April Shower Springtime Hop

I have missed the last couple of hops that my friends have done, so I am happy I was able to hop this time.  We officially start at 9 pm. You may have hopped over from my friend Marsha's blog, I am sure that you enjoyed seeing her projects.
I made two cards today. The first card uses two stamp sets- Blooming with Kindness and Made for You.

• The card base is Very Vanilla, I used Delicate Designs Embossing Folder on the bottom edge.
• On a piece of Canvas Creations I repeatedly stamped the image from Blooming with Kindness in Rose Red. I used the Large Scallop Edgelit on the bottom edge. I layered it onto the Rose Red CS, then onto the card base.
• On a scrap of canvas I stamped the flower again in Rose Red and the I stamped the phrase from Made for You in Raspberry Ripple. I used the Large Oval Punch to punch it out. I punched a scrap of Rose Red with the Scallop Oval Punch attached it to the card front then popped the phrase up with Dimensioals on the scalloped oval.

The second card uses Wonderful Mother, Hearts a Flutter and the Artisan Embellishment Kit.

• The card base is Marina Mist,
• I used pieces from the Artisan Embellishment kit on this card.  I added the dollie first.
• On a scrap of Primrose Petals  I stamped the heart from Hearts a Flutter in Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder then cut it with the Hearts a Flutter Framelit. I added it next.
• On the tag from the kit I Stamped the phrase from Wonderful Mother in Raspberry Ripple and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. I added it over the dollie and heart.
• Next I popped the tag up with Dimensionals.
• I Layered the two laces next with Sticky Strip from the kit. I then added Midnight Muse Ribbon over it again using Sticky Strip.
• The button from the kit came next, then a Vintage Faceted Designer Button and a Large Pearl Jewel.

Your next stop is to my friend Jeans blog. I hope you enjoy your visits along our hop.

A simple card for a little girl.  We made this card in my Cuddles and Kisses class. I suggested leaving the inside blank and waiting until it was needed to add a sentiment, I think it could be a baby card, a birthday card, a baptism card or a just because card.

• The card base is Crumb Cake CS with the phrase from Cuddles and Kisses stamp on Melon Mamba stamped in the lower corner.
• I ran two strips of Crumb Cake CS through the Big Shot cutting one edge with the Large Scallop Edgelit(you can run two layers through at a time) I then ran each strip through in the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder.
• I ran a 3 1/8" strip of Melon Mamba CS through the Big Shot cutting both edges with the Edgelit.
• I layer the Crumb Cake pieces onto the Melon Mamba piece and wrapped a strip of Melon Mamba Scallop Dot Ribbon over the seam.
• The flower is Whisper White CS cut with the Blossom Party Die. the centers were punches from scraps of CS with the 1/2" circle punch and the circle punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. The leaves are from the Bird Builder Punch.
• The butterfly from Papillon Potpourri was stamp in Melon Mamba on to Vellum CS and punched with the coordinating punch.

So there you have it, a cute card for a little girl.

As I mentioned in an earlier post I was helping a friend with her bulliton board at church, as well as making a document for and upcoming punch art class on flowers. Here are some pictures of the completed board.

Vintage Verses

So my box from Stampin' UP! came yesterday and I was able to spend some time in my stamp room. Here is one of the cards I made.

I used products from the main catalog as well as from the Spring and Sale a bration catalogs.

• The card base is Naturals White with the bottom ran through the Big Shot with one of the folders from  Delicate Designs Folders then the bottom was cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit.
• I ran a piece of Pretty in Pink through the Big Shot in the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder(carried over to the Spring catalog) I layered it on a piece of Lucky Limeade.
• I stamped the phrase from Vintage Verses(Sale-a-brations) in Island Indigo onto a piece of Naturals White and cut it with a framelit in the Hearts a Flutter set.
• The flags were cut from Tea for Two DSP using framelits from Hearts a Flutter and Itty Bitty Banners.
• The Brad is my favorite from the Vintage Brads.

There it is my first card back from about a month of no stamping. I hope you are as excited as I am for the new year and the new catalogs.
