AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, my stamping friends.  I did not announce, but I was out of the state last week vacationing in Florida with my family....trying to remember what warm weather feels like.  It was a great time, and even my fair skin got color. :)  Most days were sunny with some rain and clouds, but all in all, just perfect for us Minnesotans. We came back to more snow on the ground (bummer) and we are expecting another inch or so of snow tonight. Sigh..... Today is the LAST day to place a $50 order and receive Sale-a-bration goodies. So I thought I would show you this cute little 3 x 3 box and matching cards I made using the See You Later SAB stamp set. The first picture is of the box laying flat on the table with an adorable red flower on it made using the Spiral Flower Die (#129379).  It is surrounded by the cute cards. The next picture is of the box leaning against my backdrop so that you can see just how pretty that spiral flower really is. :) Next are the cut...

Last night I made the last card for my club on Tuesday night, and today I made a card with a few of the leftover pieces.  We are making a chalkboard frame card at club tomorrow...(thanks to Becky from Inking Idaho) .  She is talented.  Anyways, I had a leftover Bermuda Bay piece stamped with the Hardwood background stamp after I cut the chalkboard frame in the rectangle shape below.  I still had all my colors out for the club card we are making..so I just used them all again! See, it's okay to leave a messy stamp table. : )   This card is 4 1/2" by 5 1/2".  I made a matching envelope with my envelope punch board.  Very fun and so easy!  Love it. Plus, making a matching envelope really makes the handmade card look even more special.    RECIPE:  STAMPS: Geometrical, Hardwood and Petal Parade (SAB) INK: White Craft pad, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Basic Gray and Onyx Black Versafine PAPER:  Kaleidos...
