Memorable Moments Birthday Card

It has been a while since I have posted. I was going to post this the other day, but our internet was down which made it impossible for me to post. I guess better late than never.
This card was made for my mom. You do not have to ask what for or how old because it is all right there for you to know and see. She told me, "You had to put how old I was on there didn't you." This is why I like this stamp set. It is nice being able to put the number of years, whether it is for a birthday or anniversary. It makes the card very personal for the receiver.

These are the Stampin' Up! items I used to create this card.

Stamp set: Memorable Moments

Classic Ink: Night of Navy and Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, and Gingham Garden DSP

Tools: Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Little Leaves Sizzlit, and a Boho Blossoms Punch

Accessories: Large Pearl Basic Jewels

Once again, being honest with you, I did not like this card. For some reason I really struggle with the look of plain cardstock. I did not like the flowers, but once I put in the leaves it made a huge difference. Now I can say I like it.

Now go-n-stamp!!

Zoo Review and Open Sea Father's Day Cards

Hello again. I don't know about you, but this has been a very busy week for me. My daughter and son-in-law just moved back home from living in Wyoming for almost 6 years. It is very nice being able to be a part of their lives and my grandson's life (in the flesh), again.
On to the cards I have posted. These were the other 2 Father's Day cards I had made for this year.The first card was made using the stamp set "Zoo Review." The second card was made with "The Open Sea." The Open Sea is definitely one of my top favorite stamp sets. It is also one I would say if you are an avid stamper, you need to own it. I have seen lots of beautiful cards made using it. So worth the investment.

The Zoo Review Father's Day card was made with the following Stampin' Up! items.
Stamp Sets: Zoo Review and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, and Well Worn DSP (retired)
Classic Ink: Early Espresso and Cajun Craze
Tools: Big Shot, Houndstooth and Square Lattice Embossing Folders, Word Window Punch, Stampin' Sponge, the Paper Piercing Pack Occasions and the Paper Piercing Tool, and Watercolor Pencils (retired)

The Open Sea Card was made using the following Stampin' Up! products.
Stamp Sets: The Open Sea and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Night Of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, and Naturals White
Classic Ink: Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, and Basic Gray

Father's Day Card

Yesterday was Father's Day. I have a few special fathers in my life. None of them are my own father though because he passed away 5 years ago. I would have made him a card for sure if he was still with us. I plan on seeing him again though. That is because of the hope I have in Jesus. Back to the other fathers in my life. One is my husband and the other two are my son-in-laws. I love them all.
The first card I am sharing with you was for my oldest daughter's husband, Bryan! Together they have a 3 year old little boy. Bryan is a wonderful father to Blake. I am very grateful for that.

You need the following Stampin' Up! products to make this card. Now go-n-stamp!!

Flowering Flourishes Card

   Welcome to my blog. If you have never visited before, I would like to personally thank you for stopping by. I hope you like what you see and it gives you ideas for creating your own cards. You can always leave a comment on any of the cards I have made telling me what you think. For those of you that visit my blog regularly, I want to tell you "thanks" I appreciate you very much. You make me want to continue doing this.
  The card you see here was made for my daughter for Mother's Day. I did not use a sentiment on it, which means you can use it for any female for any occasion. I am not normally a bright color person, but that is why I really like this card.

These are the Stampin' Up! items I used to create this card.

Cardstock: Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango, Summer starfruit, Melon Mambo, whisper white, and Sycamore Street DSP (retired)

Classic Ink: Tangerine Tango

Stamp Set: Flowering Flourishes

Tools: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Elegant Butterfly Punch, and the Bitty Butterfly Punch

Accessories: Island Indigo 3/8" ruffled ribbon (retired)

 After I had already taken pictures of this, I decided to add a Pearl Basic Jewel to the center of the butterfly. You can do that too, if you would like.

Apothecary Accent Card

  Hello everyone! I wanted to share a card with you that I made for my Mom. I got the idea from another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Connie Babbert. You can see her card and instructions by clicking here. I do not like copying someone elses work. It is similar, but not exactly the same.
 

To create this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products.

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, and Fan Fair DSP

Classic Ink: Island Indigo

Stamp Set: Flowering Flourishes

Embellishments: Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and Pearl Basic Jewels

Tools: Big Shot, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Ovals Collection Framelits, Paper Piercing Pack Essentials, Paper Piercing Tool, Stampin' Pierce Mat, and a Stampin' Sponge

  It did take a little bit of time to create this card because of all of the layers. In the end, it is well worth the effort. Please leave a comment if you would like. Also if you have any questions you can do that too.

Postage Due Mother's Day Card

To all of you Mom's, I pray you had a wonderful Mother's Day, yesterday. I was able to visit with my mom and one of my daughters. Next year my other daughter will probably be able to visit too. This all depends on where she and her husband live. I am praying it won't be very far away, but I do not know.
  I thought I would share with you one of the three cards I made for Mother's Day. The card I am sharing with you, today, is the only one that says "Mother's Day" on it. The other two could be used for other occasions, which is why I am holding off on them. When creating this card at first I did not add any glitter to it. I took pictures of it without, but then I thought maybe I should have added glitter.

 
  Below is the card with the glitter added to it.

 These are the Stampin' Up! supplies you need to create this card.

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Primrose Petals, Early Espresso, and Naturals Ivory

Stamp Set: Postage Due and All Holidays (retired)

Classic Ink: Island Indigo, Early Espresso, and Primrose Petals

Tools: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Designer Frames,

Extra Large Oval Punch, and a Stampin' Sponge

Accessories: 1/4" Early Espresso Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon

   



Tell me what you think. Do you like the plain card on top or the one with glitter on the bottom.

Wedding Shower Invite 3

Here is the last of the Wedding Invitation samples. This is not only the one that was chosen out of the three, but it is the easiest one to create. Since this was only a sample, the insert is blank. If I were making the insert, the part that shows outside of the pocket would have said, "You're Invited."

These are the Stampin' Up! materials used to create this card.

Cardstock: Night Of Navy, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White

Tools: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper and Perfect Polka Dots embossing Folders, and the Eyelet Border Punch (retired)

Accessories: 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon
