Stampin' Fun!

I have been busy the last couple days finishing up my mom's mothers day gift, doing grad cards and working on something for the "MISS" May Swappers Group I am in. I am in the Trendy Trees Swap. Here are 2 cards I made for that, which should I do for my swap?

I think this one is my favorite, I used Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White and Basic Brown. Urban Garden DSP, Eyelet Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Small Oval Punch, Square Punches and Photo Corner punch...whew...lots of punches! I just got the gorgeous whisper white organza ribbon, I love it! Including the Trendy Trees Stamp Set I also used the Oval All set.

This is the other card I made as another possible for the swap. Still using Pink Piroette and Whisper White and Riding Hood Red instead of Kiwi Kiss. I used my circle punches, eyelet, scallop, small and wide oval punches. I finished it off with some whisper white 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I used the trendy trees wheel on this one with the Trendy Trees Set.

I made this desk post-it holder to go with my Moms Mothers Day gift that I showed on my last post. You can see my tutorial for this here.

Last but not least this card is for my husbands cousin that is graduating from the University of North Texas. I cased this card completely from a card I saw on SCS you can see it here, I just changed out the colors. I used Glorious Green, Whisper White and Basic Black and the Great Grads Stamp set.

Thanks for checking out my blog today!

Happy Stampin'!

My Mama's Gift

Mothers Day is quickly approaching! Are you ready?

This is what I have made for my mom for Mothers Day! I bought the desk set tutorial from Becky Roberts you can view and purchase hers here. I added DSP to the back of mine and lined the inside as well. I am going to make one of my post it holders to match too. I am also giving her a bunch of misc. cards that I have so she will be prepared for whatever occasion comes her way! Now if I can just be patient and wait to give it to her!

I used the retired Spring Flowers DSP and Spring Bouquet Punch. Current items include the Chocolate Chip corduroy buttons and the half pearls from stampin' up's pretties kit, scallop oval punch, eyelet punch and oval punch. So Saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon and Choclate Chip 1/4" ribbon. Cameo Coral, Mellow Moss & So Saffron Cardstocks.

Thanks for stopping by!
