Happy 40th!

I recently made this card for my sister to celebrate her 40th birthday using the Mixed Drinks and Milestone Moments stamp sets.  The Milestone Moments set is very versatile and can be used for birthday, baby, retirement, and anniversary.  

In the background I added some retired In Color doilies and a piece of Foil Frenzy specialty designer series paper for fun.  The card base is Fresh Fig and I used that ink for the sentiment and drink umbrella as well.  The drinks are stamped with Powder Pink ink.

Supplies:

Mixed Drinks, Milestone Moments

Basic Black, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink ink

Fresh Fig, Basic Black, Very Vanilla card stock

Foil Frenzy specialty designer series paper

Oh So Eclectic

There are times when I leave sentiments of any kind off cards either to add one later or to just send a note to someone without a purpose.  The following card uses the Naturally Eclectic designer series paper and Oh So Eclectic stamp set to do just that.

I really like the watercolor background image behind the flower and stamped it three times with Pool Party ink before adding the flower and the dotted images.

Twinkle Twinkle

While the Tasty Treats specialty designer series paper is no longer available, I still wanted to use some of it on baby cards and share them with you.  I addition to the Tasty Treats paper, I used a piece of the Wood Textures collection along the side.

My focal layer is punched out with the new starburst punch and I used the Moon Baby stamp set for the stars and sentiments.

This is another sample of a card made for a customer recently.  I did a couple of different styles of retirement cards for them and for this one I chose to use the Mixed Drinks and Wild about Flowers stamp sets.

You're Delightful

The hostess stamp set called You're Delightful has some great large sentiment images in it that can be paired with some much smaller ones.  That is what drew me to this set and I have had some fun playing with it.  

I started out embossing a piece of Soft Sky card stock with the Polka dots basics folder and then cut out a couple of layering circles using Lemon Lime Twist card stock and Naturally Eclectic designer series paper.

Miss You

I just love the chair image in the Colorful Seasons stamp set and wanted to use it on some miss you cards I needed to create.  The card is pretty simple, but I like the end result.

The falling leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink and I used Dapper Denim for the sentiment and part of the chair, along with Soft Suede.

Watermelons

I made a few more cards using the pieces and stamps from the June Paper Pumpkin kit a week or so ago.  This time I chose to keep it sentiment free and just bright and summery.

The background is some of the tissue paper and part of a card front that was cut down.  I also added a piece of one of the bags that was die cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits.

Pocket Full of Flowers

This card started out with just the stamped and die cut pocket cut out of some Delightful Daisy designer series paper.  After that, I decided I wanted to pair it with some Wood textures designer series paper and thought the little flowers coming out of the pocket would make it fun.

The flowers are stamped with Basic Black ink and then I added the color with Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo ink.

Supplies:

Recently, I have put together a few different occasions cards using the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  Today's card pairs the Eastern Palace specialty paper with it and uses the coordinating colors of the paper - Dapper Denim, Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist.

For the Bride

I recently had an order for a variety of cards and included in the order was a request for some bridal shower cards.  The one I am sharing today is one of the designs I put together using some Falling in Love designer series paper and the So Detailed Thinlits.

My sentiment is from the Special Occasions stamp set and I used Early Espresso ink.  For some accents I also added some rhinestones and a lace doily.

Special Reason Birthday

This is another card in my current Stamp A Stack rotation using the Special Reason stamp set from the Occasions catalog we had this spring.  I would have liked to see this set and the coordinating framelits in the new catalog, but I know they can't keep everything!  

The layers are cut out using the Stitched Shapes framelits (I bet you can tell from my posts that is one of my favorites!!) and I added some Bundle of Love specialty paper.

The Celebration Continues

When I put this card together I was working on using some scraps of designer series paper.  I cut out a square and circle from two different patterns of the Naturally Eclectic designer series paper and then a larger square and circle from some Lemon Lime Twist card stock.  

The sentiment comes from the stamp set called Sorry For Everything and it is stamped with Night of Navy ink.  For a few accents, I added some glitter enamel dots.
