Picnic Page

Hello again!
Today I have a quick layout (sort of- there's two fussy cut images there, that takes a minute, ha) that I actually made two of- one for each of my daughters. We just had a picnic lunch at a park together one day and I snapped some cute moments, so here's a page, ha! 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Choose Happiness, Alphabest

Ink: Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo
Paper: Basic White card stock
Accessories: Regal Foiled Dots
Journaling Font: Ink Free

Choose Happiness

Happy Wednesday! I have another card for you today!!

Today's rather simple card was inspired by THIS one on Pinterest, but I changed up the color combo and I really like the striking colors on the white!

Supplies:
Stamps: Choose Happiness
Ink: Real Red, Memento Black
Paper: Whisper White card stocks, In Color Envelope Paper
Accessories: Dimensionals

This stamp set is retiring, so if you love it, order it soon!! The striped paper is retiring too. I cut a corner off the 12x12 sheet and trimmed them down into strips.
Simple and pretty!

Choose Happiness

Remember I set a stamping goal yesterday? I totally reached it! Wahoo! *grin
This card helped me use up Dimensionals?? haha... Really, I'm featuring the new In Color Delightful Dijon. I'm not sure how much I love it, but it works together really nicely with Cajun Craze and makes for a great autumny color combination! And for the layout I used the latest Clean & Simple sketch.
I also used the Hardwood background stamp to add a bit of texture, but this time I used an old technique- to lay the card stock on top of the stamp, and "walk" your fingers across it to get a subtle touch of background stamp. I really like how it turned out!

Supplies:
Stamps: Petite Petals, Choose Happiness, Hardwood background
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze & Delightful Dijon
Paper: Delightful Dijon, Very Vanilla card stocks
Accessories: Natural Chevron Ribbon, Neutral Candy Dots (chocolate chip), Regals Candy Dots (cajun craze)

And come back tomorrow for even more!

Choose Happiness!

Happy Wednesday to you! Well, one kid has learned to sleep in, haha, but the part I like best is they both let ME sleep in if I get to, so I'll take it!
I just have a quick post today... Today's card is one of those that I liked in my head a lot more than in reality...but I'm sharing it anyway. It features the new In Colors in kind of a fun way. I used the latest sketch from the Viva La Verve sketch blog for the boxy layout.

Supplies:
Stamps: Choose Happiness
Ink: Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Watermelon Wonder, Early Espresso
Paper: Mint Macaron, Whisper White & Tip Top Taupe card stocks
Accessories: Mint Macaron Lace Ribbon

My Swap

It really has been one of those weeks! haha... Lots of good but lots of busy! And that means no time for crafting!
However, now that it's mid April I really needed to get my "Cards In the Mail" IN the mail! I actually started these early last week...I cut the bases and fronts and stamped the flowers...and set them aside. I finished the stamping and assembling yesterday and they went out in the mail today. I don't think many people who are receiving this even know I have a blog, much less look at it, so I think it's okay to share what little I did create with you today! haha!
This one is a demonstratable card, if that matters to you. A couple techniques, a couple accessories and one stamp set! I colored in the leaves with a Blender Pen right after stamping. Most of the Paper Doilies were left over scraps from lots of previous projects, haha...

Supplies:
Stamps: Choose Happiness
Ink: Rose Red, Old Olive
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock, Park Lane DP
Accessories: Paper Doilies, Artisan Embellishment Kit (which is apparently no longer available!), Dimensionals, Blender Pens

Another Wedding Card!

Nope, I haven't stamped the entire week!! But this weekend we have another wedding reception and that means I needed a card! I got my newest stamp order so of course I had to play with that! *grin I have been eyeing this stamp set since it came out and I finally got it! I used the latest Mojo Monday sketch for the layout and threw in some gold sparkly, haha! But it really is a simple card...

Supplies:
Stamps: Choose Happiness, Simply Wonderful
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White card stocks, Gold Glimmer DP
Accessories: Stacked With Love Washi Tape. Gold Buttons, White Bakers Twine, Blackberry Bliss stitched ribbon, Dimensionals

And hopefully I can do some more stamping this weekend!
