Cute Baby Onesie

Although I used retired paper (sorry but I love it), I used current stamps.  The "Let the Cute Begin" stamp comes from the Best of "Babies and Brides" May set.
I used the wheel with the Baby Onesies on it.  My paper snips came in handy to cut out one of them.  I attached a hanger and then popped it up using dimensionals.  I just love how it looks... 

Come back tomorrow for a really fun and summery project!

Mr. and Mrs. Wedding

I got this card idea from the Stampin' Up! Catalog.  I didn't do it exactly like it was shown in the catalog but I love it!  The doily is perfect for a wedding card and I just love the little flowers with pearls in the center!
The Designer Series Paper is from the Subtles Paper stack and it will be gone on June 3rd!  I used the So Safron and matched it with the Basic Gray Card Stock.

Check back tomorrow for more cards!  :)

Blue Ribbon Graduation Card

I was asked to create a graduation card for a friend.  And then I decided I should make several in the local school colors to sell at the Vendor Fair this weekend.  I don't have a lot of grad school but the Stampin' Up! Blue Ribbon set works PERFECT!
I am so SAD to see the stamp set Word Play retire at the end of this month (that's the "Go" stamp you see on the left).  This is my favorite "go to" stamp set.
In both cards I used Whisper White, Night of Navy and then added Real Red to the bottom card.

Please leave me comments!  I love to see what everyone thinks of my cards!  Also, I have a set of 4 markers to give to the first person who makes a purchase in my online store TODAY!  

As a bonus, I will send out a selection of Designer Series Paper and ribbon to a random comment placed by May 18th at 6pm.

Laughter and Love Cake

I am trying to make a variety of cards to have available to sell at a Vendor Fair this Saturday.  This is one of the cards I came up with:
I used the Love and Laughter Stamp Set (isn't that cake adorable?) with Real Red and Basic Gray inks. I layered Whisper White on itself for a simple, yet classy, look.  I added pearls to the centers of the flowers (which I stamped exactly on the cake using my Stamp A Majig).

SHOP NOW!!

Lego Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to my nephew!  He turned 6 about a week ago!  Wow, how time flies!  He is in LOVE with legos.  He is even able to follow the directions and put them together himself!  I am such a proud Auntie!  :)
This card was so easy!  I just punched on several circles and popped them up on the square and rectangles.  I used the Brights Designer Series Paper stack, the polka dots Real Red and Daffodil Delight strips.  The blue is Pacific Point which finishes off this bright and cheerful card. 

I cased this card from a website and I can't find the original link... so if it's yours, please give yourself credit!  Thanks for checking out today's creation!

Spring Sampler Thanks

I CASE'd this card from Andi Potler from a Facebook group that we are in together.  I just love the Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Series paper!  I am going to be so SAD when it's gone on June 1st!  I just ordered myself another packet of it so I can continue to use it!  That's the first time I have done that!
This stamp set is another set that retires on May 31st.  It's called "Spring Sampler".  There are all sorts of cute spring (and summer) images!  I love how bright and cheerful this card is!  I plan to make smaller 3x3 versions as Thank You's for my class (for Teacher Appreciation week).  The cloud Embossing Folder is also leaving us on May 31st.... so many cute items being retired with the ending of the Occasions Catalog (but so many awesome items coming out the same day with the new Annual Catalog).
