Hubby's Father's Day Card

Here's the card I created for my hubby for tomorrow.  I think he'll like it, he's such a wonderful husband and Dad to my daughter and Grandpa to my grandson.

I got the idea from our Luv2Stamp Group Challenge this month.  The card I scoped for the idea was from Barbara Hebert at Barbara Jean Designs.  I used the pick-up stamp from Countryside Stamp Set and the outline is our new Framelits ~ Apothecarty Accents.  The Happy Father's Day is from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set.  The card base is Midnight Muse and the ink that's sponged on the cutout is also Midnight Muse.  I sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip. The next layer is Crumb Cake that I ran through the Stripes Embossing Folder.  I died the Large Pearls with a Sharpie.

Hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day!

Granddaughter Birthday Card

Today is my hubby's Granddaughter's Birthday.  She lives in Arizona. Here's the card I made that he sent to her.

I used Regal Rose CS for the base of the card.  I ran a piece of Pink Pirouette CS through the Stripes Embossing Folder and a piece of Spice Cake DSP for the background on the bottom.  I used some of the Blushing Bride Satin Pleated Ribbon.  Bring on the cake is from the Bring On The Cake Stamp Set.  I punched it out with the Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch and mounted in the center.  I colored some of the Clear Rhinestones with a pink Sharpie (it's permanent ink so doesn't rub off the rhinestones once it dries).  The top I stamped using the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set with Early Espresso Ink and cutting with the Framelits Die.  More sponging with Early Espresso around the edges and a clear Rhinestone on the little flower in the center. 

Hope Melinda has a wonderful Birthday and she gets her card in the mail.  Happy Birthday sweetie!

Another Wedding Surprise for Tina!

I also made a little candy box for Tina using the idea from our UPLINE Meeting with Patty Bennett last month.  Cindee Wilkinson (Just Sponge It) showed us how to do this altered matchbox and candy favor.

The little candies are stamped with the new It's a Wrap Occasions Stamp Set and go around a little candy bar without actually gluing to the candy wrapper. I put the glue on the inside and wrap the other end so they are lose from the actual candy bar (we learned at our meeting that Hershey's has a rule against gluing directly over their trademark).  I used the new Stripes Embossing Folder for the lid and the label that punches out with the Matchbox.  Again, used Tina and John's colors of Black/White and Rust (aka Cajun Craze in my stamp room!).
I embossed around the label with some Whisper White Ink.
