Shelby's B-Day Card 2009

Another Birthday! We have a lot of them this month. Bob's oldest Daughter and her two girls, his youngest Daughter plus my Sis' and a couple of friends! This one is for our Granddaughter Shelby ~ she lives in New Hampshire. I used the Just Buzzin' By Stamp Set, Basic Black CS and Crushed Curry CS and Pens for coloring. Circle punches and the Scallop Circle Punch. This is a diarama card, it has clear window sheet in the circle to make it look like a window. Hope she likes it! :o)

Top Note Box

I made this cute little Top Note Box and used the little horse and Santa Sleigh stamp from the Stamp Set; Yuletide Christmas that Judy gave me (thanks so much Sis')..stamped with Soft Suede Stamp Pad. I used Christmas Cocoa DSP to cover cardboard (I used the backing that comes with the long die cuts for packing), cut one edge so it would be straight and attached to the front and back of the little pizza box I made with Soft Suede CS and used the Small Oval Punch to punch out the stamped image and layered onto a piece of Soft Suede CS punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. I used Wide Double Stitched Blue Grosgrain Ribbon around the box and tied into a bow. The tutorial came from Splitcoast Stampers.

Stair Step Card

Been to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts Blog again ~ Nov. 9th ... check it out! Here's my try at a stair step card, hope you like it. I used Crushed Curry CS and Basic Black, along with the dotted paper which is from the Night and Day DSP. I used Black Stazon Ink with the Sporting Stamp Set. Circle Punches including the Scallop Circle Punch and the MVP was punched out with the Curly Label Punch and sponged with Crushed Curry and Black Stazon Ink. The striped ribbon is the 1 1/4" Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. The cute little soccer player is my Grandson Johnny.

Bird House Looking Box!

I made this little box using Night and Day Designer Series Paper to cover the little box made with Bermuda Bay CS base. I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the rim of the lid. The circle hole is rimmed with the same paper punched with the Scallop Edge Circle Punch and punched again with the 1 1/4" Circle to make a frame around the window. The window has Clear Window Sheet covering he hole. I used one of the Crystal Brads from the Pretties Kit after punching out one of the flowers from the paper putting it on the top of the lid. The ribbon is Bermuda Bay White Dotted Ribbon laced through the lid.

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.

Dasher Merry Christmas

Here's that little Dasher again! I stamed it on Whisper White and embossed with VersaMark and Silver Embossing Powder. Layered onto Earth Elements CS and Brushed Silver CS (I didn't have any Brushed Silver CS so had to order but sweet Judy game me a sheet today while I'm waiting, what an awesome Twin I have ~ thanks Judy)..I used a little of the Striped Grosgrain Red Ribbon and a card base of Whisper White. Hope you like it?
