Wings of Friendship

Hello Everyone!

This is a card I did for my January class. I can't remember where I saw this layout, but if you recognize it, please let me know and I'll be happy to give full credit. I used Flock Together designer paper and the stamp from Wings of Friendship which is a level 2 hostess set. I punched the Very Vanilla circles with the 1 3/4 circle punch and the Tempting Turquoise Circles are cut with the circles die for the Big Shot. The bottom half of the designer paper is the opposite of the top. Love how Stampin' Up! designs these things for us!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Giggles Good-bye "Bard"

Hi Everyone!

I'm sure you are wondering what a "bard" is, right? It's a card that is turned into a book for everyone to sign when you are leaving your job.

I made this adorable bee using Gretchen Barron's tutorial. The sky was sponged with Bashful Blue, also using a technique Gretchen has on her blog (I now have my own "mutual turtle") -- once you go on her blog, you'll know what I'm taking about -- he, he, he. That woman is an amazing stamper and artist!!! You can see her blog at: http://www.gretchenbarron.typepad.com/. Her tutorials are VERY reasonably priced and you get a serious amount of photos and instruction.

On the pages of the "bard" I stamped different flowers as I was using a theme of "spring" and a new beginning for my friend Dawn and her fiance (of which, I didn't have the sense to photograph . . . ) and then matted them with different nestabilities and SU border punches. I am going to recreate a few of the flowers for cards as I had a ball stamping and coloring them. The side of the "bard" is bound using the Bind-It-All and I tied discontinued SU organdy ribbon on the side. The flower is punched with the new flower punch and the leaves are from the bird punch, both in the Occasions mini.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think about my "bard!" :-D

Wedding Thank You Notes

Hi Everyone!

I'm posting some thank you notes I made for a friend of mine. She wanted different cards for different individuals. This first card is for the minister (what gave it away???). :-D

I used the Bridesmaid paper and the new border scallop punch.

This next card was for her flower girl. I used the dress that Patty Bennett had on her blog. I punched the hearts from the new small heart punch in the Occasions mini.


This next card was the thank you for the parents. I brayered the Bermuda Bay ink on the Bridesmaid cardstock. The sentiment is from Elegant Thank You.



This card was for her God-daughters. The heart is punched from the Bridesmaid paper and the Bermuda Bay heart is from the sizzlet. Once again, I had brayered color on the Bridesmaid paper and used the reverse side of the Bermuda Bay ribbon to make a knot. The sentiment is from Thank You Kindly.

This card was for her God-sons.

Thanks for taking a look. Drop me a comment and let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday Butterflies!

Hello Stampers!!

This is another card my Wanda's Webcam Wonders in Denver, Colorado made. This is a CASE from Judy Wiles, a stamper in the group I found here in South Carolina. Isn't this incredible??? I love her use of color.

I used Taken With Teal for the card base. Pumpkin Pie is the next layer and then Whisper White. The square punches are the same colors as are the butterflies which are punched out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The flowers around the bottom are from Vintage Vogue and are stamped in Apricot Appeal randomly around the sentiment (from Well Scripted) which was stamped in Taken With Teal. It's kind of hard to see, but the punched squares also have the same flower in the coordinating color stamped on it. The bottom of the Apricot Appeal piece is punched with the border punch from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

Thanks for taking a look. Let me know what you think!

Rubber Hugs,

Wanda
