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.

WOO HOO Sunburst

WOO HOO!!!
A new Sale-a-Bration stamp set.
I just received some new stamping goodies.
I didn’t think I need the Sunburst Thinlit from the
Occasions Catalog — really, what would I do with it.
Then I saw some cards on Pinterest and knew that I
HAD to have it.  I cased today’s card from fellow
demonstrator, Brian King.  I love this color combination
that he did and the designer paper was perfect.
So I made a few adjustments for my card.
I used the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set Party Pants.
This set has some great words and a couple of images.
I love adding layers to my cards — 1/8″ borders give
just a little pop of color change (this drives my sister crazy).

Sunburst Party PantsThe card base is Lost Lagoon. 
I added a layer of Soft Suede – 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Next is Hello Honey — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Then the Sweet Lil’ Things designer paper — 3 3/4″ x 5″
I cut both the Vanilla stars and the Hello Honey stars paper the
same size.  Then I used the Sunburst Thinlit to cut the
Hello Honey star paper and attached over the Vanilla stars paper.
Such a cool look — this is a must have thinlit.
I added circle of Lost Lagoon, Soft Suede, Hello Honey
and stamped the greetings with Lost Lagoon ink.
I love the WOO HOO stamp.  I could stamp it on everything.
