Who’s Turning 29 Again

Every now and then a stamp set makes me laugh!!
This time the stamp set surprised me.
What stamp set am I talking about?
It's called Number of Years.
It's in the Occasions Catalog.
I thought this was definitely a stamp set that I
didn't have to have — really, what would I use it for.
Then I really looked at it and oh my gosh — there
are so many things to do with this set.
I love it and it is definitely a favorite with
my customers.
29 AgainCheck out this card….
The base is Tip Top Taupe.
A layer of Melon Mambo — 2 1/2" x 5 1/2".
The designer paper is It's My Party
that is 2 1/4" x 5 1/2".
I used the Circle Collections to cut out
a circle from Mint Macaron — and
stamped "Look Who's Turning" at the top,
then stamp "Again" at the bottom,
both with Memento ink.
I used Melon Mambo ink to stamp the 29
and cut out with the coordinating Large Number Framelits.
I punched out Crushed Curry balloons
using the Balloon Bouquet Punch.
I used Crushed Curry Baker's Twine for the
balloon strings and bow.
Pretty quick and easy and everyone
loves this saying.

Easter Bunnies

I know we are just starting to think about Valentine's Day
and Easter isn't really on our radar yet, but
check out this adorable card.
It uses the Festive Flower Punch that was in the
Holiday Catalog — woohoo, it is also in the
Occasions Catalog and there is a
new stamp set to go with it.
No it isn't a poinsettia either.
Check this out.
Easter BunniesThe new stamp set is called Friends & Flowers.
I LOVE this set — you can make a cute goldfish,
a baby in a pea pod and of course flowers.
This card started with a piece of Thick Whisper White
cardstock.  I added a layer of Bermuda Bay designer paper
from the Brights Designer Paper Stack.
I stamped the bunny face three time (inking up with markers)
and punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.
I punch six ears and punched out with the Festive Flower Builder Punch.
I colored the inside of the ears with Pink Pirouette marker.
Attach the bunny faces with dimensionals.
I folded the two outside ears down.

SO SWEET!!
You're So Sweet Ice Cream
The card base is Tip Top Taupe — 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ — scored at 4 1/4″.
I added a 1″ x 5 1/2″ strip of Birthday Bouquet designer paper
(I used the ice cream cones) to the right side of the card.
The Whisper White piece is 3″ x 5 1/4″.
Stamp “You’re So Sweet” with Tip Top Taupe ink.
I used the Lots of Labels Framelits for the tags —
Blushing Bride, Tip Top Taupe and Shimmery White.
On another piece of Shimmery White cardstock
I stamped the ice cream with Mint Macaron ink
and cut out the ice cream.
Stamp the cone again with Tip Top Taupe ink
I used an Aqua Painter to color in the base
of the cone and the “mint” ice cream.
I used Tip Top Taupe marker to draw
the chocolate sprinkles on top of the ice cream.
