Monster Thank Yous

Yes, another Make a Monster card!  You saw the invites to my little one's party… and here are the Thank You notes. 

My baby wanted a Monsters, Inc party, that's why the Monster but that proved nearly impossible because there's just not much out there any more for Monsters, Inc.  But at least the invites and thank yous were Monsters, right?  And we played soccer and other games at a nearby indoor facility, hence the soccer balls on the thank yous.  Again, my youngest was on my lap while I made most of these and he would giggle every time I glued a googlie eye on them so I know he likes the cards!!    And I thought it fitting to post these on my blog today since today is his actually 3rd birthday!!

Have a great day!

More Apothecary Art? Yes, Please!

I can't get enough of the Apothecary Art Stamp set and the coordinating Labels Framelits so here's another sample for you!

Colors used include Soft Suede, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz (for the banner), Lucky Limeade (for the markering).  The DSP is from the In Color Stack.  Love.  And I used a couple different types of ribbons, some I put rhinestone brads on, others had pearls in the corner.  Just little touches here and there.  Love playing with all the doodads. I don't know if you can see it but I also put a dab of Dazzling Details in the center of all the flowers and used the Color Spritzer tool with the Peach Parfait marker on the main image just to shabby-it-up a little more.   Oh and if you look closely, the one with the Crumb Cake ribbon I put the Vintage Wallpaper embossed image "raised side up" and on the other card I put the embossed card stock "raised side down."  It's fun to play and change things up a bit here and there!

Hope you like!

Raining Flowers…

Kind of a silly title for a stamp set if you ask me but I do LOVE the stamp set!  I was looking through some old pictures and found this card I made this July.  I love the colors of this.  I think the picture is a little off for the colors but if I remember correctly the colors are Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz(?) and Blushing Bride.  Really some fun colors with a fun two step stamp set.  I hope those few people who received this card enjoyed it!

Truly an Easy Card

Here is a card we made at my Open House Bingo night.  Now typically, I have a hard time doing "simple" cards.  I always want to add a little of this, a little of that, a punch here, a dab there… LOL.  But I purposely tried to go simple with this versatile new stamp set called "Easy Events."  So here's the card…

So, what does it use?

Well….

Stamp Set: Easy Events
Card Stock: Basic Black, NEW Wisteria Wonder, Watercolor Paper, and Very Vanilla
Ribbon: Certainly Celery striped grosgrain
Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Wisteria Wonder marker with aquapainter, Pear Pizzazz marker

And a few dimensionals, mini glue dots, and adhesive!  Truly Simple and still pretty! 

A Thankful Butterfly

I held my first 10/10/20 class a few weeks ago.  We made 10 different cards that should've taken about 10 minutes each to create and the fee was $20.  Here is one of the cards my guests made…

As you can tell it uses some retired items (the button, the DSP) but those are very easy to replace!

I'll be doing another 10/10/20 on July 6th if you'd like to join us!  RSVP to save your spot!
