Valentine for Try Stampin' on Tuesday

I just recently came across this blog Try Stampin' on Tuesday and I absolutely love it! The sketches are wonderful, and I'm having a great time creating new cards.  I've been dying to make a Valentine's Day card, and I've even debated making Taryn's cards for her Kindergarten class, but instead I made a card for my husband. We don't typically exchange cards on Valentine's Day. This year I decided to use the rub-ons I received from SU last year, and this is how it came out.  I hope you (and my husband) like it!

Baby Bundle in Pink & Blue

Happy New Year! I have been terrible with posting in the last few months.  Between Christmas Card orders and the kids and their various activities, I just haven't had the time. 
I have been dying to try a few new sketches and this particular sketch on Splitcoast Stampers caught my eye.

I've been needing some baby cards for my Etsy shop, as I'm trying to build it slowly, and I thought this sketch was perfect for it.  I made one card in Pink and the other in Blue so that customers could see the options.  My paper was the Subtle DSP along with Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist, and Bashful Blue. This card is the first time I've been able to use the Baby Bundle stamp set and I love it! So adorable! I hope  you like them!

Mojo Monday 214

It has been ages since I've posted.  Life has been so hectic and I've been working on so many projects here at home.  I saw this adorable sketch on the Mojo Monday Sketch Blog and I needed some inspiration for some of my Christmas card designs.  I've been trying to find a way to use the Merry Christmas stamp from the Easy Events set, and this was the perfect card for it.  The cute Pines & Poinsettias stamp was added in on a whim.  I just received my shipment of Holly Berry Bouquet DSP to use too.  I hope you like it!

Notepad Holder

I bought a bunch of magnetic notepads at AC Moore last night with the idea that I would make a covered set and sell them at the craft fair.  I couldn't find any tutorials anywhere for this size notepad, so I improvised and came up with my own (which I'm rather proud of).  I love the Flirtatious Specialty DSP and it sort-of matched the notepad, so I went with it.  I hope you like it!

Follow My New Team Member!!!

Hi everyone! Things have been so crazy around here.  I have developed a virus on my laptop and all my cards are on there so I'll have to try and transfer what I can onto my desktop.  Hence, the lack of posting.  But, I do have a new team member, Kim, and she is just starting out in the blog world.  So, I was hoping you could take a stop by her blog and show her some SU! love! The above picture is of her demo kit, which we all can vouch to how excited we were when we got ours! Hopefully I'll have a new card up by this evening.  Have a great day!!!

Simply Simple

These cards were made for a co-worker of my Aunt's who was looking for blank cards to send off.  I've been dying to use my new Delicate Doilies stamp set.  The idea of cutting out the top layer of the doily is all over Stampin Connection so I don't have just one person to give the credit to.  I had done a wedding card for this same person in the black and white theme and I really liked it, so I kept going with it on these blank cards.  I added the color on the top layer to make it stand out.  I hope you (and she) like them!

Stamp Set: Delicate Doilies

Ink/Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo

Accessories: Lattice Folder, Border Punch, Dimmensionals

Wedding Card

This is a card that a co-worker of my family ordered for a wedding she'll be attending.  The wedding color theme is black and white.  I thought the Baja Breeze coloring for the sentiment gave the card a splash of color to brighten it up a bit.  The WW CS is embossed with the Manhattan Flower.  I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits and my framed punch to bring out the sentiment.  I hope you like it!
