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.

A Birthday Card

My oldest Step-daughter is having a Birthday tomorrow, here's the card I created for my hubby and I to send to her.....

I used Melon Mambo for the base and also punched a scallop circle  and another piece for the center using the Scallop Edge Punch.  The Happy BirthDAY is from the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set and I used Melon Mambo Ink to stamp it and punched with a 1 3/8" Circle Punch.  The ribbon is Whisper White Grosgrain Stitched and a piece of Pink Pirouette Taffeta Ribbon for the bow. The background piece is Very Vanilla ran through the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Hope she gets it in time, we mailed it a couple days ago!

November Birthdays Begin!

Our family has so many birthdays in November (well at least Bob's side)...and add one from mine and it's at least a weekly thing...

Here's the first for this month for Wendy ~ we miss those East Coast kids, how could they be getting this old already, thought that was our age???

I love the layering on this card, I've made them previously and originally got the idea from Gloria Plunkett who did a long-distance trade with one at our Luv 2 Stamp Group Meeting.  I used Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade stamp pads with the Creative Elements & Bring on the Cake Stamp Sets.  The base is Melon Mambo CS and the images were stamped on Very Vanilla CS.  The inside sentiment is computer generated.  Birthday Wishes was stamped with Staz-On Black Ink.

Hope she has an awesome Birthday and doesn't check my blog ~ her Dad just mailed it yesterday and takes a few days to get to New Hapshire!  LOL!!!  That's okay Wendy, they always look even better in person so you still have something to look forward to~

Grad Card

My sweet friend BeBe was graduating from Sac State last week-end.  This is the card I created for her special day!

 I used the Melon Mambo CS for the base of the card.  Mixed Bunch Stamp Set using Melon Mambo Ink Pad to stamp the flower and punched it out with the Blossom Punch.  The background paper is from Mocha Morning DSP pack.  The Congrats is from Tagtastic Stamp Set and I made a little banner out of more Melon Mambo CS.  I punched the Congrats with the Decorative Label Punch and added 3 little Rhinestones.  The inside I created on my computer and cut it out with the Labels Framlits.

Hope she likes it!  Oh yeah, added the little key using Baker's Twine...cute, huh?

Luv-2-Stamp Group Meeting Entry

Here's my entry for this coming week-ends meeting for the Luv-2-Stamp Group. Don't know if any of my group (other than Judy) check my blog ~ but this'll be a "sneak peek" of my trade for Saturday! Hope you like it...

I used stamps from Forest Friends & Well Scripted. Ink is Soft Suede and Melon Mambo. Ribon 1/2" Polka-Dot Grosgrain-Soft Suede, Punches used were the Wide Oval, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" Circle and Scallop Circle. The paper is Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede. I used the embossing folder Elegant Bouquet and used the Shimmer Paint Frost White for the centers of the flowers. I sponged the edges of the punched cut-out images with Soft Suede Ink. I made 35! Hope I get a lot of cool trades. :o)

Another Birthday

Veteran's Day is my oldest Step-Daughter's Birthday, she may not get this in time since she lives in New Hampshire, but ~ it's the thought that counts, right??? I used the Kind & Caring Thoughts Stamp Set and stamped the flower in Melon Mambo, used the matching Melon Mambo Dotted Rippon and Melon Mambo CS along with Chocolate Chip, sponged the edges with Crushed Curry Classic Stamp Pad. Stamped the best wishes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, the Word Window Punch with the Modern Label Punch along with matching punch used in the XL Curly Label Die and used the 2 Scallop Circle Die Cut for the ends/cut one circle in half and used Tea Party DSP.

Drawin' n Stampin'

Well, I saw a card somewhere online and can't remember where, but the one I'm posting tonight reminds me of that card. I used the new Delightful Decorations Stamp Set and cut the top and bottom off the bulb to make the vase. I hand sketched the stems and leaves and used the little flower in the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set. Ink Melon Mambo, Soft Suede & Bermuda Bay along with the Melon Mambo CS, Bermuda Bay CS and Whisper White CS. I used the pearls and flower from the Pretties Kit and punched the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch. Hope you like it!
