This the card that I made for my shoebox swap for last Saturday. I had a wonderful demonstrators meeting where I made some really fun projects. I used Eastern Blooms. This the first time that I used this stamp set. I have no idea why I waited so long, it's so fun to use! I also used new in-colors so you have a chance to see these in action. This is Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry and Dusty Durango cardstock and ink colors. I inked in Razzleberry some flowers on the side of my base cardstock. I stamped my flowers and cut them out, putting a little bit of glitter on the inside of the flowers. I also used Great Friend from the mini which also made it in to the new catty! Yeah! I love this set.
Here is a card using stamps from Stamp a Sweet Impression. I just love these little cuppies. I used some retired Cutie Pie paper from SU (scraps!) on kraft cardstock, tied off with some ribbon from my stash and some buttons also from SU. The cuppies are colored using my copics.
Now for a little eye candy. I created this card for last week's MFT challenge to use 3 papers from different lines. I used SU's Riding Hood Red DP, SU Sherbert and Dream Street. The stamp set was MFT's Birthday Flopsey. I used copics on Flopsey and then went over him with coffee shimmerz. The cupcake was paper pieced. I also used a strip of riding hood red satin ribbon and matching color button. The base cardstock is glorious green. 
Here is a fun card that I made possibly for my dad for Father's Day. He's a surfer and has surfed almost his entire life so I always try and make him surf themed or Hawaiian themed cards. This stamp set is from SU called Just Surfing. That's another thing, I have tons of Hawaiian and surf themed stamp sets! This set is really cute and very inexpensive. To make the waves, I stamped the wave stamp in Pacific Point on Pacific Point card stock, I then cute the wave out and over lapped them on top of one another. I used dimensionals to create the wave look. I stamped my surfboards using Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point. The sign is from What's Your Sign from MFT. The card base is kraft and I finished it off with this big button and tangerine tango ribbon.
Here's Lily grabbing her little cake.
Taking her first bite and she smiled so big, she really loved her first taste of cake.
I just wanted a little piece and she told me no way! She wasn't sharing with anybody including Mommy.
I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend! I did not get to stamp unfortunately, I did a little bit of scrapbooking but I still have to finish titles and journaling to complete the pages. I did a lot of running around over the weekend, preparing for Lily's 1st birthday party this weekend. Today, we had a little picnic in the park. Anyhow, on to the card. I used my SU Rose is a Rose stamp set. I stamped the rose in Riding hood red and Rose red. The leaves are kiwi kiss and the sentiment is Verve stamps in chocolate. The dp is Bella Rose layered with chocolate, kiwi kiss and riding hood red. I accented it with this pretty kiwi kiss ribbon. I love how this came out and my 2 step rose came out perfectly because I used my stamp-a-ma-jig. Can you believe that I have had this for 10 years and this is the first time I've every used it? It made my rose come out perfectly. I am so happy because usually I have very iffy success with these type of stamps! The other thing that I did with this card is that I stamped a second rose and cut out parts of the rose and layered it onto the original rose with dimensionals so it looks a little more realistic! Enjoy!
