My husband is 10 years older than I am and his oldest brother is another 12 years older. Sooo, when I got married, I suddenly had nieces and nephews only a few years younger than I! Well, one of them had a baby last week! I am now a great aunt. :) We are traveling a few hours to see them tomorrow after church and taking his great grandmother with us! I made this card to put with our gift (which is a St Louis Cardinals sleeper!).

Supplies:

Stamp Set: A Word for you

Ink: Real Red, Early Espresso

Paper: Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso textured, Tempting Turquoise

Tools: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch

Embellishments: Brights Designer Buttons in Real Red, 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon, glue dots

I've been trying new color combinations for this order of bright colored cards. I think I've come up with some good ones (hopefully the recipients think so as well!). I came up with a couple different color combos and did the card on the left. I thought the second combo would work well with the same card, so that's what I did! Since I'm putting together 2 packs of cards, for 2 people, I'll just put them in separate packs!

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Punched Posies, Warm Words

Ink:
Left Card: Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Early Espresso

Right Card: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Basic Black

Paper:

Left Card: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant

Right Card: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie

Tools: 1" Circle punch, Scallop Trim punch, Scallop Oval punch, Large Oval punch

Embellishments: 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon

Aah! I can't believe we're in the double digit days of September already! But that's good news for me as we will be heading to Colorado on Tuesday. :) I think I may go through withdrawals from stamping... but it should be a fun trip!

I have started an order of 2 packs of cards for Christmas gifts. The giver :) said the receivers :) like bright colors; I've enjoyed finding new color combos of bright colors. Here is one of them.

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Perfect Punches, Polka Dots & Paisley

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Old Olive

Paper: Crumb Cake, Real Red, Old Olive, Sweet Pea, Whisper White

Tools: Scallop Edge punch, White Embossing Powder, heat tool

Embellishments: 5/8" Real Red Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon, Brights Brad, Designer Buttons Neutrals, crochet thread colored with Tempting Turquoise marker

I think I will try my hand at setting up a future post to show another one while I'm gone... We'll see if that works. If not, you won't hear from me until I get back. I've got to squeeze in packing between working Sat, Sun & Mon!!
