Clean & Simple for FMS

Hello Friends!

I'm excited to share a Clean & Simple Card with you this morning!  I found my inspiration from the folks over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

I'm in LOVE with the stamp set, Perfect Pennants.  I snatched that set from the shelf and pulled out my current favorite Designer Series Paper, Retro Fresh.  The color combination is from the paper.  I just used some of my favorite framelits and the stripes embossing folder to finish this out.

It's a simple, but I think lovely card.  I hope the gals at card class this week with have fun making this one while they enjoy chatting and laughing.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Fever at the Stamp Club

Hello Friends!

I've got spring fever!  I'm ready for warmer temperatures!  While I wait, I designed a cute little mini spring banner.

It's pretty small for a banner, but I think it's just darling!  I used the Perfect Pennants Bigz L die to cut the triangles.  I used the new Watercolor Wonder designer series paper, and some of the silver foil designer series paper.  The colors are:  Whisper White, Gumball Green and Island Indigo.

Here's a closer photo.  I used the new Delicate Dots embossing folder (FREE during Sale a Bration) and some Gumball Green embossing powder for the sentiment.  You can't see it very well in the photo, but I punched the flowers out with the new Petite Petals Punch, then I used a bone folder and my fingers to distress the flowers until I could separate them.  Then, I glued them to the banner with the fuzzy side out.  "It's pretty cool."

That glitter was just added with sticky strip.  

This is one of the projects my stamp clubs with make this month.  I wish you were in my stamp club! 

Who can name the movie I got the italicized quote from?

Early Valentine Projects

Hello Friends!

It's finally almost time for my January stamp clubs to start meeting.  Seems like we've been on holiday break for too many weeks!  I miss my stamping friends!  This month, we will make a cute set of note cards that can be placed into a little sack for gifting.  Or, the gals could send every card separately, then put some candy treats into the bag to give to their sweet Valentine!  Either way, they are ready for Valentine's day just a few weeks early!  I hope they enjoy this project!

I've used some of my favorite new products for this project.  I can't wait to share it all with the stamp club girls!  

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I was pretty excited to use the new Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper.  Love those pretty prints!  I embossed the message with Gumball Green Embossing Powder.  Love the cute, cute little banners from the Sale-A-Bration catalog!  They have a coordinating punch!  Love that!
