New Goodies!!!

Recently I got to play with some of my new Stampin' Up! supplies! I just LOVE, LOVE the new hexagon stamp set (Six-Sided Sampler) and coordinating punch! This bundle (132724 clear mount, 132725 wood mount) can be found on page 125 of the new catty, which is also where I case'd this card from. I just love the colors and would not have thought to put Gumball Green with Pool Party..........but I LOVE how it turned out!

Sorry for the poor picture, but I was getting ready to mail it and decided that I should get a picture of it first!

Final Christmas Project

Here is our 3rd and final club project. This a CASE of a card I saw on Splitcoast Stampers. I just loved it! We recreated it for club.

The base of this card is Cherry Cobbler. The Very Vanilla layer has been ran through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry folder (120902) - beautiful! The little bit of DSP is the new Be of Good Cheer DSP from the IBC (126896). The mittens and 'Merry Christmas' are from the new Chock-Full of Cheer stamp set (126717). I love this stamp set! This card also features the new Gumball Green In-Color ribbon (126848). This is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! greens - I was 'in love' with Kiwi Kiss.........but this green is a close second! :)  

Birthday Invites

My son's birthday was this past weekend. He loves football and always has a bunch of friends over for his birthday party. Needless to say, all they do is play football. It makes for an easy event for me! Here is the invitation that I created for his party. Since it is a bunch of kids, AND boys, to save a little paper (since you know they just get thrown away) the invitation is sort of a postcard.

I found this idea from Tanya Boser on Stampin' Connection.

The base is Crumb Cake. I used the 'Go Team' image from the retired set Sporting and stamped it in Crumb Cake to create a background. I used the football image from the retired set Just Football. These are two sets that I cannot part with for obvious reasons! I traced around the base and the football with my Basic Black marker. On the back of the card is all the birthday party information. He was pleased.  :)

CASEd

WOW! It sure has been a while since I last posted. Sorry!  :(  This time of year is really busy for my family. My husband coaches 7th and 8th grade football and helps with my son's team also. That means practice for him 4 nights a week with two of those nights lasting until 7:00, unless there is a game which means a MUCH later night! Then, my daughter plays basketball at 2 different places, so that is 2 nights a week of basketball. All of that equals not very much time for me or stamping. {sad face} But....... 7th and 8th grade football is over, my son's football is over, and my daughter is down to basketball one night a week. YAY! That means more family time and hopefully more stamping time!! WHOO HOO!

Anyway, here is a card that I made at an event held a while back by my awesome upline Tiffany Bauer.

I really like this card and decided to use the design and recreate it with different DSP. Here is my version:

I just love the bright, bold colors of this card! I miss this DSP.

More Love Letter DSP

I told you I love this DSP! It's just so classy! Here is a card a made for a friend's birthday.

Again I used Love Letter DSP, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Cherry Cobbler. I also used Beautiful Butterflies die, modern label punch, eyelet border, linen thread and the Notably Ornate stamp set.

It's a Snow Day!

Is it snowing where you are? It sure is here! We have at least 3 inches and it is still snowing! YIKES!

Today's project is a card that I made using my favorite DSPs. I love our Love Letter and Newsprint designer series papers together! 

For this card I used Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Love Letter DSP, Newsprint DSP, the new dotted scallop ribbon border punch, large oval punch, scallop oval extra-large punch, and Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon (LOVE that stuff too!).

I hope you're enjoying your day! TFL!

First Ever Post!

Hello! Here is a card I created using all Stampin' Up product. This card was inspired by a card I received from Tiffany Bauer . The card colors include: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Crushed Curry. The DSP is from the Welcome Neighbor DSP pad from the January 5 - March 31, 2010 Sale-A-Bration catalog. The textured layer (done in Bermuda Bay) was textured using the Square Lattice embossing folder. I also included a knotted ribbon in Crushed Curry. I hope you like my first 'published' card!
