Lunchbox Surprise

One of my fav things to do is make little notes and or cards and put them in my daughter's lunch box.  I started doing this last year when she was in kindergarten and have continued to do it.  I thought this was a special way to let her know that I am thinking of her and a creative way to help her with her reading.  Here are a couple of cards that I made for my kids last night and surprised them with today.  I put the pony card in my daughter's lunch box and gave my son his card after day care.  I think they really enjoyed getting these.

Fun with Stamping Techniques

 Hello Stamping Friends! I have been busy creating for my upcoming StampingTechnique Club next weekend.  ONe of the technique that I will bedemonstrating is the Baby Wipe Technique.  This technique is a lot of fun and makes for amazing stamped images.  If you haven't tired this technique yet ...you really need to do so. 

The Pig card was made with the Pig image from the Button Buddies stamp set.  To get this multi-colored effect I  used 3 different Classic re-inkers (Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Crumb Cake ).

The flower card was made with image from the Mixed Bunch stamp .  Italso uses uses 3 different Classic Re-Inkers (Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze and Marina Mist).  I really like how well both of them turned out.

Whenever my Stamping Technique and Scrapbook Club meets we always do a technique or 2 as well as a double page scrapbook layout.   I have a great idea for a scrapbook double page layout using the multi-colored Pig image. I can't wait to show it to you!

Hello Button Buddies Flower Card

OK I promise after this upload I will switch to a different stamp set.  hahaha I am really enjoying the Button Buddies stamp set.  I found the flower already embossed and sponged sitting on my stamp table so I must not have liked the original plan for it.  Well here is a different card I made using it.  The Flower image was stamped in VersaMark on Crumb Cake card stock then embossed with White Embossing Powder and the sponged with Early Espresso Classic Ink.  This time I did add a button from the Neutrals Designer Buttons so that I could add a little tag in the center of the flower.  The Whisper White layer behind the flower has the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing folder on it.  I like that look.

Citrus Hello

After making the Lemon Surprise scrapbook page of my son and commenting that the citrus image in the Tart & Tangy stamp set could be used as an orange, lemon or lime the inspiration came to make a card just like that.  Here is my "Citrus Hello" card.  This is a very easy card to make and quickly duplicate.  I love those kinds of cards.  :o)  I have seen quite often other creators putting scallop edges like the one I did on this card.  I don't think I have done that before but I really like that effect.  The stamp Tart & Tangy stamp set is lots of fun to stamp with.  If it is a set on your "wishlist" make sure you purchase it before the end of June because after that it is no longer available.  Another stamp set that I used on this card is the Fundamental Phrases card.  This is a great stamp set as it consists of words for not only occasions but every day use like the word I picked for my card.  This stamp set is also on the "Last Chance" stamp set list.  I was going over the Last Chance Accessories list the other night and saw that the HodgePodge Hardware is an item on that list.  I still have some left so I thought I would use a brad to put the finishing touch on my card.  Did you notice that this card does not have any ribbon on it?  Are you surprised?  I am....mostly all of my cards have some sort of ribbon on it.  Perhaps my use for the Styled Silver HodgePodge Hardware was enough to use as an embellishment.  My card size is 3" x 5".

Puppy Hello

One of the ladies in my 10-4-10 club saw this cute little puppy made out of Stampin' Up! punches on SCS under Jackie Topia's gallery (jactop) and wanted to use it in our club.  So I made this card to send to her to thank her for finding this cute little puppy and to also let her know that we will be using this puppy on our double page scrapbook layout in February.  I hope she likes my card.  I like sending cards out to my club members letting them know of the things that we will be creating in upcoming club meetings.  I also sent this card to another club member.
