My nephew turns "2"!

This is the card I made for my little adorable nephew who turns the big number "2" in about a week from today.  Wish we lived closer so I could see the little guy in person. :( 
To get me started on the card, I searched for a sketch to follow. I decided to use the Mojo Monday Sketch 301 as my card layout.  Near the middle of creating it,  I decided to change my card layout from landscape to portrait.  Here's what I came up with:
 Of course I grabbed my Birthday Basics DSP (again) to create the card! I used a retired birthday set for the balloons and colored them with Bermuda Bay and Summer Starfruit markers.  I also painted some shimmer paint onto the number 2 and a little paint was added to the balloons as well.
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Fabulous Phrases and Crazy for Cupcakes (retired)
INK: Black StazOn
PAPER: Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, Bermuda Bay, Gumball Green, Very Vanilla and Birthday Basics DSP
ACCESSORIES: Oval Framelits, Argyle embossing folder, Occasions and Essentials paper piercing packs, Bigz Simple Numbers Die (retired) Bermuda and Summer Starfruit markers, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler brads (retired) and Champagne Shimmer paint (retired).

Hope you are enjoying the summer!  Happy stamping!

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!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
