Happy 5th Birthday, Shane

August 26, 2013 · 7 Comments

Such a big day today for little man Shane.

First off, it’s his 5th birthday! Wow! Five years old! That’s always a big deal for little ones.

And, to add to that, it’s his first day of school. Kindergarten.

Lots of big things, all in one day. I’m sure he will do just fine with all the excitement. It’s mom that might have a bigger time with it! Nonetheless, congratulations to Lauren and Nona, Kelly with the joyful day!

I had this card in thoughts, but just not how I was going to create it. I looked to Fab Friday for some inspiration. This is their 25th challenge for Fab Friday. A ‘golden’ one, but I went for silver on my card creation. lol!

I used a couple of retired items to create this card. Brights DSP Stack – got lots of those around the craft room – and the Made for You stamp set. I just had fun. The candle flames will surprise you. I made them using the long since retired Stocking Builder Punch. It’s the heel! Worked perfectly here!

Looking at the photo, the card photographed rather brightly, but it is sure to please in person. Kids don’t care. It means something just to be remembered, and, um, maybe to get a gift too!

Once again, Happy 5th Birthday Shane!

Balloon Fun Birthday, Card #2

March 7, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Posting another one of my Card Buffet creations. This one is just perfect for a child’s birthday, boy or girl. See how sweet and cute –

This too, was a popular card at the class. However, you should have seen the supply box! Wow, just about every punch I had went into making this little cutie. My poor Wall of Punches was empty!!! This card was really easy to make, it just took several steps. A card like this really shows the versatility of Stampin’ Up’s punches. I think it was worth it. Don’t you agree?

Supplies. Party This Way Stamp Set (FREE during Sale-A-Bration!). Basic Black Ink. Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, and Old Olive Card Stocks. Brights Pattern Pack Series DSP. Full Heart, Owl Builder, Cupcake Builder, Modern Label, and Word Window Punches (see what I mean? 5 punches!). Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. White Bakers Twine.

Now, I must admit. For this card I definitely had some inspiration. Thanks Anja Beckmann! I had seen 2 cards of hers that were similar.

Freshly Made Fridays, #24

March 2, 2012 · 6 Comments

Finally. After lots of interruptions.

I decided to make playing along with this weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge a priority.

Last week, I was busy preparing and cutting and cutting and more cutting for my card buffet. It, literally, was not in the cards for me to participate. Although, last week was a really cool sketch

…….anyway, here is what I came up with for this week –

Not too bad, eh? I just LOVE this stamp set. I got it last week and have been trying to decide how to use it. So, here we go. My finished card was a bit tricky to photograph as it kept curling. Totally the Lattice’s fault!

Supplies. I Dig You Stamp Set. Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White Card Stocks. Brights Collection DSP Paper Stack. Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade and Basic Black Stampin’ Write Markers (yes, I know these are different colors than the card stock – card took a different direction and the markered image worked). Lattice Embossing Folder.

This was the actual sketch, in case it was not obvious –

Hope you enjoyed my take on it this week. I love to read your comments. You’ve got this far, so now, leave a comment! : )

Late Birthday Buckle Snail

August 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

At my monthly stamp classes, I like to introduce something *new*. Usually a technique or a new card fold.

So, this month I chose the *Buckle Card* fold. This is what I designed –

I was sooo excited to receive my Button Buddies Stamp Set. And, in Libby fashion, had to come up with something a little different. The outside, jumbled, greeting is from the Hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes. Here is the inside of the card –

We markered part of the sentiment also from the Hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes, “a little bit late”. Because how many times have you forgotten someones birthday and needed a card to still send?

Funny story. I always go around and demo each project before letting everyone work on their own. I cut, punch, glue, and stamp the sample upside down because I am usually facing everyone. Well, for this card, I did. And, I punched it wrong. But, no worries. This is how it turned out –

See, looks just fine! I did not add the button, because, you get the idea here.

I used the bulk buy Tempting Turquoise Buttons, Brights DSP Paper Stack, Tempting Turquoise Ink and card stock. Additionally, I used the Word Window Punch.

Hope you ~~like~~, I mean love this card. I sure do!

Happy Stampin’
