Grandson Birthday Card

I made a Birthday Card for my step-Grandson.  Hope he likes it?  I saw a barrell made with the Hardwood Stamp, thought I'd try and create one.  Couldn't find it again to CASE!

I used Soft Suede CS for the base and Baja Breeze run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  The Hardwood Stamp Set on Crumb Cake for the barrel.  The flowers were punched with the Petite Petals Punch and I stamped some of the flowers using the matching Petite Petals Stamp Set.  I also punched some using Watercolor Wonder DSP along with some other scraps of floral DSP I found in my drawer. A little sponging and some Candy Dots for the centers.  I used the Envelope Liner Framelit to cut some of the Watercolor Wonder DSP for the inside flap of the envelope.

Fresh Apples ~ Happy Birthday

I love this little pick-up.  I saw a card that Dawn did on her blog  Dawn's Stamping Thoughts  and used that as my idea for making this one.  Her's is done with a little darker colors and different ribbon, but basically they're the same.  I used Countryside for the pick-up truck, stamped with Staz-On Black Ink and colored with colored pencils using the blender pen.  The card base is Soft Suede and then I ran the next layer of Crumb Cake through the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  I layered the little truck on another piece of Soft Suede, punched the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch and sponged with Soft Suede Ink.  The Happy Birthday is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set stamped in Soft Suede on Water Color Paper.  The Brads are from Glimmer Basics Set.  I used some Victorian Ribbon and the newspaper looking layer is from Newsprint DSP.  I punched the Happy Birthday with the Word Window Punch, sponged it with Soft Suede and layered onto Soft Suede Paper punched from the Modern Label Punch.

A lady at my work sent me a picture of her Grandson. This is the card I made as a thank you to her for sharing her little bundle of love!

I used my digital STUDIO for the background and added a few embellishments. The "In My Thoughts 24***7" is from the Hodgepodge Happiness Stamp Set. I punched it with the 3/4" Circle Punch and mounted it onto the heart with a deminsional. I used a brad from the Filigree set in the center of the Baby Blue ribbon. I punched the bottom with the Scallop Trim Border punch. I ran some Soft Suede CS through the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder and used the snail to mount it to the back and then all of it onto Pumpkin Pie CS and then a card base of Soft Suede CS. I added 3 little rhinestones from the Jewels Basic Rhinestone pack. Hope she likes her card?

just for you Kitty!

How cute is this little guy. I made the flower using Cindee Wilkinson's instructions on Just Sponge It. Judy told me about it and I couldn't wait to try one. I had made this card and it needed a little somethin' so the flower was perfect to finish it off! The card base is River Rock CS, then a layer of Soft Suede. The printed layers are from Elegant Soiree DSP. I used Paper Crimper for the River Rock across the bottom and ran a strip of Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon across the upper center. The flower is Baja Breeze CS and I ran that through the Square Lattice Impressions Folder. I used one of the 5/8" neutral brads for the center. The just for you is from the Just Believe Stamp Set. Sorry but the little kitty's whiskers kinda look like they got burned off! Poor little guy?? His belly is full of the new Pretzel M&M's, so he's happy! I added google eyes and his tail is punched with the 2-Step Bird Punch and then snipping off all but the last leaf.

Little Garden Pump & Wooden Barrel

I love this stamp from the Countryside Stamp Set. I did a little 3x3 card and colored with color pencils using the blender pen (which I'm lovin')....background card base is Crumb Cake CS layered with Basic Black CS and then Soft Suede CS layer ran through the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I used the new 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and sponged the outside with Soft Suede Ink and punched little holes around the circle and punched with the retired Horizontal Slot Punch and put some of the new 5/8" Victoria Ribbon.

Ghiradelli Treat Box

Hi Stampers:

I craft-lifted this from Kay Sha's site .. Creations on Paper ~ the only difference is her instructions for scoring the box should have been 2/4/6/8 ~ everything else was perfect. I used Soft Suede CS, Real Red CS & coloring pen, 4 You is from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set. I used paper from the printed Bashful Blue DSP and the Bright Blue CS is from Bold Brights Pack of CS. I used the Ticket Corner Punch, the new Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit along with the Tab Punch and Slot Punch for the handle.
