Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue.  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : ) 

Recipe:
Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets;
Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock;
Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks;
White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine.
Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Amazing Sister card

Hello! 
I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend.  Mine was filled with hockey and sleepovers. : )
This weekend we are heading up north for a weekend long hockey tournament.  Should be a lot of fun - even if we don't win...parents will actually get to socialize! Woo-Who!

Here's a card I made a while back.  I'm not very good at taking pictures and getting them onto my blog in a timely fashion....but hey, I'm doing it now! : )  I love how it turned out...and will case the layout for the other word choices in the Amazing Family stamp set.  Obviously I will use masculine paper for the brother/father cards. : )

 Supplies used:
Amazing Family and Madison Avenue (SAB) stamp sets;
River Rock, Pool Party, Whisper White card stock and Sycamore Street DSP (SAB)
Stazon Black, Pool Party, River Rock and Rich Razzleberry ink;
Window Frames Framelits, Festive Paper-piercing template,  Tasteful Trim Bigz Die, Little Leaves Sizzlits, Floral Frames Framelits, Sycamore Street Button (SAB), Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon, Basic Pearls and sponge dauber.

Well, thanks for stopping by.  Hope you like it as much as I do! Happy stamping!!! : )

Happy Valentines Day!

I know I haven't shared many cards since the begining of the year, but family (and hockey) comes first! : ) I debated if I should even post these cards...but decided that it would still be fun to share even if these are not my best....I procrastinated making my own kids cards/treat bags to the last minute.  Ever happen to you???
Anyways, these are the very quickly made cards I gave my children this morning.  Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!


 Like I said, not my best by any means...but they liked them anyways...and its the thought that counts, right???  Happy stamping!
