Another Birthday....

Here's the card I made for my Brother-in-law, his B-day is this Sunday. He's my twin's hubby and what a great guy ~ he has made Judy and I so much cool stuff to store our stamping supplies.

I used the new Perfect Punches Stamp set for the happy birthday, Sense of Time for the clock face and Kraft (or what will be Crumb Cake) CS for the base, Night of Navy ran through the Square Latice Embossing Folder. The edges were sponged with the new Early Espresso Classic Ink and the happy birthday was stamped with Marina Mist Classic Ink. I added a couple of little brads to the clock face and mounted it and the happy birthday with dimensionals.

Best wishes for a GREAT year Mike! Love ya, Julia

Father's Day

Hi All ~

Hubby loved his Father's Day card yesterday. I used some of the new in-colors, I'm lovin' the blues this time. The backing layer is Marina Mist CS layered onto Not Quite Navy (embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder) and then Kraft CS soon to be Crumb Cake CS. The label was done with the Matchbox Bigz Die and the BBQ guy is from the stamp set called King of the Grill (that set also included the Happy Father's Day that I punched out with the Word Window Punch). I used my stamp pads and Aqua Painter to color the BBQ guy inside the circle. We played golf and had an early dinner with my daughter .... the day was awesome. Hope all your Father's Days were good.

Hugs,

Julia

Tricycle Journey

Here's my card using the new Pedaling Past Stamp Set.


I used the new embossing folder from the Summer Mini called Square Lattice and punched with the Scallop Circle in Real Red CS. Also used the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder on the Kraft CS and the Ticket Corner Punch and layered onto Basic Black CS. I mounted the tricycle, which I colored with Stampin' UP! Watercolor Pencils and punched with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch(after sponging the edges with Soft Suede Ink), onto the Red Scallop and then a layer of Black Wide Striped Ribbon. Enjoy the Journey from the Pedaling Past Stamp Set was punched with the Word Window Punch, sponged the edges with Soft Suede Ink and layered onto the Modern Label that had been run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Enjoy the journey!

This new stamp set that is coming out in the summer mini catalog is so cute! Here's my first card with the Pedaling Past Stamp Set. Reminds me of my childhood days and how we always had the bikes with the extension on the back so we could "pump" somebody home from school!





I used Kraft CS (will have a new name soon) for the card base. I then ran a piece of 4 1/4" x 5" Soft Suede CS through the Big Shot with the Big Dots Embossing Folder (love that one). Colored the bicycle with Stampin' UP! colored pencils stamped with StazOn Black Ink Pad on Whisper White CS using the Top Note Die for the Whisper White and Real Red. I sponged the edges with Soft Suede Ink. I layered it onto Real Red CS and added the Enjoy the journey! stamped with Soft Suede and punched out with the Word Window Punch and layered onto a piece of Real Red CS punched with the Modern Label Punch and mounted with dimensionals with Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon under it. I rounded the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch.
