Happy Birthday with Delivering Cheer!

 Thursday, November 18, 2021

My daughter-in-law, Katie, had her birthday last week. I used the Delivering Cheer to make her birthday card. I love a stamp set that is versatile!

I loved how it turned out and I think she did too!

Card Details:

• A2 card base in Fresh Freesia
• 4" x 5-1/4" Heart and Home Designer Series Paper (available Jan. 4, 2022!) Wrap a piece of Black and White Gingham ribbon around and adhere to card base.
• I stamped the image on a piece of Basic White cardstock and colored using the Stampin' Blends in Light and Dark Balmy Blue, Light and Dark Mint Macaron, Light and Dark Fresh Freesia and Light Black. I mounted it onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock. I'm sorry I don't have the exact measurements for the cardstock.
• Add dimensionals to image and adhere to card base.
• Stamp the sentiment from Timeless Tulips in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Ahere to a piece of Basic Black cardstock and adhere to card base.
• Add 3 Classic Matte Dots  (available Jan. 4, 2022!) to finish the card.

I hope you will use the Delivering Cheer stamp set in a non-holiday way!

Way to Goat!

 Saturday, November 6, 2021

Happy Saturday, my friends! Today's card features the third and final goat image from the Way to Goat stamp set. I paired it with the Ever Eden's DSP and gold foil as I did with the other two cards I made this week.

 And in case you missed it this picture of the goats on my FB page this is where I got my inspiration to even consider purchasing the Way to Goat stamp set and making the cards! There are many goats on our morning walk. They crack me up! They are quite friendly and curious! And rather cute, too!

I am entering my card in this week's Freshly Made Sketches 510.

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Stamping!

• 4" x 4-3/4" So Saffron; emboss with the Tasteful Textile EF. This is my new favorite embossing folder! I love it! Fray the edges of the cardstock and roll the corners up a bit. 
• Wrap a piece of demin ribbon around the So Saffron piece along with some Linen Thread. Adhere So Saffron piece to the card base.
• Stamp the focal image from the Seasons of Fun stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color using Stampin' Blends. I used Light and Dark Misty Moonlight, Dark So Saffron, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Old Olive, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Petal Pink and Light and Dark Smoky Slate. Use whatever colors make you happy!
