A Very Merry Everything

As a Premium Member of Angie Juda's Chic n Clique I also have access to her Stamp Club Online creations.  She is so awesome!  This is the box she posted, her's was in different colors and DSP but the directions are all the same!  So fun....thanks Angie!

I used Marina Mist CS and Ink Pad.  The stamp and punch to cut it out are from the Merry Everything Bundle.  I used Santa & Co. DSP, Whisper White Organza Ribbon tied with a piece of Silver Bakers Twine.  Some Rhinestones for "bling" on the tag~

Happy Stamping!

Wetlands Card

I saw an idea on Brandy Cox's site here.  I didn't do the same textured background as she did, but the CASE was totally her idea.

I used the Wetlands Stamp Set and Marina Mist CS.  I used the Marina Mist Stamp Pad and a Blender Pen to color the goose.  Such a simple card, but so awesome!  I stamped him on the card and then one on a piece of scrap paper.  Fussy cut him out after coloring and used dimensional to attach to the card.  Some layering, a little Baja Breeze Taffeta Ribbon (now retired -sorry) and viola ~ here it is!

Retirement Card

One of our Supervisor's at work was retiring this week and we had a "going away ~ pot luck" for him.  I made him a card too...and he loved it!

I used Marina Mist CS for the base of the card.  the gold layer I made using the tutorial from last week's Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial on Faux Patina.  Check it out, the tutorial and instructions are very easy to follow.  The stamp set I used was Always Thankful for the can with straw coming out and I used my Stampin' Write markers to color the image before I stamped it.  The congratulations is from the Up in the Air Hostess Set (just the words off the little bird stamp).  I used my paper piercer and guide to punch a pattern in the lower left of the stamped image page.  The Framelits Label Collection for the frames on the inside.  The words for the inside were computer generated.  Some Marina Mist Sponging on the inside and Early Espresso on the outside of the congrats that was stamped on Very Vanilla CS.  Hope Steve has an awesome retirement, he's been a great friend and co-worker, I'll truly miss him.

Easter Basket 2011

My Chicnscratch did a little Easter Basket this morning on Utube.  So cute!  Thanks for sharing Angie.  Here's my version! 

I used the Nursery Suite Specialty DSP for the sides.  The box is Crumb Cake CS, the Scallop Circle is cut from Marina Mist.  I sponged the outside of the White Circle with Marina Mist Ink and the rest with Crumb Cake Ink.  I added three little pearls on the front.  The handle is Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon.  Go to Angie's site and you can watch the Utube tutorial or wait and she'll do another one on her blog.  She's so awesome!  The rabbit is from Forest Friends Stamp Set, love that little guy!  I added a bag of Jordan Almonds in the pastels to look like Easter Eggs!  Hope you like it!
