Tonight’s Stamp Camp Projects
Tonight was the kick off to our Six Stamp a Stack class series. Each stamper created 12 cards, 3 each of the four designs seen below. The back two cards were designs of mine and the front two were variations of others I found online. All told we made 6 wintery thank you cards and 6 birthday cards in under 2 hours! And had fun while doing it!!
Our next one is scheduled for January 5th. We’d love to have you stamp with us! We’ll be creating 6 Valentine cards and 6 Anniversary/Wedding cards. For more information click here. To RSVP for the 5th please click here. Thank you!
DD’s Birthday Invitation
Funny enough we now have a child’s birthday to celebrate each quarter of the calendar year! LOL And next month is our oldest daughter’s birthday so the last of her invitations went out in today’s mail. But before they went I had to take some pictures to share with you all!
I think Crazy for Cupcakes might be my current favorite set! Remember I used it for both the invites and thank you’s for my other daughter’s birthday and I’ve recently done a Cupcakes Class and I used it for my technique club recently as well, among other instances I’m sure!
This instance of using the set just made sense because the tier of cupcakes has 6 cupcakes in it and my daughter will be turning 6! She thought that was just perfect. We decided easily on the pink and brown color scheme and used the retired Berry Bliss DSP along with Pretty in Pink CS. I didn’t have enough of the Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon for all the invites but I thought the pink striped ribbon looked just as good (if not, perhaps, better!). And of course the Big Shot was used a TON with the Top Note die, not just for the outside but the inside as well. And if you remember from a few posts ago I used one of the cards from the Hawaii boards as inspiration for the layout of the card. We’re pleased in our house at how they turned out and are looking forward to a fun birthday party!
Cute Cupcake Party Favor
The above is NOT my creation nor my idea but I thought it was too cute not to share! My niece’s sitter and friend and fellow SU! demonstrator, Shelli Ide, helped her make these last month as birthday favors for her party. She did a variety of colors (blue, purple, pink) and they cover small notepads. They’re just adorable! I know the scan doesn’t really show the notepad but my camera is packed in my hospital bag and I’m not trudging all the way upstairs to get it!
Alright, hopefully next time I post I will no longer be pregnant!

More Catching Up…
Okay, so this one I’m actually on time for! LOL These thank you’s were for my DD#2′s 4th birthday party which just happened on 12/13. (You may remember me posting her invitations here.) I conitinued the color scheme and the balloon from the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. I used the same retired DSP as on her invite, just a different pattern in the package. I watercolored the balloons with the retired Cool Caribbean ink refill and then colored over it with the Versamarker and embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. The ‘thank you’ is from All Holidays and stamped in Always Artichoke. The card stock is Kraft, Old Olive, Cool Caribbean, and Whisper White. I used the blender pen with Sahara Sand ink over the string on the balloon. And the ribbon is the Always Artichoke 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. These will all go out in tomorrow’s mail (and I finished them on New Year’s Eve! Woohoo! It must be a new record for me for getting thank you notes made and out in a timely manner!)
Happy New Year!!
