Kind Koala

Hi there!  Hope your week is going well.  The card I'm sharing today was a popular Card Buffet selection.  This little koala image by Stampin' Up! is just so CA-ute!  How could you NOT love it?  The colors of Baked Brown Sugar and Blushing Bride look so good together, too.  Inspiration for my card came from the very talented Chat Wszelaki as seen HERE (posted July 23rd).  To make the card my own, different colors and supplies were used. 

That's it!  Thank you for visiting!  Your visits are always a welcomed pleasure!

Serene Moonlight

Hi there and happy Friday!  Today's featured card is the last sample of the Hostess Club cards, which are exclusive to Club members only.  This card was inspired by Chat Wszelaki, who was inspired by Beth McAlexander.  You can check out Chat's card here.  (Scroll down to Jul 12 post.)  She has a link to Beth's blog so that you can view her card, too.  The "swoosh" image from Stampin' Up!s Work of Art  was inked up with Soft Sky ink.  Stamp full strength, then again without inking up the stamp.  (This is called second generation stamping.)  Serene Silhouettes and a sentiment from a new set, Something to Say, were used next.  A strip of Designer Series Paper from the Moonlight DSP Stack and Lost Lagoon Stitched Satin Ribbon finish off the card nicely.

That's all folks - hope you have a great weekend.  Thanks so much for visiting today!

March Stamp Camp Cards

Hi there!  Hope your weekend has gone well. 
I didn't drop off the face of the earth as you may have thought - or not. lol   Just busy, busy, busy.  Had a great group of gals at Stamp Camp yesterday....and no snow! 
After Stamp Camp, hubby & I went to our daughter's who had a little family birthday celebration for me.  It was the only day our son could make it.  Our granddaughter got to come home with us afterwards.  What a nice birthday present.  This morning I made her some Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes, then we worked on "projects".  She loves to do projects!  I totally forgot about the time change.  Felt cheated losing that hour with her.  Enough grandma talk.  Guess you want to see some projects of the card kind, huh?  Here ya go.

The Everyday Enchantment DSP used in the card below, is free during Sale-A-Bration (SAB) with a $50 purchase.  You only have a couple more weeks (Mar 31) to get your FREE stuff!

The next card is a spinner card.  I learned from one of my customers to wind up the butterfly before inserting into envelope.  That way the recipient will get the benefit of the spinning butterfly when they pull the card out of the envelope.  Pretty cool, huh?  I thought so.
