I did.  He's so excited!

Halloween 2013

I found these cute little Halloween Treat Bags on Becky Roberts' Inking Idaho site here.  She comes up with the cutest ideas.  I threw a few together to give to my friends at work. 

I used Stampin' UP! Clear Envelopes (102619) for the treats and Halloween Hello Stamp Set.  The first layer is Black CS punched with the Framelits Label Collection and the stripes are from Witches Brew DSP.  A little Pumpkin Pie for one of the circle layers, Silver Glimmer Paper and Black CS punched with the Oval Circle Punch.  Isn't that little witch just so cute.  The banner is cut using Gumball Green CS and stamped with the it's all about the candy! which was also in the Halloween Hello Stamp Set.

Hope everyone had a SAFE and fun Halloween!

Easter-Spring Swap

Yeah, my swaps are done.  Our Luv2Stamp Group has swaps each season.  I participated in the Christmas swap and now the Spring-Easter Swap.  Here's my creation:

These are so much fun to do.  Once you get your idea created it takes no time at all to create the swap squares.  I used in-colors, Gumball Green and Primrose Petals for my design.  I ran the Primrose Petals CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and punched with the 1-1/4" Square Punch . The Gumball Green square was cut using the Scallop Square Punch.  I sponged the edges of the Primrose Petals square with Chocolate Chip Ink.  The little tulip is from the stamp set Cross My Heart.  I inked the flower with Primrose Petals stampin' writer and the stem with Gumball Green stampin' writer.   I punched it with the 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch, sponged the edges with Chocolate Chop ink and attached with a dimensional.  I added a little Rhinestone that was colored with a Sharpie.  Hope everyone likes my trade?

Snowmen Tea Lights

I had a previous post with the first little Snowman I created with instructions from Inking Idaho.  Here are the boxes I made (also created and shared by Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho).

Sorry for the shadow.  I used Gumball Green CS for the boxes.  Rose Red Seam Binding and you can't see the sides of the boxes but they're decorated with paper from the Festival of Prints DSP Pack.  The window is punched with the Fancy Label Punch.

I'm with Becky, too bad you can't leave the lights "on", but the batteries would run down!

Snowman Light

These come out so cute.  I got the instructions from Inking Idaho.  Check it out if you'd like to make some!

You use the litte tea lights that are battery operated.  Add some Gumball Green for the cap, along with Cherry Cobbler CS, use the Large Oval Punch and the Itty Bitty Punch Set Circle a little of the Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim Ribbon for his scarf.  Run the cap through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  For his face I colored some Basic Pearls with a Black Sharpie.  On the backside you punch a scallop circle and use the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Circle to cut out where the on/off switch goes.  SoooOOO cute!

Another Birthday Card

Here's another November birthday card!  I cased this from CardScraps.  It uses the the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set and Cannery Set Framelits. 

The card base is Pool Party CS.  Then Crumb Cake.  The jar is stamped on Vellum CS and cut with the Framelits Cannery Set.  I free-hand cut the grass using Gumball Green CS.  the sentiment is from Up, Up & Away Stamp Set. The ribbon is Primrose Petals Statin Stitched Ribbon. The inside sentiment is computer generated and cut out using Floral Frames Framelit.  I used a strip of DSP and the Champagne Glimmer Paper. I added some flowers to the envelope.

Aurora's B-Day Card

My walkin' partner at work had a birthday on Labor Day.  This is the card I gave her today:

She loves butterflies so I used the new butterfly punch.  The Papillion Portpourri for the stamped images onto in-color CS.  The circles were cut from Polka Dot Parade DSP.  The Happy Birthday was stamped in Gumball Green using the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set.  The card base is Gumball Green CS and then a layer of Basic Black CS.  She loved her card!

I got the inspiration from luv-2-stamp groups'  Barbara Hebert at Barbara Hebert Designs.

Lexi's Birthday Card

My hubby's Great-Granddaughter had a Birthday ~ she lives in Arizona and this is the card I created for her special occasion!

I used Melon Mambo for the Card Base and Gumball Green CS for the inside frame. The frames were cut using Framelits - Labels Collection.  The background layer on the front of the card and flap of the envelope is Summer Smooches DSP.  I stamped the little girl and boy in the wagon using Life shared Stamp.  I added a strip of Satin Stitched Gumball Green Ribbon.  I colored the image with Colored Pencils and used the Blender Pen to fill in.  Hope her Birthday was very special!
