Last Chance Stamp a Stack Cards

Here’s what the girls will be stamping tonight…

One is the card featured earlier on my blog here.  The second is a simple trifold card using the Wild About You set.  The third is a hinged card using the oh-so-beautiful Heartfelt Thanks set and Filigree brads.  The final card features the fun Doodle This stamp set an a button from the Button Bouquet assortment.

Tonight’s Club Cards

So even though the blog doesn’t show it I have been very busy lately!  Here are the THREE projects for my fabulous club members tonight.  One is a waterfall card ( a very scaled down version of the fabulous waterfall card given to me a bit ago, more info here about that beauty), the second is a fun and simple shutter card, and the third uses punches to create some tres chic purses!  Lots of fun to be had tonight at club!  See you ladies soon.

PCP Color Challenge 6

And the color challenges keep on coming…

Inspiration Piece:

My Creation:

Uses Bella Rose DSP. All the colors in the challenge were used – some more so than others. The Pixie Pink is the outline flower both on the center image and stamped on the DSP. The Pink Pirouette is the DSP, the main image flower, and the taffeta ribbon. Green Galore is found in the stem and the cardstock. Garden Green is the stem outline and the sentiment. And lastly, Riding Hood Red is the card base, sponged on the outside of the main image, and in the center of the flower. The stamp set is Heartfelt Thanks.

Great Card, Great News

Isn’t that card gorgeous?  I wish I could take credit for it but I cannot.  My friend, Dawn Bosland, a demo from Massachusetts sent it to me this weekend.  It uses the Upsy Daisy stamp set (that’s on sale right now!) and the new Riding Hood Red card stock, taffeta ribbon (to die for – I must get some immediately!), the Bella Rose designer paper, a ribbon slide, and silver brads.  It also uses the new Pink Pirouette card stock and the Kiwi Kiss card stock.  And I LOVE IT!  Honestly, the whole card is just put together so nicely.  The slight sponging of Riding Hood Red around the edges of the Whisper White card stock is just perfect too.  Thank you Dawn for such a fabulous card!

Now some of you might be wondering why on Earth would someone be sending me a Congratulations card?  (In case you can’t see it "Congratulations" is stamped in Riding Hood Red ink on the bottom left of the card.)  Well, I’ll answer that question for you in one word: "fourth".  Does that give it away? If not, I’ll use more words for you – we’re expecting our fourth child this coming March (6th to be exact).  I know, I know, our youngest just turned one YESTERDAY but our girls are 19 months apart and then our son and this one will be 18 months apart.  So, there is a reason for it even though I completely understand how it sounds insane to most people!  LOL  We’re happy and I’m exhausted but exhaustion as you moms know is just a way of life!  So that’s it – a great card and great news.  Happy Stamping!
