Happy Father's Day Jake

Jake's away at a class for Father's Day but the kids and I hid a card and gift in his bag so that he could have a surprise to open.

Have a great day and thanks for being a great dad!!!

Bright Blossoms

The colors on this card are Midnight Muse, Gumball Green (both new In Colors) and Marina Mist.  The ribbon is the new Gumball Green Stitched Satin.  Love the color combo - I got it from the Color Coach.

Bright Blossoms

For this card I used the marker colors Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green (both new In Colors) to color the stamps.  Then I punched out the tiny circles from the Summer Starfruit paper and glued them in the center of the bigger flowers.  The dots at the bottom are from the Confetti stamp set. 

Bright Blossoms

The colors for this card are Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green (both new In Colors), Elegant Eggplant and Baja Breeze.  I used markers to color the tulips, then stamped them on Whisper White card stock and punched them out with the 1" circle punch and layered them with the 1 1/4" circle punch.  The ribbon is the 5/8" Whisper White Organza.

Bright Blossoms

This was my card trade for club last week.  The colors are Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green - all from the new Catalog that will come out June 1st.  The Summer Starfruit strip of paper was ran through the Big Shot using the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder.

Tiny Tags

We had our last Stamp Club for this catalog on Thursday.  Janelle, our hostess, invited all of us to come to her house and see her stamp room.  I forgot my camera, but OH MY GOSH she has the greatest stamp room ever.  I can only dream of having a room like that.  She is SO organized!!! We had a great time visiting and making this fun flower card with some of the new In Colors from the catalog that will come out June 1st. 

We used two of the five new In Colors for this card:  Gumball Green and Primrose Petals.  They are both really great colors.  We also added in some of the Summer Smooches Designer Paper that is in the new catalog.  The ribbon we used is also new.  It's 3/8" Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon.  It's so soft and silky!  The background was stamped with the Distressed Dots stamp.

Bright Blossoms

I love the different things you can do with the flowers in the Bright Blossoms set.  This is just one great example.  The colors are Real Red and Lucky Limeade.  The cute little button is from the Brights Collection and then I added a Pearl in the center.  The paper is from the Summer Smooches pack.  I used the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder on the main card.

More of the cute Summer Smooches Paper from the April Special.  The colors are Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade.  Markers were used to color the vase and flowers.  The button is from the Designer Brights Collection.  The ribbon is Whisper White Organza.

Bright Blossoms

This was my card trade for Stamp Club.  I love the variety you get with the Summer Smooches Paper.  The colors are Daffodil Delight and Island Indigo.  I used markers to color the vase and leaves.  The flowers are punched out of the paper with the Boho Blossoms Punch.  The 'happy birthday' is from the Party this Way Set (being retired).

I Dig You

I love the little animals you can put in the back of the dump truck - so cute!  I just had to make a baby card.  The colors are So Saffron, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi and Pumpkin Pie.  I used all of those colors of marker to color the stamps along with Soft suede for the tires.  The alphabet stamp along the edge is from the Confetti stamp set and the greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I Dig You

I'm having so much fun with this set.  I love how this card turned out with the piles of dirt to dig in and the cute  Silver Mini Brads.  The colors are More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Basic Black.  I used the Stripes Embossing Folder on the main part of the card.

I Dig You

I've been wanting this set and finally gave in.  I think it's so stinkin' cute!  The colors I used are Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.  I used the Distressed Dots stamp for the background.  The truck was colored with markers and then I added brads inside the tires.

Mixed Bunch

Another card using the Perfect Details Texturz Plate.  First the plate was inked with the Pool Party ink pad, just turn you ink pad upside down, tap and rub it on.  Then it went through the Big Shot using Very Vanilla card stock.  The background you see is the result.  To make the butterfly you first punch out the flower with the Blossom Punch and then cut two of the the petals off (opposite each other) and you have a butterfly.  I just cut out the middle piece and curled the ends to make the antennae.  I put some Crystal Effects on to make it look glossy and so it was a little more durable.  The pattern paper is from the SAB pack.

Triple Treat Flower

This is the card we made at Stamp Club last night.  For the background we took the Perfect Details Texturz Plate and rubbed Lucky Limeade ink on it.  Then we laid or precut Very Vanilla paper on it and ran it through the Big Shot.  We ended up with this cool background paper for our card.  We finished it off with the Everyday Enchantment Sale-a-bration paper and the Triple Treat Flower single stamp.  The great thing about this stamp is that you can use 3 different punches to make it look cool:  the 1/2" Circle Punch, the 5-Petal Flower punch and the Fancy Flower punch.

Fresh Vintage

There are 10 days left to take advantage of Sale-a-bration. It ends March 31st.  This card was made with the Free items from the SAB Catalog: Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper and Brads, also the vintage stamp set.  The colors are Very Vanilla, Pool Party and Poppy Parade.

Sweet Shop Paper & Stickers

Here's a girl version using the Maze Game and Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper and Stickers from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The colors are Blushing Bride, Cameo Color, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party.

Sweet Shop Stickers & Paper

The Sweet Shop designer series paper and matching accessories in the Occasions Mini are so bright and colorful.  Also in the Mini you'll find these fun Maze Game's.  I was so excited to get them and make fun birthday cards.  Kids don't usually care about the cards they receive for their birthday, so it's fun to add a little something interesting to grab their attention.  I did this card for a boy and I'll share my girl card soon!  The colors are Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party.  The cool thing about these mazes are that you can remove the back and add any paper, stamps or stickers you'd like.  I used some of the Sweet Shop paper and a cute cupcake sticker.
