Congratulations Pink and Gray

Sorry for the terrible angle on the photo - I had to snap a shot real quick on my phone to get the card in the package! My son and his wife found out that they're having a baby girl.  Exciting for me, because I have 3 boys - now I get to accessorize a little girl!!!

Congratulations sentiment is from Bravo Set and is stamped in Pretty in Pink and Basic Gray on Whisper White CS. Banners are stamped in Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray and Rose Red. Stars punched using Confetti Stars punch. 

Pressed Flower Inspiration

I love flowers and I love spring. One of my favorite things to do is collect and press the pretty flowers in my yard and surrounding area. So I thought'd I'd do a pressed flower/stampin up mashup :)

I placed the flowers in the pages of a large book, sandwiched it between more large books, and let dry for 2 weeks. I glued the flowers to the paper with Aleene's Tacky glue and then covered with Crystal Effects to protect it.

The paper that the pressed flowers are matted on is homemade paper as well. So pressed flower glued to homemade paper, accented with honeycomb embossing folder, banner blast, and say it with scripture sets. The inside of the card has the rest of the Matthew 19:26 stamp - With God all things are possible.

Banners and Grunge

SUPPLIES:

• INK: Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Memento Black
• CARDSTOCK: Whisper White

• ACCESSORIES: Secret Garden Framelits, Banner Punch, Rhinestones, Stampin Blendabilities, Stampin Write Markers, Signo Uniball White pen, Pop Up dots.

I colored both flowers with the lightest marker from Coastal Cabana blendabilities set. Then colored over base of petals again with same light color for some subtle shading.

The Fox Says Thank You

SUPPLIES:

• STAMPS: Life in the Forest, Express Yourself, Banner Blast, Oh Hello
• CARDSTOCK: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Lucky Limeade
• INK: Stazon Black, Pear Pizazz, Really Rust, Crumb Cake
• ACCESSORIES: Mini Brads, Banner Punch, Modern Mosaic EF, Silver Baker's Twine, Stampin' Write Markes. Nestabilities Circle dies, ribbon not SU.

This card originally started out to be a "magic card" I saw on Pinterest. But mine didn't turn out as pretty! So I already had the acetate stamped with the fox in Stazon, and the white piece behind stamped with the fox, but colored. So I decided to go ahead and layer them for an added dimension - even though I don't think you can see in the photo.

Banner Valentine

I was trying to come up with a more "masculine" valentine. However, even changing the colors to brown/blue it still looks way too feminine :)

SUPPLIES:

Bashful blue, whisper white, crumbcake cardstock. Not quite navy, brown sugar, bashful blue ink. Banner Blast, label love, a round array stamp sets. Chevron and square lattice EF, finishing touches edgelits.

Petite Petals Birthday

 

This is similar to the petite petals card I posted in December with a few changes :)

I inked Beautifully Baroque EF with Smoky Slate and then embossed. Inked birthday sentiment from See Ya Later SAB set, with Strawberrry Slush and Basic Gray markers. Stamped Petite Petals and Banner Blast images in Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate and punched out. Added ribbon and bling!

Scallop circle and circle dies from nestabilities.
