St Paddy's

I can't get the colors to show the right way... The base is Old Olive, then Really Rust and whisper white. The hat is Garden Green, the beard is Pumpkin Pie. I'm not into St Patricks day so I haven't bought a stamp set for it. I thought I'd make a card using punches. It really does look better in real life.

Trying to decide...


This could be a Wedding or an Anniversary card. The bottom heart is punched from the Tastes of Textiles paper pack, the top is card stock Vellum with Mr and Mrs stamped on it. I'm still trying to decide what to stamp below the Ribbon. Any ideas?

Lovely as a Tree- Leaves


This card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" I tore the upper part of the Old Olive card Front off, the layered pieces with the oak leave stand above the torn off area. Very Vanilla lines the inside of the card and shows where I tore off the top. Really Rust was used in the layerings.

Voila- As a card


This is the last thing I made with the stamp set. I paper pieced the pant and neckerchief with the Riding Hood Red designer paper. Watercolored the rest. Easy card and fun to make.

Thank You- Black and White and Red all Over


Shaving Cream Thank You, I used all 3 red reinkers on this But found that you could not tell the difference between it and the one I did with just Riding Hood Red. I used markers on the thank you from the under $10 section in the catalog.

1/2 sheet Heartfelt Thanks

This card only uses 1/2 a sheet of card stock. No other paper was used on the card. I tore off part of the card front, sponged the torn edge, turned the torn edge around, attached the straight edge behind the torn card front. Easy card to make.

Voila- trivet

Are you tired of him yet? I stamped him with stazon and painted him with craft ink, let him dry than sprayed him with a sealer. I made one for my daughter for Christmas, this one I made for me. This will be part of my Wednesday stampings in February.

A Flower for All Seasons- lady bug

Another shaving cream back ground... my son needed a cover sheet for a portfolio for school, he asked if I would help him, these are the colors he chose. Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango,and Riding Hood Red. After I did his I made a few sheets on whisper White. I'm teaching this at my next club, just haven't decided colors, stamp set, layout...:).

Fun & Fast Notes-baby


Boy and girl baby cards, the designer paper was retired but I had cut 20 of each for my January 20 cards 20 designs Wednesday Stampin'. I decided that I would just let them stay until January 30. So one more Wednesday to go. The designer paper for both of these cards came from the Banbury pack (I'm really sad to see these go) the colors are Boy- Bashful Blue and Close to Cocoa, the girl- Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery. There is a small colored safety pin pinned through each ribbon. Oops they retired this ribbon too:). These cards could be done with Tea Party or Bella Birds.
