Baby Thanks

Hello!! 

Here is one the cards that I have been using as my thank you.  I wanted to keep them simple, so that I could get them done in a short amount of time.  I found in my stash of unused items, the ribbon, it is retired from a few catalogs ago, but I just loved how it looked on the card.

I stamped the image in Black staz on ink, I didn’t want to take a chance of anything running or smearing while I was coloring the images.  I also stamped the diaper pin from Short & Sweet onto the Pretty in Pink card stock, with the same color ink.  I used the eyelet punch on the edge and then I added a whisper white sheet behind that. 

Supplies:

• Short & Sweet and All in the Family stamp sets
• Pretty in Pink & Whisper White card stock
• Black staz on ink pad
• Pretty in Pink ink pad
• SU markers, pop dots, eyelet punch and retired white ribbon

Happy Stampin’ ~

Meet Lindsay….

Hello Everyone!!

Here is my newest scrapbook subject…  Lindsay Katheryn Taylor.  She was born on March 23, 2009 at 11:45pm, she weighed 8 lbs, 11 oz and was 20 inches long.  We are all doing great, she has been sleeping great, so I have been able to get my thank you cards made.  I hope to get posting on a more regular basis in the next week.  I have been working on my calendar for my summer classes, I will be doing a monthly scrapbooking class, along with another regular class.  Stay tuned for more details.

Happy Stampin’~

A tisket, a tasket, a spring basket

I enjoy being off of work, I am actually getting some stamping done.  I made a basket similar to this one, last fall at my up line meetings.  Karen Titus comes up with some great ideas, so I changed the colors and added a little more to mine design.

Here is the basket with the cards inside of it.  The cards are 3 inches x 3 inches in size.  I was thinking that they would be perfect for using on Easter baskets or something. 

I started out with the Big Shot and the scallop envelope die.  You will need to cut four envelopes out of your card stock.  I did get the four out of one sheet of paper, you don’t need all the tabs on each envelope.  The I applied the Tea Party designer series paper to each envelope and the I attached the tabs to each other and made one long strip. 

For the handle, I cut a slit into the folded down edge and inserted the handle and added a Jumbo Whisper White brad to each side.  After this step is when I glued down all the flaps to the designer series paper and attached the tabs together to make a box. 

Here are the cards that are in the inside: 

 I used Eight Great Greetings stamp set, stamped  the images in Basic Black and then used my SU markers and colored them in.  I carefully trimmed them out and applied two pop dots to back.  For the card themselves, they are 3" x 6" and folded in half, I added the Tea Party designer series paper and a thin strip of Pretty in Pink card stock to the middle.  The whisper white taffeta ribbon is added to the top and then you are done.

Supplies:

• Eight Great Greetings stamp set
• Pretty in Pink & Whisper White card stock
• Tea Party designer series paper
• Basic Black ink pad
• SU Markers, Whisper White Taffeta ribbon, 5/8" Jumbo Whisper White brads, pop dots
• Big Shot machine, scallop envelope die cut  

If I have confused you with the instructions, please send me an email and I will try to help you out.  They are acutally really simple to create.  There are so many things I can think to put inside the little basket.  Next time, I will use my scallop border punch on each side of the handle.  Here is the side view with jumbo brad…

Eight Great Greetings

Eight Great Greetings is one of the sneak peak sets that you can purchase before the Occasion Mini catalog is available on April 1st.  I fell in love with this set, because you can use it for many different cards.  For this card, I was just playing around with a few ideas.   I used the new Walk in the Park designer series paper, that is also in the mini catalog, along with Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the image in Baja Breeze added pop dots to the back and finished off with the ribbon. 

Supplies:

• Eight Great Greetings stamp set
• Baja Breeze, Basic Gray & Whisper White card stock
• Walk in the Park designer series paper
• Baja Breeze ink pad
• Basic Gray taffeta ribbon & pop dots

Be sure to check back tomorrow, I will post a cute little spring/easter basket that I made today.

Happy Stampin’
