Birthday Card

Here's a Birthday Card I created today. Hope you like it! It's a diorama card and I used the Chocolate Chip CS, the new XL Two-Step Bird Punch (lovin' that punch), the background paper is from the Sweet Pea Pack and the stamp set for the Happy Birthday was from Well Scripted and I used the new Whimsical Words for the inside sentiment, both stamped in Always Artichoke and sponged around the edges with So Saffron.

Valentine Creations & a Bird!

Look at all the cute little Valentine Creations I made & a Bird! Love that new punch. The top left is a memo pad holder, I embossed it with the Sizzix Finial Press Folder and then embossed it with VersaMark and Clear Embossing Powder. Added a little flower brad and punched Love You Much birds with the Scallop Circle punch and sponged the edges with Soft Suede Ink. The box on the right was punched using Sending Love DSP and the Bigz Bitty Box and Envelope Die. The heart was punched with the Heart Punch and Sending Love DSP and it too was sponged with Soft Suede Ink. Then a little Silver Elastic Cord. Bottom left is a little Peppermint Patty with Scallop Circle punched for the bottom from Real Red CS and the top I used the Love You Much hugs & kisses stamp and Whisper White CS/Real Red CS and stamped a second time on Whisper White and punched the little heart out with the new little Heart Punch. I put Crystal Effects on the little heart to make it shine. The last little creation with the bird was created with the new Bird Punch and the first layer behind the bird was punched with the Scallop Oval Punch after I ran it through the Big Shot using the new Polka Dot Embossing Folder (one of my most favorite Stampin' UP! products to date) ..a little Not Quite Navy for the larger circle and Bashful Blue CS for the next circle and paper from the new Sweet Pea DSP book of paper (there are so many great prints in that collection). I cut one of the crystal clear sleeves 1" wide and glued with the snail to make the tube for the M&M's. All these projects were so much fun and especially the little note pad because my Twin Sister Judy helped me make that one!

Another decorated mailbox

These are so much fun ~ here's another one I did over the week-end decorated with paper from the new DSP Paper Stack, Sweet Pea. I also used Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Dusty Durango Grosgrain Ribbon, my Scallop Punch on some dark and light green CS and the Eyelet Border Punch with some light green CS. I used the Rich Razzleberry CS punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch and the new Stampin' UP! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and the Extra Large Two-Step Bird, a little more ribbon on the handle of the mailbox flag. This would be a great Mom's Day Gift or for a Birthday with a gift tucked inside the mailbox.

Tote-ally Tess is on her way!

Don't you just love this stamp set! It'll be available January 5th in the Occassions Mini Catalog. It's called Tote-ally Tess. Her bag says I (heart) stamps! I used Sweet Pea DSP and Bermuda Bay CS ran through the new Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder. I colored Tess with Stampin' UP! colored pencils. A little Bermuda Bay dotted swiss ribbon and Pink Taffeta Ribbon.
