Babies and Chocolate

I received my first real baby stamp set today. I don't have children of my own and never really stamped when my niece was a baby. So I never had a need for a baby set. But last week Gina K Designs came out with the cutest set ever. Melanie design this adorable Wee Tee set for GKD and it is fabulous. It is no secret that I absolutely adore her first two Tee sets. The Wee Tee set is just as fun. I had to have it. There are so many cute little images and words to go with the set. I think my favorite is the word "stinker". I need to use that on something very soon.

I stamped the onesie onto this adorable patterned paper. I decided to stamp baby and stitch it to make it look like an embroidered onesie. I also stitched the outline of the flower on the sleeve. Before I stitched it I reinforced the back with some clear tape. This made it study enough to stitch. I went a little crazy with the buttons. Very fun! LOL! I hope you enjoy it.

And then there is CHOCOLATE. The card base is NEW Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss 120# card stock. It is amazing. It is darker than chocolate chip and twice as thick. Absolutely love it!

Stamps: Wee Tees, Bold Flowers
Paper: Chocolate Kiss, Kraft, Real Red

While I Was Camping...

I went camping this weekend and whipped up a few cards with my favorite stamps from Gina K Designs.

For this card I used my new flower shaped nestabilities dies. Very fun. The patterned paper with the clouds and the cute little owl look great on the Little Tee from Gina K Designs.


More fun with the cool patterned paper with the owls and clouds. I also love the white paper flowers from Gina K Designs. They are fun to color to match any project.



Isn't this guy just adorable. He is on a wild ride with a groovy background.

Stamping in the woods can be very inspiring. I was also able to share my supplies with my niece and she made some amazing cards for her family and friends. She even made one for me. :o)

Have a super week.

Sugar Coated Flowers

Lee posted the Potluck Friday Challenge over at StampTV.com and asked us to glitter up our cards. She is the queen of all things blinged out. So this challenge was not a surprise. Here is my card:

I received my flower punches from Gina K Designs on Thursday and finally had a chance to try them out. I stamped flowers from the Bold Flowers set using various Memento ink colors onto Pure Luxury White card stock. I also stamped the scalloped rectangle background with smaller stamps from the same set. I punched out the flowers using my new punches. Very easy! I found some new embossing folders made by Sizzix. The 2-pack I bought contained the paisley background you see on the card base and there was a flower background that I used to emboss the centers of my flowers. Cool, huh? I sanded the flowers slightly so make the embossing more noticeable. I coated the flowers and scalloped rectangle with glitter using my Essential Glue Pad. I added some eyelets to the center of each. And used some cool ribbon I bought on clearance somewhere (can't remember where I found that). It matches Memento's Bahama Blue quite nicely. I hope you enjoy the card and have a super Saturday.

TripleTheSketch #49 - Love You

I just recently discovered triplethesketch.blogspot.com. This is my first card for the weekly sketch challenge #49. This was a fun sketch. I actually did not end up using the paper or stamped image I started out with. But I am very happy with the results of this card. I pulled out some paper, a few stamp sets and a punch that I have not used in quite a while. I just love this bright paper from K & Company. The collection is called Berry Sweet. I bought it about a year ago and haven't really used it that much, so time to dust it off and start using it again. I haven't used Unfrogettable in ages as well. I think this little frog looks so cute with the fun designs on the Berry Sweet paper. The flower beads were left over from a craft kit my mom bought several years ago. She didn't need them and gave them to me. The colors look great with the Berry Sweet Paper as well.

I was very sick Friday. I had a 100 degree temperature and came home early from work to rest. My dear sweet boyfriend stopped my after work to check in on me. He drove me to the grocery store so I could pick up a few items that I needed. Then he stayed with me to keep me company and was just very sweet. I am glad to say I feel much better today, and I am sure his presence last night helped me get better sooner. So anyway, I made this card for him to tell him how much I love him. He loves all of the cards I make using bright colors. I'm pretty sure he will like this one.

Thanks for stopping by & letting me share my little story. I hope you are having a super weekend!
