Blessed Easter

DSCF3179
We made this card for our club this past time.  We stamped the image in clear VersaMark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder.  I used the blender pens and a few springy colors to color the image.  Since the image was white on white, I used my sponge to take some Marina Mist ink and highlighted the greeting.

Make a Wish birthday card

DSCF3178
I CASEd this card from Andrea Walford over at the Papercrafter’s Library.  I loved the color combo and the bright rainbow feel of the dots.  While I didn’t use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to keep everything nice and straight, I thought it turned out okay for just stamping the rainbow of colors! 
I stamped the stars in Crushed Curry and used my old small star punch to punch out the stars.  Easy peasy and bright and cheery!  Great for a guy or gal. Product List

Sweet Sorbet scrapbook page

DSCF3176
We all just adore this Sweet Sorbet 12X12 paper that is available as a Sale-a-bration item.  That was the base for our last scrapbook page.  I went with a grid look, using nine 3-inch squares for the background.  I put all of my stamps I wanted to use from the Countless Sayings photopolymer stamp set on one big block for my main image.  I colored each of the parts with separate markers for a multi-color look that was very easy to achieve!

And here is what my finished page looks like.  How can you not love that adorable little face?!  I can’t believe he just turned two!  Product List

Hip, Hip Hooray Card Kit

IMG_2035
I just adore the latest kit from Stampin’ Up, called Hip, Hip Hooray.   The kit is so economical!  Everything you need is included – 20 precut notecards and envelopes, sticker sheets, Stampin’ Dimensionals, stamps, and ink! 
The best part about kits like this or My Paper Pumpkin is that you have ideas that you can put together in literally minutes, but you don’t have to be stuck in that box! 
For instance, my mom recently ordered this kit.  When she came to see me this weekend, she said, “I need a wedding card.”  My first thought was, hey what are we waiting for!  No dilemma here – we have a kit, we have ideas to get us started….let’s go!  She didn’t like the sentiments in the kit for a wedding…no problem!  I have a gazillion – we just swiped a sentiment from One in a Million and we had a sentiment for this inside and the outside of the card.  Literally 5 minutes, people!  $1 for this card AND it is hand made!!!!  Can I say, WIN!  Product List
