Birthday Wishes


I forget where I saw a card similar to this, probably on one of the several blogs I like to look at.
I thought this card made a really nice Mother's Day card so all I did was replace the birthday wishes with Happy Mothers day! Each layer on this card is popped up using Dimensionals.

To make this card;

Stamps - Just Believe (birthday wishes is from a retired SAB set)
C/S - Rich Razzelberry, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White
Ink - Lucky Limeade and Rich Razzelberry
Other - Lucky Limeade Ribbon, Brads, Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, Dimensionals and Flower Trio Punch

Party Favors


I created these favors for one of my demonstrator get togethers. They would make great favors for Bridal Showers, Weddings and Baby Showers. These are made using 2 tags from the Two Tags Die. I even decorated the mini Hersey chocolates inside the tags. I wrapped each one with DSP and put a flower and pearl on top. I stuck a small piece of sticky strip on the bottom to make sure the chocolates would not fall out.

To make this favor;

Stamps - Tiny Tags
C/S - Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White
Ink - Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo
Big Shot - Two Tags, Blossom Party and Elegant Lines TIEF
Other - Lucky Limeade Ribbon, Green Rhinestone, Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine, Jewelry Tag   Punch, Punch Pack punches, Boho Blossoms Punch, Sponges and clear Blocks

Roar!


Here is another really cute boy birthday card! My son enjoyed making one with me to to give to one of his friends. I know, Concord Crush just retired but it would easily be substituted for Elegant Eggplant. I did decide to add a brad to the end of each purple strip after I took this photo, it finished it off! I chose to use one of my bigger clear mount blocks and then stuck both the dinosaur and the saying on it so I could stamp them at the same time and have them lined up just right.

To make this card;

Stamps - Dinoroar
C/S - Lucky Limeade, Concord Crush and WHisper White
Ink - StazOn Black, Lucky Limeade and Concord Crush
TI Embossing Folder - Square Lattice
Other - Dimensionals and Pewter Brads

I will miss Crazy for Cupcakes!



Crazy for cupcakes was probably my most used birthday sets, I did all sorts of different things with this set and I will miss using it in my clubs and classes. 
One of my fellow demonstrators made this style of card for our last get together so I thought I would give it a try. You will have to send me your blog Lisa so I can link it to my page and then everyone can see your card! I have wanted to make a card like this but I just haven't seemed to have the time to figure it out, I was surprised how simple it is. I will post the measurements at a later date with instructions on how to make it.

To make this card;

Stamps - Crazy for Cupcakes
C/S - Perfect Plum and Whisper White  or Island Indigo and Whisper White
Ink - StazOn Black, Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Crumb Cake and Island Indigo OR Perfect  Plum
TI Embossing Folder - Elegant Lines or Elegant Bouquet

Happy Dirt Day!


I love this stamp set! 
I think maybe it is because I used to operate equipment like this and I also have two boys who love heavy equipment. I made two versions of this card, one with presents and one with the dirt pile in the box of the dump truck. I chose to pop up the dump truck using dimensionals so it looked like it was further out than the Excavator. I just ripped the Chocolate Chip Card Stock to make it look rough. I also sponged all edges so that the card looked dirty! :)

To make this card;

Stamps - I Dig You!
C/S - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, and Whisper White
Ink - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Basic Black, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive
Other - Sponges and Dimensionals
I Dig You!

Father's Day Scrapbook pages



I made these Father's Day pages last year and I finally stuck my pictures down this year. I don't know why I have such a hard time sticking my pictures down, it's not like its that hard to order new pictures if I don't like the way my pages turned out.

The Totally Tool stamp set is another set I really like and it will also be retiring at the end of this catalogue. This is my most used man stamp set, I have made all sorts of projects for my husband, dad and clubs with it. I hope that it gets replaced with another awesome man set!
