Birthday Butterflies

Can you guess my new favorite embossing folders? Yep, the Honeycomb and Clouds embossing folders. I can't seem to stop using them! So, I used the BOTH on this card:) It may be hard to see, but the labels framelit is embossed with the cloud embossing folder. Another favorite of mine is the small butterfly punch. It is perfect for punching the small butterflies in Papillon Potpourri and layers with the big butterfly punch. The designer paper is from the Floral District pack.

I am home today with a sick kid, which means I have a day off:) So, I better quit playing with my stamps and get some cleaning and items on my "to-do" list done....not fun, but necessary.

I'm linking this card up to Seize the Birthday #1.

Patterns, Patterns

I made this card for a few different challenges. It is a birthday card for my daughter Lily who will be turning 11 in March. After looking at the challenges, I had a card in mind.....this didn't not turn out how I pictured it, but I think it works as long as you like patterns:) I wish I had tangerine with chevrons on it, but I had to use what I had.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm linking up to these challenges: Try Stampin' On Tuesday #100; Stampin' Royalty #158; The Friday Mashup #92.

                          

                                           

Boy B-day Card

This card is a great card for a boy's birthday! It is simple, but I like the personalization of the number for how old they are turning. This card was made for my oldest son whose birthday is in May. I'm finally ahead on one thing! Our youngest son didn't even get a birthday card in November:(

The sketch for this card is from Freshly Made Sketches #68 which is found here and the color is from the challenge at ColorQ (cQc #171) found here.

Honeycomb Meets Pinwheel

I'm loving the new Spring and SAB items! The card layout is from The Friday Mashup #91, found here.

The Sycamore Street Designer Paper and Sycamore Street Button are SAB items. The Honeycomb embossing folder, saying from Wishes Your Way stamp set and Pinwheel die are from the Spring Catalog. The pinwheel was easy to make using the die:) You may see more pinwheels in the near future!

Atypical Color Scheme

Let me begin by saying that the Valentine Tickets are stamped in Rich Razzleberry. I always have a hard time capturing this color when taking a picture! This card is a Valentine's Day card, but it does not have any pink or red on it! Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry and Summer Starfruit were inspired by the designer paper. I don't think I would have put those colors together on my own:)

The sketch is from CCMC233. New items were used on this card. That's the Ticket stamp set from the Spring Catalog. Sycamore Street designer paper and a button from Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack from the SAB catalog. Only 14 more days until SAB!!! I also used the Chevron Embossing Folder on the white.

Oh, Whale!

This card uses the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches (FMS #67). The top of the card was embossed with the Cloudy Day Embossing Folder. I stamped the whale from the stamp set Oh, Whale! in Basic Gray and then used the Happy Whale Clearlits die to cut him out. The stars were die cut using the clearlit and then I added dazzling diamonds glitter to them. The designer paper is from the Sunshine & Sprinkles pack and the ribbon is striped organdy ribbon. All of the items used on this card can be found in the Spring SU! Catalog.

Birthday Party Invite MDS Style

I created Carter's birthday invite using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio (MDS). I printed four out on a page and then cut into fourths. This was created while riding in the car....a great feature of digital products! You can click on the invites above to enlarge them.
