Pierced In Blooms Birthday Card

 Happy Hump Daymy crafting peeps!  

Husband had a meeting last night and left me all along at home...oh what is a lady to do?

I ate dinner, and high tailed it back to my craftroom of course!  LOL!  

I had never played with my In Blooms stamp set or the matching Pierced Blooms die set (I know I'm lame) but I did and I now love this collection.  So many wonderful things can be created.


I found a card very simular in design that I fell in love with.  I didn't have quite the same DSP or a few of the flower elements she used but thats why CASing is fun, you get to edit and make it still your own.


I hope you have enjoyed my paper creation.  Show some love with some happy comments and I hope to be back later this week with something new and fun to share!

Free as a Bird Birthday Wishes

 Happy Sunday my stampin friends!  Hope everyone has been well.  A little rainy here in Virginia so I'm enjoying my morning warm inside in my craftroom.  

I had gotten a little burned out with so many paper projects during the holiday for craft shows, special orders and my own gifts and Christmas cards to mail out, I decided to take a little break and enjoy some much needed reading time (my other passion)

I bought myself a new simple 2022 calendar and went through and wrote in all my birthdays for the year and other special events that I need cards for.  Today I decided to work on a birthday card for a special friend!


I used some retired SU! DSP that coordinates with the stamp set "Free as a Bird". The bird and branch with flowers were colored with my Stampin Blenders. Added some bling and some ribbon and I'm done.

From the Herd - Penny Spinner Card!

 




Hello my stampin peeps!  Thanks for stopping by today to check out my penny spinner card that I created as a fun Birthday card for my older sister.  She loves pigs, so I thought I would pull out one of my fun MFT "My Favorite Things" stamp set and matching dies that I have.  Now I know I enjoy my SU! stamp items, but I too like many others enjoy stamp sets and fun items from other companies.  Its all about sharing what you love!  These cute farm animals are fun to color with my SU! blenders. 

If you would like to create your own fun "penny spinner card",
 you can find many easy videos on youtube.


Had to add another cute pig on the inside...


The barn doors open so you can reveal a hidden animal or in my case, a stamped sentiment that says, "from my barn to yours".  How cute and fun is this right?!

Supplies Used:
stamp set & Dies:  The Whole Herd and matching dies, Barn Die-Namics
paper color:  basic red, whisper white, daffodil delight
ink colors:  Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Blenders:  basic gray, daffodi delight, real red, petal pink, crumb cake, old olive

Thinking of You - Touch of Ink


Good afternoon stampin peeps!  Hope everyone is doing well as we are in the tail end of the week and the wonderful weekend is fast approaching us!  I had a co-worker reach out to me to create a card for a fellow co-worker that had a small surgery and wanted to cheer her up and send her well wishes.

I created this card to measure 4-1/4" x 9" to allow for more room inside for well wishes and signatures for others.  I will have to admit, I like this size of card for a nice change.

I pulled out and used for the first time (I know, I am so bad, lol!) the stamp set called Touch of Ink.  It was a special free stamp set that could be earned with a $50 purchase the other year.  I just love the pretty humminging bird.  It colors so well with my alcohol blendabilities.

Hope you enjoyed my card creation for today, don't forget to share some love!

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamp set:  Touch of Ink
Paper: whisper white and sift succulent
Ink:  momento black ink
Blenders:  soft succulent, smokey slate, petal pink, daffodil delight
Misc:  basic gemstones, white twine
