RainyDay Stamper

Woo Hoo it's Friday

What a great week we have had weather-wise, funny how just a bit of sunshine makes the world a better place.  This week I have been doing more organizing in my craft room, pulling out the retired sets, boy my shelves are getting empty (hmmm, may just have to buy some more!!)

Today's card uses On a Pedestal, yes, it is retiring.

 Melon Mambo, Early Expresso and Pretty in Pink, I do love this colour combination.  I used the Pinking Hearts Border punch along the bottom of the Early Expresso mat and 1/4" Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon with a Clear Rhinestone brad for the center of the bow.

Happy Stamping,

And the card

to go with yesterday's gift.

 Same colors with Sahara Sand being the base.

I used Crazy for Cupcakes stamping the cupcake tower in Black Stazon and coloring the wrappers with Chocolate Chip and my blender pen.  The cherries are colored with Poppy Parade marker and the stand with Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent ink.  If you haven't tried this Smooch, you are missing a great product.  
 

It comes in a nail polish like container and the  brush is a foamie so it is very easy to apply and the shimmer, incredible. It is available in four colors, Moonlight, Gold Lame, Silver Fox, Illuminate Top Coat.  Use this fabulous product to bring extra shimmer to your project.

Happy Stamping,

It was one of those days

You know the day- you go to make a card and everything you try, just doesn't look right.  I had to make a male birthday card, so no pink, no bows, no flower, you know, lots of no, no , no!  Then I didn't like the colors, too dark, finally, Poppy Parade to the rescue again.  Man, I am going to have to order a full pack of it this week as I have half a sheet left!  So I finally got a card I am happy with,

Poppy Parade and Early Expresso with a bit of So Saffron.  The bottom DSP is from the In Color Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack (117158) and it  gorgeous pack of paper.  40 sheets, all five In Colors, four different patterns and two double sided sheets of each design.  Guess what color I am going to run out of first?

The stamp set, On a Pedestal and I stamped the Pedestal in So Saffron then the cupcake in Poppy Parade and on a scrap piece the cupcake again in Early Expresso and then cut out the top part and added it with dimensionals after stamping the candle on top.  The sentiment comes from the set On Your Birthday, (111664) I think one of the best Birthday sentiment sets you can get, so many choices for both the inside and outside of the card.  For example, the one I used inside this card

Happy Stamping,
