Congrats to Grandparents

Here's another Paper Pierced card. I used my Famiy Reunion stamp set to make this grandparents card for friends who just added another grandson to their family.

CASEing Stampin' Success

Happy Easter Bunny is another stamp I purchased last spring. I used markers to color parts of the stamped image. The card base has been run through the Big Shot using the Large Polka Dot textured embossing folder. I got the idea from this card from the Quarter 2 Stampin' Success magazine that is published for demonstrators. This issue had lots of card ideas I want to CASE.Other tools used are the Banner framelits and 3/4" circle punch.

Easter Blessings is another retired stamp from my stash. This card uses the same layout as other card. I just changed the orientation, used a smaller banner and added some Wild Wasabi thick Baker's twine from my stash.

Amazing Birthday

I finally caved in and purchased the Amazing Birthday stamp set. And I have to say I do not regret it! So many fun ways to use this set. Here I've used a piece of matching Designer Series Paper I found in my stash and used markers to ink the expression stamp. I used my Banner Framelits for quick cutting of the banners. A quick masculine card!

Banner Cut Out

I saw a card where the banner was cut out along the edge and expression was stamped above that cut out. I changed it up a bit. This was a quick and easy card using my Big Shot, Banner Framelits and Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper.

Here's another card using one of the foil sheets from the Birthday Bash DSP. I used the Small Oval punch and the feet from the Owl Builder Punch to make the balloons.

Amazing Birthday

I was looking for some new birthday images and Amazing Birthday caught my eye. This is my first card using the set.

TBT is Seeing Stars - Day 4

For TBT I've used one of the first stamp sets I purchased, Starring You. I've used the retired Gumball Green ink pad and three patterns from the retired Birthday Basics DSP along with retired Summer Starfruit Ribbon and card stock for the star. All those pieces are layered on a piece of retired Raspberry Ripple card stock and attached to the Very Vanilla card base.

Sympathy Cards

 Here are two cards using the Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper, My use certainly doesn't go along with the name of this DSP, but I was in need of some more masculine looking sympathy cards. The top card was my first attempt. It uses a couple of retired stamp sets and the new White Jute Ribbon. I like it but still wasn't quite as masculine as I wanted. So I used a different patter of the paper in the card below and paired it with the retired Herringbone embossing folder. Both cards use the white embossing powder. I have finally put the powder away!
