Lovely as a Tree!

This is a birthday card for my brother-in-law, Paul.  Again, I used the Thankful Tablescape kit from the Holiday Catalog.  It is just perfect for masculine cards!
The cardbase is Crumb Cake.  I used the paper ribbon and orange strips from the kit.  I stamped the pinecones from Lovely as a Tree randomly on the cardbase.  The tree is Always Artichoke and Early Espresso stamped on Confetti White cardstock.  I distressed the edges and added some Soft Suede ink then popped it up with dimensionals.
I hope Lovely as a Tree never retires!  Happy stamping!

Awesome card

I recently got the Yippee Skippee stamp set, and while I was looking at it, I realized that it would be easy to combine parts of the different sentiments together.  That's what I did on this card.  It's for my awesome son, Daniel.
The cardbase is Summer Starfruit, and the DSP is Soho Subway.  I adhered the DSP to the cardbase then ran it through the Big Shot with the Alphabet Press embossing folder and sanded it lightly.
The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and Island Indigo, cut out with a framelit, then I added Early Espresso ink to the edges.
Happy stamping!

Fun birthday card

Here's a fun, clean and simple birthday card!  I started with a  3 1/2 X 5 card.  I stamped the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge in Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Pacific Point.  The sentiment from Bombs Away Birthday is stamped in white craft ink onto a premade piece from the Thankful Tablescape kit.
Happy stamping!

File folder card

This is a file folder card made with the envelope punch board.  Can you tell that I love that thing??  The card base is Pumpkin Pie, and there is a layer of Quatrefancy DSP.  I also added Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon.  I got the directions for the file folder card from Patty Bennett's blog.
Happy stamping!

Another envelope

Ray's Christmas present isn't something I can wrap, but I have something printed out for him to open.  It's on a 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper, so I wanted a nice big pretty envelope for it.  I use the envelope punch board to create an envelope that would hold a 4 X 8 1/2 card, which is the size of the paper after I folded it.
The tag and stamps are from the Pop & Place kit.  The quilted ribbon is retired from last year's holiday catalog.
Happy stamping!

Coastal Cabana birthday card

This Coastal Cabana card is so pretty in person!  The card base is Coastal Cabana with a layer of Winter Frost DSP.  I added Coastal Cabana ruffled ribbon and silver ribbon on top of that.  The sentiment is from the Bombs Away photopolymer set.  I surrounded it with a ring of rhinestones.
Happy stamping!

Card box

This is a card box we made at last month's workshop.  The box holds standard 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cards.  It's made with the envelope punch board.  We added a belly band and leaf from the Thankful Tablescape kit.  The button is retired. (I got the measurements from Kim Wilson's blog.)
Happy stamping!
