Falling for the Nachos

· 8 Comments

It’s Friday! What a busy, busy week!

I made this card the other day when I saw the Nacho Average Challenges newest color challenge –

Love these colors!!!! So great to work with!

Of course, I’ve sort of gotten in a Fall/Halloween mode of card marking. It slightly influenced the creation of this card –

Isn’t this just fun!?!?

I LOVE it!!! These colors were just perfect for this leaf card. And, these letters – my new FAV!!!! They really are a must have!

I like how a card like this just comes together seamlessly! I am glad I found the time to post this. I think it suites the challenge well! Don’t you?

Bright Brotherly Birthday

· 6 Comments

Got a quick share as I’m working this deadline…..

I really like these colors at Always Playing with Paper.

Bright. Fun. Masculine. It’s perfect because my brother has his birthday in a few days.

I decided to play around with this new Party Pop Up Thinlits Dies. I decided to go simple here. It is after all, for my brother. No frill needed.

See, simple to the point. I liked the added layers of the cake.

The gold foil circle was hard to photograph. In person, it’s really a nice addition to the card. It make the candles stand out.

This is a fun card that took no time at all to create. And, there’s NO stampin’ here. Well, on the inside there is……These new dies are totally fun!

They are quickly becoming a favorite!

I’d love to hear what you think!

Just Tag It

· Leave a Comment

I had a box of stuff that needed to mailed out. You know, one of those warm up winter boxes. I always like to include a little handmade somethin’ somethin’ in the box.

Instead of a card, I decided I’d make tags instead.

I used a new stamp set from the new occasions Mini catalog, Balloon Celebration. It was THE perfect choice! From the tags, you can guess just why and what was sent –

Aren’t they just the cutest?

After I stamped the Very Vanilla, I felt the tag needed a little extra ump……I thought the cupcake liner from the Cupcake Builder Punch would be just the right added touch. I just placed it upside down so the scallops were visible a little. A sweet little gold peek.

Those balloon strings…….I adhered the Baker’s Twine to the back of the balloons. To get the wavy string look, I glued it in place with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Tricky, but it can be done!

Now I can put these in the box and get it mailed.

I’d love to read what you think.
