Wacky Wishes

Wacky Wishes has been my FAVORITE hostess stamp set this year.  I've used it on so many cards this catalog year!

For this card, I used one of the greetings stamped twice...once in Raspberry Ripple and then stamped again in Whisper White.  This is such a fun technique to try.  It gives the stamp some dimension!  Order your supplies here.

Happy Birthday

Just a quick happy birthday card today.  The background was created using the Illuminate Glitter Watermark stamp pad rubbed on the Elegant Lines Impressions Folder.  The edge around the oval is created using the scallop edge border punch.  I just used the bone folder to make it pliable and then added it behind the oval using sticky strip.  Gotta run!  Order your supplies here.

Christmas Trees

Here's another card created for last week's stamp camp.  I was inspired by this card create by Paula Dobson.  I changed up the colors to make more of a wintery card.  This has to be one of those all-time stamp sets!  One of the very first stamp sets I bought...how fun you can now get it in clear mount!  The greeting is much bigger so I used markers to only ink the "Merry Christmas" part of the stamp and to get it in two different colors.  :)  Order your supplies here.

Ink:  Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue

Halloween Witches

I LOVE the fun side of Halloween.  I love the fun decorations (not really into the scary stuff).  I love getting dressed up (trying to convince my 10-year-old it's still cool to dress up as a family like we did this year and this year). I love hosting the Witch's Diner every year.  I love the delicious goodies that are served at Halloween.  I love the fun spirit it brings.  When I saw this card created by LeeAnn Greff, I couldn't wait to try it out.  Super easy to just use punches to create the skirts!

How FUN is that?!?!  It was one of the most popular cards at last weekend's stamp-a-stack.  I had to cut more cardstock for guests to make this card. Order your supplies here.

Birthday Butterfly

I ordered the new spritzing tools before I went to Convention, but I didn't have time to use them.  While at Convention, I attended an evening technique class.  One of the presenters specifically focused on spritzing.  I couldn't wait to get home to create!  Tonight's technique class will be all about the spritzing tool.

For this card, I cut out the butterfly with the Big Shot and then laid it on top of the Very Vanilla CS.  I filled up the spritzer with 10 drops of reinker and rubbing alcohol.  Spritz, spritz...and we have a beautiful masked butterfly.  I stamped the greeting and then matted the Very Vanilla CS with Tangerine Tango.  I wanted some ribbon to match so I spritzed Vanilla seam binding with the same spritzer and added the ribbon to the card.  Want to create this card and learning more spritzing techniques?  Join me tonight for tonight's technique class!  Order your supplies here.

Cardstock:  Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (who says it's just Halloween paper?!)

Gift Cards Holder

I was in gift card holder mode last night as I prepare for my kids' last day of school.  I found this idea on our demo share website to use the scallop envelope inside a long card to create 3 pockets for gift cards.  It's exactly what I needed...a spot for 3 gift cards :)  I created two different ones since one child has a male teacher and the other child has a female teacher.  Here are my creations :)

Now the kids just have to sign the insides.  They are perfect :)  They would be great to use as birthday cards, as well!
