Moon Baby

I  have been practicing with the new Stampin' Blends, this time with Moon Baby. Cardstock is Night of Navy, So Saffron and Whisper White. I  stamped the image with Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock then used Night of Navy, Pool Party, Ivory, Daffodil Delight, Bronze, and Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends to color the image. I used the Lucky Stars embossing folder on the So Saffron cardstock. I felt it needed something so I added a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

WWC100 - Celebration theme (Anything Goes)

What better thing to celebrate then a birth of a new baby!

I used a stamp set from the new Occasions Catalog called Moon Baby. I pared it with the Lucky Stars Textured Embossing Folder and the colors So Saffron and Dapper Denim. I am excited to have watercoloring pencils in Stampin Up! colors! The pencils work well with the Blender Pens.

Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post.

Big Day Shaker Card

I had fun making a birthday shaker card.

From the Herd

Still playing with From the herd. This image was supposed to be for the card I used in our Wacky Watercolor Blog Hop, I was in a hurry and cut it too small for the frame, so I colored another and was going to throw this one away when I saw the sketch #169 for Freshly Made Sketches. This is the card I missed linking by 3 minutes that I spoke of last week.

So here is the card I made with my mess up

You may have hopped to my blog from my friend Marsha's blog, Marsha and I have been part of a couple different blog hops and I enjoy seeing her take on a project.

For the favorite past project part of our blog hop we are CASEing a hop members creation from last years Occasions/Sale-a-bration projects. I am CASEing Stefanie Pletscher I chose this card from last year.
Here is my CASE.

Ink: VesaMark, Metallic Gold Encore & Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pads, Burmuda Bay and Calypso Coral Blendabilities

I think one of my favorite stamps is From the Herd.

I made two cards for our hop using the same stamp- A favorite Anything goes.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Bronze, Natural, Ivory, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities, Cherry Cobbler & Night of Navy Marker

With the word bubble, after I cut it out but before I took the Framelit off the paper I used a Project Life Pen to trace around the inside of the Framelit. I  stamped and colored parts of a second image, cut it out and used Dimensionals to pop parts of the image up. For his hat I used a Dimensional in the center and a Glue Dot on each side of it so that it curves.

But- Hey, Valentine isn't just for Valentines!

Stamps: Hey, Valentine & Label Love

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy & Crushed Curry

Itty Bitty Banners- Thank You

I know I have mentioned it before but I have had a great need for thank you cards this year.  It has been a year full of surgeries for my husband and myself.  In February my husband had total knee replacements for both his knees. June I had both of my knee scoped, September I had a partial rotator cuff tear repaired as well as a spur removed and two of the bones shaved down in my right shoulder. Next month I'll have my left shoulder done. Through out all of the recoveries we have had many friends and neighbors help us out, we have had many meals brought to us. Thus the need for Thank you cards.

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Baked Brown Sugar and Crisp Cantaloupe
Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake CS and Lullaby DSP
Misc: Tea Time Doilies, Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Bakers Twine, Lucky Stars Embossing Folder
