Assistant's Day Thank You Cards


 Today's card was made using Stampin Up! French Foliage, Field Flowers and Itty Bitty Banners. I used Sycamore Street designer paper as well as the Scallop Trim Border Punch and some Stitched Midnight Muse ribbon. Cardstock is Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse. Ink is Midnight Muse. 


These cards were a special order for my brother-in-laws assistants at his church. He wanted an initial of each lady and a verse on each card. I used Soft Sky, Certainly Celery and Almost Amythyst cardstock. The sentiment is computer generated. The punch is by MS. I also used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder and embellished the cards with a bunch of Stampin Up! pearls.

One Layout - Two Different Cards



My first card today was made with the StampIn Up! set called Bells and Boughs. I used Copic markers to color the image and I sponged A mixture of So Saffron, More Mustard and Yoyo Yellow ink on top of a splatter background stamp and the sentiment. The sentiment is embellished with small rhinestones. Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler and Wild Wasabi. I cut the opening with a Labels framelit die and used an embossing folder after that. I added a small piece of designer paper behind the opening.


My second card is a little simpler. I needed a quick thank-you card so I used Chocolate Chip, Poppy Parade and Creamy Caramel cardstock on this card. Sentiment is from the Stampin Up! set Watercolor Trio. I added some flowers and a button for embellishment.

Praying For You Floral Card

Today's card is another simple layout but with elements that give it a little more wow-factor. I added some vintage lace and I glued a crystal on a bronze brad to give it a little bling! I used two Stampin Up! sets - Thoughts and Prayers and Embrace Life.

Stamps: Embrace Life, Thoughts & Prayers
Paper: Chocolate chip, Pixie Pink
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 1, Decorative labels 1, Brad, rhinestone, vintage lace, copic marker, dimensionals

Full Sheet Eagle Scout Cake


I stayed up until 4 am working on this cake. It is the first time I have made a full sheet. I am so glad it is finally done. Now I want a Cricut Cake. It would have save hours even if it was just for the lettering. Sorry I didn't get to post yesterday. The day really got away from me!


Today's card was made using the Stampin Up! set Betsy's Blossoms. This is a great set and this card was so easy. I stamped the blossoms in Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie on some patterned paper. I added some River rock ribbon, lace and rhinestones to give it some personality. I used Crumb Cake and Melon Mambo cardstock - two of my go-to colors.

Selling Scout Popcorn Scrapbook Page



Here is one of my layouts for my son's Boy Scout album. This is one of the easier layouts. I used Stampin Up! Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Whisper White and More Mustard Cardstock. I cut the popcorn out of So Saffron and Whisper White paper. I inked the edges of the white in So Saffron ink so it looks like butter. Check back later for more scrapbook pages to come.

Rosey You Are Loved Card


Well, I am finally back! It has been longer than I thought but I finally finished all the wedding invitations for Jennifer and Elizabeth and scrapbook pages for my ds Daniel. I will be posting the invitations soon along with a few of the pages.

Today's card was done using the Stampin Up! stamp set called  
You Are Loved. The sentiment stamp coordinates with the Stampin Up! 
Decorative Label Punch. I used Rose Red ink and Paper also with Very Vanilla paper. The decorative oval was made using Vary Vanilla paper with my Cricut that I got for Christmas.

My goal is to post 365 cards between June 22, 2012 and June 21, 2013. I have a long way to go so I may be posting more than one card daily for a while. I have gotten quite a few new sets since the first of the year so I will have plenty of inspiration!
