Happy 4th!!!

Here is one of the projects that I promised to share with you using the scallop border punch that is on sale right now through Stampin' Up! Get it soon, the sale ends tomorrow!!! Each week for the month of July they will have a special product on sale. See my Stampin' Up! website for more details: http://jenorbaker.stampinup.net/.

For this card I used my new stamp set called Wings of Friendship. It is a level 2 Hostess set, which means that you need to hold a Stampin' Up! workshop of your very own to get it. I also used my new In-Color Markers to color it in. I love having the new In-Colors in markers this year! I am so excited about that!!!!

If you look close I also used some new In-Color textured paper for one of the layers. And the designer paper is also new and called Tall Tales. I used the scallop border punch on the designer paper layer. I also used my tool kit and pierced all away around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday!

I made this card for another Whimsy Challenge. Today was my last day as guest designer for their challenge blog. I really enjoyed being their guest designer for the month of June! They have some of the cutest stamps! I'm still waiting for Denise to come out with a cow stamp, lol!

For this card I used the cute Whimsy Duck. I had received these stamped images from a friend. I cut out two of them and gave them little party hats since this is a Birthday card! For the background I used the faux grid technique that I saw over on Dawn's blog. She does a great tutorial video for this technique, you should check her out!

Just Chicken In

I saw a card like this in a magazine and just couldn't resist making it. It says "Just Chicken In." Isn't it adorable?

The stamp set is called Best of Cluck and is retired Stampin' Up! I used the photo corner punch for the yellow layer underneath the chicken. And I also added 2 silver brads on the top.

The chicken wire stamp was just a background stamp that I had gotten from someone, there is no name on the stamp. But I know that Stampin' Up! used to have one just like this a few years ago.

I used my Stampin' Up! sponges and sponged chocolate chip ink around the edges of all the cardstock.

Supplies:

Stamps: Best of Cluck, Unknown Chicken Wire Background

Paper: Real Red, Whisper white, Barely Banana, Basic Black

Ink: Black Stazon, Chocolate Chip, Stampin' Up! Markers

Acc: Photo Corner Punch, Hole Punch, Silver Brads, Sponge

Hope you all are having a great weekend! Me and hubby are heading to the casino with some friends for the weekend! We are celebrating my friend's and my birthdays!

Wedding Invitation Samples

Yes, I still have more wedding invitation samples to share with you all. This one was made with purely pomegranate cardstock. The white layer was stamped with God's Beauty stamp set. The two pink flowers are cut out and a pretty rhinestone brad placed in the center. Just a simple, yet pretty invitation.

This sample is a single layer invite also. Made with basic black, cameo coral, and whisper white. The cameo strip layer is embossed with the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. I like the scallop circle punch with the horseshoe stamp on the inside. That could very easily be changed to a monogram stamp for the couples last name. Also very easy to change the colors to match the couple's wedding theme.

This is a reception card that I had made to match one of the other wedding samples that I had made. This first picture is the outside, just embossed with the Cuttlebug.

And this is the inside with all of the information and a little stamping to match the inviation with the paisley pattern.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Cased Wedding Towels Card

I totally cased this card from Lori's Blog. She had a lot of really nice cards that I just had to make! And since I needed a card for the bridal shower this past weekend, this one was perfect!

I used retired Soft Sky paper and ink on my card, but you can easily use any color! I also didn't have a Mr and Mrs stamp, so I just hand wrote those on. Isn't this too cute? This would be perfect for any wedding, bridal shower, or anniversary!

The towels measure 1 1/4 x 3 1/2, and they were run through my Cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. I also used more soft sky paper and the eyelet border punch to make the little details at the bottom of the towels.

Thanks for stopping by!

With Love Whimsy

I really love this Whimsy Frog!! I made this for the Whimsy Challenge Blog this week. We had to do a Recipe Challenge: 2 papers, 1 ribbon, and 3 brads.

As you can see, I am directionally challenged also! I did use 2 papers, the designer paper is double sided, so I just flipped the one over. And I also used 3 jumbo eylettes instead of brads, oh well! What's a girl to do? I think it turned out cute!

I distressed all the edges of the paper with my sponge and choc chip ink. And I added the white dots to the scallop circle with my white gel pen. I really had fun making this card!

Details:

Stamps: Whimsy Frog, Yummy (SU)

Ink: Black, Choc Chip, SU Markers

Paper: White, Close to Cocoa, Parisian Breeze Designer Paper

Acc: Scallop Circle Punch, Cullozzle, Dimensionals , White Gel Pen, Green Ribbon, Jumbo Eylettes

ETA: Forgot to mention that I used the Weekend Sketch Challenge to make my card! You can see the sketch over on this blog. My card size is 4x4!!

Lucky Duck!

This is another cute card using the Wagon Full of Fun stamp set and the Pairsian Breeze Paper. Love them!!!!! I wish I had more of this cute little duck image! I kept it plain and simple and just colored him in with my Stampin' Up! markers. I used the ticket corner punch and added some silver brads on all 4 corners. I also punched out the Lucky Duck! saying with my large oval punch, and used the scalloped oval punch in close to cocoa behind it. Placed it on the card using my dimensionals - from Stampin' Up! Love those little pop-up dots. I think I just about use them on every project these days.

Wagon Full of Fun

This cute little duck image comes from the stamp set called Wagon Full of Fun by Stampin' Up! Isn't he cute? I don't own this set, but was sent some stamped images from a friend. Now I really want this set!!!

I've had these images for several weeks and haven't done anything with them until I was on Jenn D's blog. She has made the cutest projects with this little duck!!! This card was totally cased from her card here.

This was my first time using the Parisian Breeze Specialty paper from Stampin' Up! I can't believe I waited so long to get some of this gorgeous paper!!!!! And it is retiring next week. You better get some now!!!!! It is the most wonderful textured paper that I've used!!!!

Stayed tuned for more cute duck projects!

Happy Staming!
