Butterfly Basics - I miss you!!

I personally am in LOVE with this stamp set - Butterfly Basics, and so are all my stampin’ friends.  That’s what makes me so sad.  Soooo many of my friends missed out on this stamp set and now have to wait until it comes back in stock with Stampin’ Up!.  The good news is I hear it will be very SOON!!!!

The color combination on this card is something I am really loving right now as well – Pink Piroquette, Old Olive and Melon Mambo.  I have always been a big fan of the Hardwood background stamp and I use it whenever I can!  I used Stampin' Write markers and Blender Pen to add some dimension to the flowers.  I like the weathered look of how the ribbon is laying on the bottom of the card as well.   If you want to check out what Stampin' Up! is all about, click HERE

I surely hope you get to stamp today!!

Ballerina Girl

I made this card for my bosses granddaughter who celebrated her birthday yesterday, she turned 5 just like my niece.  I had to do a good bit of searching before I could find any punch art where I had most of the punches.  I am excited how well this turned out. I really wish I could remember where I found the idea.  I used various punches including the Word Window punch, 2 3/8 scallop circle punch,  1 3/4 circle punch, Blossom punch, Extra Large oval punch, and the Flower Flair framelits for her tiara.  I hope she enjoyed her card as much as I enjoyed making it for her.  I hope you get to stamp today!!

1st Commissioned Work

I was asked to do my first piece of commissioned work earlier this month.  I made these table thank you notes as well as matching invites to a little girls 1st birthday party.  The little girls favorite colors are pink, yellow, and purple, I sure hope they like how they turned out.  I hope this opens a door for me to have the opportunity to do more projects like this. If I could live in my craft room full time, I would be happy forever :).  Happy Stampin' today!!
