A Couple of Birthday Cards

Hello! I'm still on a mission to get some birthday cards done! I have two to share today that I got done on Saturday night. They have sort of a vintage feel to them:




Goodies:
All supplies by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: Bliss set, Well Scripted set, A Slice of Life set
Ink: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight classic inks; Jet Black Staz On
Paper: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso cardstock; Marina Mist textured cardstock; patterned paper by Jillibean Soup

Doesn't the patterned paper remind you of an old calico print? I thought it was fun!

I made these down at my friend Dawnette's house where I hang out almost every Saturday night. You should see what she made with Stampin' Up!s Love Letter's DSP- Such a pretty layout! Pop on over to her blog to take a peek.

Vintage Mothers Day Card

Hi!

I wanted to pop on and share a mother's day card I made for my mom over the weekend... Can you believe that mother's day is this Sunday?? I feel like it really snuck up on me this year! Here is the card:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Well Scripted
Ink: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Bashful Blue classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Kraft, Confetti White, Rose Red, Soft Suede cardstock
Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Scallop Edge punch, Pretty in Pink 1/2" satin ribbon, half back pearls from the pretties kit, Fine Supernova stampin' glitter, Dimensionals, paper piercer

I had fun playing with the vintage look again. This time I added a little sparkle with the pretty Supernova glitter- I love these but always forget I have them! The flowers are heat embossed with clear powder and then layered to give them a little more pizazz.

Anyways, hope you are ready for mother's day! Hee! I'm off to enjoy a little sunshine with my girls and then I'll get going on the other 2 mother's day cards I need to make...

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Easter Card

Happy Saturday! I am excited because this weekend is one of only a few that I don't have any plans! I love that... we are just going to do what we feel like! I think I will take my daughter to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland. Then head to my friend Dawnette's house for some crafty fun this evening. Maybe tomorrow we'll head out to do something touristy around town!

I've been in a little mojo slump again but I finally pulled together this card for the most recent Just Add Ink challenge- Easter projects! Here is what I made:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Well Scripted, Friends, 24-7, Chic Boutique, Chocolate Bunny
Ink: Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Kraft, Confetti White, Soft Suede, Rose Red cardstock; Sweet Pea DSP
Accessories: Scallop Edge punch, White Signo gel pen, paper piercer, Rhinestone brads from Pretties kit; Champagne Shimmer Paint, SU! Floral Fusion Sizzlet Die, Dimensionals

I've added a coat of shimmer paint to the bunny but you can't really tell from the picture. I wanted him to have a little sparkle. I was going for a vintage, layered look...

There is still time to play along with Just Add Ink's challenge so if you have time, check it out!

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Pretty Valentine Card

Good Morning!

It's another snowy day... 6 in a row for us! I made this card a few nights ago and I really love how it turned out:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: I {Heart} Hearts set, Well Scripted set, En Francais set
Ink: Old Olive, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink classic inks
Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip cardstock; Sweet Pea DSP
Accessories: Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon, hemp twine, Latte' button assortment, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Dimensionals

The layout for this card came from one of Cosmo Cricket's great designers. Isn't it a great one? I had to try it! I created the scallops by punching out a circle and tracing it on to the patterned paper. I love the look of the larger scallops right now and I've found that the 1 3/8" circle is the perfect size!

Off to get busy on the rest of my day! Not that I've got any where to go because of the snow... hee!

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Pretty Birthday Card

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a special someone's birthday coming up next month. Our family has lots of birthdays in January so I thought I'd better get a head start! Here is my card:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Vintage Vogue set, Well Scripted set
Ink: Chocolate Chip classic ink; Versamark
Paper: Kraft, Rose Red, Whisper White cardstock; Sweet Pea DSP
Accessories: Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, Stitched Sweet Pea Felt, Scallop Edge punch, Corner Rounder punch, dimensionals

I really wanted the new felties to be the focal point here so I kept the stamping to a minimum. I think these new little flowers are just adorable! I have a feeling I'll be wanting to put them on everything I make for awhile! Hee!

Hope you are enjoying your Monday!

Thanks for peeking today!
