Vintage Thanks

Today I have another sample using our sketch for Late Night Stampers using the same colors and designer paper as the last sample.

For this card, I flipped the sketch and used pleated ribbon instead of a border punch and embossed my background with the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder.

I had a couple of the flower accents left and added them to the squares on the side and I modified the modern label punch a little bit for the sentiment.

Baby

This is another page I did for my niece's scrapbook using the Serif Essentials Alphabet die and the Nursery Nest designer series paper. 

I added a little pleated ribbon and a sneak peak fabric brad from the Summer Smooches collection.

Here is our new baby!  We just picked her out last night and brought her home with us.  She definitely has a good set of lungs :)  The kids were out before it 7 am to play with her this morning and had a difficult time leaving for school. 

Fresh Vintage Anniversary Card

A customer of mine ordered a couple anniversary cards and this is one that I made for her.  It uses the Fresh Vintage stamp set along with the Everyday Elegance designer series paper from Sale-a-bration.

Wonderful Little Things

I put together a quick little card set using a 6 X 6 page protector as the card holder.  The inspiration for the holder came from this site although I have seem them in other places and made a few before too. 

The card holder has a little piece of velcro to hold it shut so the cards don't fall out.

Loving Thoughts

These cards focus on the stamp set Loving Thoughts that is in the Occasions Mini catalog.  It is a great word set that can be used for a lot of different occasions.

One thing I rarely take out to use anymore is my wheels and I am not really sure why that is.  This is probably my favorite one tough, Music Notes, and I used Early Espresso ink for its image.

Simply Soft

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!  Today also happens to be my 14th Anniversary and we get to celebrate by helping our oldest study for a science test and watch our middle one play at halftime of a basketball game tonight :)

I pulled out my Simply Soft stamp set and made a couple cards combining it with the Mocha Morning specialty paper. 

On the top one, I used the scallop edge border punch for the side of the image and on the bottom one, I used the curly label punch and added a few to the back of the image layer. 

Supplies:

Simply Soft, Occasional Quotes

Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz card stock

Embossed Doilies

I shared a card that I had embossed a doilie on earlier and thought I would share a few more I made at the same time.  They are all embossed with Vanilla embossing powder on Whisper White card stock and then I just sponged heavily and added a designer brad to the middle of each one.

Here is a close up of the backgounds...

More Stamp Camp projects

As promised, here are the other projects we worked on during our Stamp Camp last weekend. 

Lisa's card features the labels collection framelits and the Sale-a-bration stamp set Fresh Vintage and the designer paper, Everyday Enchantment.

I just love these stretchy bookmarks!  We let the group choose their design and ribbon for these.

Composition book

I have purchased so many of these cute little composition books when they have been on clearance, I decided it was about time to start using them!  This one is covered with the Twitterpated designer series paper that is in the Occasions mini catalog. 

I used the Bordering on Romance stamp set, Labels collection framelits, pear pizzazz pleated ribbon and a button from the clearance rack to finish off this little book.

Valentine Pouch

LeAnn Greff had an adorable Valentine Pouch on her blog and also gave directions to make it so today's project is a CASE of hers with some little changes.

I used the Beau Chateau deisgner series paper and sponged all the pieces with Soft Suede classic ink.  My sentiment is from Valentine Defined.

 

These are really quick and easy to make with the Petal Cone die and the Hearts collection framelits.  This pleated ribbon is fast becoming one of my favorites as well.

This is a view of the back, you could certainly decorate that as well.

Designer Birthday

This card is made using the second design from the Designer Cuts cards and envelopes package in the Occassions Mini catalog.  I am not 100% sure I love the way it turned out, I think it will take some more playing around to find a design I like!

The buttons and pleated ribbon are also new in the mini catalog and the stamp set used is Curly Cute.

Bordering on Romance Sneak Peek

I have a sneak peek for you today of a stamp set that will be in the Occasions Mini Catalog next month.  It is called Bordering on Romance and although I have not shown it here, the stamp set will coordinate with the Adorning Accents Framelits and Textured impressions embossing folders.

A couple other new items on this card are the Twitterpated designer buttons and 3/8" pleated satin ribbon in Blushing Bride.
