Rustic Rooster

I can't believe that this is the first time I am using this stamp set and it is retiring. I really like this set, but just had not pulled it off the shelf until today. I am going to keep this one because I know I will use it again. It was a level 2 hostess set. All card stock is retiring... Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze.

Three Little Words

Here is another card with Rasperberry Tart. Isn't this paper just great? The color palate is just awesome! Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Real Red, Cameo Coral! These papers just compliment each other so well! The stamp set I used is "Three Little Words". I copied this layout from one I found on Splitcoast. I will have to do some digging to find the sample card since I never saved it. Have a happy "hump day"! :)

A Little Somethin'

Good morning! I finally had a little time to get into my craft room to stamp. My husband has been adding some shelves for me, (love him!!), so it has been a mess this past week. This first card is from a really cool NEW hostess Level 2 stamp set from the new catalog called "A Little Somethin' ". All stamps in this set are sized to perfectly be punched from a variety of SU! punches.
On this card I used the 1 3/4 punch with Spellbinders Nestabilites for the larger circle and scallop. I really like how the Night of Navy card stock made this card pop! I am going to use that color more this year! I get stuck on certain color combos and I need to design outside my box!! :)


My sister has a birthday coming up, so I made this easy little card for her with the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White and So Saffron card stock, Riding Hood Red ribbon and the ticket punch.

Time to write "Thank Yous"

Time to write all the "Thank Yous" for all the wonderful Christmas goodies and gifts. I bought a bunch of this felt ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog and to be quite honest, I wasn't sure I would like it, but it really did look cute with Frosty Day DS paper, also from the mini catalog. If you ever think that you might not like something...try it! You might be surprised!!

Stamp Camp This Monday!!

I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday! There are so many things to show and so little time!

I love this card! This is a sample of one that we will be making at Stamp Camp. We are using a different color because I have used the Soft Sky card stock for another station. I hope Stampin' Up! decides to keep Soft Sky in the future. It retires at the end of this catalog season. This is my favorite blue out of all the blues in the regular line. Soft Sky and River Rock look so awesome together. I am going to buy a ton of Soft Sky and River Rock before they retire!! I have made a handful of cards with both those colors that I need to get photographed. Maybe later today, I can post... Happy Stamping!!

Heartfelt Thanks

I had to make a few "thank you" cards and I like the way these cards turned out. So I thought I would share them with you! I used my Cuttlebug to make the embossed background. Here is what else I used:
Stamp set: Heartfelt Thanks page 89 of the current catalog
Card Stock: Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke and Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink Pads: Basic Black
Pens: Always Artichoke and Lovely Lilac
