Sit, Drink, Eat

Come, Let Us Sit and Drink Together
and Eat Cake
and Eat Cookies.

Isn’t this the BEST card ever!!!!
Who doesn’t want to do this — sit with a friend,
drink some coffee (or whatever else you like)
and eat cake & cookies.

This is one of the cards my stampers got to make yesterday
at my Winter Warm Up.  I got together with three
team members and our customers for 4 hours filled
with stamping.  Everyone made 12 cards using great
items from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration
Catalogs.  It was a fun filled morning and the
weather cooperated quite nice — 50+ degrees.
It was a wonderful Saturday.
Drink, Eat Cake & CookiesThe card base is Bermuda Bay with a layer of Early Espresso.
I used Shimmery White for the stamped layer.
I used Tip Top Taupe stamped for for the “C” image from
Timeless Textures stamp set.
Next I added the little “splotches” — I inked up once with Tip
Top Taupe and stamped twice, then reinked.
I cut out the coffee cup from Cup & Kettle Framelits.
I used Early Espresso to stamp “Come Sit” and “eat cake”
which are both from Balloon Celebration stamp set.
Attach the cup with dimensionals.
Oh, I almost forgot — don’t forget to cut out the heart steam
using the Cup & Kettle Framelits and Early Espresso cardstock.
I attached this with the Fine Tip Glue.

Make a Wish

Happy Birthday — Make a Wish!!!!
Today’s card has a nice “pop” of color.
The stamp set used is Party Wishes
and the designer paper is It’s My Party.
I even used the coordinating punch pack for the balloon.
It’s a great set of 3 punches — Party Punch Pack.
There is this balloon punch, a cupcake and a candle.
So much fun and so many things to do with them.
BirthdayThe card base is Thick Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black.
Then the top Whisper White layer.  I stamped “Happy Birthday”
with Memento ink.  Then added the It’s My Party washi tape
right above the greeting.  I punch a balloon from Melon Mambo
cardstock and attached with a dimensional.  I used the
Black marker to draw the balloon line.
I attached 1 1/4″ squares of designer paper to
1 3/8″ squares of Melon Mambo cardstock and attached
to the card front.  I stamped “Make a Wish” with
Memento and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch.
This is attached to a 1 3/8″ Melon Mambo circle which is
attached to a 1 3/4″ Black Scallop Circle.
Another card that is pretty quick to make.

In the Meadow Sympathy

Sympathy cards are nice to have on hand
because when you need one isn’t really the
best time to sit down and make one.
Sometimes this can be very difficult.
Today’s card was made for a wonderful
co-worker who just lost her husband.
My heart goes out to Linda and her family.
In the Meadow SympathyThe stamp sets used were In the Meadow and Suite Sayings.
The card base is the Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I added a layer of Blackberry Bliss and then a layer of
Perfect Plum (when did you use this color last).
On the Whisper White cardstock I used Memento
ink to stamp the flowers twice.
I stamped “With Sympathy” in the upper right corner.
The card was missing something — too much white
space, so I added some butterflies.
I used markers to add a bit of color:
So Saffron, Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz.
Then I added the finishing touch —
Wink of Stella – Clear.  I love this stuff.
It’s almost time for a new one.
