Bombs Away Birthday

I wanted to make some fun cards using the Bombs Away Birthday photopolymer stamp set and this is what I came up with...

 



 

I took some tags made from the Two Tags Die (retired) and used them a my focus.  The circles are 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" punched circles that have been embossed with the Honeycomb folder.

 

My background on the top ones is stamped with the Mosaic Madness stamp set, Smoky Slate ink on the same color card stock.

 

The background on this one is the bomb stamp, Bravo Burgundy ink on the same color card stock.

 

Supplies:

Bravo Burgundy, Pool Party, Primrose Petals, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate card stock

Bravo Burgundy, Midnight Muse and Smoky Slate ink

Tags and More Tags

 

At Late Night Stampers this week, our challenge is to use retiring colors in our projects.  While these tags don't all use retiring colors, there are a few in there.

 

 

The first one is made of layered labels and I used Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose (retiring color), Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Soft Suede as my colors.  The stamp sets are Everything Eleanor and Just Believe (also retiring).

 

On the second one, I used some Polka Dot Parade dsp, Real Red card stock and Marina Mist ink with the Quintessential Flower stamp.  It can be hung on a gift bag with some Essentials Designer Fabric (retiring).  The Two Tags die that was used to cut this tag out is also retiring :(  I use that one so much!

 

 

The last one has a base of Lucky Limeade (retiring) and the star is punched out of Not Quite Navy (retiring).  I embossed the base with the Vintage Wallpaper folder (retiring) and added some Print Poetry designer paper, a silver designer button and a decorative label punched sentiment from Word Play (retiring).

 

While I will really miss a lot of the retiring colors and products, I look forward to the new things we can soon play with!

 

Hope you play along with us this week!

Wishing You...

 

My middle child was 9 on Tuesday and this is the card I made for him using a leftover number from the Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin' Kit, a tag from the Two Tags die and some dsp from the Festival of Prints pack.

 

 

I added a sentiment from the Wacky Wishes stamp set and on my Cherry Cobbler layer under the tag, I used the Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate (Occasions Mini catalog).

 

I made another version that doesn't have a number on it as well and just added a scallop circle that I embossed with the Honeycomb folder and a Cherry Cobbler button on top of it.

Tag Greeting

Another Christmas card to share with you today using a tag from the Two Tags die as the focal point.  I added a snowflake from the Snow Flurry die and a doily from the Delicate Doilies sizzlit along with some Festival of Prints dsp.

 

 

The background is Gumball Green that has been embossed with the Honeycomb folder and my sentiment is from Greetings of the Season and is in Cherry Cobbler.

July Stamp Club Projects

These are the projects we made for this month's stamp club.  I used the Reason to Smile stamp set on this one along with the Argyle folder and some Subtles designer paper stack paper.

This card was CASED from one in our Stampin' Success magazine - super cute and easy to put together.

I continued with the Subtles designer series paper stack on the layout and added some of the elegant butterflies that I punched out.

Creative Elements birthday

I tried a color on color card today and it actually didn't turn out how I planned in the beginning, but I think I like it anyway. 

I used a Rich Razzleberry Base and the second layer is the same color, but I ran it through the Big Shot and the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder. 

The tag is from the Two Tags die and the little banner is from the Petal cone die.  So Saffron and Certainly Celery are the other two colors I went with and the tag is Confetti White.

Wicked Tearing

At Late Night Stamper we are tearing projects this week and the first one I am going to share with you is a Halloween card. 

The Pumpkin Pie layer has been run through the Big Shot with the Spider Web impressions folder, but before I ran it through I added black ink to the raised side.  The side that is showing is the reverse of the impression.

The tag is from the two tags die nad the DSP on it comes from the Brights paper pack.  I used the Wicked Cool stamp set and sponged everything in Basic Black ink.

Gifts of Christmas

I have another Christmas card for you today, this one using the Gifts of Christmas set.

Happy Birthday!

This is a super simple card that I made for the Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge this week.   I used one of the Two Tags die cuts and cut about 1/4" off each of the long edges.  You can open up the flap and see an image of a cake.

Supplies:

Afterthoughts stamp set

Real Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White card stock

cordoroy button

Pacific Point classic ink

spiral punch

Two Tage die

Big Shot

1/8" Real Red taffeta ribbon

Celebrations quick accents

Clear Case notepad holder

I finally made it to a office supply store to get some note pads and have them cut down so I could make one of these :)  I used the Ice Cream Parlor sets from Sale-a-bration and the Simple Alphabet letters dies. 

on the inside I added a top note and a scalloped envelope with a bookmark from the two tags die to decorate a little.

These are so quick and fun to make, I am sure it won't be the last one.

Tin purse

I am going to work on projects with a Girl Scouts group tonight and I thought they might like to make these projects. Since our time is limited, I did most of the prep work for them, but hopefully they will have fun with these.

The tins were on our Clearance rack last fall and I used the crop-o-dile to make holes to add the ribbon so it can be a little purse.  There will be a book mark and a little note pad to put inside that matches. 

For this sample, I used the Celebrations Designer Series paper, Grunge Rock and Friends Rock stamp sets along with the Top Note and Two Tags dies.  There will be another version with the retired Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series paper as well.

Tags, Tags and more tags!

I love playing with the Two Tags die and the Top Note die for gift tags!  Here are some examples of what I have come up with this year.
