Three in a Row

I stamped these three flowers in Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Lucky Limeade with a stamp from "Fresh Vintage" (SAB).  Then, I punched them out with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch--they fit perfectly.  I mounted them on matching squares popped up with Dimensionals.  The background paper and coordinating brads are from the Everyday Enchantment DSP and Ribbon and Brad Pack.  Last, I added a 3/8" Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon.  Happy Leap Day!

Triple Treat Flower

This is yet another SAB freebie, "Triple Treat Flower".  Even though it's a single stamp it can be used with both the Fancy Flower and 5-Petal Flower Punches to give it a layered look.  I stamped the image three times in Pool Party, Riding Hood Red, and Soft Suede, punched each one, and then added an Antique Brad.  The Very Vanilla strip in the middle was made with the new Adorning Accents Embossing Folder from the Occasions Mini.  I added some RH Red 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon and trimmed it with Soft Suede made with the Eyelet Border Punch. 

Who Knew?

This darling Simply Sent Kit,  Everyday Elegance, is a choice for a FREE SAB item!  It comes with 8 printed, embossed, die-cut cards, 16 self-adhesive tags, and 8 white envelopes.  I stamped the tags with the coordinating "Everyday Wishes" set sold separately for only $9.95.  I finished it off with a Baja Breeze button on the top one and a Cherry Cobbler ribbon on the bottom one. 

Marianne is the winner of Wednesday's give away!

Gray & Yellow = Give Away

I'm seeing gray and yellow together in magazines, stores, and on blogs.  Recently, I even saw a way-cute display in gray and yellow at Crate and Barrel--totally awesome!  I love that these colors work for a gender-neutral baby card as well.  We must be related, because here's my daughter's post from Monday. 

Anyway, I made these cards over the weekend and decided I should share.  If you would like win these cards along with  kit of matching ribbon, card stock, and DSP, please leave me a comment.  On Friday night I will draw a name and announce the winner.  I made these from the following retired, but well-loved sets:  "Just K", "Big Pieces", and "Stemming From".   

Girly Girl

Need to make a cute card for a girlfriend?  This single stamp called "Packed for Mom" (Occasions Mini) has many different images on one stamp.  You can stamp the outline, then stamp them again on DSP, cut some out, and then adhere them.  Or, you can stamp it and color the images in with Stampin' Write Markers.  I used Pool Party, Regal Rose, and Basic Gray.  I made the little frame with the Scallop Squares Duo Die and the words were stamped with "Outlined Occasions" from SAB.

Some Spring

I thought my stamping friends in Michigan would like to see something springy!  I used "Mixed Bunch" from the Occasions Mini stamped it in Lucky Limeade.  I punched it out with the new Blossom Punch and popped it up with Dimensionals.  The center and background were made with Daffodil Delight and the 1" Circle Punch.  I mounted the flower on a 1 1/4" circle punched from Melon Mambo and the card on Lucky Limeade.  The polka dotted strip was made with the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack and punched along the bottom with Scallop Edge Border Punch.   Last I added a 1/8" Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon and a Lucky Limeade brad from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack (SAB). 

Fresh Vintage

Here's another new SAB called "Fresh Vintage".  It has five images including this one that first perfectly in the Postage Stamp Punch.  I stamped them in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, and Wisteria Wonder.  Then I punched out the same three colors using the Scallop Square Punch, mounted them together, and then popped them up with Dimensionals.  The Whisper White background was made with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  I added some Calypso Coral trim made with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and layered a Wisteria Wonder 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon over it.  Last, I added a cute little brad from the SAB Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack.  

Lots of Hearts

I love this new embossing folder set called Adorning Accents.  The set comes with two other embossing folders that have coordinating edgelits dies.  I stamped the words in Real Red from the "P.S. I Love You" set and added a Real Red heart made with Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die.  On the bottom I used Pinking Hearts Border Punch with Whisper White card stock.  Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Be My Valentine

This valentine is made with two different hearts from the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies.  Then, the top heart was stamped in Real Red with the "P.S. I Love You" set and punched out with the Full Heart Punch.  I stamped the words with the same set,  punched it out with the Modern Label Punch, and popped it up with Dimensionals.  Although the background is hard to see, it was made using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  Last, I added a Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

Apothecary Art

"Apothecary Art" is a new set in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It has two sets of words and four different shapes that coordinated perfectly with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies.  I stamped this in Certainly Celery and then colored it with Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery, and Soft Suede markers.  I punched the image and the frame with two different dies from the set.  Then, I stamped the words separately in Soft Suede and added a Certainly Celery button tied with some Hemp Twine.  Last, I added some Victoria Crochet Trim along with Blushing Bride 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon.

Elementary Elegance

"Elementary Elegance" is an exclusive Sale-A-Bration set that you can earn for free before March 31.  I stamped this in Soft Suede ink on Soft Suede card stock and then punched a coordinating window out with the Curly Label Punch.  I stamped "Hello" also in Soft Suede and sponged it with some Pool Party ink.  I used Attic Boutique DSP for the bottom, some Basic Pearls at the top, and Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in the middle.

Two on two-two

Happy second birthday--our sweet little Nashy!  Out here the Phoenix Suns are big and Steve Nash, #13,  is their star.  I just had to get this size 2T shirt for little Nash.  He's not really sleeping in the second picture, he just took five-second break from running around and is snuggling his nie-night.  So, here's a shot of the back of his shirt.
