Pretty Postage meets Every Little Bit

Hello! Today I have a little thank you note that I made for my Paper Craft Academy members to enclose with their materials to make this month's projects. I thought it turned out really cute!

The main image was stamped with the Pretty Postage stamp set, & the leaves are from the Every Little Bit stamp set. I punched out the greeting with the new 1" Square punch & matted it with the Postage Stamp Punch. Easy!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

My Baby Shower Thank You Card

Hello! Boy, the day really got away from me today. I wanted to quickly post & show you the card that I finally decided to use for the thank you notes from my baby shower. It is similar to a card that I shared a couple of weeks ago, but I changed the color scheme & ribbon. I love how it turned out!

Isn't it sweet?

I know I've been showing a bunch of baby & Christmas cards lately, but that is where my mind is these days! I can't believe I have less than 8 weeks until Baby Girl arrives & even less than that until Christmas!

SC355 CC345 Baby Bundle

Ohmygoodness. Today's card was one of those that I thought would take me 5 minutes to make, & it took over an hour! My stamping mojo is running a little slow this morning, I guess. 

Today's card was inspired by the sketch and color challenges over on Splitcoast. The color challenge was Blushing Bride, Lucky Limeade, & Regal Rose, with a bonus challenge of adding on gold embossing. Since I've been making baby shower thank you cards like crazy lately, I thought this sketch would be a cinch with the Baby Bundle stamp set. 

What do you think? I kept adding & changing things, but I think I'm happy with the way it turned out.

To make the gold mats, I stamped my Versamark ink pad all over the edges of the paper, sprinkled gold embossing powder over & applied heat. I love that effect!

Baby Bundle Thank You Card

I am getting so excited about our little baby that is on the way! On Tuesday, I had a 3D Ultrasound, and it was just like looking at a newborn baby! It was incredible.

My dear friend, Jenn, is throwing us a couples' baby shower this Saturday. I just can't believe it is already time for a shower! I decided to start making some thank you notes, so this is one option that I've come up with.

 It is sweet & simple, so I should be able to make a bunch of those pretty quickly. It is a lot of watercoloring, though!

I absolutely love that Baby Bundle stamp set! I can't wait to use it in my scrapbook for Baby Girl (still unnamed). I am so excited to scrapbook our ultrasound photos!

SC352 Full of Life

I am so in love with the Spice Cake DSP that I find that I want to use it for everything! I just love the color combination, and it makes me ready for cooler fall weather. Luckily, I think we are getting a cold front tonight! It has been really warm here in VA this week.

This card was inspired by the sketch challenge over on Splitcoast today.

The main image was stamped in Early Espresso with the greeting from the Full of Life stamp set, which is one of my favorite word sets. I sponged some Early Espresso around the edges & used my Color Spritzer Tool & More Mustard marker all over it.

The leaves were die cut with the Leaves #2 Die, then run through the Big Shot in the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I love that look!

I debated over whether to add More Mustard Buttons or the Pool Party Brads, but in the end I wanted to add in another touch of color. I like how it turned out!

Yes, I still have babies on the brain. I just found out that I will be induced on December 28th, so that is all I can think about these days. Still so much work to do to get ready for her arrival!

I have wanted the Baby Bundle stamp set ever since I found out I was pregnant, & I finally broke down and got it. I love it! This card will be a perfect thank you card for my baby shower.

Aren't those little images darling? This card is for the Clean & Simple Stamping Sketch Challenge today.

CAS135 Faith in Nature

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a stamp class here yesterday, & we had a lot of fun!

Today's project was inspired by the Clean & Simple challenge over on Splitcoast.

I inked the pear from the Faith in Nature stamp set (a Stampin' Up! Hostess Stamp Set) in Jet Black Staz On & stamped on a piece of vellum cardstock. Then I took my markers & colored it on the back of the vellum. I adhered it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock with gold brads, so the adhesive wouldn't show through the vellum.

The patterned paper is from the Brights Patterns DSP Paper Pack, & the Calypso Coral mat was embossed with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder & the Big Shot.

STAMPS: Faith in Nature (122492 CM or 122490 WM), Thank You Kindly (111700)

Trendy Trees thank yous

Well, the first week of school has had me a little scattered, & I wasn't as organized with my blog as I had hoped. Sorry I missed a day or two this week! Hopefully we'll settle into the groove, & I'll be back to posting every day soon. I hope you all are having a great week!

Today, I've been busy working on Paper Craft Academy, uploading the videos & getting the materials together to mail to the club members. I always include a thank you card inside the envelope with the project materials, so this is the card that I came up with for this month:

I'd forgotten how much I love this adorable Trendy Trees stamp set! I decided to play with my Color Spritzer Tool, so some cards are like the one above & some are like this one:

Which one do you like better? I can't decide!

I used my Always Artichoke, More Mustard, & Riding Hood Red markers to color the leaves of the tree. It was surprisingly quick, considering how many leaves there are & how many cards & was making! Ha!
