It's a Stylized Birthday!

Well happy Saturday! Today we celebrate my mother in laws birthday. It was actually Monday, but today, we are all off from work and able to all get together to celebrate with her. She's a great lady and loved by all that's for sure. I'm so blessed that I don't have one of "those" mother in laws. You know, the ones that horror stories are made from. She's just the sweetest lady. And you would never guess she's turned 80 years young!

So here is the card I made for her.

Supplies:
Paper: Night of Navy Cut 11" x 4 1/4" and scored and folded at 5 1/2"; Petals and Paisley's DSP cut 5 1/4" x 4" (the Rich Razzleberry tone on tone); 2" x 4" (the paisley piece) and 2" x 5 1/4" (Night of Navy banner); Night of Navy - enough to cut the largest scalloped circle from the Layered Circle framelits; Very Vanilla - enough to stamp Happy Birthday and cut with the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes framelits; Night of Navy cut 2 1/4" x 4 1/8"
Stamp set: Stylized Birthday
Ink: Night of Navy
Misc: Banner Triple Punch, Big Shot, Layered Circle Framelits, Stitched Shape Framelits

Directions:
Adhere the Rich Razzleberry DSP to the card base then layer the paisley piece to the Night of Navy panel and adhere to the bottom portion of the card using Snail adhesive. Next, banner one end of the Night of Navy DSP and adhere that to the center of the card with Snail adhesive. Then, using the largest scalloped circle in the Layering Circles collection, cut the Night of Navy. Stamp the Happy Birthday in Night of Navy ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out using the largest circle framelit in the Stitched Shapes collection and layer with the scalloped circle you cut. Adhere that to the front of your card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I love to hear from you so please feel free to leave me your comments. Have a great day and happy stamping,

The Warmth and Cheer of Seasonal Bells

Well happy Thursday to you! Today, I wanted to share with you this cute card I made with the Seasonal Bells Bundle.

Instructions:
1.Begin by cutting Crumb Cake CS 5 1/2" x 11" and score and fold at 5 1/2" for the card base.
2. Cut a piece of the green plaid paper from the Warmth and Cheer DSP pack to 3 3/4" square and adhere to the center of the card base.
3. Run a piece of Garden Green cardstock cut 2" x 4 1/2" through the Dynamic Cable Knit embossing folder and adhere that to the left side of the card.
4. Cut a second piece of the Warmth and Cheer DSP pack (I used the Garden Green and Delightful Dijon plaid) cut at 1" x 4 1/2" and adhere that toward the bottom of the card.
5. Cut out a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the largest oval in the Stitched Shapes Framelits collection and adhere it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
6. Stamp the bell with the snowflake from the stamp set in Garden Green onto Garden Green cardstock and again in Delightful Dijon ink onto the coordinating cardstock and punch out with the Bell punch. Adhere the bells onto the oval using Stampin' Dimensionals.
7. Stamp the "Happy Christmas" banner in Garden Green ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and cut it out using the coordinating die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits and adhere to the card above the stitched oval using Stampin' Dimensionals.
8. Finally embellish with Gold Enamel shapes in the upper right corner.
9. Using the same Garden Green and Delightful Dijon DSP, I adhered that to the envelope flap and trimmed around the shape for a perfect fit.

A "Yummy Little Christmas" Treat

Hi there! I know I don't typically post on a Monday, but I didn't want you to miss out on the last day of the Online Extravaganza so I thought I would get this post up for you and I wanted to show this adorable little treat holder using the Yummy Little Christmas stamp set that is on sale right now, but that sale ends today!

To create this adorable little treat holder, you will need a piece of DSP cut 5" x 5". Line it up on the envelope punch board at the 2" mark and punch and score, turn a half turn and line up at the 3" mark and punch and score, turn a half turn and line up at the 2" and punch and score, then finally turn a half turn and line up at 3" again, punch and score. Fold and burnish 3 of the score lines, leaving one of the short score lines unfolded and burnished. This will be the top of your treat holder. Adhere the 3 flaps using Snail adhesive.

Using Crumb Cake ink, ink up the utensil "wheel" stamp, stamp off onto scrap paper and then stamp the image onto the Whisper White cardstock, then ink up the "Indulge A Little" stamp with Real Red ink and stamp into the center of the utensil "wheel". Punch this image out using the 1 1/4" circle punch. I also punched out a scalloped circle using the retired 1 3/4" scalloped circle punch and I punched a scrap piece of Real Red cardstock using the 1 3/8" circle punch. I layered the pieces using snail adhesive and attached it to the envelope using a Stampin' Dimensional.
