Sailing, Sailing

Would you believe I made these cute little boats from a Paper Pumpkin Kit?  They were originally die-cut to make pinwheels, so I made some of those first. Then, I had extras and thought I'd make some cute little cards.  I added the "happy birthday" from Itty Bitty Banners.

Balloon Bash

I made this birthday card from the new set "Balloon Bash" and stamped it in Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy.  The background paper is from the Birthday Bash DSP Collection.  Happy Birthday Jo!

Spring Flowers

Here's a fast and easy thank you card in springy colors.  I embossed a Crumb Cake card base with the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder.  The top center strip was stamped with a cute polka dot from "Perfect Pennants" on Daffodil Delight and the Wild Wasabi stripe DSP is from the Painted Blooms Collection.  I tied some Wild Wasabi Cotton Twine around the middle and then added the top piece stamped with "Painted Petals".   Last,  I rounded the corners with Project Life Corner Punch.

For the New Two

This pretty set called "For the New Two" is from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It has six different stamps and is perfect for weddings or anniversaries.  I used the Something Borrowed DSP and mounted it on Pink Pirouette card stock.  I cut out the words with one of the Oval Framelits and added some Sahara Sand Lace Trim to finish it off.  

Berry Basket

I made this card using Crumb Cake card stock with the new Berry Basket die.  This die also makes a three-dimensional basket you can put things in.  I stamped it with the "Hardwood" background stamp and tied some Linen Thread around it.  I put it on a Daffodil Delight background made with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Then, I stamped the flowers in Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Daffodil Delight with the "Flower Shop" set and popped some up with Dimensionals.

Fall & Winter Sheltering Trees

Here are the last two in my series of "Sheltering Tree" cards.  I present "fall" and "winter"!  Notice the little accessories--the swing and rake.  There's also a bicycle, leaves, snow, grass, and words.  Love it!

Spring Sheltering Tree

Does this look like spring?  "Sheltering Tree" from the Occasions Mini is one of the most versatile sets I have ever owned.  Here's the one I posted awhile ago,  I used Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi.  Watch for more cards using this set in future posts.

Rotary Stamp

This is one of Stampin' Up!'s Rotary Stamps called "Alphabet".  Not only does it have the whole alphabet, it also has numbers and symbols.  I stamped the date on this wedding card with the stamp and also used it to sign our names on our Christmas cards.  I've seen it used tons of different ways as well!

Something Different

I thought I would post something a little different than I usually make.  My fellow demonstrator and cohort, Kathy, made this pretty card.  She used the background stamp "Something Lacy" from the Occasions Mini Catalog and stamped it in Perfect Plum.  She stamped the butterfly from "Butterfly Basics" and cut it out with the coordinating Butterflies Thinlits Dies, popped it up with Dimensionals, and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  Last, the "hello" was made from Hello You Thinlits Dies.
