Bright and Beautiful Star

Love the new catalog!  I made this shaker card with the Bright & Beautiful stamp set.  Sure, it’s presented as a Christmas set,. but why limit it?  I used is as a congratulations card here with Night of Navy layered over Whisper White card stock.  With a little careful inking and the use of the …

Dotty Angles 8-16-14

This card made me feel so happy!  I just love the dots from the stamp and the round window to peek inside the card.  The pearls that coordinate, thanks to Blendabilities, put the finishing touch.  And it all went together so quick and easy!  It was one of those cards that you feel surprised when …

So Grateful There’s You in the World 7-12-14

So Grateful There's You 7-12-14I think Traveler, World Map, and Chalk Talk must have been meant to go together.  And I think the colors go great too!  I used Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso.

I designed this card before Stamp Out Fussy Cutting was born.  I used gold embossing powder to bring out the globe, but I think the cut-out makes it pop much better.  And you don’t have to stick with Whisper White.  You could request a cut out from a different color or just sponge the cut-out to any color you want.

Baby Blocks 7-12-14

Baby Block Card 7-12-14I saw Dawn Griffith make a similar card and adored the idea! I just love her designs and videos!

I made a few changes to her design.  Mine is made with Lullaby Designer Series Paper and also uses the matching Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding card stock.  Stamp and punch a ticket from That’s the Ticket and a few hearts punched with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.

I shrunk mine down a bit from the one Dawn showed.  This allowed me to fit the card in a standard medium envelope.  It also made the perfect size blocks to use the Postage Stamp and 1″ Square punches.  With the smaller size, I was able to cut this from less than have an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock and it already includes the part to overlap.  I also realized that the tops of my blocks are open where Dawn’s open to the front.  My version could easily be turned that way.  I couldn’t tell you which I prefer.
