Hello everyone!

Today, over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we have a fun, summery color challenge going on.  Also, starting with this challenge we will now have new challenges on the first and third Monday of each month, which gives you more time to play with us!

Aren't those colors just so fun?!

Here's my card:

I am *in love* with the Wood Words stamp set.  I used the circle image to create my background.  I then stamped the rooster image in Melon Mambo on a Stitched Shape Oval, and added an Island Indigo greeting underneath.  I finished my card off with a Delicate Doily, two Pretty Label punches, and bow made from the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon.

Now it is your turn - head on over to Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and play along with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with .

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Wood Crate Note Cards

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a great week.  We are busy this week preparing for the end of our homeschool year, getting ready for the spring band concert, and also get ready for Father's Day.

Last week, I made some adorable little wood crates with the new Wood Crate Framelit dies, and coordinating Wood Words stamp set.  I made these crates for my customers who came to my In Color Spectacular class last weekend.

I cut my two wood crate pieces out of Soft Suede Card Stock, and then ran them through my bigh shot with the new Pinewood Planks dynamic embossing folder.  I filled the crates with five 3" x 3" cards, with coordinating envelopes.  These cards are super simle, and came together very quickly.  

The envelopes were made from the coordinating Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper.  I am in love with that paper.

The five cards feature a small piece of the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, and each feature different stamps from the coordinating Wood Words Stamp set.

That is all I have to share for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

June International Highlights - Baby

Hello everyone! Welcome to the June International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight, hosted by Kylie Bertucci.  Each month, demonstrators from around the world participate in this themed highlight.  This month our theme is Baby.  

I do not make a lot of baby cards, and don't even own any "baby" stamp sets.  At first, I was pretty panicked about what I was going to make in order to still participate in this month's event.  Then I was looking at a wood crate I made the other day and thought, hey - that is almost a baby crib!

Here is my card when it is closed:

I love the double-z fold cards.  But sometimes, I don't like the way mine look when they are folded flat for mailing.  So, I took extra care to be sure this card still looked great, even when flat.

But the real "WOW" comes when it is opened.  I used the Wood Crate Thinlit Dies, Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, and the Pretty Label Punch to make a crib.  I decorated my crib with a Delicate White Doily, and a Powder Pink blanket made from a scalloped circle that I separated the paper layers on.  The little tiny elephant is from the Tabs for Everything stamp set.  On the side of the crib, I used the heart from the Wood Words stamp set, in Berry Burst.  The heart was used again in Powder Pink on the greeting label.  The adorable little banner hanging above the crib features more Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, a sliver from a Delicate White Doily, and the tiny elephant in Berry Burst, on Powder Pink card stock.  The banner is hung with Whisper White Bakers Twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  If you like my project, please go vote for me in Kylie's International Highlights.  There is sure to be many more awesome baby cards to look at there.

Have a great day!
