Dino Days Club Card

I splurged on a light box but have been playing with it for the best results.  So far I need help!  I think that it would be good to go watch YouTube videos!  LOL!  This was a super cute idea based on a card by Stampin Pretty here.  I purposefully pulled out my retiring In Colors to make this card.

Stamps:
Dino Days (retiring)

Colors:  Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede (tree trunk)

Supplies:  Big Shot, Rectangle Stitched dies (for the white background), Dino dies (to cut out the dinos), Painted Labels dies (to cut out the sentiment), Call Me Clover ribbon, dimensionals

This one was easy!

1. Stamp the dinos and cut out with dies.
2. Stamp the sentiment and cut out with the die.
3. Cut out the white rectangle and stamp the palm tree.
4. Stamp the circles on the Grapefruit CS.
5. Assemble layers!

Happy stamping!

Daisy Delight Card #3

Many of my ladies were not too sure that they would like the Lemon Lime Twist but we all agree that it is a fun color.  I used it quite a bit at my recent stamp camp and it was a big hit.  This was another fun card and I was able to use scraps of the DSP leftover from my stamp camp. Woo hoo!  Always a winner to use those little leftovers.  I am going to make more cards like this one in the future so that I can use the scraps.  I hate pitching them in the trash when the paper is so pretty...

Happy stamping!

Woodland Embossing folder birthday card

Hello!  I had phone problems this week so I am late posting this picture.  First my phone died and then I had to get adjusted to a new phone, in more than one way.  I went from an LG phone to an iphone and there is still an adjustment period as I learn how to tweak everything.  So far I like it but I hate the learning curve.  LOL!

I really love this folder and I am sad that it is no longer available.  I don't think that SU realized how popular it was going to be because they are already out of the folders.  I stamped on the folder itself (negative image side) and then embossed the vanilla card front.  Next I used sponge daubers to color on the embossed trees and then I added green for the leaves and grass.  I also used the Soft Sky color to add sky.  Enjoy!

Stamps:
Lovely as a Tree
Sassy Salutations

Colors:
Soft Sky
Garden Green
Crumb Cake
Very Vanilla
Soft Suede
Momento pad in Tuxedo Black

Supplies:
Woodland folder
Big Shot
Sponge daubers
Linen thread
Snail Adhesive
Dimensionals (behind sentiment)

Happy stamping!

I found some inspiration for this card on Pinterest so feel free to check out my Truly Grateful board to see what fun cards I found over there.

It was a long day of school but I finally got the kiddos finished so that I can have fun!  We are in the middle of Nine Week Exams so there is much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in our household.  LOL!

Hope that you enjoy!  I will work on a second project tonight after dinner so that I can post it earlier in the day on Wednesday.

Happy stamping!
