Happiest Birthday Wishes

I CASEd myself this time, here is a link to the card I CASEd http://kath-allthatscrap.blogspot.com/2010/08/after-thoughts-hostess-level-1.html and here is my new card

I added this card to the Tuesday Stamping Buffet.

• Card base is Lucky Limeade with the greeting from the Hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes was stamped on the base in Early Espresso.
• The cake is made with the following punches: 1", 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punches, tapered and corners rounded, Pinking Hearts Border punch, Cupcake Builder punch(candles) on a plate make with the Scallop Oval punch
• The middle cake layer was ran through the Big Shot in the Starburst embossing folder.
• CS used: Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Regal Rose, and Daffodil Delight.
• I added Dazzling Details to the candle flames.

I put this stamp set on my wish list when it came out last July, I finally bought it last month. This card was one of my "Card Buffet" cards(you can come over every Tuesday and stamp cards ate $2 each to make, make as many as you would like), I made this as a Birthday card but the sentiment could(and was) change for any occasion.

• Card base is Marina Mist, then each layer is 1/4" smaller then the last, in order- Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo and Whisper White.
• The flowers are two step stamping. First layer was Marina Mist second layer Not Quite Navy. The stems are Old Olive.
• My phrase is from Petite Pairs, one of my favorites to use, I stamped it in Not Quite Navy.
• I used a Daffodil Delight marker to "dot" the flower centers.

I love the blues and yellows together!

Uncharted Territory- reflection

This is the card we made for my reflection class, it was a little easier to make then the Lovely as a Tree card from my last post.

• The card base is Not Quite Navy.
• The Top Note die was used to cut a Cherry Cobbler and a Naturals White, I trimmed the Naturals  White along the dotted line that the die cuts into the Top Note.
• I colored the sailboat stamp with markers, I used Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, and More Mustard. and stamped it on the top half of the Top Note, I recolored the stamp but lest the sun uncolored and stamped it on a Window Sheet, flipped it over and pressed the image below the stamped boat.
• I lightly sponged Marina Mist over the water.
• I stamped Happy Birthday from Create a Cupcake in Cherry Cobbler on a 3/4" strip of paper I layered it onto a 1" strip of Not Quite Navy and wrapped it around the Top Note.
• Last I added the Top Note to my base.

Yep, Another Elebration Card!

This was the first Elebration card I made, I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to post it.

• Card base is River Rock with a front of DSP called Cheerful Treat, it is one of the Hostess Selections.
• Elebration was stamped with Stazon on Watercolor Paper and colored with Markers and an Aqua Painter. Colors used Basic Gray, River Rock, Crushed Concord, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Pretty in Pink. The phrases I used  are from Petite Pairs, the first one was stamped directly on the Watercolor Paper with Melon Mambo.
• The image was layered onto Crushed Concord then onto Melon Mambo then onto the card front.
• The second phrase was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White and punched out with the Small Oval Punch it was layered onto a die cut from the Matchbox die cut from Concord Crush.

So there you go. Have a great day and enjoy some time stamping.

Six days left in the Summer Mini!

Crazy for Cup Cakes plus the Hostess Set from the Summer Mini Swirls & Curls Verses

• The card base is Pear Pizazz with a front of Concord Crush, then Daffodil Delight, then Whisper White.
• On the Whisper White layer I stamped the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes with Stazon.
• On Watercolor Paper I stamped just the balloon part six times with Stazon. and then colored them Pear Pizazz, Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Pacific Point. I cut each balloon out and started layering them on the previously stamped balloons, popping the center one up with Dimensionals.
• I stamped the happy birthday from Swirls and Curls Verses in Stazon on a strip of Whisper White that I ribbon cut the ends of. I colored the two balloons with a Blender Pen and ink. I then layered it on Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and then Concord Crush.
• Finally I added the layered phrase onto the front of my card.

SO the Summer Mini is coming to an end and if there is any sets that you are interested in call or email me with your order before we say good bye to them :).

• The little game is made with the Treat Cups and BB's (stole them from my son)  The monkey was stamped onto Whisper White that I punched out with the 1 3/4" circle punch. I also punched 2 more circles and layered all three on top of each other. I then punched 4 holes with the crop a dile into the circle. This was then layered onto the largest Circle punch.  The BB's were place in each hole and the Treat Cup was added over it.  A 1 3/4" circle was punch into CS with the large Scallop Circle punched around it. This covered up the edges of the Treat Cup.

So for a cute childs birthday ensumble this is a great one to make.

Simple- Sail Away

I want to share a simple and fast card using Sail Away from the Summer Mini

• The card base is Not Quite Navy with a front of DSP Nautical Expedition(also in the Summer Mini).
• For the image I used Whisper White. I  inked up Block size D with Marina Mist ink and pressed the block to the paper. I inked up the boat in Not Quite Navy and stamped it in the block outline. The image was layered onto Cherry Cobbler CS and added to the front.
• The Happy Birthday is from Create a Cupcake(here's hoping it is in the New catalog) stamped on Whisper White with NQN, punched with the Word Window and layered onto a Cherry Cobbler Modern Label, then it was popped up with Dimensionals and added to the front. 

A fast and easy card!
I'm hoping you all find time to stamp something today. . .

A Little Bit of Magic- Gift Set

My Granddaughter had a birthday party to go to yesterday, it was a "Fairy Party" so this is the gift we made for the birthday girl.

I covered a large and a small composition book with Barely Banana CS(retired) on the front cover of the large one I embossed the small fairy image with versamark and a retired embossing powder Hologram, using the same embossing on the small the image I used was the fairy dust. The binding on the books is a piece of designer paper from Tea Party.

I stamped the main images on water color paper with Stazon and colored the with markers and an Aqua Painter, I matted the large image on Pretty in Pink, added the girls name in Almost Amethyst(retiring) and matted it again on Almost Amethyst. The small image is matted only on Almost Amethyst.

The tin holds crayons, I embossed the small fairy all over the top with the Hologram embossing powder. The gift was a hit with everyone that attended and mainly with the birthday girl!

Happy Birthday

A very simple card to highlight the Well Scripted Stamp set. Colors are from the Cottage Wall designer paper, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive, I used the large oval punch and to mat the phrase, I used the big shot and the label off the matchbox die.

Anyone interested in photos of my stamping room? I took a ton of them yesterday.

Beware Pirates

This is another card that looks better in real life (New Years goal... learn to take better pictures).The card base is Dusty Durango with To the Nines Specialty paper. The two images were first stamped with VersaMark then with Sahara Sand them embossed with clear embossing powder. The ARRRRR is Dusty Durango inside I used "Party Hearty" from Party Hearty.

Happy New Year! Loads of Fun

Loads of Fun was on my want list as soon as it came out. My friend and her family are big time snowmobilers, so I made this with her in mind. The colors are taken from the designer paper, the paper is Autumn Traditions. The phrases are from Hope Happens and On Your Birthday.

Colors used on this card. More Mustard, Ruby Red, Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke on Soft Suede.

b is for birthday

I like this card! The designer paper is from Bella Rose and Candy Lane They are matted on Close to Cocoa and Riding Hood Red. I used Pretty in Pink, Close to Cocoa, and Ruby Red markers to color the stamp, before stamping it on Whisper White. I used a Rhinestone Brad in the center of the flower and ties the narrow band of paper with the double side Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon.

I thought this was a fun boys card (big or little). I water colored the truck with watercolor wonder crayons, distressed the edges of both the image, mat, and bottom of the card front.

Card base is Close to Cocoa, matting is Real Red, image is stamped with stazon on watercolor paper
