and the last day of Hello, the Sale-a-bration stamp set,
Again I used our Whisper White notecards and Washi tape, Funny I used wink of Stella on the happy face and it this picture it looks like a stamped it funny, but trust me in real life, it just perfect. Silver heat embossing adds just that little extra pizzazz.
Happy Stamping,
This card perfect for the guys, little or big. Pacific Point and Crushed Curry certainly make a bright combination. The DSP is from the Cherry on Top DSP stack from the main Idea book & Catalogue and check out the balloon,that my friends, is the new Balloon Bouquet punch that punches out two different sizes, great punch.
Happy Stamping,
and throwing confetti and streamers in the air. Doesn't this paper look like that? It is from the It's My party DSP stack, a beautiful pack of paper, 48 sheets of double sided 12 x 12 for $32.00 The patterns are perfect for birthday cards but there is lots of sheets perfect for everyday cards too.
I stamped this time onto Vellum and heat embossed with our gold embossing powder and then layered it onto a piece of Whisper White so it would really pop off the card. Yes, those are retired gold brads attaching the vellum, but hey, I used to be a hoarder and trying so hard to amend my ways! All the colours on the card are pulled from the paper, little Mint Macaron mat, the Melon Mambo party hat. Fun card don't you think?
Happy Stamping,
We all have someone in our lives that is that ray of sunshine, well send them a card and let them know how much they mean to you. I started this card with our wonderful Whisper White notecards, (20 cards and envelopes for 7.50) they are such a great deal and mail with regular postcard. I used the It's my Party DSP stack and chose the Mint Macaron print then as Stampin' Up! has matching inks and papers everything is perfect. The little sun is stamped with Delightful Dijon and then I used A wink of Stella pen to add some shine.
Happy Stamping,
Hope you allhad a great weekend and didn't get too much bad weather. We are very lucky here, it has been mild and the snow is melting, starting to see the driveway and some grass. And I did get some play time in my room. This week I am using one stamp set, Hello - it is a Sale-a-bration set, which means you can only get it for FREE! I know, the suffering us stampers have to endure!
Now the Hello stamp set is a Limited Time set, only available until February 15th. It is perfect for birthdays and everyday cards.
I love the first card I made, so quick and easy but I think it looks great
I used Whisper White for the card base and the layer stamping the Hello in the middle with Melon Mambo and then the birthday girl in Memento Tuxedo Black. Added a little band top and bottom of It's my Party Washi tape, add the party hat and attach to the card base with dimensionals and it is done. Told you it was easy.
Happy Stamping,
Butterfly Thinlits, just love this die set. I cut the butterfly with our Silver Foil and backed it with our Vellum Card stock. I love this sentiment from Perfect Pennants stamp set and I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with our beautiful Silver embossing powder.
Happy Stamping,
Bay that is! I don't know, maybe a little sunshine and heat would be lovely- we had snow all weekend, very pretty but cold. For todays card, I chose the DSP before deciding what colour to make my flower and I used this lovely little print in Bermuda Bay from the Cherry on Top DSP pack. I stamped the flower and sentiment onto a piece of Shimmery White cardstock. If you haven't seen Shimmery White before, it is thicker than our Whisper White making it stand up when you watercolour and the shimmer adds to its beauty. Again I used Black Stazon ink to stamp and then Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Cucumber Crush, Tip Top Taupe and Crushed Curry were the ink colours.
Happy Stamping,
And so I can hide the candy I bought from my hubby, I had to make a few treat boxes. This sweet box is so easy to make and looks fabulous and you can open and close it hundreds of times without damaging it. I cased this box from Jini and she even has a video to show you just how easy it is to make just click here and see it. http://stampwithjini.com/love-blossom-domed-treat-box/
I used our beautiful Gold Foil paper for my boxes adding Real Red cardstock for the label and our Red Glimmer paper for the heart. Now the closure I used was our retired Glimmer Brads (I had two Red ones left and they are a perfect match for the Glimmer Paper.
And check out the contents of the box--
Yep, that is why I had to hide them from hubby, he loves them.
Happy Stamping,

Well, Mr Brown came on Friday with my box of goodies from the new catty and yes, I had a bit of fun this weekend playing in my room. First stamp set opened Birthday Blooms.
This set is one you will just have to get if you like watercolouring. I stamped the big flower onto Watercolour paper with Black Stazon (Stazon does not bleed when wet) and started to watercolour using my Aquapainter and ink pads. The image and the Watermelon Wonder circle under it are cut out with our Circles Collection framelits and then layered onto a Calypso Coral card base that was ran through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots impressions folder. Yes, this set does come with beautiful sentiments but I needed a Thank You card so why not use another stamp set out of the box of goodies. This set is What I love and is only available for FREE with a $60 order. Again I stamped using Stazon onto Watercolour paper and punched out with our Word Window Punch layering onto the Modern Label punch.
If you have placed orders with me in the last year, your cattys are on their way to you but If you clicked the No Contact box on you order unfortunately I don't know who you are so if you want a catty, just let me know,
Happy Stamping,
