Homemade

This single stamp "Homemade" is also retiring.  The girls at church are making baked goods (bread, chocolate pie, and cheesecake) to sell to raise money for camp.  I wasn't able to help bake, but thought I would make some cute tags to add to the packaging.  I used the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle and 1 3/4" Circle Punches and then layered them.  Yum!

New In Colors

Here are three of the five new In Colors:  Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, and Summer Starfruit.  I used the new set "A Cherry on Top" stamped in the above colors.  I added background by using the Stripes and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders.  Last, I added a new 3/8" Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon and a Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch for trim.

Three Tulips

I used the new set "Bright Blossoms" to make this card.  I stamped the tulips in Daffodil Delight and Lucky Limeade and the mounted them on Tempting Turquoise circles.  I used the Top Note Die with coordinated DSP "Summer Smooches" behind them.  Then, I ran the Daffodil Delight card through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  Last, I added two Tempting Turquoise buttons tied with Whisper White Baker's Twine and some Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon.

Betsy's Blossoms

I used the new stamp set "Betsy's Blossoms" and new DSP "Floral District" to make this card.  Colors are Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze, and Rich Razzleberry.  I stamped the big yellow flower and then punched it out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  Then, I stamped the bird in different colors and cut out and switched the wings.  I used the Scallop Edge Border Punch to make the trim and added some new Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Ribbon on the bottom.  New catalog starts June 1!

Flower Pot

I made this cute little flower pot by folding Crumb Cake card stock and trimming it with the Eyelet  Border Punch (retiring).  I tied Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon around the top and inserted another piece of Crumb Cake (that slides in and out) with the flowers from "Flower Fest" (retiring) stamped on Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, and Daffodil Delight.  I punched them with the Fancy Flower, 5-Petal Flower, and 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punches.  The Lucky Limeade leaves were made with the Blossom Petals Builder Punch and the words are from "Everyday Wishes" (also retiring).  The bottom picture shows the card pulled out of the flower pot.

Little Time, Little Cards

I thought it would be fun to make some 3" x 3" cards for a change.  They make great gift bag enclosures and at the rate I've been crocheting the edges of baby blankets, I've been using a lot of them.  Sorry the last one is a little blurry.

Wacky Wishes

Do you think I'm holiday impaired?  I just had to play with new set called "Wacky Wishes".  I think I'm in love!  It has six other sentiments for special occasions and reminds of one of my favorite retired sets called "Alphabet Soup".   You can earn this set with hostess dollars, only $10 for clear and $14 for wood--what a deal.  I used the new In Color, Gumball Green, along with Cherry Cobbler.  The DSP is from the new Be of Good Cheer collection.  Last, I added some new Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon. 

Both Debbie and Marianne are winners of the give away from Friday.  I'm going to send you each a packet with the new In Colors card stock and some new ribbon to match!
