First Steps

Each year when I decide to get rid of some retired stamp sets, I tend to usually hang on to the baby themed ones and keep using them for quite a while.  This stamp set is one that is retired, but I find I used it quite often.  

I made both boy and girl cards using the First Steps stamp set and In Color designer series paper and ribbon.  The doilies are also retired but I must have purchased quite a few before that happened!  I also added a few enamel dots for accents.

Supplies:

First Steps

Crumb Cake, Real Red ink

Crumb Cake card stock

In Color designer series paper

In Color ribbon

Enamel dots

lace doilies

2" circle punch

Plaid Sympathy

I had a few leftover pieces of some Plaid tidings designer series paper from a previous project and decided to use them on a sympathy card along with a die cut stitched leaf.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and is on a piece die cut from the Stitched Shapes framelits.

Supplies:

Peaceful Moments

Early Espresso ink

Early Espresso, Whisper White, Basic Black card stock

Stitched Shapes framelits

Stitched leaves dies

Plaid tidings dsp

Game On

Don't forget to take advantage of the discount on selected collections of designer series paper this month!

I put together a few cards using the Game On stamp set recently, one of our stamp club projects this month was also created using this set as you can see in yesterday's post.  For these cards, I used a couple different collections of designer series paper - Plaid Tidings and Gilded Autumn.

The card on the right has the playing cards stamped on some retired Classic Garage designer series paper and I just used a paper snips to cut out both the sentiments and the playing cards.

Supplies:

Game on

Gray Granite, Memento Black ink

Seaside Spray, Whisper White, Gray Granite card stock

Plaid Tidings dsp

Gilded Autumn specialty paper

retired embossing folder

October Stamp Club Projects

This month we are focusing on a lot of different designer series paper collections on our projects.  The layout uses the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper and the cards use In Good Taste and Plaid Tidings.

I used several different patterns of the paper for the layout and added some coordinating colors of card stock for the photo mats.

The first card uses the Plaid Tidings designer series paper along with the Game on stamp set and Stitched Shapes framelits.

Finally, the last card uses some different patterns of In Good Taste paper and the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set. The die cuts on this card are from the Tasteful Labels collection.

Thinking of You

In this fall themed thinking of you card, I have chosen to use the Old World Paper embossing folder in the background on some Pretty Peacock card stock.  I love the detail of the texture when I use this embossing folder.

The leaf was die cut using the dies in the Love of Leaves bundle and there is a piece of In Good Taste designer series paper behind the Cajun Craze card stock.  The sentiment is from the In the Pines stamp set and I also added some Bumblebee ribbon.

Supplies:

In the Pines

Pretty Peacock ink

Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Whisper White card stock

In Good Taste dsp

Love of Leaves bundle

Bumblebee ribbon

Old World Paper embossing folder
