Pretty & Quick Card

Hello Stamping Friends,

Just dropping by quick today with a quick and easy card that is pretty too. It would be a great card for many different occasions, birthday, sympathy, get well, thank you thinking of you. Yep, it's that versatile. Plus you can make a bunch of them up, use some different greetings on them and give them as a gift. I know many of us think we can't give the same card out but when you buy a box of cards (gasp! Not that any of us do that) you get multiple of the same image and no one blinks an eye. So go ahead make them, stamp different greetings and give them as a nice little gift.

I used the Swirly Bird stamp set to make some pretty flowers. The colors I used make this card bright and cheerful. This card is sure to brighten anyone's day.

So what are you waiting for, hurry and go make this card. Don't have the supplies? You can always head over to my store and order exactly what you need to get going. ORDER HERE

Let's Hear It for the Red, White, & Blue

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy 4th of July weekend to you. What are your big plans? Family picnic, amusement park fun, camping, shopping for deals, watching fireworks, or just relaxing.  Tomorrow Jonah and I are working a coin drop for his soccer organization for a few hours, Sunday is the Yurkanin family reunion picnic and the rest of the weekend will be spent bouncing around with the Yurkanin family because Don's brother is visiting from Arizona. Lots of family time.

It's Friday and you all know what that means. Yep, Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are focusing on the red, white & blue in honor Independence Day. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make but finally came up with America's favorite mice. Yep, Mickey and Minnie are here to celebrate the fireworks with us. Walt Disney World is a certainly an American tradition with a large percentage of people.

I am absolutely loving the Swirly Bird stamp set. Funny thing, I wasn't so sure about it when I initially laid my eyes on it. However, my thoughts have drastically changed. It is an AWESOME stamp that you can do so many great things with. I will be using it a lot, I promise.

Aren't these the cutest? I envisioned this in my head and then it came together perfectly once I got the stamps, ink and paper out. We all know that doesn't happen every time you have an idea. So, needless, to say, I'm thrilled with the final card. Hope you like it even half as much as I do.

FYI: the bow on Minnie is the white thick baker's twine. I just ran it trough the ink pad a few times to color it blue.

Don't forget to stop by Sisters in Stamping for more red, white and blue inspiration.

Welcome to the In Colors

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Friday to you. Any big plans for the weekend? It is Father's Day on Sunday so don't forget Dad. Remember there were some great Father's Day cards shared last week with Sisters in Stamping. This week with the Sisters we are sharing projects using the new in-colors for 2016-2018. I really like this year's colors and can see using them a lot. I always love the anticipation of what the colors will look like and what the name of each color will be. It's always fun to see them for the first time.

This card is made to look like a door with wreath hanging on it. I used all of the new in colors except sweet sugarplum to make this card. Even got some of the awesome new ruched ribbon represented. This card has a lot of layers and it is a bit labor intensive so I wouldn't suggest making a 100 of these beauties but making one or two for a special occasion like a house warming party you may be going to isn't so bad.  I honestly love how this card turned out. The Swirly bird stamp  set is so versatile and I will be using it a lot.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more great ideas using the fun new in colors.

Don't forget tomorrow is the:
