Fine Butterfly Birthday

Hello, Stampers. I hope you have been having a great week. I have another birthday card to show you. Sorry it's not the best picture. We all know that a photographer I am not.... Anyhow- I have fallen in love with the Fine Flourish stamp and the kissing technique.

It makes an especially pretty butterfly with the Butterfly Accent stamp. Both are available as single stamps in the Occasions Mini catty through April 30. You can order from my website 24/7 at tory (dot) stampinup (dot) net and click on the shop now button in the upper right hand corner.

Well, this is just a short mid-week post. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and a lovely weekend. It looks like another busy one around here! Until next time, remember, if I can stamp, you can, too.

Coworkers birthday card

I have couple more co-workers with birthdays this month, so I have been working on cards for them. I finished one tonight and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It also fits the weekly challenge over at Late Night Stampers, my yahoo group. The challenge was to use "bling." If you can't tell, you can click the picture to make it larger and so you can see that I spritzed the pink cardstock with shimmer mist made from shimmer paint and alcohol. It's really pretty and shimmery IRL.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla and Pretty in Pink

Ink: Basic Black

Stamp Set: Happy Thoughts

Misc: Stampin' Markers (Pretty in Pink, Green Galore, Sahara Sand, Summer Sun), Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Big Shot, Very Vanilla satin ribbon, paper piercer and Matt Pack, oh and Stampin' Dimensionals

Until next time, remember, if I can stamp, you can, too

Birthday cards for two

Hello again, Stampers. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I was WAY too busy. But then, that's how most weekends go. LOL

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made last week. One is for my dad and on is for DS3. Can you guess which one is for who?

This top one is simply Not Quite Nave and White Frost Shimmer Paint with a punch of Whisper White. I thought it turned out really pretty. The sentiment in the center is Not Quite Navy and then I daubed over it with the shimmer paint.

Stamp sets used were Medallion background stamp and Vintage Labels (FREE SAB ITEM)

This cute little monkey card was a lot of fun.

cardstock: Soft Suede and Sahara Sand

Ink: Soft Suede

Stamps: Fox and Friends

I hope you enjoyed these quick projects. If you'd like to find out more about making these cards yourself, please let me know. My email address is tabray@sbcglobal.net and I'm always glad to help you stamp!

Oh, yea! The monkey card is for my DAD! He's always up to some kind of monkey shines!

Pretty Birthday Card and A New Winner

Hello, Stampers! Hope you are all happy and warm tonight. I never did hear from Jacqui, so DD drew a new name from the bowl.

Now....Here's a card I made for a co-workers birthday coming up.

Ink: Basic Black, Pink Passion
Stamp Sets: Happy Moments, Whimsical Words

I think she'll like it. She's one of those fun, bubbly personalities and I know she likes yellow!

Well, that's about it for tonight. Remember, if I can stamp, you can, too!
