Sassy Challenge

I have just added a card to the latenightstampers group challenge called Sassy. These are cards that are clean and simple and can be used as a Stamp-A-Stack card. This is a card Iused as a stamp-a-stack card. It is very masculine which I am often challenged to do. I used, Sahara Sand, Basic Black, Whisper White and ribbon. I also used the JUMBO EYELET. The stamp set is one of my favorites because of its versatility...One of a Kind.

Wedding Invitation

This is the final of the wedding invitations I did for a friend/co-worker. It was a labor of love and she compesated me well for it. She is having a location wedding out of the country and wanted beach like colors. I think it turned out so well and she is getting lots of comments about them on the return notes! I used Sahara Sand for the base, layered that with Baja Breeze and finally I used a cloudy vellum. I printed directly on the vellum and tied it all together with 1" organdy ribbon. Thanks for looking.

Another Easter Card

My stamper's club made an Easter card last night that I thought I would share with you. We used the set, An Egg-Cellent Easter, that is available as a preview purchase in the new Occasions mini catalog. This is how we made it: The card is Pirouette Pink, the Scalloped layer was done using the designer paper that can be earned FREE during Sale-A-Bration that ends on March 31st. We scalloped the edge using the scallop border punch. Then we layered over that a piece of barely banana and bashful blue cardstock. We stamped the bunny twice, colored the eggs and used the Coluzzle to cut the circle. The second bunny was colored and cut out and placed over the circle. We used the "hoppy easter" stamp and stamped onto the barely banana Sale-A-Bration ribbon. We colored all the images using the Stampin' Write markers. I thought it turned out so cute!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Whether you are Irish or not, isn't it fun to celebrate holidays? I made this pen following the instructions from a fellow demonstrator, Kimberly Morris, from her blog posting. Isn't he the cutest? I also shared this pen project with my $15 club last night and they had a blast making them. It is all done with punches! I have made a whole bunch to share with co-workers and may sell some for $3 each at the school where I work. I changed Kimberly's design only slightly by using the rhinestone brads for the green eyes. Enjoy!

An Egg-cellent Easter Card

Here is an Easter card I made using one of the new sets that can be pre-ordered from the Occasions Mini catalog. I made it for the Late Night Stampers challenge. It is very basic but the challenge was a sketch. I used the Soft Subtles colors of Bashful Blue & Barely Banana with one of the In colors - Pink Pirouette. I used the Basic Black ink and colored the eggs using the Stampin' Write markers. I used Dazzling Diamonds on the eggs (although it does not show up too well in the photo). The DSP and the ribbon is from the Sale-A-Bration paper stack you can get FREE with a $50 order. Contact me for more information.
