Petal Pizzazz Birthday

For inspiration on today's card, I used a template for a card that I once made at a make & take at Impress. The card I had made was a Christmas card, but I needed to make some birthday cards, so I pulled out a Stampin Up stamp set that I hadn't used for awhile.

I stamped a few flowers from Petal Pizzazz onto Hawaiian Shores paper with matching ink, then stamped another flower and leaf onto white, and framed with Raspberry Fizz. Really simple, but I like how tropical it looks! Makes me want to go back to Hawaii..

CPS #182 Challenge

My second card today was inspired by the CPS Challenge. I scored the PTI Kraft paper with my Scor-Pal, then wrapped it in Summer Sunrise ribbon, and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy. It looked a little bare, so I added a button by K&Co, then mounted it all on some bright Summer Sunrise paper.

Out on a Limb Birthday Card

I pulled out one of my Fabriano cards to make this simple one-layer card. I have always liked the Papertrey Ink's Out on a Limb stamp set. It's just so pretty and you can do so much with it!

On this card, I stamped the branch in Chocolate Chip, the flowers in Groovy Guava, and the leaves in Wasabi, and the sentiment in Buckaroo Blue (all ink Stampin Up!)

Embossing Folder Sunshine

I used one of Tim Holtz's new embossing folders, and one of Papertrey Ink's fillable frames. I thought the embossing folder looked kind of like a sunrise, so I swiped some ink along the "sun rays".

Hybrid Card

I like to mix digital kits and my stamps. One of my favorite digikit designers is Zoe Pearn from Sweet Shoppe Designs. I also used Papertrey Ink's new dies, and a punch from Stampin Up to make this card.

Bind-it-All Book

I made this book with my Bind-it-All and some Memory Box papers. I had taken some pictures of flowers (practicing my new camera), and I wanted to make a book out of them. The BIA made it pretty easy to make the little book.

Mwing Card - Digital Stamps

My daughter drew this image (along with some other images) for school. I scanned them, printed them, and used them as digital stamps for some cards. I thought they were so cute! She called the character "Mwing". I colored it with Copic markers and made this card.

Stamps: Main image by my daughter Paper: SU! Pale Plum and Barely Banana, White Ink: Copics, Pale Plum Accessories: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, Copic markers, PTI ribbon, PTI button, dimensionals

Wanted - A Masculine Card

I made this card for a co-worker. I needed a "masculine" card, and the "Wanted" set from Stampin Up was really great for that. I stamped off the horse stamp to make it look like it was moving. I also used paper and a brad from Stampin Up.

Stamps: Wanted by SU! Paper: DSP by SU!, Chocolate Chip Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Corduroy brad

Basic Grey Baby Card

A baby card that I made, using one of my favorite baby stamp sets, Buggies and Booties, from Stampin Up. I love the soft images in this stamp set, and they look great embossed. I paired it with some Basic Grey paper and a Papertrey Ink sentiment.

Memory Box Happy Birthday

I was on a roll with some of the Fabriano cards - I made some birthday cards using them. This card was inspired by a card that I saw at Impress.

Watercoloring

I made this one layer card by using the Fabriano cards, stamped with Palette Noir ink. I watercolored with Stampin Up watercolor wonder crayons and a waterpen.
