Quilted Happy Birthday

Hey there!

Wow! Summer sure has kept me busy!! I have really been missing my stamping time. Especially with the new catalog out, and all of the new colors, and ribbons, and stamp sets.... I really just want to sit for days and stamp!.. but I can't. I did manage to free up an hour today to make a card I had floating around in my head. I was inspired by a quilt that we have in our extra bed room. I thought the new Dotted Scallp Ribbon Border punch looked like lace, so I sponged the edges and crumbled it up to give it a vintage feel. I used three new colors on this one, two In Colors... Poppy Parade, and Peach Parfait, and I also used the new Daffodil Delight.. which I totally love!!! I thought it was missing some 'real' ribbon, so I threw in some Pear Pizzaz ribbon. I am in LOVE with the new In Color ribbon!!! ... so soft. I hope you enjoy checking out my latest card. The colors are a little bit wild for me, but it's all about color this year, so I figured, why not! Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You

Hey there!

I've got a new card for you today. I CASEd this cute little card from the Stampin' Success (pg 14 for the demos out there). I have been playing around with a bunch of new color combos with all of the new colors coming out. I am loving them so much! I can't wait for the release of the new catalog on JULY 1st! The butterflies are certainly celery, marina mist and cherry cobbler. I really love the deep red of cherry cobler. I have to admit.... ever since I got my pre order paper of early espresso.. I haven't even touched Chocolate Chip! Never thought that would ever happen! Now I just need to stock up on a new stash of ribbons in all of the new colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

Because I Care - Thank You

Elegant Eggplant has been taking over my thoughts lately. I am not sure that I have ever used that color, but for some reason I am in love with it now! Maybe because it is sort of a vintagey purple.

First invite all of your friends to your house for a fun Stampin' Up! workshop! Then I will come with supplies in hand and teach you and your friends how to make some beautiful cards. In order for you to earn a free set like Because I care, you and your friends needs to place an order totaling $150.. and YOU, the hostess, gets to choose from 6 sets to have for FREE!

Razzleberry Birthday

Hey there!

Oh, it sure does feel good to make a card. I spent all week getting my to do list done so that I can have the whole day to get paper crafty! The timing couldn't have been better. I got my *new* 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog along with my preorder papers (new In Colors and new Core Colors), and a whole new wave of inspiration came over me. I made this card for a special birthday girl. Vintage is so *in* these days, so I thought I would do a vintage card. It is a very simple card. I have made a few very similar to this. I think it is just a great go-to card for any occassion (for a girl that is). Once again.. going with the sewing machine stitching. Gotta love that! I hope you enjoy todays card. Thanks for stopping by!
