Back On Your Feet

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!   It's a big day around here, Ian is FIVE today!  How can that be possible?  Because people always ask, no he's not starting Kindergarten :-)  He's a very young 5 and he has some things we are working on in OT so I don't think he's ready for Kinder just yet.  He'll go to pre-K again at our church with a bunch of his friends and I'm not sad about it!

He's just the best, he's super sweet and funny and generally a really good kiddo!  He's into Pokemon, Mario, and of course super heroes at the moment.    And he's WAY too tall!

Anyway, I'm a total slacker mom and didn't even make him a card LOL! By the time I made him cupcakes and had his party and did all sorts of other stuff, I didn't get a card done and he doesn't care :-)  So here's one I've had done.

I used the Back on Your Feet Stamp Set for this simple card as well as the Scalloped Notecards & Envelopes.  These cute notecards make it easy to create quick cards!  They have the very bottom cut off in a scallop.  You could add a strip of cardstock or DSP there if you wanted for some contrast but I left it this time.

For my turtle, I colored him with the three greens you see listed on my supply list.  He was fun to color!

Come back tomorrow for another card with this guy!

Happy Stamping!

Fab Friday 142

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I hope you're having a great week!  I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by!  It's almost August and almost Ian's birthday!  Last summer didn't go so fast because I was stuck on the couch a lot with that broken foot!  Not that I want anything to do with that again, lol!  But it can slow down any time!

Anyway, it's time again for another Fab Friday challenge!  This week has some PRETTY colors!

I think that there are a lot of ways you can go with this one!  I chose to go straightforward, pretty and soft!  I got Healing Hugs with my last order for this rose.  It's SO pretty!  It's one of our "Distinktive" stamps so it's made to look photorealistic.  If you have any problems inking them, try using sponge daubers.  Mine worked just find with my ink pads though.

For my background, I stamped the little background design randomly and then flicked my tide marker  for some splatters.

I fussy cut my rose and the leaves.  I also added some of the Copper Metallic Thread and some of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Now it's your turn to show  us what you got and play along!  Make sure to check out what the rest of my amazing design team did, too!

Happy stamping!

Get Whale!

Hi stampers!  Today I have a card going to a special friend.  She's the only person I've known outside my family for almost my whole life!  We went to pre-school clear up to a year of college together!!!  She's in need of a get well card so I whipped one up the other night after getting my big box of goodies!

In the box was the Oh, Whale set which has a bunch of cute little sayings!  My card is based off the last Freshly Made Sketches sketch by my friend Rita and I was a day too late to enter!  Whoops!  Did I mention the whale is super cute???

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Oh, whale!
Paper:  Whisper white, pacific point, marina mist, sunshine & sprinkles DSP
Ink:  Pacific point, marina mist
Accessories:  Happy whale clearit, perfect pennants die, 2.5 inch circle punch, large scallop edgelit, paper piercing pack

And guess what?  I didn't have to hand cut the whale!  There is a super cute little clearlit to do that for you!  Holla!  It's a simple card but I hope it makes my friend smile!

Happy stamping!
