Because You Care

Have you noticed that there are two hostess sets in the back of the Occasions Catalog?  I made this card using the Because You Care stamp set.  I got the idea off of pinterest.

happy-birthdayIt’s a sweet birthday card layered with some flowers.  I added the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge.  If you don’t have that set it’s often the perfect thing to add when you get done with a card and it just seems to need something.

Colors are Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla.  I used a Deco Labels framelit die and a circle punch plus the little flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

I hope you like it.

Little Critters Trio

I’m not sure I shared this cute trio of note cards featuring the Little Critters stamp set.  I think these animals are so cute and you can add a variety of words to their little signs.

little-crittersI wanted to use my cotton twine from the Occasions catalog so I matched up each animal with one of the colors – Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, and the Whisper White.  And I also featured the Irresistibly yours paper from Sale-A-Bration – Stampin’ Up! has had some paper like this in the past so maybe there will be more in our future.  Each card showed a different technique on the paper.

  1. The soft sky is sponged with a Stampin’ Sponge.
  2. The Wild Wasabi is spritzed with a Stampin’ Spritzer – filled with ink refill mixed with rubbing alcohol.
  3. The Daffodil Delight/White is actually stamped with Gorgeous Grunge and then wiped off with a tissue – so you get varying degrees of ink across the design.  Here is a closer look at that one.  critter-chickIt has a neat effect.

Each animal is stamped with Black StazOn and watercolored with an Aquapainter.  The signs have different words and Stampin’ Up! has many stamp sets with words that would fit in here.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh – I just got word that next week April 6-10 will be free shipping on all Stampin’ Up! orders so place your orders next week – with me or in my online store.
