By the Tide

Looking for that masculine card that you can have on hand for birthdays and Father's Day?  Here it is!  This stamp set is Stampin' Up's By the Tide and it has some wonderful stamps in it.  Here you see four of the seven that come with it.  I used the Happy Birthday from the 

Stamp set Bring on the Cake to add a sentiment but you can easily put Happy Father's Day on it for your favorite fisherman!  I used Night of Navy ink and card stock.

Happy Birthday card

OMG ...I can't believe it has been so long since I posted!  I have been making cards for the holidays and haven't made the time to post.  So I am making time now!  This is one of my favorite cards

that I have made.  I choose the background paper from Stampin' Up's Birthday Basics DSP (#130145) which has all these wonderful birthday patterns.  I made the candles from cut pieces of  the Designer Series paper stacks and the flames came from the wing of the bird builder punch (#117191).

  I choose the Happy Birthday from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#132070 wood, #126707 clear).  This set has 6 all occasion sayings in a fun font!  I used Raspberry Ripple for the card stock and the ink to coordinate with the colors in the background paper.I sponged around the flames and used dimensionals to give them some 3D effect.

I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did.  Feel free to browse my store by clicking on the button to the right.

Happy Stampin'

Christmas is around the corner and here I am trying to make some cards to send out to my family and friends!  I came across this style of card on a fellow Stampin' Up demonstrators blog and thought I would change it up a bit and use it for my Christmas card list.  I used the new season of style designer paper that Stampin' Up has out and I hear that the color Crumb Cake is the current "in" color!  I choose one of our ornament punches but you could use anything with the Christmas theme and your favorite Christmas saying.  Check out our holiday catalog with a great selection of holiday stamps and papers.  Don't forget to check out our clearance rack!  Stampin' Up products are up to 80% off.  Hurry, only while supplies last.  Hit the button to the right to check out these great deals on my website.  Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Angry Birds

After seeing so many Angry Bird items this year, I came across a cute card made mostly from punches.  My friend Amanda got me hooked on punch art so I am always looking for fun things to make out of our Stampin' Up punches.  Although my bird doesn't quit fit my usual size envelope because of his feathers, I still added them in for dimension.  Didn't he turn out cute?  I can't wait to send one to my great nephew Nate who is an Angry Bird fan.

The following punches were used.  The word window punch for the feathers.  The petite pennants punch for his beak. The 1 1/4 and 1 inch circle punches for his eyes along with the owl builder punch for the smallest part of his eyes.  As you increase the number of punches you have, you will be amazed at the number of things you can make from them.  The eyebrows were made with a 1 inch square punch.  You can use a 3 inch circle punch or our 3 inch circle die to cut out the lower section 

of the card.  

If you need a few punches to add to your collection, stop by my online store by clicking on the Shop Now button to the right.  Happy Punching!

I am back with a cute Thanksgiving card for the upcoming holidays.  This card is made with the Stampin' Up Oval Framelits and the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  I also used the Polka dot embossing folder to add some dimension to the 'pumpkin'.  You can use any sentiment you want on the front depending on what you are using it for.  This fun card is an eye catcher and everyone you send it to will enjoy it.  To shop for the Framelits or Bigz Die, click on the shop now button to the right.
