Bridal Shower Card

One of my co-workers is having a bridal shower for one of her friends this weekend and asked me to make her a bridal shower card.  The colors the bride selected is royal blue, so I broke out Stampin' Up's Pacific Point" inkpad and went to work.  I found a really cute card from Stampin Sweet with Boni and so I CASEd it, altering it slightly.  It turned out so cute ... take a look:

Recipe:

Paper:  pacific point, whisper white, brights dsp, silver glimmer paper, marina mist

Ink:  pacific blue

Stamps:  teeny tiny wishes

Accessories:  scallop circle die, boho blossoms punch, bitty banners framelit, basic rhinestones, white satin ribbon

She absolutely loved the card, and I'm so glad.  I thought it was adorable, and I sure hope the bride likes it too.

I also made some tent cards & banners for the frames the bridesmaids will be using for the shower this weekend.  I'll post those tomorrow so you can see how cute they turned out.  

Until then,  thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!

Jar of Frogs

Did you ever think of frogs in a mason jar?  No, me either.  But ... here's a card we made at one of my upline's card classes last weekend.  It's just so cute.  I never thought I would have fun with the froggies ... but they're just so cute.  Look at them jumping all over, trying to get out of the jar.  And guess what ... there's no lid.  You just might find one hopping around your house as he found his way out of the jar!

Cute, isn't it?  I love it, along with the colors.  I hope you do too.  Until tomorrow, be happy!

Baltimore Regionals Swap - 5

Yes, I'm going in backwards order in the way I photographed the swap cards I received at Regionals, but that makes it interesting, doesn't it?  Here's the first, or last batch of photographs I took of the swaps.

So stay tuned, there's more.  I hope you get some inspiration from them - there's a lot of good stuff coming your way.

Have a wonderful, sunny day!

My Baltimore Regional Swap Card

Here is the card I made to swap at the Baltimore Regionals this past Saturday, April 13.  I had a lot of fun coming up with the design, and by the time I finished the 44th card, I was tired of gray.  ha ha ha.  I didn't come home with any, though.  That's a plus - I came home with pretty swaps from the other gals at the regional.  Here's mine, and later in the week, I'll share the other swaps I received.

Recipe:

Paper:  basic gray, basic black, real red, crumb cake, whisper white, silver glimmer paper

Ink:  real read

Stamp Set:  ciao, baby

Accessories:  petite curly label, word window, fancy brocade EF, perfect polka dots EF, itty bitty punch pack, delicate doily, cupcake builder punch, small oval punch, dress up framelits, basic rhinestones

I hope you like it.  I'm crazy for the entire dress up ensemble!  If you don't have it, it's a must.  There's so much you can do with it.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping!

Coloring Down the Lines - Cherry Cobbler

Welcome back this week to our Coloring Down the Lines blog hop.  This week's challenge was to design a card around Cherry Cobbler and Riding Hood Red.  Now, cherry cobbler has been one of my all time favorite regal colors, however, this combination is not my favorite.  I see that Carol didn't have trouble coming up with something sweet, as always, but me ... well, I'm just not thrilled with mine.  Here it is:

.Recipe:

Paper:  cherry cobbler, riding hood red, whisper white

Ink:  riding hood red

Stamp Set:  a round array

Accessories:  fancy fan EF, perfect polka dots EF, piercing punch pack, basic pearls, cherry cobbler tulle, apothecary accents framelits

I think it's a little hard to distinguish between the cherry cobbler and the riding hood red, so I'll tell you that the base is cherry cobbler, and so is the tulle ribbon / bow.  Everything else is riding hood red.  

Now, let's hop on over to see what Joni made using this color combo.  She always has a "WOW" card too.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping!

Patterned Occasions - Speedy Recovery

Here's a card I made for one of my co-workers who had surgery.  I was looking for a card with a masculine flair and found one on Stampin Connection.  Thanks to Cindee Wilkinson, I CASED the card, with just a color changeup.  I hope my co-worker likes the card, and he's back to work soon.

Recipe:

Paper:  basic gray, very vanilla, print poetry dsp

Ink:  crumb cake, real red

Stamp Set:  patterned occasions

Accessories:  ovals framelits, perfect polka dot EF, 1/8" black ribbon

Hope you like it.  Stay tuned ... I'll be posting my SWAPS from the Baltimore Regionals soon.  Have a great day.

You Are My Sunshine Chalkboard Card

I made another card using the "You Are My Sunshine" stamp,  and it's rather nice.  There's a lot you can do with the stamp, and here's another one ...

The bright background in daffodil delight makes the black stand out nice and bright.   The card was then topped off with three large rhinestones.  

Hope you like it.  Thanks for your comments!
