Stamp with Amy

Easy Events

I was playing with my new Paper Doily Sizzlits Die, & I thought a tone-on-tone card would be really pretty with the large doily. I love the Pool Party color for a baby card, so this is what I came up with:

It's so soft & pretty with the So Saffron/ Pool Party combo!

Today's project features the new In Colors and one of the new stamp sets called Betsy's Blossoms. I wanted to feature as many of the stamps in the set as I could and all of the new colors, so this is what I came up with.

The bird is stamped in Midnight Muse, the leaf in Gumball Green, the big reddish flowers in Raspberry Ripple, the smaller pink flowers in Primrose Petals, and the biggest flower in Summer Starfruit, which I thumped with my Cajun Craze marker. What do you think of the new colors?

East Events Mojo

Happy Monday! I have really had babies on the brain lately, especially since my belly has popped & I am finally showing! This week I am half way through my pregnancy, & I feel great. I had my ultrasound this morning, & Baby Girl is doing great! Woohoo!

I've also had babies on the brain lately because I need to make several baby cards. Today's card is for my husband's coworker, who had a baby boy a few months ago. When I saw the Mojo Monday sketch, I realized that the Easy Events stamp set would be perfect for this sketch, & I could finally get that baby card made!

Isn't that little duck cute?

I ordered the Nursery Nest DSP during our awesome Buy 3 Get 1 Free DSP promotion this month, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I used the adorable letter paper from the Just Add Cake DSP. Perfect for a baby card! The sweet Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder makes a great background on this card.

Easy Events Wedding Card

Happy Sunday! Today I have a quick & easy wedding card to share. It features the Easy Events stamp set. 

I love how this turned out!

Circle Circus Baby Card

This morning as I was driving back home from dropping my kids at camp, I started thinking about stamps sets that I haven't used in a while, & I decided that I wanted to make a baby card with the Circle Circus stamp set. Then I got home & checked out the Clean & Simple Sketch today, & my card idea fit in perfectly with the sketch! That is what I call serendipity!

 That new Pool Party In Color is so gorgeous with the other Subtles colors! Yummy! I added some tiny pearls to the center of some of the circles for a sweet touch of bling.

I haven't mentioned this yet on my blog, but I've had babies on the brain lately because I'm pregnant! We already know that it is a girl and she is due in early January. My other children are 12 & 10, & they are so excited! This is truly a gift for our family.

Goodbye Teddy & Train

Today I am off to Florida, where it will be a heat index of over 100 degrees each day! Yikes! We are going with my whole, huge family though, so we will have fun no matter how hot it gets!

Today's project is a fond look back at the Teddy & Train stamp set, which is retiring on June 30th! It is such a sweet set for a baby or young child.

I inked him on Watercolor Paper & colored him with Aquapainters & Classic Ink.  I think the color blocking behind the main image is sweet for a baby card.

Word Play Graduation Card

Today, my kids are off of school for a teacher work day, so I wasn't planning on spending any time in my stamp room. But then I took a peek at the Mojo Monday sketch, & I instantly thought of a graduation card for my sister, who graduated from SMU this weekend. The Word Play stamp set is perfect for this challenge and a graduation card! Even better, SMU's colors are red & blue, so the Celebrations DSP worked perfectly, too!

I love the image of the butterfly flying off, chasing her dreams!

Happy Anniversary, Honey!

Today is my 15th wedding anniversary, so I made this card for my darling husband.

Let me tell you... a lot happens in 15 years! We've weathered a lot of storms and had some great times, & I love him madly! :-)

My original thought was a black & white card, maybe with some of the Red Glimmer Paper thrown in... maybe the Newsprint or First Edition DSP. Then I looked through my DSP box & saw this gorgeous Elegant Soiree DSP, & I knew that it would be perfect! Not many of our papers are suitable for a masculine card, but this paper is soft and masculine at the same time. Love it!

I stamped the champagne glasses inside from the Cheers to You stamp set, and also stamped Happy Anniversary from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. The sentiment on the outside of the card is from the Full of Life stamp set, which I love, love, love! I haven't used it much yet, but it is so great for scrapbooking & has a nice saying for lots of occasions. It is perfect for my hubby!

I punched a tiny heart for the matching button & used my Paper Piercing Tool to punch the button holes in the DSP. I attached them together with a mini glue dot, then threaded a strip of Soft Suede cardstock through.

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

STAMPS: Full of Life (111500), Cheers to You (114944), Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)

CARDSTOCK: Baja Breeze (111351), Soft Suede (115318), Very Vanilla (101650)

Word Play Sketch

Hello! Today's project was inspired by the sketch challenge over on Splitcoast. This is an easy layout to use for so many different stamp sets & accessories... I'm sure that I will use it again and again!

I love this Springtime Vintage DSP with the larger pattern & smaller pattern together. I'm a little sad today, so the sentiment in the wonderful Word Play stamp set perfectly suited my mood. I added the die cut butterflies to keep the card cheery & to compliment the DSP.

I usually try to keep everything on my blog really positive & upbeat, but today I want to share that my mom is really sick. She is in the Intensive Care Unit & I'm scared to death. So if you could include her in your prayers or send some positive energy her way, I'd really appreciate it. Her name is Nan Dalton.
