Hostess Happy Birthday

I was playing with some Hostess Sets to make a cute birthday card recently.  I like those cakes and the bold lines of the sentiments.  The two are from different sets, but equally fun.  Hope you have a thrilling Thursday.

Birthday Gratitude

Here's another birthday card using the Day of Gratitude stamp set and the lovely Autumn Spice paper.  Again, it's a simple design with some interesting colors.  Quick and easy when you need a card in a pinch.  I'm enjoying that Victoria Crochet Trim.  It adds just enough texture to things.  Happy Wednesday!

Birthday in Green and Mustard

Here's a study in Woodland Walk.  I needed a birthday card for the church auction bunch, so I came up with this interesting scheme.  The two Chocolate Chip scallop squares are in relief while the Crumb Cake scallope square is on top of the Wild Wasabi paper.  Just different.

Just Believe Thank You

The Just Believe Stamp Set has been on my list since the new catalog came out in July.  I love the lines of the flowers and the font of the sentiments.  I can't wait to play with it more.  Here's the first card I came up with.  That sentiment could easily be changed out for a "get well soon" or a "with sympathy."  I love the versatility of the images here.  Colors highlight the In-Color group (again...)  Enjoy your Wednesday.
Stamps: Just Believe (clear mount)
Ink: Pear Pizzaz (classic pad and marker), Concord Crush (classic pad and marker)
Paper:  Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, Concord Crush
Accessories: Punches Decorative Label and Modern Label, Jewels Rhinestones, dimensionals

Birthday Redux For Tuesday

Recognize this card?  It's similar to one I posted in July, but with a different color scheme and sentiment.  (Be sure to go back and look!)  This time I used the Designer Series Paper Woodland Walk.  I love those Garden Green and Very Vanilla bubbles on one of the patterns.  Nothing super fancy here, just Punches and the Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Elegant Lines.  Enjoy your Tuesday.
Stamps: Curly Cute
Ink: Garden Green
Paper: Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabii, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, Designer Series Paper Woodland Walk
Accessories:  Big Shot, Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Elegant Lines, Butterfly Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Christmas Card #6: Favorite For Last

I saved my favorite of the designs for last.  I love Dasher.  It's such a sweet stamp.  I thought the swirl of his antlers matched the lovely Cherry Cobler swirl pattern on the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper.  The circle punch is from the Holiday Mini Catalog, too it's 2.5" and perfect for around Dasher.  I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and an Antique Brad. 
Stamps: Dasher, Curly Cute
Ink: Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Designer Series Paper Deck the Halls
Accessories: Punch 2-1/2" circle, Antique Brads, 1/2-inch Seam Binding Cherry Cobbler, Dimensionals. (Note: scallop circle is a die from my personal collection, it is 2-5/8" or so in diameter so it fits the circle)

Christmas Card Number 5

I love snowflakes.  Naturally, I had to include one in my Christmas card designs.   The only stamping in this one uses the Perfect Punches set.  The Specialty Designer Series Paper Candy Cane Christmas, from the current Holiday Mini catalog, provided the jumping-off point color-wise.  Happy November 1!
Stamps: Perfect Punches
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Designer Series Specialty Paper Candy Cane Christmas
Accessories:  Big Shot, Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Emobssing Folder Northern Flurry, Stampin' Up!
