Last one of mine for now

We should be back to my CASEd cards on Monday.  If not, I HOPE to have something posted by then....  Aren't you SO proud of me for posting the ENTIRE month of January?  So I cheated a LITTLE and pre-wrote ALL of these, but hey, I got them done, right?  In case I DON'T get back, just know that Emma is in Cheerleading, Basketball, Sparks, school, and girl scouts.  And around that we have to visit family, start soccer practice, start ANGELO'S soccer, keep the house clean, eat, and other day-to-day stuff!  ARGH!  LOL

This card uses Pretty in Pink as the base, Rose Red My large square and the sentiment (Warm Words - retired) are Rose Red.  The DSP is Ski Slope (from the Holiday 08 mini - no longer available) and the snowflakes are also from the Holiday 08 mini - Felt Flurries.  The envelope is stamped with images from Snow Flurries (retired).

Hope to see you Monday!

Back to mine!

Just for a few days!  These are a couple Christmas cards I made to send to Canada.  And of course, to stretch these out and make a WHOLE MONTH of posts, you'll get one today and one tomorrow!  Aren't you proud of me?!?!  LOL

VERY much in LOVE with this card!  I didn't want to give it away!  The base is Baja Breeze. The large square is Kiwi Kiss and the small squares are from Holiday Wishes (fate currently OK, but when this posts, it may already be retired) and one of them is from Ski Slope (Holiday Mini, unavailable after January 18).  The ribbon is the Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla satin ribbon.  The sentiment (Warm Words - retired January 19) is stamped in Chocolate Chip craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Crabby Baja

Dotti (stampindoll at SCS) made the CUTEST card for her grandson's birthday, so I HAD to CASE it!  LOL  She used a template to make her clouds, but I sponged on Whisper White craft ink randomly for mine....  And she used the Sandy Shells wheel for the beach (I sponged on Creamy Caramel ink and stamped the starfish from Crab & Company stamp set).  So, go take a look at her SCS Gallery (check out the Criss-cross wedding card and the Celebrate the Sea!)

My base is Baja Breeze, the beach is Close to Cocoa, and the images were stamped on Very Vanilla.  I water colored them with radom colors that I felt looked like what color they should be...  The hardest part was cutting them all out!

True Baja Friends

I LOVED this one SO much I cased it almost exactly!  I think my measurements were a little off (and I didn't have any small Cup-a-Soup packets, so hot cocoa it is!), but other than that you MAY not see a difference between Suzie's (Suzie7112 on SCS) and mine!  She has a great SCS gallery with a plethora of ideas, techniques, and styles!  Go take a look!

The base is Baja Breeze, stamped with On the Spot (retired) in Baja Breeze.  I added my sentiment (Warmest Regards - retired) to the top.  Then I stamped my image in Baja Breeze and added some color to it with Pumpkin Pie and matted the whole this on Pumpkin Pie. I added some Whisper White ribbon and was done!

Heartfelt Linen

Jennifer (jenstampnator at SCS) made a great monochromatic card with this layout, so I tried to do the opposite!  LOL  I used the BRIGHTEST colors I could find!  Jennifer has a nice SCS Gallery with a BUNCH of great ideas!  Go take a look!

Well, neither of these pictures is the BEST, but you get the idea!  My base is Whisper White and I layered a piece of Linen Prints DSP (retired) on that, stamped my sentiment (Best Yet - Hostess set, retired) in Chocolate Chip craft ink, and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The image was created/colored using the chalkboard technique.  The colors are Taken with Teal and Old Olive.  Then I added a bow using White Organdy ribbon (retired).  VERY pretty (if I do say so!  LOL)

Enjoy!

Eat Linen Prints

OK, that title did NOT come out lik I wanted!  But it'll do for now....  Anyway, I LOVED how this card came out too!  I chose it mainly for the layout, since I wanted to make cards everyone could use for ANYONE.  And Susan's (safkef on SCS) layout was PERFECT, but again, I was limited by the supplies on hand.  She has a small SCS gallery, but her ideas are HUGE!  Please stop by there and give her some comment LOVE!

OK, I used a Very Vanilla base for this one, layered it with some Linen Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP - retired), then, using marker direct to stamp, stamped the cake (Eat Cake - retired) on Very Vanilla.  The candles are stamped in Chocolate Chip and Apricot Appeal.  Since I don't have the corner ticket punch, I fudged and used my circle punch on the corners.  That is matted on MORE Linen Prints DSP and the corners are done the same as the first.  And finally, the sentiment is stamped under the cake using Pink Passion.  And this is ANOTHER card my family LOVED (they're all gone!)

Don't forget to visit Susan's gallery!  See you on Monday!

Goodness!

I am SO SORRY everyone! The Tart & Tangy card I posted yesterday was actually made by Debbie (Crafty Turtle) NOT Amy. I thought I had checked all of these to make sure they weren't RAKs.... I hope she doesn't mind me posting this.... You can visit her SCS gallery at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=113948

It's amazing the wonderful galleries you come across doing a project like this! She also has some great stuff on her blog too! http://mylittlecraftingcorner.blogspot.com/
