Hey Chick!

This stamp set is so cute.

My Stampin' Up! demonstrator attaches a hand-made tag to each and every order.  This is actually one of those tags that was attached to one of my orders.  I trimmed the tag down a wee bit so it would fit on a card front, and re-purposed it into a card.

Dontcha just love it?!

All supplies Stampin' Up!

One Wild Ride

I wanted to take 2 stamp sets that don't really go together and make them work together.  And...everything had to be current Stampin' Up! (not retired) to be used in a card swap.  So, here I joined Kinda Eclectic and One Wild Ride and Blushing Bride card stock and Ink.  Result...a pink-themed motorcycle card!

To achieve the starburst in the background, first stamp the motorcycle in black, then cut out a motorcycle mask from some thin copy paper, then stamp the starburst over the masked motorcycle.  If you don't mask it, it looks weird with the pink stripes through the bike.

Supplies:

Kinda Eclectic
One Wild Ride
Best Badge Punch
Blushing Bride card stock and ink
Whisper White card stock
Basic Black ink

9 Blocks of Scrap Paper

I had a bunch of scrap pieces of coordinating papers, so decided to put them to good use.  I love these colors together. This is such an easy way to use up your scraps using a 1" square punch and the SU Postage Stamp punch - or you could use a 1 1/4" square punch if you don't have the postage stamp punch - or, you don't even need a punch...just a trimmer.

Supplies:

Creative Imaginations Oceanside Paper Pad
Night of Navy (SU) card stock
Sahara Sand (SU) card stock
White Confetti (SU) card stock
Sentiment: Delightful Dozen (SU)
VersaMark and Gold embossing powder
Border Punch (Fiskars)
1" square punch
Postage Stamp Punch (SU)

Wetlands: Sandpipers

I love Horses

I just love horses.  I've never owned my own horse, but I ride whenever I get the chance...which, sadly, isn't very often anymore.

Anyway, I believe it was a friend who sent me a link to a card made with one of these sets.  So, of course, I had to buy them all.

I gave this set of note cards to a friend who also loves horses :)

Upsy Daisy

I've haven't put anything on my blog since November...just lost the mojo to do the uploading, etc.

So, today I decided I wanted to make a card using a color combination I saw on another card.  Ended up with this blast from the past.  I like it :)
