Baseball All Star

From Cards

My nephew was on his baseball all-star team, so this was his b-day card. The colors are weird on this screen, but I think it's Wild Wasabi and Old Olive??? The baseball player is from SU! Alphabet stamps from Hobby Lobby, and the star is actually a clear sticker placed over cardstock and cut out. Square brads from Spare Parts.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stationery envelope and cards

This is a stationery set that we made, again, at a stamping party. We made the envelope to hold it all with 12x12 sheet, cut down to size. Here is the front. The medallion was stamped on sparkly glittery white cardstock, which, as always, is much prettier IRL.

This is the stamp holder on the inside flap of the envelope.

From Cards

Here it is fully opened... a slot for stamps, one for cards, and one for envelopes.

Here it is with all the cards and coordinating envelopes in view.

Here is the first card I made... Thinking of you. I REALLY struggled to get this card to work for me... it took about 15 tries, I think! Thanks for my missing mojo! I finally got it to work well enough that I was OK with it!

Here's the last card... the sentiment says "Birthday Wishes," if you can't read it. The silver gel pen used doesn't always photograph so well!

From Cards

Most of the stamps used were SU!, with the exception of the silver flowers on the second card. I'm not sure where those came from. Colors are Blue Bayou and Soft Sky, as well as silver.

I sent this to my grandma... she LOVED it! She is so funny - she loves to brag about my stamping to her friends that stamp. It makes me feel good about my stamping, and of course, she always gets the extra cards that I make at stamping parties, etc., that I wouldn't normally send out! It's always nice when people appreciate your work!

Thinking of You

From Cards

We made this card at a stamping party, so I can't take any credit for it. I actually used it as an anniversary card since the pp says "love" right above the felt flowers. This is all SU! stuff, but I don't really know the details. The flower bkgd on the Groovy Guava is a jumbo wheel. I really like this one!

Birthday Cake

From Cards

This was another SIL's birthday card.

Cardstock: white from Walmart, SU! pp in Real Red (6x6 pack)
Ink:Basic Black, Red glitter gel pen, Silver gel pen, yellow gel pen
Other: Marvy oval punch, white ribbon from Walmart, Real Red heart eyelets from SU!, and silver paint pen
I doodled around the perimeter of the oval with a silver gel pen.

Thinking of You

From Cards

The color on this picture is weird, but you get the idea. I've been struggling with my "mojo" in stamping quite a bit lately, so when I saw this card kit on clearance at Hobby Lobby, I snatched it up! I added the Rose Romance (retired) heart eyelets and stamped a little on the inside. I don't remember who makes this kit, either, but I'll try to remember to edit it in when I get a chance.

Give yourself a big hug!

This was made for a family member whose spouse was not able to be with them on their anniversary. I made 2 of the exact same card, only with the colors reversed. This polar bear and the sentiment below are also from Gina K designs, I think. The "Thinking of you" sentiment is SU!

Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi (and of course, white from WALMART!), PP in the same colors from the 6x6" mat pack.
Ink: same as above
Other: Corner punch SU!, white heart eyelets from SU!, Heart shape stencil and free-hand cut

Thanks for visiting!

FIESTA!!!

From Cards

My SIL is Mexican, and is very proud of her culture. I made this card for her son. It's very bright and colorful... not my normal style, but I ended up liking it a lot. Every piece of cardstock in the bkgd is stamped with Versamark and a different pattern dealing with birthdays.

Cardstock: SU! Basic Black,Brilliant Blue, Cool Carribean, Garden Green, Only Orange, YoYo Yellow, Real Red
Inks: same as above, plus Basic Gray
Other: Deckle edge on my cutter, Silver gel pen

TFL! :-)
