AESTAMPS A LATTE

I made these cards for ladies who recently took advantage of the October special and placed orders with me.  I was anxious to use the Small Oval punch with the "thank you" image from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set as I have never used my Small Oval punch -as it is new to me. : )  I originally had planned to make 3 of the exact same card, but the thing  I love most about stamping is the "creating" part. : )  So, I guess I can say I made a "gift set" of thank you's, right? All three canneries were made exactly the same for the mass producing I had planned to do, but that's were it ended. However,  I did decide that it would be fun to incorporate the Rose Red brads (retired SU) into each card as well as to have a similar texturing  technique for the base of the card.  Hence, the "thank you" gift set. : )  For the first card, I used the awesome Woodgrain embossing folder . For each cannery, I sponged the jars with Raspberry Rippl...

Here's a card that was made by stamp club ladies last month using the awesome Perfectly Preserved stamp set and matching Cannery Framelit Dies.  In making this card, we also got to use the Festive paper piercing mat for the Window Frames Framelits Die.  I love, love this pack as well as the Essentials paper piercing pack that can be found on page 181 of the 2012-2013 catalog. Paper piercing as never been so easy...and perfect! Recipe: Stamps:   Perfectly Preserved Paper: Early Espresso, More Mustard, Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade and Orchard Harvest DS papers.

Here's another Perfectly Preserved card I made using the cute apples.  I did follow a sketch layout that I saw at the "Freshly Made Sketches" blog from last week.  The directions were that we could use any of the past layouts in honor of their one year anniversary.  Can you tell which one I used?? : ) All new goodies....so much fun.  I stamped one apple in Raspberry Ripple onto Raspberry Ripple card stock and the other was stamped with Cajun Craze ink onto Cajun Craze card stock.  I also used the Large Scallop Edgelit and matching Delicate Designs embossing folder (love it).  The next picture isn't the best...but here's the side/close up.

Here's another simple card using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalog. I sponged Pool Party ink into the jar to make it look like there was water in it.  I added the flowers using my Raspberry Ripple ink and the Cannery Framelits and popped the center of the flower with a Champagne Glimmer circle using the Cupcake Builder punch ... and there you have it! Now who wouldn't love to get one in the mail? : ) Recipe: Stamps: Perfectly Preserved and Loving Thoughts stamp sets; Paper: Early Espresso, Raspberry Ripple, Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla and Orchard Harvest DS paper; Ink: Early Espresso, Raspberry  Ripple, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party; Accessories: Cannery Framelits, Cupcake Builder punch, Delicate Designs Embossing folder, Large Scallop Edgelit, Champagne Glimmer paper and dimensionals.   Happy Tuesday!!!
